Request on 14:26:54, 11 February 2017 for assistance on AfC submission by Mgenzac

edit


Hello. How exactly does an article get approved? Is it by the first reviewer or by any reviewer? If it is rejected how long does it take before it is deleted? When it is accepted is it moved automatically? Do some articles stay in limbo indefinitely?

Hello, Mgenzac. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. Now that you have re-submitted your draft, it will be looked at in due course by a reviewer. That reviewer might or might not be the same person who looked at it the first time. If it is accepted, the reviewer will handle the "publication" process. If it is not accepted, then the draft will continue to exist in "Draft" space, allowing you more time to improve the article. Generally, the draft will not be deleted unless there has been no activity for at least six months and, even in those cases, there is usually an attempt to notify the draft's creator that deletion is imminent. I hope this response has been helpful. NewYorkActuary (talk) 17:10, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the information. Where can I look for specific suggestions on what else I may need to add to the draft? I am not certain at what point the information on the page is considered to be adequate. I appreciate your input. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mgenzac (talk • contribs) 23:34, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Mgenzac: Our apologies for the delay in response. I'll leave some comments on your draft in a few minutes. NewYorkActuary (talk) 20:27, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
