Sherman de Vries moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Sherman de Vries, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

This move to draft is based on our discussion at IRC #wikipedia-en-help. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 05:36, 26 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

It seems I was mistaken about who was talking in IRC. Still, with your attempt at deletion, I have to consider the move to draft to still be justified.
If you have some connection with de Vries, you need to disclose that on your user page. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 16:16, 26 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Your draft article, Draft:Sherman de Vries

edit
 

Hello, KiAakiAo. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Sherman de Vries".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 06:25, 26 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
