Your contributed article, Business and Pay Equivalence


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Business and Pay Equivalence. 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 – Gender pay gap. 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 Gender pay gap – you might like to discuss new information 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 removed 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 deleting administrator, 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. RickinBaltimore (talk) 18:34, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

Responding to email
I read your email, and I understand how this is a concern. Is this a project that you are doing with your school or class? If so check out the WP:SUP page. You may have a better time by creating this article in your Sandbox, rather than in the main-space of Wikipedia. Since there is an extensive article on the Gender pay gap, the article you created duplicates a lot of the information there. Creating this in your user space would help from deletion of the article.
