WP:FAKEARTICLE. Check Amanda Mike-Ebeye which was speedy-deleted. Magioladitis (talk) 12:10, 11 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep and Move article about a real person to a workspace at User:Ebeyeamanda/sandbox/Amanda Ebeye. As her last edit was less than a week before nomination, I do not see the draft as being a STALE DRAFT, and as the edits ARE recent, I do not see it as a "indefinite hosting" of something that "looks" like an article. Heck... userspace drafts almost ALL look like articles until they get moved to mainspace to sink or swim, and it is sensible to allow editors time to work on them.  After the deletion noted above, User:Skomorokh tagged it as a short term userspace draft, stated in his summary that he advised the author to write her article in userspace as a draft, and requested that patrolling editors consult with him before deleting. She apparently did as advised, and in her next edit to the draft unfortunately removed Skomorokh's draft tag,  in her newcomer's misunderstanding of how such drafts should be tagged.  She has been given a WP:COI caution inre writing about oneself, but the Nigerian actress/subject of the article does exist, is written of in independent sources, and has participated in the films listed in the article.  So not a "Fake Article"... just a draft that belongs in a user subpage workspace. In looking at the available (unused) sources, there may well be an article possible on this actress, and such an article could help in addressing the lack of coverage for Nigerian actors, but whether or not the subject will be found notable enough for a Wikipedia article is an argument for a future AFD. THAT being said, I have just re-tagged the page as a userspace draft... A far simpler solution than making this contributor thhink her work is not welcome.  The guideline for such drafts states "Short term hosting of potentially valid articles and other reasonable content under development or in active use is usually acceptable" (my emphasis).  This short term usage applies in this case and the author and project will benefit from her being given guidence.   Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 05:12, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Move to mainspace. Amanda Mike-Ebeye was deleted per WP:CSD#A7, but I think this page beats A7 and with the existing sources could easily be turned into a small article.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:21, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
