Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Draft:Jacob Strandell a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Jacob Strandell. 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, 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.

Deletion discussion about Jacob Strandell
Hello, Chimneydebeauvoir,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Jacob Strandell should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Articles for deletion/Jacob Strandell.

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks,
