  • Speedy Redirect As a draft duplicating an existing article. 192.76.8.80 ( talk) 14:19, 14 December 2021 (UTC) reply
    Your phrasing is misleading. When the draft was being worked on, the article did not exist. “Duplicating” implies an order of creation. The draft was pre-empting a later-to-be-created very similar article. — SmokeyJoe ( talk) 21:50, 19 December 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Speedy Redirect per 192. NemesisAT often in these cases it's better to just redirect the draft yourself when you see this sort of thing. It's only in the unusual case where a redirect is challenged that an mfd is necessary, in which case we can admittedly dispense with it quickly per WP:SRE.

  • History merge: The similarities between the draft and the first version of Alewya are too great to assume that Alewya was created independently, and it’s creation looks like an attribution failure. History merging fixes this problem. SmokeyJoe ( talk) 21:47, 19 December 2021 (UTC) reply
    I'd like to ping @ Mooonswimmer: here due to their work on the mainspace article. Chess ( talk) (please use {{ reply to|Chess}} on reply) 04:28, 25 December 2021 (UTC) reply
  • @ Chess: Attribution failure on my part, as SmokeyJoe suggested. My apologies, didn't quite know how to proceed. I definitely did use a few finetuned phrases from the draft. Not a copy paste job though. History merge sounds fair. Mooonswimmer 09:44, 25 December 2021 (UTC) reply
