Christine Beeton moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Christine Beeton, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. ( ?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed ( verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

About the AfD for Barou

Hi, I just wanted to leave you a quick note with regards to the deletion discussion for Jean-Pierre Barou. Seeing that you're new to Wikipedia, let me say that I didn't nominate the page for deletion because I wanted to disparage your work on the article. The article is much better already than most WP:Stubs. I've merely had (and still have) doubts that the subject really qualifies for inclusion in Wikipedia in accordance with our guidelines. These discussions are there to determine what the consensus among editors is, which is why everybody, including you, is welcome to weigh in as long as they base their views on the guidelines. Regardless of how the discussion ends, your work is very much welcome on Wikipedia and I'm happy to answer any questions you may have about this or any other topic. Best, Modussiccandi ( talk) 10:49, 20 October 2020 (UTC) reply

Hi, Modussiccandi. Thanks for this! I know it isn't malicious or anything, don't worry :) Its perfectly fair for people to weigh in on things like this, and it makes the articles better in the long run anyway. Cheers, Brxdxe ( talk) 10:55, 20 October 2020 (UTC) reply
