- I submitted an article for submission two weeks ago, Aug. 27. Although I received confirmation that it was submitted and could take three or more weeks for approval/posting, I now see that it states it was not submitted and that I can submit the draft any time. How can I confirm and check status?

As long as there's a yellow "review waiting" message, the draft is correctly submitted for review. The "not currently submitted" message at the top is a relic that should have been removed by a bot; I'll remove it in a moment. Huon (talk) 20:07, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

After looking at your draft I have to say it will not be accepted in its current state. It cites no reliable sources that are independent of the subjects. Facebook is not reliable because it's user-submitted content without any editorial oversight, and interviews are the authors speaking about themselves - that's not really independent. What we'd need are newspaper articles about them or published reviews of their works that discuss them in some detail. See also WP:BIO for our notability guideline for biographies.

A tag has been placed on Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Gary Williams and Vicky Knerly (novelists), requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
• It is a rejected submission at Wikipedia:Articles for creation, and it has not been edited in over a year. (See section G13 of the criteria 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 "Click here to 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 removed 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. DGG ( talk ) 00:42, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
