Your contributed article, Consumer Boycott


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Consumer Boycott. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Boycott. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Boycott. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. –Ammarpad (talk) 06:59, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi! I saw that this was deleted. I think that a good alternative would be to ask and see if he would be willing to restore the content to your sandbox and if he does, to see what can be merged into the main article for boycotting. It looks like there's a section that does discuss consumer boycotts in specific at Boycott, so I think that your best scenario here at this point in time would be to work on a subsection that specifically looks at consumer boycotts and ideally clean up the section's organization since it's a bit muddled and it's hard to tell what types of boycotts it's discussing in total - I can see the content about consumer boycotts and there's a mention of academic boycotts, but it's all a bit muddled. I think that you could organize this relatively easily (I'm willing to help as needed) or at the very least, that separating the consumer boycott information into a section under application and uses will help with clarity.

 * Hello, I've gone and moved it to User:Devinasen/sandbox2 because you'd already put something back in your original sandbox. I agree with Shalor (Wiki Ed)'s suggestion. I'd also say that finding earlier examples would be a good idea; see the Wikipedia essay about recentism. Graham 87 01:00, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
