Draft:Goodfellow Bros.

Hi Jim, I wanted to thank you for your help on the page I'm trying to get published on Wikipedia. I wondered if you could take a look at it again and let me know if you think it's ready to submit or if there are other things that need to be done. I'm really trying to learn.

It had been a while, so - without you pinging me - I didn't notice that you had been asking for additional review. I've responded here: Draft talk:Goodfellow Bros.#Also, this topic was rejected as not being Wikipedia worthy. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 17:18, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you had to say...

out of 10, how many drafts are submitted (all of them), reviewed (all of them), and approved (idk)? TheNonEditor (talk) 01:22, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think anyone knows. I see a fair number of drafts, most of the ones I see have been declined at least once already. Some contributors improve their declined drafts to the point they are eventually accepted, others end by giving up in frustration. What's the breakdown? My guess is that a once-declined draft will go on to be accepted less than 50% of the time, but that's just a guess. And, no, it's not what you asked. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 03:35, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
