Sani Mu'azu moved to draftspace
[edit]An article you recently created, Sani Mu'azu, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Draft:Sani Mu'azu concern
[edit]Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Sani Mu'azu, a page you created, has not been edited in 5 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.
If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.
You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.
If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.
Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:41, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

Hello, Bilijin. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Sani Mu'azu".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}
, {{db-draft}}
, or {{db-g13}}
code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! HasteurBot (talk) 22:00, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
Requests for uncreated articles
[edit]Greetings & a great weekend to you all. I believe it would be great if the (Requests for uncreated articles) section in our wiki project can be attended to & at least one article be created this weekend as some requests have been pending since 2016. I believe this would be pivotal to the encyclopedia as a whole & a means to get editors who have gone inactive to revive their Wikipedia activities. Sent by Celestina007. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 01:26, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
@Bilijin: Hi! While doing some edits on Nigeria-related articles, I stumbled upon AbdulRahman AbdulRasaq and wondered why its spelled like that when the original article and the person's official website is spelled as Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq. Hope you can give me an idea about this. Thanks! — Emperork (talk) 05:45, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
