Starting a new article as a Draft using the article creation wizard is a good way to prepare an article and get it up to an acceptable quality before moving it to main space. This process also gives you the advantage of having an editor review before it is accepted which helps to iron out the sort of problems that you are now facing. If you want to pursue this avenue, you can blank the current article (take a copy onto your PC first if that is helpful) and ask that it be speedily deleted. Then recreate the article using the wizard (link above). If you allow the article to be deleted at AfD will make it much more difficult to get a good article established.

Ok can you please delete the current page and I will use the wizard?

Have done. It may take a few hours to disappear completely, then you can start again. Regards Velella ^{Velella Talk} 21:54, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much Velella, you have been very helpful.

The article has now been deleted so that you may recreate a draft using article wizard. Regards Velella ^{Velella Talk} 08:30, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That was a Draft not an article that I suggested! It will just get deleted again. What you want is Draft:Gary Nuell. Sigh Velella ^{Velella Talk} 22:20, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

OK. It is now at Draft:Gary Nuell created using the article Wizard. I have to agree with those editors marking it for deletion - it just isn't at all notable at present and you will have to work very hard to make it stick, especially with two deletions on the record already. Best of luck. Velella ^{Velella Talk} 21:52, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, on second thoughts that is not appropriate. My in-box will get all the messages telling me why the Draft has not been accepted etc. etc. I will now blank the draft and request its deletion. However, it is not rocket science going through the article wizard; and how you ended up with an article in main space I will never know. Sorry, but you are on your own now.

Hi there Velella, thank you for helping me try to get this correct. I was unclear on the instructions when using the wizard. How do I do a draft, is there a link somewhere for this? Please let me know how to proceed. Thanks

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 removed without delay.
