- Hello, I am new to Wikipedia editing. I recently interviewed Mr. Zellgert last year in December at his house. Besides my interview notes, I have pulled all of the sources I could find regarding him including his website, his listings on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Goodreads, Google Books, etc, and any other source I could find. I do not understand why the page I created is being marked for deletion? Could somebody explain this to me? This would be much appreciated. ~Draftabillman — Preceding unsigned comment added by Draftabillman (talk • contribs) 05:53, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
- Hello again. I realize now that I cannot write about local celebrities on Wikipedia and I am going to request closing the article. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. ~Draftabillman — Preceding unsigned comment added by Draftabillman (talk • contribs) 06:29, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Draftabillman You are perfectly entitled to write about local celebrities provided they pass our notability criteria FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 20:15, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

- Draftify: The creating editor has made a good first attempt, but needs guidance. I believe they, and thus Wikipedia, will benefit if this article is moved to Draft space where they can work on the very obvious shortfalls at leisure, submit it for review, and engage in the iterative process of learning whether and in what form Zellgert can have an article. In this I have not considered whether he passes WP:NAUTHOR FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 20:14, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

- Delete "having a good start" isn't justification for keeping unencyclopedic articles on Wikipedia in any form. They simply aren't notable and this appears to be an attempt at (self?) promotion and is unlikely to become an article in the future barring some sort of explosive coverage.

- Draftify as it is a good start for the article. Whilst in draft form the author might ask for help at one of the Science Fiction related WikiProjects. Gusfriend (talk) 08:06, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
