== 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

Hey Jim, you deleted my page ]. Which was a history writeup for the company Echo Calls. I followed all the same steps as the history writeup on "]" wiki page which is also a duck call company. So how is my post promotional and there's is not? Isn't that a little double standard? In no way did I ever mention anybody needed to go buy products from Echo Calls.

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 .

Hello Jim. I am a relatively new user. I have been trying to submit a page for Sterling Payment Technologies. I recently submitted a draft, which was denied for submission and then deleted by you sometime today. It was flagged for G11 and G12. I wanted to discuss this further to get to the bottom of why you flagged it for those reasons and what I can do to get this page accepted. I appreciate any and all help you can offer. Thank you.

::{{U|Nicobryan}} I am the user who tagged it as such because it was not only blatant advertising but it was also literal word-for-word advertising from the company's own website, that is not tolerated and any attempts shall have deletion and, with persistence, locking. Even if they were not copypasted contents, they would not be acceptable because (hence what I said earlier) it would still be advertising and it would not matter even if you are the website's owner. As with any Draft and article, it's best to only start with the best basics which is in-depth third-party news sources overall, but not press releases, news about funding, financing and partnerships, trivial passing mentions, interviews or other triviality about the company itself. Note also this user has literally submitted the same G12 contents at 2 different places, see talk page. ] ] 04:49, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

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. DeEsCeHa (talk) 02:32, 8 January 2025 (UTC)DeEsCeHa‬

Looking at the user's talk page, it seems that you also unintentionally deleted Aminullah Khan as "making way for a move" even though that page was not a redirect and the page to be moved, Draft:Aminullah Khan, was a redirect. As WP:G6 notes, "An administrator who deletes a page that is blocking a move should ensure that the move is completed after deleting it." The person who nominated it really wanted to delete Draft:Aminullah Khan and move the article there (though that would be move warring despite a WP:DRAFTOBJECT).
