This page was deleted because I used copyrighted text. Now I have permission to use the copyrighted text (see below). When I draft the new page, how do I indicate that I have permission to use copyrighted text?

is it possible to change the title of this page to more simply "Michael Cole (writer)" ?

Scole88 (talk) 16:56, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

✅
 * Scole88, it appears you have already made a new page under that name as Draft:Michael Cole (writer). MatthewVanitas (talk) 17:45, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

I want to open a page for Michael Cole (writer), currently awaiting approval. He is mentioned and praised for his work in numerous pages on wikipedia, can I begin to edit these pages to link his name to the page I am starting or do I have to wait for approval first ? thanks

 * Wait until your draft is accepted, then you can add internal links. Also, I'd add more reliable sources. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 20:42, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Subject fails our criteria for musicians. You must provide independent reliable sources. Avoid using sources from Aligarh Muslim University since he works there.

22:14:43, 18 January 2015 not a review request -- is there a help desk?
I am not requesting a re-review; this page is titled and linked "Help Desk," not "request a re-review."

That said, not to violate the "re-review" space, is there an Articles for Creation help desk somewhere? MicroPaLeo (talk) 22:14, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Hi MicroPaLeo, yes this is the AFC help desk, how can we help you? Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 22:21, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
 * You could not force me to post a request for a review, for starters.
 * Well, this is a “help desk” for WikiProject Articles for creation, and article submission is kinda what this part of Wikipedia is. But you’re right—these things are written under the assumption that every question will be a request for review, which seems a bit off to me as well. —174.141.182.82 (talk) 06:32, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
 * This article is a hoax of some sort, and it should just be deleted. I found it on a project page, someone asking whether it is for real or not. So, how do I request deletion instead of anyone wasting more time reviewing or re-reviewing? Or does it stay forever on Wikipedia? MicroPaLeo (talk) 22:23, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
 * See Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Mesophelles and feel free to participate in the process there. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 08:53, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
