Comment: Two copies of this page have been created, in draft space and in article space. It is not necessary to create two copies of the same page, and it annoys the reviewers. This is sometimes done in order to bypass Articles for Creation review. However, if a submitter is ready to have the article in article space, it can be moved into article space, rather than creating a copy. It is common for a page that has been duplicated in draft space and in article space to be nominated for deletion or proposed for deletion.If the article is kept, this draft should be redirected to the article. If the article is deleted, this draft may be kept for future improvement. Robert McClenon (talk) 08:56, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
