 | An editor has marked this as a promising draft and requests that, should it go unedited for six months, G13 deletion be postponed, either by making a dummy/minor edit to the page, or by improving and submitting it for review. Last edited by Explicit (talk | contribs) 3 months ago. (Update) |  |
This template should be placed on drafts by editors other than the original draft creator to indicate that the draft has promise and is worthy of more significant review and discussion prior to deletion in order to avoid losing valuable encyclopedia content. This includes drafts whose title is the target of a significant number of red links already in main article space.
Usage
{{Promising draft}}
{{Promising draft|reason=your reason here}}
Parameters
|reason=– add "because ..." phrase to the message text, with the value of the param replacing the ellipsis (the word "because" is already included in the template).
Examples
{{Promising draft|reason=dozens of red links point to this title}}:
| An editor has marked this as a promising draft because dozens of red links point to this title, and requests that, should it go unedited for six months, G13 deletion be postponed, either by making a dummy/minor edit to the page, or by improving and submitting it for review.
