I am the creator, and before the move to mainspace, I was the sole editor. Check the edit history So G6 is fair. Kailash29792 (talk) 12:19, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

G6 does not apply, read WP:RDRAFT. Sam Sailor 12:21, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

My bad. It's WP:G7 which says "For redirects created as a result of a page move, the mover must also have been the only substantive contributor to the pages before the move". May I go again? Kailash29792 (talk) 05:22, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

WP:RDRAFT is clear:

Redirects that are a result of page moves from the draft namespace to the main namespace should be retained.^{[note 1]}

I can understand if RDRAFT may have passed under the radar, but I don't think the wording of G7 somehow cancels out RDRAFT. Sam Sailor 17:31, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello! The A Grammar of Vai article had existed but was redirected to Vai language, which is why the existing book cover image was deleted. I restored it after citing some book reviews examining the book in detail. I don't know which book cover image it was, but Im hoping to have it restored.

Sorry for breaking the link on Luxgen U7. Cooldudeseven7 (Discuss over a cup of tea?) 15:32, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

​No worries, happens all the time with the several scripts we have that do not protect file names from being "corrected". In this case the file names on Commons are really unusual with those trailing spaces. Best, Sam Sailor 15:49, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Hello Sam,

I've just uploaded a draft for submission ( Nonso Okapla) but it's been flagged as advertising.

I would much appreciate any pointers on how to rewrite it to become encyclopedic. Thanks. Tobeaninyei (talk) 10:27, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

The best way would be to spend some months becoming acquainted with Wikipedia and the it's writing style. Draft:Nonso Okpala as it stands is unbearably promotional, and, not to much surprise, many sentences are copied directly from the sources. Sam Sailor 10:35, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
