Articles for creation

As a new editor, you might take advantage of the mentoring that occurs in the WP:Articles for creation (AfC) process. Basically, you create a new article in the drafts article space or your own draft userspace, adding the template Draft article, {{Draft article}}, at the top of the draft. In that new article it would be necessary to cite independent reliable sources that provide verification of the information about the topic and that provide verification of the notability of the topic. It is also valuable in an article to state in the lead section exactly why the topic is important. As the guideline says, the lead should define the topic, establish context, explain why the topic is notable, and summarize the most important points, including any prominent controversies. When you have finished the new article it is time to submit it for review at Articles for Creation (AfC). Submit the article by adding the code {{subst:submit}} to the top of the article page. This will place the article in the current month's category of AfC submissions. For example, articles submitted this month are listed at Category:AfC submissions by date/September 2015. After submission it will then take a couple of weeks for reviewers to process the page ensuring that it complies with Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines. The reason for this "Articles for creation" process is to avoid some of the pitfalls that resulted in your former article being deleted. Reviewers can help you determine if a topic is viable (for example meets notability and encyclopedic requirements), and for viable topics if the reviewers do find problems, you can correct them in advance. I hope this helps. Good luck. --Bejnar (talk) 18:10, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
