biography editing issues and subject deletion
Recently I did a full page deletion and re editing on the biography of Hilario Camino Moncado. To the best of my abilities, I strived to make it as unbiased and neutral as possible, focusing solely on what facts on hand I was able to compile. Unlike many personalities however, my subject has very little printed about him and the reference list supplied at the bottom of the article reflected it.

Much to my suprise, I checked back later only to find the article had been deleted. The previous contributor supplied only 2 sources, one of which being a church article. I on the other hand supplied 4 and my work was nevertheless deleted.

I am hoping that this can be rectified and my article can be reprinted14:19, 13 May 2021 (UTC)14:19, 13 May 2021 (UTC)14:19, 13 May 2021 (UTC)14:19, 13 May 2021 (UTC)Demented historian (talk) 14:19, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

 * I see you're the one who reverted the edit in question at Hilario Moncado. Do you have any advice for Demented historian on how to bring their content more in line with Wikipedia editorial guidelines? (Also @Demented historian, you only need to hit the ~ four times, not 24!) -- Tamzin (she/they, no pref.) &#124; o toki tawa mi. 16:37, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
 * My advice is to add sources. See WP:V and WP:REFB for information on our verifiability requirements and tips on how to add references. Primefac (talk) 17:21, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for responding, Primefac. @Demented historian, given that it's such a big rewrite, you might want to create User:Demented historian/sandbox or User:Demented historian/Hilario Moncado and work on it there. (Just, if you copy anything from the current version of the article, make sure to say "copied from Hilario Moncado" in your edit summary when you do so.) If you have questions on how to comply with the things Primefac linked—I'd also recommend taking a look at WP:NPOV—feel free to reach out to me at my talk page. If you can get it in line with our policies on verifiability and neutral point of view, I'd be happy to give it a copy-edit when you're done, just since Wikipedia's house style isn't always intuitive to new users. -- Tamzin (she/they, no pref.) &#124; o toki tawa mi. 17:28, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
