Hi, @Sanskari: While this draft is most certinly NOT an approvable article, it is also not about a fictional theme, as suggested in the AfC template. Perhaps you might want to look again for a better template selection. Thanks FeatherPluma (talk) 23:26, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

Request on 17:24:21, 13 May 2016 for assistance on AfC submission by Ruthaaron
I am requesting assistance because the article I submitted was declined as a fictional work. It is not fictional. It is about a psychotherapy method currently being used in the field. I dont know what to fix since the suggestions are for articles about works of fiction.
Ruthaaron (talk) 17:24, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
What is wrong with the article? It is not a fictional work. Did you even read it? there is no copyright issues. Please leave feedback that is accurate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ruthaaron (talk • contribs) 19:09, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
