Starting a new page when I already have one waiting approval

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I have written one draft page which is awaiting approval and is still in my sandbox. I want to start another new page on a different person. How can I do it without writing over the existing page?

Wikipedia pages are named based on the URL. At the moment User:BMacmillan/sandbox is just a redirect, so you could edit that page directly if you wanted, but you could also create User:BMacmillan/sandbox2 or User:BMacmillan/Name of person. As a third option, you could use the Article Wizard to create a page directly in the Draft space (doing this will also automatically add the "submit your draft" templates). If you want more help, change the {{help me-helped}} back into a {{help me}}, stop by the Teahouse, Wikipedia's live help channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance.

(edit conflict) The draft has since been moved to Draft:Marc Di Saverio, leaving your sandbox to redirect to the draft. I'll remove the redirect so you can re-use your sandbox (while the Di Saverio draft will remain unaffected, awaiting a review under its current title). Huon (talk) 21:07, 5 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Where's my user page? I've been on for 6 days and have created and frequently edited two pages.

I started my new Wikipedia account five days ago. In that time I have submitted two pages for approval - and done numerous edits on each. One has been redirected (I'm not sure what that means) and the other is in my sandbox#2. The latter is not publicly accessible. The redirect was for a while after I completed it, but isn't any more either, for whatever reason.

When I log in, it tells me my user page does not yet exist. It's been six days now and probably at least 2 dozen edits cumulatively over the 2 pages. I have met both thresholds as far as I can see. What is the problem?

Your submission at Articles for creation: Marc Di Saverio (March 10)

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

You need to establish notability by adding references that show there is widespread coverage of him in reliable sources.

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Marc Di Saverio and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission 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.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Legacypac (talk) 12:02, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
