Ronan Donovan moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Ronan Donovan, is not suitable as written to remain published. It appears there is a WP:UPE or WP:COI conflict. 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, and have addressed the UPE/COI issue, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. As per WP policy, please do not move into mainspace yourself.  Onel 5969  TT me 15:13, 12 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi Onel5969, I am reviewing your message and the flags that you placed on the entry for Ronan Donovan that I created. Can you expound on the COI/UPE issues you are citing as being problematic? I have no incentive for producing this article. I learned of Ronan's work through my own work in the fields of ecology/environmentalism and felt it substantial enough to warrant a Wikipedia entry. If there is something specific within the article that you feel inappropriate, please let me know what that is so I can review and make any needed changes.
