Draft:Bill Shanley


These are two almost identical copies of this autobiography. The sandbox copy is being tendentiously resubmitted without responding to the need for footnotes. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:55, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete Users should not publish their autobiographies here. &#8213; Susmuffin Talk 04:10, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete As per above. 7_qz (ゆっくりしていってね!) 15:40, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep both. The topic is plausibly notable. Autobiographies are not forbidden, and certainly not from userspace or draftspace. There is no case for deleting the draftspace page. There are insufficient communication attempts with the author to justify deleing their sandbox.  The resubmissions are associated with some edits, which is in keeping with the templates advice. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 09:52, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
 * The problem here is that they keep resubmitting it to be an article. 7_qz (ゆっくりしていってね!) 15:48, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
 * (1) Resubmissions without an attempt to improve are a reason for deletion. I see attempts to improve.
 * (2) Decline reasons include “For articles about living people the references must be inline 17:41, 24 December 2018 (UTC)”.  I understand that this is not true, or have the rules changed?  I will not approve deletion of a draft for communication failures where the reviewers make false statements.  These reviewers need to reread WP:BLP, and when demanding inline citations point out what information is “challenged or likely to be challenged” (these words bold in the policy).  —SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:14, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
