Creation

 * Basic method:   David Example1
 * WP:Articles for Creation Method --  Draft:David Example 2 (formerly: User:DGG/New article 3 #
 * WP:Article Wizard #
 * # only acceptable methods with WP:Conflict of Interest

Review

 * Pages go to WP:New Page Patrol :
 * Special:New Pages Feed (expanded view) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:NewPagesFeed
 * Special:New Pages (condensed view) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:NewPages


 * Drafts go to Category:Submissions at WP:WikiProject Articles for creation
 * Results: Comment, Decline, Accept, change to redirect, merge,
 * In principle, Accepted drafts are supposed to go to new page patrol, but they do not.

Illegitimate creation

 * 1) undeclared COI  Terms of Use, particularly with respect to  paid contributions without disclosure
 * 2) coi editing in mainspace
 * 3) turning a redirect into an article
 * 4) copying a rejected draft into mainspace (sometimes this is beneficial if there's an incompetent review)
 * 5) adding coi and spam links to an accepted article
 * 6) trying repetition (especially with submitted drafts)

Structural problems

 * 1) inflexible templates, especially at Articles for Creation
 * 2) ineffective guidance from over-wordy templates that nobody reads
 * 3) poor guidance from templates that do not affect the specific problem
 * 4) inconsistent results at deletion processes
 * 5) no delay at speedy to permit fixing
 * 6) inadequate follow up methods

Poor Review

 * 1) Unqualified reviewers
 * 2) Idiosyncratic reviews
 * 3) disregarding major problems
 * 4) not communicating
 * 5) repeated unimproved submissions

New article workshop : Review Criteria

 * Checking speedy criteria: WP:Criteria for Speedy Deletion
 * usual problems: Copyvio, significance (not notability ), promotionalism, duplication,


 * Check if Prod or AfD needed
 * usual problems: notability, significance for products, books, etc.,


 * Consider merge, redirect
 * Tag for problems: usually, insufficient references, style issues, non-English (WP:Twinkle)
 * Assist editor beyond the templates.
 * Report editor? Username, Vandalism.


 * For Drafts, speedy does not apply to significance or mild promotionalism


 * only criterion for accepting a draft: is it likely to be accepted in WP? (i.e., will it pass speedy deletion, and then, if challenged, be likely to pass WP:AfD)
