Again, this is a case of WP:TOOSOON. Just resubmitting it isn't going to change that.

• • Frankly, I don't think you know what you're talking about. You also should have allowed someone else to review it rather than just turning it down again. The topic is obviously notable enough for a Wikipedia article. Sorry to say, you're simply wrong and you're citation of WP:Too Soon is not even remotely on point. (Nor is it true that a list cannot only contain one item.) If you're going to decline an article, please use logical reasoning. There is no possible rational argument that WP:TooSoon applies here.

Please do not attack other editors. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Galobtter (talk) 07:53, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Good. He should be deterred from continuing to do a shitty job. He had no right to tell me my article failed WP: What Wikipedia is not, which was obviously false. (Note that he knew his claim was bullshit, since he failed to answer which item on WP: What Wikipedia is not actually applied, and so was just being a jerk. He fails WP: Competence is required.

You just resubmitted without changing anything or acknowledging his feedback. We don't have time to waste to explain things again and again. There's no need for a list as there is only one person. Also the draft is quite WP:COATRACK. Reads more like criticism of the pardon of joe arpaio. Galobtter (talk) 08:04, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"feedback"? you thought there was feedback? where?Infamia (talk) 08:09, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Why can't I just create my own article without submitting a draft to a reviewer who fails WP: Competence is required? I don't have time to deal with incompetent reviewers who clearly don't know how to read and who cite irrelevant policies. Infamia (talk) 08:10, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think you might be confused somewhere. If you look at the edit history of the article you're trying to modify (Pardon of Joe Arpaio), all that happened was that someone created this page with a redirect to Joe Arpaio#Trump Presidential pardon. This particular article has not been deleted or created before in the past. Are you sure that you're referencing the proper page? What are you trying to do exactly? ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 08:34, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
