Hello, Tle017, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:Tle017/sandbox, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles.

Page for speedy deletion; How to get retrieve the deleted page

edit

How can I retrieve the deleted content on a page I was working on? The page was "tagged for speedy deletion." I would want to potentially redraft, resubmit, and make improvements. Tle017 (talk) 20:35, 2 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi Tle017. It is a simple fact that no one ever writes a draft article like that one, a glowing panegyric advertisement—which, in its prior form, was so far from a proper encyclopedia article... I'd estimate maybe 10% of the content was usable at all—if they are not an insider, intimately connected with the company and subject to Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure, which you have not complied with. Of course, I understand you may have not been aware of that, but nevertheless, that mandatory disclosure is needed. So, if you meet that standard first, return of the content as a draft may be possible on a provisional basis, but it needs to be radically changed and quickly, in order to not be subject to deletion again. After you comply, repost a request for assistance and someone else will be along (whose take on draftifying this blatant advertisement I cannot guarantee), but since only an administrator can restore deleted content, you will be better off using the {{Admin help}} template instead of {{help me}}.

Question for administrator

edit

How can I retrieve the deleted content on a page I was working on/drafted? The page was "tagged for speedy deletion." Thank you so much.

I am not an administrator but I believe I can help answer your question. Normally you read the instructions at the top of this page and create a request. In your case, however, your sandbox page was deleted as "Unambiguous advertising or promotion". This means it is not eligible for undeletion in this way. You are already in contact with the administrator who deleted it. If you address the concerns they expressed in their reply and ask them to, they may be willing to retrieve the content of the page for you to work on. It is not a likely outcome. If an article is deleted for that reason, it means the editor who requested the speedy deletion and the administrator who deleted it agree that your draft was "...exclusively promotional and would need to be fundamentally rewritten to serve as [an] encyclopedia article..." Retrieving the deleted content to try try to edit it is therefore considered unlikely to produce an article that is not promotional. Working on a new article from scratch and using the Wikipedia Article Wizard is preferable to re-editing the previous one. Note also that articles considered promotional are usually produced by editors who have a Conflict of Interest. If you have a close connection to With Clarity, you will need to follow the COI disclosure requirements, which you can find at this link. I hope that helps.

Please note that the question above is the same question I answered in the thread immediately above—posted again without complying with mandatory paid editor disclosure before doing so.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 00:24, 6 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
The above answer is correct. If you have a paid editing relationship or conflict of interest, please declare that now, before you make further edits. 331dot (talk) 10:32, 6 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
