Request on 01:02:00, 5 June 2015 for assistance on AfC submission by Mojohi10
We are trying to develop a Wikipedia page for Dr Shane Moran. I am unsure as to why the page is repeatedly denied. Dr Shane Moran is a prominent figure in Sydney, Australia, particularly in business circles. He is the head of multiple philanthropic and arts societies. Could you please provide some relevant and specific advice on improving the page to get it up onto Wikipedia.

 * @Mojohi10 - The problem fundamentally stems from your purpose; if you were here "trying to write a Wikipedia article about Dr Shane Moran" you might find it a much easier experience. The sources you have cited are mostly about various organisations and projects, but to sustain a biography of a living person the sources must actually be about the person, not merely mention him as "an involved person" in the actual topic of the source material.
 * By the way, your use of "we" is a problem, Wikipedia editor accounts may never be shared by multiple people, each individual contributor must edit under a separate identity - "Mojohi10" must be the username of only one person, not a group. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 15:51, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

What is the problem in submitting the article because it is the informative article about the product and I have written in that way.

 * We don't judge articles on how informative they are, we judge them based on whether they meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. In your case, you would need to demonstrate that your company meets the standards of WP:CORP. --Ahecht ([[User_talk:Ahecht|'''TALK

It looks like your question was answered at User_talk:FoCuSandLeArN. Is there something else we can help you with? --Ahecht (TALK PAGE ) 22:42, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

Hello,

This draft was created by moving it from my sandbox. I have just noticed that the history of edits of my sandbox was moved too. However, I have used my sandbox to create and experiment with other drafts before this one. So, the history shows edits that are completely unrelated to the present draft, which might seem strange. I wonder if there is some way to fix that issue, for example, delete some part of the edit history, or some other alternative.

Thanks!

 * Old edits can be deleted from the history, but this is typically only done when legal or privacy issues crop up (see WP:REVDEL). What would be more appropriate in this case would be a history split, but while that technically can be done, it is a tedious process and normally isn't undertaken unless there is a very good reason. --Ahecht ([[User_talk:Ahecht|'''TALK


 * Thank you for your reply. If fixing the edit history is not easy, then never mind, it is not a big issue anyway. dCutler 01:01, 6 June 2015 (UTC)


 * If you plan on creating a number of new articles you can avoid this issue in future by creating a separate new sandbox for each article you draft, or even simpler by creating it directly in Draft space, e.g. Draft:New article title. You do that by first creating a link somewhere in your user space then click on it to start the page. (Take a look at my sandbox where I have listed links to the drafts I am working on.)

 * Thank you, I will do that. DCutler 11:24, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
