16:45:06, 2 December 2016 review of submission by Larry Gnome[edit]
- Larry Gnome (talk · contribs)
I'm new to Wikipedia and am hoping to replace a redirect page with a page containing content. I'm unclear as to the status of my page. The tan box at the bottom of my page does not indicate that my page was accepted or declined but I did find the following statement attached to a link to my page in the sandbox.
"From a page move: This is a redirect from a page that has been moved (renamed). This page was kept as a redirect to avoid breaking links, both internal and external, that may have been made to the old page name."
Does this mean that my page was rejected?

- Hello, Larry. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. Your submission has not yet been reviewed and so, no, it has not been rejected. The message in your sandbox is simply a notice that the material that had once been there is now residing in a different place (i.e., Draft:Crater Renaissance Academy). Because no article on Wikipedia had ever been linking to your sandbox (or, at least, none should have been linking there), the message has served its purpose of notifying you of the changed location. Feel free to delete it and replace it with other content. NewYorkActuary (talk) 18:31, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

Please let me know what I should fix in order to have Hannah Bayer's wikipedia page accepted. She does match the criteria to have a wikipedia page.

- She may meet the required criteria, but the article needs to demonstrate that by references to reliable independent published sources. All 14 sources currently cited are to works attributed to the subject herself. Also, the opening section needs to make it clear what she is notable for. At present it refers to "end-to-end solutions", which sounds like a parody of marketing-speak. Maproom (talk) 20:29, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
