Your contributed article, The Gradient is the Steepest Direction


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, The Gradient is the Steepest Direction. 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 – Gradient descent. 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 Gradient descent. 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. Schazjmd  (talk)  18:01, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

Your sandbox
Hi, I've created your sandbox for you, with the content you're working on copied into it: User:JeffAEdmonds/Sandbox. Just click that link and you can continue your work. The Publish changes button at the bottom of your sandbox page will save any changes you make. (The button makes it sound like it's going to publish it as an article, but it doesn't...it just saves it where you are.) I hope that helps. Schazjmd  (talk)  18:51, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
