Copy-and-paste move
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Draft:Gazi Kodzo a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into User:Michelle Colton/sandbox. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Requests for history merge. Thank you.

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Gazi Kodzo, from its old location at User:Michelle Colton/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. Nathan2055talk - contribs 20:25, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Gazi Kodzo (December 8)
 Your recent article submission has been rejected. If you have further questions, you can ask at the [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/Help_desk&action=edit&section=new&nosummary=1&preload=Template:AfC_decline/HD_preload&preloadparams%5B%5D=Draft:Gazi_Kodzo Articles for creation help desk] or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reasons left by Kohlrabi Pickle were: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. This submission is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: I don't believe that the subject has any hope of passing the notability criteria. Every source I can find that mentions him, in this draft and outside, is unreliable, and give the impression that he courts attention through extreme and unverified claims. I also have a strong impression that this draft submission is aimed at self-promotion rather than educating readers.
