Stephen Maddock moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Stephen Maddock, is not suitable as written to remain published. Aside from not being notable, it appears there is a WP:UPE or WP:COI conflict. 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, and have addressed the UPE/COI issue, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. As per WP policy, please do not move into mainspace yourself.  Onel 5969  TT me 21:24, 29 April 2023 (UTC)


 * I have updated this article with several more references - the only things now that are not referenced are from the 1980s and 90s which are nowhere on the internet.
 * I have also included a couple more facts to add to the notability.
 * In terms of notability: Wikipedia carries pages of almost all the other principals of UK conservatoires (e.g. Jonathan Freeman-Atwood; Colin Lawson; Jonathan Vaughan; Linda Merrick); Royal Birmingham Conservatoire is part of this elite group. My predecessor there, Julian Lloyd Webber, has a Wikipedia page. As do other UK orchestra Chief Executives (e.g. Kathryn McDowell) Stephenmaddock (talk) 14:01, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi @Stephenmaddock. I have just declined your draft again. I will note two things:
 * 1): It's very a good idea to try and write an article about yourself, see WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY.
 * 2): See WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS; Wikipedia has unfortunately tens of thousands of articles that are poor quality, and just because they exist doesn't mean we should be adding to them with more poor quality articles.
 * To improve your draft, please see WP:NPEOPLE.  Qcne  (talk)  17:23, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
