Question from MountainHobo (01:53, 31 March 2025)

Hey I was wondering if it possible that if I find a subject without a page on it can I take the liberty and create a quality page? --MountainHobo (talk) 01:53, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@MountainHobo, if the subject is notable enough, then you can create an article. Be sure to read the introduction, and use the Article wizard to help you create an article. ToadetteEdit (talk) 08:20, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

You do know you can RFD req drafts? this? Cactus🌵 ^spiky ^ouch 12:03, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion Cactus🌵 ^spiky ^ouch 12:07, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Cactusisme, the reason why I am nominating at AfD is that it is an article, and AfD has more participants than MfD which is for user pages and other pages which do not fit the other XfDs. I do remember someone saying that an AfD is better for a draft that was declined multiple times at AfC, but that was a year ago, and I could not remember that page. Also noting that the page was at mainspace before being turned into a draft. ToadetteEdit (talk) 12:11, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, sorry Cactus🌵 ^spiky ^ouch 12:14, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

ToadetteEdit, it is unacceptable to move a page just so it can be subject to a deletion discussion. If a draft is resubmitted after rejection, you should nominate it at MFD. If not, leave it be. Articles in draft space do no harm. Best regards, House Blaster (talk • he/they) 20:45, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies for the late reply, but I will not do so again. I do remember one who moved an article to draftspace and MfD'd it. What I did yesterday was just a bad idea caused by my bad judgment and decision-making. But currently, there is no way to replace the AfD with the MfD.

Question from Engage5w (14:55, 7 April 2025)

My goal is to create a Wiki page for my client. How many edits do I have to make before I can create a page? --Engage5w (talk) 14:55, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Engage5w, there is no minimum edit requirement to create an article. But you must be autoconfirmed (have an account that is four days old and has ten edits) to directly create articles in the mainspace. The Article wizard is always open for new users who want to create articles. But users with a conflict of interest are advised to use the AfC process (I.e. article wizard), and it becomes apparent that you have a conflict of interest in "the client" that you are referring to in your comment.

Pending AfC submission

Hello ToadetteEdit, You marked the above submission as "review in progress" 7 days ago. I just thought I would let you know. CF-501 Falcon (talk · contribs) 17:25, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I've accepted this draft. Normally I would wait until the G6 speedy request is acknowledged, but I must have forgot this. Thanks for the heads up though. ToadetteEdit (talk) 17:29, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, I just saw the draft lingering in the category. Thank you! CF-501 Falcon (talk · contribs) 17:46, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
