AfC notification: Draft:Abra Cadabra (rapper) has a new comment

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Abra Cadabra (rapper). Thanks! Nomadicghumakkad (talk) 01:32, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Abra Cadabra (rapper) (October 14)

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

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

I agree with Nomadicghumakkad's assessment of notability, but it is definitely written like it was by a fan or the artist's PR team.

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:Abra Cadabra (rapper) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Abra Cadabra (rapper), click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 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.

Zak Best moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Zak Best, is not suitable 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. ––FormalDude talk 01:48, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm very disappointed in you

I notice that FormalDude did you a favor by moving your Zak Best article into draft for you to develop. You, however, have no respect for Wikipedia so you just re-created the entity again in the main namespace. I did a search and found that there are sources about Zak but of course, that's too much work for you. You're a race fan and you just want to misuse Wikipedia for your fandom. The subject might be notable but your poor behavior tempts me to have the article and draft deleted and to seek to have you blocked from editing. Now, you can choose to do a better job writing the encyclopedia or perhaps you need to go back to Facebook. Chris Troutman (talk) 00:17, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's unnecessarily harsh, Chris. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:14, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

July 2022

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Zak Best. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. Liz ^{Read!
