Hello, I subbmited my Draft of a Wikipedia page of Edith Vernes, but got my submission rejected & deleted beacause of a lack of neutrality. I would like to have a copy of the deleted draft in order to re-write it and have it proof read before publishing it again. Could you provide me a copy to my user page ? Thank you in advance !

Hello, Cactus.man,

When you delete an article that is tagged for Proposed Deletion, please also delete the article talk page and any redirects there are, to the article and talk page. The recent article on Stadion Zürich left behind both the talk page and lots of broken redirects. If you use Twinkle to do your page deletions, it will take care of talk pages and redirects for you. Then, the only thing you need to check are redirects to the article talk page which Twinkle doesn't handle (for unknown reasons). Thank you. Liz ^{Read!
