Cobra Pumps (David Mead album) moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Cobra Pumps (David Mead album), is not suitable 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 " " 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.

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Cobra Pumps (David Mead album). This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Requests for history merge. Thank you. Liz Read!

 * Hello, Addred85,
 * It would have been better for you to work on the draft version of this article and then move it back to main space rather than cut & pasting content from that article into a new article. Now we have two separate articles on the same subject with different page histories. Please do not do this in the future. If you disagree with a move to Draft space, you can move it back. It usually meant as a way to protect an underdeveloped article from being tagged for speedy deletion which happens less frequently in Draft space. But if you disagree, you can move it back yourself. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 02:43, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

 * You can delete the article page for "Dudes" if you want. I've moved the relevant information to the main page for David Mead, as I did a few months ago with the relevant information for "Cobra Pumps," the follow-up to "Dudes." Addred85 (talk) 18:13, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
