Your draft
Before moving your draft into the main encyclopedia, please read Help:About, Help:My first article, and the pages they link to, particularly WP:Notability.

MOST theologians do not meet the "notability" requirements to have an article about them. If an article about a non-notable person is created, it will likely be deleted. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  00:10, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

Stephen Fichter moved to draftspace
It appears that you may have a conflict of interest with the subject of Stephen Fichter, and as such you should submit this article to be published through the Articles for Creation process. Before editing the article further, please first disclose on your user page and on the article's Talk page whether you have received money to write this or other articles on Wikipedia, or if you have any other kind of conflict of interest concerning the subject. I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. Before submitting, you should make sure that the article is fully compliant with Wikipedia’s neutrality and verifiability policies, as well as our notability guidelines. When you’re ready, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. This process is encouraged, but optional. If you choose not to participate in it, you can remove the AfC template and move the article back to mainspace. You should also consider reaching out to the Teahouse for additional feedback and aid from experienced editors. signed,Rosguill talk 22:51, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

COI
Your User page would be another place to declare your COI. David notMD (talk) 21:53, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello Frank S. Weaver. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Frank S. Weaver. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. --Blablubbs&#124;talk 22:03, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

Response to Blablubbs
I am not being paid at all for my work on this project. This is my first time doing this and so perhaps some of my novice mistakes caused you to get that mistaken impression. I hope this statement clarifies this. Thanks!

Your draft article, Draft:Stephen Fichter


Hello, Frank S. Weaver. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Stephen Fichter".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 22:13, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
