help me write article
hi there jellyfish, you nominated my article (Sid Sadique) for speedy deletion the other day.
was wondering if you could help me rewrite it as I do believe it would be a beneficial article to include on Wikipedia.
I'm confused as to what I'm doing wrong as I wrote in a neutral stance, I even took inspiration from other featured articles.
as you can see from my edit history I have edited articles in the past
Hi,
User:2433n, unfortunately, I haven't had the time to create any new articles myself. I can only offer about as much help as
Help:Your first article can. Also, please pardon my WP:XYZ links to some policies, in a bit of a rush on my phone.
First and foremost, make sure the subject meets the general notability guidelines/
WP:GNG, and has received significant coverage/WP:SIGCOV in independent, reliable, and secondary sources/
WP:RS. Your article in particular (Sid Sadique) if I remember was entirely unreferenced, failed to indicate notability/
WP:N, and had a generally promotional feel to it when reading/
WP:PROMO. Also, if my memory serves me right, the article was just kind of a raw dump of numbered bullet points & text that you said just needed some cleanup. Honestly, if an article needs cleanup to that degree (entirely reformatting it), you should first create it as a draft/
WP:DRAFT or at least create a version of the article in your sandbox/
User:2433n/sandbox. You can click the red link to create it (apologies if you're already aware of how red links and policy work, but those policies are usually always the reason I'll nominate for speedy deletion).
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by
visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with
Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
