Hello, Dannysullivan12417, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Speedy deletion nomination of Dannysullivan12417/Saratoga Battlefield

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice that Dannysullivan12417/Saratoga Battlefield, a page that you created, has been tagged for deletion. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It appears to be a test page. (See section G2 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.
It is a recently created redirect from an implausible typo or misnomer. (See section R3 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Saratoga battlefield moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Saratoga battlefield, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hello, Dannysullivan12417,

If you move your student draft to the main space or to project space (Wikipedia), it will be tagged for deletion. It is inadequate, it has no sources and is obviously not ready to be published in main space. We have been moving it to Draft space where you can continue to improve it but if you persist, I think the next editor or administrator who reviews the page will just have it deleted. Please work on these incomplete efforts in User space (like your Sandbox) or Draft space. It is not necessary for you to put your page into main space to get a grade in your class and if the page is deleted, your efforts will be wasted. Please do not ignore other editors who are trying to help you keep your page from being deleted.

If you have questions, please bring them to your instructor or the Teahouse. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 14:17, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note that Wikipedia already has a fairly lengthy Battles of Saratoga article. Your draft appears to duplicate what's there. In addition, of course, your draft lacks inline references and isn't written in a style that's appropriate for an encyclopaedia article. If you want to continue to work on this topic, I recommend that you read the existing article carefully and try to identify anything that's lacking from it. Then find reliable sources and work on filling any gaps. But please make sure to maintain the style and tone of the existing article if you find anything to add - it's already a Good Article, so it's very important that the style and quality to maintained.

I do think it would be better for you to work on another topic, even at this stage. It will be difficult to find anything to add to the existing article, since it is already quite well developed. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:38, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Concern regarding Draft:Saratoga battlefield

Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.
