I hope you can see that you are getting even handed treatment there. Please do feel free to ask supplementary questions when there is something that you are unfamiliar with. Fiddle Faddle 17:25, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It looks to me as if you have an offer you should not refuse. An editor has expressed willingness to work with you to create a draft article. May I suggest you grab then=m by the hand and ask to be led by them?

I hope this current experience, however it works out, is giving you a far better impression of people here than you had before. Fiddle Faddle 18:36, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Fiddle, Faddle. I'm really grateful for your help and advice. I did post to the newly created draft, by DocTree (ʞlɐʇ·ʇuoɔ). There must be a trick to tagging... but I'm working on it! Thanks, again. Fglaysher (talk) 19:25, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

At least this way we will get to a state, unemotionally, where all concerned, you especially, determine whether there is sufficient impartial and substantial material about you that allows an article. Working together in this way, with you acting effectively as a consultant and providing as much information as is appropriate, you will have been part of the creation of the draft. We hope, then, that it is able to be promoted to be an article.

Even if it is not, yet, all will not be lost. That is a bridge we can cross when we come to it.

I hope enough material can be found. Our usual approach with drafts is to accept them when we feel they have a better than 60% chance of surviving a deletion discussion. We can make errors, either promoting too early, or waiting for more material to back the article up. I prefer the latter.

Oh, I noticed that you prefer to keep your birthday private. There is a challenge with articles here. If the date is in public view it is likely that someone will add it at some time. The subject of the article (including in its draft state) has absolutely no control over what goes in unless it is defamatory, when we have simple remedies to expunge the defamatory material, even from the history of the article. Facts like birth dates tend not to be viewed as such, I'm afraid. Fiddle Faddle 21:33, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, to all, I understand. I don't believe the exact day is online. I am highly aware of the value of that for identity thieves... Fglaysher (talk) 18:24, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
