Request on 02:54:17, 2 February 2023 for assistance on AfC submission by Sutakku 1
I made a draft for an article titled 'Sutakku', I admit its about me (I'm a musician who's released an album physically including on vinyl and have 30,000 streams on spotify) but all the information I put in it is relevant to the headings in question, all of it is accurate with references. For example when I talk about when I was played on a radio I give the exact quotes the radio host said in regards to the song and I attached the original live radio recording as a reference. When I talk about the competition I won I attached a reference including the guardian article covering it. I gave a reference with the facebook link to a page discussing indie music which showed pictures of my album as vinyl copies in a record store. I don't talk about myself arrogantly or anything I tried to remain as neutral and factual as possible; occasionally I said things like 'his music is arguably outsider music' and justified why. Is there anything you can do to help? Thanks :) Sutakku 1 (talk) 02:54, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello, . Your draft completely fails to make the case that you meet the notability standards described at WP:MUSICBIO, and you are therefore not eligible for an encyclopedia article. Your references are exceptionally poor. Vast swathes of your draft are unreferenced, and I suggest that you focus on trying to make some hit music instead of trying to write a Wikipedia biography. Frankly, you are wasting your time at this point in your career. Cullen328 (talk) 03:05, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
 * @Sutakku 1 That was a bit harsh, but accurate.  You shouldn't expect to use Wikipedia to help bring more listeners to your music.  Once you have enough independent publications writing about you and your music, an article will be warranted. David10244 (talk) 13:28, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Yeah that's fair enough I apologise. I think the draft has been deleted, I don't know if you're the right person to ask about this but is there a way I can recover it? Not to resubmit it or anything just for personal use Sutakku 1 (talk) 13:35, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
 * @Sutakku 1 You can ask at Refund. David10244 (talk) 10:09, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

 * We prefer the term "article", not "page" to refer to the content of the encyclopedia. It may not sound like it but there is a distinction there.
 * I think "great great grandson" is sufficiently distant to not be a COI, unless there is some additional factor involved like(for example) you having written books about him, or run a museum about him, or something besides just being related to him. 331dot (talk) 09:32, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

Q: Why was Draft:Bob Whitcomb Racing initially declined? As one example reason, there is a specific request to split Bob Whitcomb Racing off from its predecessor DiGard Motorsports. It also meets WP: Notability because of its notability of being the team that won the 1990 Daytona 500. What do other editors see on the sourcing, references, material and/or contents which I might not be seeing? 08:19, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
 * In my opinion, the references now in the draft support the notability of Derrike Cope far more than "Bob Whitcomb Racing". Perhaps the best outcome would be a redirect from Bob Whitcomb Racing to Derrike Cope. Cullen328 (talk) 08:48, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

 * You don't ask a question, but your draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. 331dot (talk) 16:43, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

I have a question, since this draft was rejected, what do I do with it? I've already merged some of it into the appropriate article, should I delete it?

 * You don't need to do anything, as drafts are deleted after six months of inactivity, but you can mark it for an author request speedy deletion with . 331dot (talk) 00:19, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
