The Origins Of Basketball

Your User name[edit]

Your Sandbox text suggests that Simple Sports is the name of a business. If so, you cannot have that as your User name. Given how little you have done so far, I suggest you delete the draft in your Sandbox, abandon this account, and register a new account with a different name. Whatever you create should not promote your business. David notMD (talk) 01:20, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Change of draft name[edit]

How do I change my Draft name from Basketball to The Origins Of Basketball without deleting my account?

Done see Draft:Origins of Basketball. This moving an article name is an ability that you acquire automatically after a certain number of edits/elapsed time. Now the name is clear I have resubmitted the draft for you Fiddle Faddle 14:28, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am concerned about wording like "Here at Simple Sports we...." and I do wonder if you are creating promotional material. It is very important that you do not do this.

If you choose to abandon th9s account, good advice from David, above, the draft is still accessible to you Fiddle Faddle 14:34, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Origins of Basketball[edit]

Hello, Simple sports. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Origins of Basketball".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! UnitedStatesian (talk) 03:07, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
