The article July 2024 Midwest derecho has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

not ready for mainspace, pre-existing draft for this article exists but is unsuitable to merge into due to copyright and redundancy

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hello, Notaoffensivename. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Omar N. Bradley airport".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:40, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for your contributions to Stanley Kerr (athlete). Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 11:09, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

Hello, Notaoffensivename,

You do not have enough editing experience to be closing AFD deletion discussions. For example, in this case, you closed this discussion after only 5 days and AFD discussions are supposed to last at least 7 days unless conditions exist for a Speedy Keep which wasn't the case here. Please do not close any more AFD discussions until you are at least Extended Confirmed status. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:14, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

And I just came across Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/ISU Junior Grand Prix in Bulgaria, another AFD that you closed a day early. This was done before my message but just echoing my suggestion to not close any more deletion discussions until you have more experience, like being extended confirmed. You don't want a closure challenged at WP:DRV because then your editing history gets scrutinized which can be unpleasant. Happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:58, 2 July 2025 (UTC)
