Deleting a Draft Post: A Twisted Path To Renown

Hello, Stephen!

My name is Andrey Sklyarov. I am an author of the draft topic "A Twisted Path To Renown", deleted by you yesterday, 11.14.2023.

It seems like py post violated some of the Wiki rules and I'm sorry for that. I didn't do that intentionally, as I am a newbie and did that for the first time.

I am a Community manager of a small game development studio that is working on a new game which is called "A Twisted Path To Renown" and I wanted to create a Wiki page for it.

My thought were to create a page and later add some pieces of information to that. Now I know it doesn't work that way.

I will write down all the information in a complete article, will save it and then will try create the Wiki page for our game again. This page will be for the players, that need more information about the game, as it is quite complicated for non-experience user.

All I wanted is to notify you, I didn't violate the rules intentionally, and wanted to know if me (my account) and this topic are now compromised and if I can have an opportunity to create a page again.

Thank you very much and have a nice day!

Cheers!

I have reviewed the deleted page again, and I am not convinced it is a suitable article for Wikipedia. For one thing, Wikipedia is not a guide (see WP:NOTGUIDE; there are many more suitable places you could put the information, such as creating a Discord forum. Even if you were to not write the article as a guide, and keep it in a neutral tone so it doesn't read like an advert, this game is unlikely to meet the notability requirements (see WP:NOTE).

If you still believe that the article should exist, you can appeal my decision at Deletion Review. Stephen! ^Coming... 08:07, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
