Permission Question

Hi! I have a question about permissions. Recently, I had a page deleted because it use too much similar lingo from the subjects own website. I can get permission from the subject to use any text I want from his site for his wiki page, but I had to start a new draft of the article since the old one was deleted and it is not a live article yet. In the permissions letter it specifically asks for the Exact URL of the page or file on Wikipedia they are giving permission for, but how can I do that if it is not live yet? I am including Wiki's specific letter lingo below for reference, thank you!


"I hereby affirm that I, [I, (name), am], the creator and/or sole owner of the exclusive copyright of [URLs of the content] as used here: [Exact URL of the page or file on Wikipedia], and have legal authority in my capacity to release the copyright of that work."

Drafts are still "live" by that definition - the URL on Wikipedia is /info/en/?search=Draft:Chris_Jonas. I suspect, however, that that form is talking about the URL on the site Wikipedia copied from, not the URL on Wikipedia. * Pppery * it has begun... 14:35, 29 May 2023 (UTC) reply
Thank you so much for you time and the helpful advice. I think I have narrowed it all down to not need any permissions at this point anyway. Just waiting for the green light. Pinkcell23 ( talk) 15:02, 29 May 2023 (UTC) reply
