Hi Whistle toe llll, if you tell us what was deleted perhaps we can help you. None of your own edits have been deleted. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 11:26, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

My draft named soil and the type of soil the are — Preceding unsigned comment added by Whistle toe llll (talk • contribs) 11:42, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

Whistle toe llll, it's not deleted, it's at Draft:Soil and the types of soil the are. However we already have an article about Soil and several articles about different soil types and other soil-related topics too. Your efforts here will be better spent if you rather improved those existing articles, because we never allow multiple articles about the exact same topic.

  • No draft specified!

No idea what the rejection relates to. VivNic (talk) 17:20, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

It relates to your unreferenced draft article User:VivNic/sandbox. Theroadislong (talk) 19:51, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

to whom this may concern:

i am inquiring about my page not being accepted, due to "not enough references" (if my memory serves me). I can/will provide more references on said page and will hope/trust that'll be enough to get it published. that said...

i created the page in question on behalf of my employer, Ronald Winston, who happens to be the son of Harry_Winston of Harry Winston, Inc.. For reasons unbeknownst to both Ronald and myself, his previously published page was recently removed.
Might you know why?

And given that the very same information I recently entered and attempted to get approved was already/once published, it seemed strange to us that we got the feedback we received - i.e. not enough references - as Ronald is referenced in two other pages currently in Wikipedia: Harry_Winston and Harry Winston, Inc.... which I'd like to believe would grant Mr. Winston (Ronald) a certain credence?

many thanks, in advance, for your help in both re-publishing Ronald Winston's page and/or getting to the bottom of why Mr. Winston's page was recently removed.

Sincerely,

- Michael (RWinston (talk) 22:36, 29 October 2017 (UTC))

@RWinston: Ronald H. Winston was deleted for being exclusively and unambiguously promotional, for having been created by a banned user in violation of their ban, and for having been created in violation of the Wikimedia Terms of Use, which usually means created by a paid editor without complying with the mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You write that you're editing on behalf of your employer. That is a conflict of interest. I've left related instructions on your talk page. --Worldbruce (talk) 23:34, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
