You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but if you wish to acquire additional privileges, you can simply create a named account. It's free, requires no personal information, and lets you:
- Create new pages and rename pages
- Edit semi-protected pages
- Upload images
- Have your own watchlist, which shows when articles you are interested in have changed
Note that in order for the first three features to be available, you must have had an account for a certain number of days and made a certain number of edits.
If you edit without using a named account, your IP address (83.240.234.220) is used to identify you instead.
I hope that you, as a Wikipedian, decide to continue contributing to our project: an encyclopedia of human knowledge that anyone can edit. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, or you can to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. We also have an intuitive guide on editing if you're interested. By the way, please make sure to sign and date your talk page comments with four tildes (~~~~).
Happy editing! William2001(talk) 00:37, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
In response to your message here, I was able to find an article from The Seattle Times that verifies Dixit's inhabitance in Redmond. This is also mentioned on Dixit's website and this little blurb from The Seattle Globalist. Her notability is still questionable though. She appears to pass WP:NSINGER criterion 10, and she probably received significant coverage in Indian media at the time she was active in Bollywood. The Seattle Times article is the only significant coverage I've been able to find online, however. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 20:58, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
- Hey thanks! My original Google search didn't find those. It does look like she's notable. --83.240.234.220 (talk) 23:00, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
Hello again! I'm not sure I agree with your decision to create this draft with the content of the deleted article. Promotional pages are promotional pages regardless of what namespace they are in, and G11 applies to drafts as much as it does to regular articles. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 00:25, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
- @Lord Bolingbroke: Yeah I do completely agree with you, I may have been too empathetic. The material is not salvageable for an encyclopedia, somehow thought I might help with the rewrite. --83.240.234.220 (talk) 00:41, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
- For the record, I admire your willingness to engage with an inexperienced article creator instead of immediately slapping on a speedy deletion tag. That is something we need to see more of at New Page Patrol. The article was thoroughly unencyclopedic, however, and the lack of independent sourcing made this an unambiguous G11 candidate. I'll leave the draft alone for now, but if the page is moved back to article space without significant improvement I won't hesitate to retag it. To be honest, I'm not seeing much potential for improvement. Were you able to find any independent sources? I only found sources like this or this, which don't help establish the platform's notability. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 01:06, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
- I didn't find any independant sources at a glance, but I assumed there had to exist some, as many cultural projects under the European Union are a bit hidden yet scrape by with regards to notability. Reading more about this project and its function, I'll have to say it's unlikely to ever become notable enough for inclusion and I may just have fallen for that unclear marketing copy. --83.240.234.220 (talk) 01:24, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
- Out of curiosity, what are some of these cultural projects? I'm not sure what you're referring to. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 01:55, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

Just as an FYI, I went ahead and tagged Draft:Culture Agora as a G11. The original creator doesn't seem interested in developing the draft, and there's no good reason to have promotional material sit around in draftspace. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 21:33, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
