| == Deleted page - Frank Golding (author) == | |||
| Hi there, | |||
| You recently deleted a draft biography page I created for an author, Frank Golding, on the grounds that the sources were largely from the subject himself. I tried to include a substantial amount of source from reputable newspapers and archives, but I would be happy to return to the draft and add more if it could be restored. Finally, if there is any wikipedia guidance on striking a balance for sources for memoirists that would be helpful - the details of the subject's biography are of course sometimes unavoidably best drawn from his own published work because memoir is about the self. Many thanks for your consideration. ] (]) 02:32, 8 January 2025 (UTC)DeEsCeHa | |||

| Hi, don’t understand how the ”Desembra” page was deleted by you when all information is factual, correct and all of notability. If you look at the Misplaced Pages pages of artists with incredibly big notoriety like ”The Weeknd” and ”Swedish House Mafia” you’ll already see how he is mentioned on Misplaced Pages by these names and many more. I represent Desembra as business manager and would love to see what can be done for real information to be allowed on the platform. All information is sourced correctly too, I think you might have been a bit too quick too judge because the account had the same name. | |||

| :::] I may be missing something here. I think {{u|Explicit}} as a redirect to a deleted or non-existent page.

| Hi Jim, | |||
| Got your message, thanks. First article attempt got deleted. Probably quite common. Still sad. | |||
| As you rightly mentioned, conflict of interest (COI) is the problem. Is there a workaround? Do I get someone else to write about me or are there more ways to just about keep article neutral enough for publication? Can I trouble you to have a look whether if it's worth my time requesting for a retrieval of the deleted content for another try? Thanks. | |||

Hi Jimfbleak. Hope 2025 has ricked off just right for you. I came across a reference to burnt in the Portuguese translation of the article, and I see that you introduced that element here. Could you please clarify, so I can adjust the Portuguese to read better? Thanks. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 13:13, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
