Please destroy, eradicate my entire page. The protagonist wants someone else to write and submit it. Thank you, Gretchen. Wp apa1 (talk) 04:25, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please delete my entire page and profile and entry. The protagonist wants someone else to start over with this. Wp apa1 (talk) 04:26, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Gretchen. The fastest way to get a sandbox deleted is to request it yourself. You do this by placing {{db-u1}} at the top of the page. It will then be deleted automatically within a few hours. I hope this response has been helpful. NewYorkActuary (talk) 04:42, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

{{SAFESUBST:Void|

I am confused as to why my page was declined and would like to check that after modification by asking the bern expo team whether or not it is currently acceptable for neutral point of view. I do realize that after talking to them, they had made me bias. So I would like your guidiance as to how I can return to a neutral point and not have it read like an ad. This page was derived mostly from the Deustch version of WikipediaJosVan (talk) 08:38, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hey JosVan. Looking at the draft, a lot of the sources don't seem to meet Wikipedia's standards for reliable sources.
  • Two of them are links to the German Wikipedia.
  • This is really not much more than a phone book listing.
  • Yelp is not really any more reliable than someone's Facebook page.
  • This is really just a map of Bern.
Two more sources are links to the official website, and although this is fine for citing basic information, doesn't really count toward meeting notability guidelines because anyone can pretty much make their own website for any reason.
So what you really need is the addition of quality in-depth sources. Usually one of the best places to go for this is a news search like this one. Hope this helps. TimothyJosephWood 13:39, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
