Hi!

This is my first time creating an article for Wikipedia and it has been rejected. I would really appreciate some help from anyone who might be able to offer their support or advice. I would like to know whether I should attempt to rewrite the article and resubmit or whether there are a few minor changes I could make that would make it more likely to be published.

Thanks so much in advance, your help is much appreciated.

Hello, I have a question on how to reference or cite websites that list the subject of my article? for example some of the following award and medals were not submitted, and Zaman Sardar Bahadur Khan is my grandfather and behalf of this relationship, is there a way to request a fresh editor's review of the details? and if not, that's ok. This editor appears to want to really follow protocol, which I am satisfied with. I just know that "Royal Victoria Medal" and others news source listed are considered reliable, and hope full for the opportunity to get my first article published. Thanks for letting me know

@AAJ KHAN:, you don't create any draft; Order of British India is already an article and it is out of scope of this help desk. You can go to place such as Wikipedia:Help desk to ask. Matthew_hk t c 20:43, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Enuis (talk) 19:05, 18 February 2018 (UTC) hi I'm Enuis I just wanted to know why my article was deleted. It was about a village in Estonia? Kind regards Enuis[reply]

@Enuis: You have also asked this question at the Teahouse where you have been told that creating hoax articles is not acceptable behaviour. If you can prove that a place called "Guild Ford" exists in Estonia, that's what you must do. And please only ask one question in one place - it wastes a lot of people's time otherwise.

Enuis - At a guess, wasting peoples' time is the point here. KJP1 (talk) 07:39, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Mariusvirgildobrin. Your draft is an entirely unreferenced biography of a living person. Policy requires that such articles be referenced, so your draft cannot possibly be accepted at this time. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 07:34, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
