Roy Wales moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Roy Wales, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Contested deletion
This page should not be speedily deleted because... I am trying to create a page that will record the important first premieres of some very significant pieces of classical music, partly to correct some inaccuracies that currently exist. I am trying to create the page for Roy Wales that will cover these premieres, I am trying to respond to the feedback from Wikipedia editors as this is the first time I have created a page. The last editor said I had to provide references for the Early Career information, but now that I've done that, I have been tagged for speedy deletion. If it's better to just leave out all the early career information, I can delete that section. Thank you - Simon Wales
 * The deletion tag is for your user page which has inappropriate external links on it. Theroadislong (talk) 12:42, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
