I am asking for assistance because I created this draft apart from canine cancer detection. When it was declined, the reviewer commented that it has the same subject of canine cancer detection, which is true, but the difference is I added so many more qualitative things to Bio-detection dogs that isn't on Canine Cancer Detection. I have spent many hours on this draft and I believe it is worthy of its own page. I don't understand why there can't be two pages about the same subject because if a person searches canine cancer detection and sees the little about of information, then they will research Bio-detection dogs, and because my draft has a lot of qualitative information on it, it will be more helpful. This is also a school project that I have had to do for the past 4 months. I had originally planned on building off of and editing Canine Cancer Detection, but then my advisor told me that it would be better to create my own page which I did. I also think another reason it should be published is Bio-detection dogs is a page that does not currently exist on wikipedia an I would like to be the first to have it published onto wikipedia. I don't know how I can make Bio-detection dogs any more different from Canine Cancer Detection than it already is. Maybe you could help advise me on how to do this?

@Cbbdb: I don't know why your advisor thought creating a new article would be better. The entire content of Draft:Bio-detection dogs revolves around using dogs to detect cancer, a topic that already has an article. Having multiple articles on a topic is not the Wikipedia way. Wikipedia instead favors large, comprehensive articles. A reader interested in a subject should find everything worth knowing about it in one place, rather than having to read different spins on it by different editors in different places. The content you have developed should be merged with Canine cancer detection to improve that article. If you think "Bio-detection dogs" is a phrase that readers are likely to search on, you are welcome to also create a redirect from that term to Canine cancer detection (see Wikipedia:How to make a redirect).

I have written an article for review, but the title is wrong. How do I change the namespace before submitting it for review? Otherwise, I think it's ready.

 Done @Unionpearl:, fixed the title for you. MatthewVanitas (talk) 13:18, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
