Remarks
[edit]When I feel safe doing so, I like to be bold and move drafts into the article mainspace instead of submitting them for review, which I am discouraged from doing by two factors:
- After a draft is submitted, it may take several days (or even weeks) for it to get reviewed. On the bright side, that potentially gives editors plenty of time to improve that draft while waiting.
- Submitting puts a draft at risk of being rejected (instead of declined) by a reviewer, even if tendentious resubmissions aren't really a problem.
Of course, there's the risk that the new article may be nominated for deletion. However, if the discussion ends in favor of deletion instead of re-draftification, I can always go ask the deleter to restore the article as a draft.[a]
In some cases, draftifying an article is the best way to remove it from the mainspace as opposed to deletion. If an article seems potentially unsuitable for the mainspace, instead of nominating it for deletion and waiting days or weeks for consensus to be formed,[b] I can just move it to its draftspace counterpart, tag the mainspace remnant for speedy deletion, and let the newly draftified page sit there. Draftification keeps pages' contents and revision histories publicly available, so it seems like a decent compromise.
