List of rifle cartridges
Hello, my name is. I have removed your addition to list of rifle cartridges as it is not linked to a page, all of the other entries in that list are linked to an independent article, I ask that you do not continue to reintroduce this entry until you have created an article.

Additionally, I have had a look at your Draft:.408 Borders Magnum, I am not a new page reviewer but it is my opinion that at this stage it does not meet Wikipedia’s general notability guidelines, specifically there are not any reliable sources about the cartridge cited in the article and my very quick look for sources did not reveal anything at all. I suggest you introduce some sources to the draft before submitting it to articles for creation. Kind regards, Cavalryman (talk) 03:51, 19 May 2020 (UTC).


 * I am the creator of this wildcat cartridge. I put the information that I have gathered from my testing. There are no supporting articles because I have not made any. I am the only one who has access to the information of the cartridge. As for the unlinked name in “list of rifle cartridges”, I created the draft to be a link to the listing of .408 Borders Magnum.

 * It sounds interesting work, I have served in the Australian Army and have some interest in potential long range sniper cartridges, I have shot both .338 Lapua and .50 cal sniper rifles.
 * Unfortunately Wikipedia’s policies prohibit original research being used in the creation of articles or article content; and so until something has been published in multiple reputable publications I doubt the draft article will meet the above notability guidelines, and additionally will not be able to be linked on the list.
