Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of film festivals, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Macon (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Your draft article, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/A House, A Home (film)

edit
 

Hello Cameraf72. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled "A House, A Home (film)".

The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, copy this code: {{subst:Refund/G13|Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/A House, A Home (film)}}, paste it in the edit box at this link, click "Save", and an administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. HasteurBot (talk) 23:02, 23 December 2013 (UTC)Reply
