Restored text
Hi, thanks for message. You can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~. I've restored the text at Draft:Bronze Cooley. I suggest that you take a copy as soon as possible, since it's only a matter of time before it gets deleted again in its present state. I've fixed the infobox, and remove the trademarked YouTube logo, and removed extraneous introductory material per MoS.

Note that you don't own the article even though it's about you, and anyone can edit it; in fact your conflict of interest should mean that you don't edit it at all. Note that if the article, or any similar vanity page you write about yourself gets deleted, I have no intention of restoring the text again if it's anything like the unreferenced trivia of your first attempt. You will have to go to Deletion review

On a completely different point, I see you are adding categories to articles, which is a good thing. However, it's best to use existing categories rather than make up your own, and you should note that categories are often plural, and follow normal capitalisation (Only first word capped unless there are proper nouns). I've replace cats Film with Films, Local Events with Festivals. You might want to find the HotCat gadget in your preferences to help with the process

 * I've made these edits to make the text a bit more presentable, see the article history for more detail. For there to be any chance of survival, you will need to find independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. YouTube is not acceptable as a reference or an external link. I notice that you have blanked the speedy deletion notice and my previous comments; it's your talk page, so you are allowed to do that, but it raises concerns that you're not here to build an encyclopedia. Admins and other editors can retrieve those pages from the page history, so you're not really hiding the content anyway Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  07:59, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

Update
I restored your page as a draft because you said ''I would like to improve upon it and make it follow the guidelines. Any suggestions to improve, please let me know.'' I gave detailed advice, which you have removed from this talk page, and you haven't made edits to the restored draft. Drafts aren't a place to keep unsatisfactory material indefinitely. If you have realised it's not salvageable, please mark as, otherwise I'll eventually remove it myself. If you are leaving it as a substitute for a proper article, note that search engines won't find the draft, so only you and me are likely to have seen it. Let me know how you wish to proceed Jimfbleak - talk to me?  06:15, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
