Yael Eisenstat

Hi Dan, I was recently looking over the page you created, Yael Eisenstat. Its notability is a little shaky and it reads as partly self-promotional. What caught my attention, though, what that you added the page was created more-or-less fully-formed, without any previous sandbox edit, and that this is your first article that you've written which wasn't a redirect. That's highly unusual and is common among editors who have a conflict of interest or are being compensated for their contributions. So I wanted to ask you: did you write the article? Or are you potentially posting it on someone else's behalf? Did someone help you with it? The Pony Toast 🍞 (Talk) 17:10, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:46, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Yael Eisenstat

Hello, Sgt. Dan Smythe. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Yael Eisenstat".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! UnitedStatesian (talk) 19:49, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
