Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Arshdeep Bains. 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 for registered users, 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. Liz Read!

 * @Liz This was caused by editing an article that showed up in mainspace that was moved to draftspace -- see Draft:Arshdeep Bains. I tried to grab some of the extra content (Career statistics) in the draftspace article by doing a copy-paste, but I wasn't able to format it correctly. Would there be a way to merge the draftspace article with the one in mainspace with that extra content? XyNq (talk) 02:11, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
