Hello, TMEcurator!
Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the
Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the
Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there!

Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created
Draft:The Mandela Effect, and I noticed that your username, "TMEcurator", may not comply with our
username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, service, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually (not your role), such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".
Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, service, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. Alternatively, you can just create a new account and use that for editing. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you.

"The treatment of anything related to the Mandela Effect on this site is quite odd."and
"[...] this topic is not banned but it is clearly being minimized."
"dismissive of the topic and basically told me that no matter what was changed in this draft, it was staying where it was, as a tiny subsection in another topic.",
"nothing I have said or would say could convince you otherwise. You do not believe this topic worthy of its own page, and you have the power to make sure it stays that way.",
"Mandela Effect is forever mandated to be a few sentences on some other page", etc.
"While it may be possible that the subject could be worthy of a standalone article at some point in the future [...]". I reiterated again and again that I think the topic could become its own article if specific issues were addressed and the page becomes a better alternative to the Mandela effect subsection of False memory. I went into detail explaining what I thought the areas for improvement were (which, again, were the sourcing and the framing; the Mandela effect subsection of False memory has more sources than the draft and is better written with clearer language). In order for the page to be split off from the article where it's currently being covered, it will simply need to be a better version of it.
