Draft:Doug Collins (cyclist)
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Your sandbox draft has been moved to a new location at Draft:Doug Collins (cyclist) which is the preferred location for articles for consideration. Thank you for declaring a connection with the subject. As aprt of the AfC process I have cleaned up and copy-edited the item more in line with Wikipedia's guidelines.

Collins seems to have had a fairly succesful career; please review WP:NCYCLING and indicate at the draft talk page which of the criteria can be met. It is possible, though, that he can be shown to be notable outside of these guidelines. Thank you. Eagleash (talk) 23:24, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

Additionally a ref name (ref name 3) has been used to refer to both an isuue of Cycling Weekly and also to a book Cycling's Circus. As this has been used in several instances it has produced error messages. It would need to be renamed in at least one instance and the name (or names) used to support the correct statements in the content. Thank you. Eagleash (talk) 23:43, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
