User talk:Leed66

Welcome!

Hello, Leed66, 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 Draft:Michael Mezz, 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. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

hi @GPL93 thank you for sharing these references! I can see why my draft was nominated for deletion after reading through these resources. I will respond to the person who made the nomination to ask if I can retrieve the info for further refinement. Leed66 (talk) 22:46, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Michael Mezz

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Michael Mezz, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Michael Mezz (August 20)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by CNMall41 was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Michael Mezz and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, Leed66! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! CNMall41 (talk) 08:04, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Leed66, you don't seem to be getting it, so I'm going to make this clear: I'm not seeing any sources applied or found which seem to indicate this subject will pass WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO. You have presented sources which mention the subject, but I'm not seeing or finding any sources which directly detail the subject, that is, sources which by themselves explain to the reader why his biography should appear in an online encyclopedia. I'm afraid this will end badly, perhaps reflecting poorly on the subject, even hindering re-creation if the subject DOES one day acquire sufficient sources. At some point soon, this choice will be taken away from you as the page is again deleted (this time by another admin) and the page is protected from re-creation.

@CNMall41@BusterD thank you both for your time in reviewing my draft, I appreciate and understand the explanation re why the AfC draft was declined. Will be directing further questions in the Teahouse. Leed66 (talk) 14:30, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
