Hello, StephRJ. Your question has been answered at the Teahouse Q&A board. Feel free to reply there!
Please note that all old questions are archived after 2-3 days of inactivity. Message added by Yunshui ^雲_水 09:16, 12 June 2017 (UTC). (You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{teahouse talkback}} template).[reply]

Just as a note, Wikipedia doesn't generally include external links (such as Investopedia) within the body of an article. Rather than creating external links as you did here and here, you should format your source as a citation. For a simple explanation, see this essay; for a more complicated one, see Help:Cite.

Hello, StephRJ. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Charleine Wain".

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 edit the submission 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.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Sam Sailor 23:02, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
