A subpage under my user page is under speedy deletion.
One of my user subpages is being marked for deletion, and it took a lot of work to write it. There is personally no rule violation on there as well. Sorry, I read on Wikipedia very frequently, but seldomly edit. I created a page a few months ago with sources (and that was my only yet) and that got removed due to reliable source of publicity rules. Need help here.

 * It looks like it's already been deleted. But you should be able save the content by contacting the deleting admin who appears to be User talk:JBW.  A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 11:21, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
 * The now-deleted page is a long, rambling narrative written in the first person (I, we, etc.) with absolutely no useful text that could possible be beneficial to the mission of Wikipedia. It certainly doesn't qualify for WP:REFUND or anything like that.  JBW will not likely undelete it, and really no one should.  -- Jayron 32 12:21, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I saw it before it was deleted. Seems like it could have been kept as a subpage, like an essay. Though it seemed more appropriate to be kept on the OP's private computer. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 13:33, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Well I kept a separate version on Google Docs, I guess that is fine. I explained my reason at User talk:Trakaplex/Project_Kelton why I had it on Wikipedia as a fixing of "trial and error". I presumed that editors would aid the improvement of the factual details. Trakaplex (talk) 13:51, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Some might have been willing to if it had the potential to become a Wikipedia article (or essay), but from the descriptions above and the posts on your Talk page it doesn't sound as if that was the case. We're all volunteers and can choose what we do and don't want to do on Wikipedia, but we are broadly focussed on "building an encyclopaedia." You could use the Reference desks to ask specific factual questions that may relate to your piece, but for general collaboration on a non-encyclopaedic project (with which I wish you luck) you need to look elsewhere.
 * Have you been referred to WP:What Wikipedia is not? If you haven't, it might be useful to you to read it. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 90.199.210.77 (talk) 13:10, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
