Hello, CaseArmitage,
Deletion discussions require a thorough knowledge of Wikipedia policies and guidelines and a great deal of editing experience. You do not have that yet. Please stay clear of AFDs until you have been editing consistently for a few weeks or few months. It's not a friendly environment for new editors to learn about working on Wikipedia. Thank you.

- Thank you Liz, I appreciate your directness. I realize in retrospect my eagerness outpaced my experience. I will leverage the references you kindly provided in my editing and avoid the AFDs for the time being. CaseArmitage ( talk) 03:04, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
