Please explain why the Draft:Preston Willingham - Sculptor Inventor Manufacturer, has been deleted. the sculptor inventor founder that I am writing about has had a lifetime of notable write ups in newspapers, national recognition forums, nationals TV and has been awarded NYC cultural council recognition and sculpted historic monuments and famous pieces for celebrities. I intend to cite all the references and sources and create links to the sources
Therefore please explain exactly what issues triggered the deletion. Sadomakoh (talk) 19:30, 21 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Dear Sir/Madam
I am a very new contributor to WIKI having joined less than 2 weeks ago from today's date . Here is why I think I should be unblocked:
  1. First, I received a notification for my initial article : (Preston Willingham -Sculptor inventor Manufacturer) that I had breached wiki rules by writing promotion and and advertising articles eg G1 Unambiguous advertising or promotion/spam there were no other clarifications given on this.
  2. I even sent a message on the talk chat asking for further clarifications on what exactly what was wring and how I should change or refrain from doing .
  3. You will see from my edits that I went back straight away as soon as I was notified about the impending speedy deletion and attempted to edit the offending document by removing any corporate copyright marks created by my subject. I looked at other artists, scientist, sculptors and entrepreneurs that have been approved by wiki etc and tied to copy the same format . including John Casado who is a mentor of the subject I am writing about.
  4. As I did not want to lose the original piece so that I could compare and keep a record of what was removed , i started a new article (Preston Willingham) and did not submit original edited version for review to go live. when I received another notification despite the changes and deletions in the second version I went further I also removed any photos that I though may be copyright or perceived to be advertising.
  5. This article is factual and I have tried to ensure that all concepts or events written about are backed up by citations and references to validate the items produced and science underpinning it as designed by the subject. when I submitted it for review, I expected that I would receive some more guidance on where in the article I may need to support the facts with more citations and references or links. or if I need to remove photos or gallery pictures.
  6. In my attempt to avoid the content being viewed as promotional, I have not shared the links that i have collected, to the news articles and talk shows of the special appearances the subject has made in his lifetime to share his story and his contributions. I have even left of the list of notable pieces he created for heads of government and industries. I have not shared these for fear that pasting the the photos that are owned by him would be a violation of copyright or seen as promotional. from this, it is clear that I have zero intentions of violating or breaching the Wikipedia rules and standards.
  7. My subject Preston Willingham has been reclusive, and yet has a story that is of interest and learning to many and should be told with no bias or slant , just facts . He had his inventions and his company taken over more than once, as I tried to share in the timelines without being inflammatory or contentious . It has been my mission to share this story. The article, as I stated when submitting it for review, is about the career time line and design pieces of the subject, Preston Willingham, who against the odds of not being able to perform at school or even state the full alphabet by the time he left high school, became a highly successful artist and scientist. I don't believe that this article is in any way in violation of G11 - which describes it to contain Unambiguous advertising or promotion
  8. With all due respect, I do not agree with what admin Bbb23 has cited - that I am "only using my account for promotion or advertising". This is a highly erroneous and possibly defamatory statement. I have only attempted one article, submitted an unanswered query, and submitted one article for review, therefore I have not demonstrated any pattern at all in misbehaving and not following the WIKI rules . I do not believe that the errors made in the draft article warrant me to to be simply and immediately blocked without any guidance being given.
  9. I have seen other Wikipedia biographical sites where by there is a box placed above the introduction paragraph, asking for some content to be removed or other content to be validated or supported with citations. So why was I not given more guidance instead of being treated so harshly as a first and very new user?
  10. I believe that I have not been given the benefit of the doubt in this situation, or any guidance, despite requesting this help in the talk to help me to restart my article and produce something that is well worth reading by the wiIKI audience. you will see form my edits I have been consistently working on reducing the article further by making significant deletions, ad adding citations and sources to see how I can finalise the article within the WIKI specified guidelines.
  11. I therefore ask for your reconsideration and for me to be unblocked as a new editor, and reversal of the speedy deletion with some useful advices upon review.
Yours sincerely
