Contested deletion

This article should not be speedy deleted as being recently created, having no relevant page history and duplicating an existing English Wikipedia topic, because... (your reason here) --Lefcentreright (talk) 13:49, 21 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I created the article and placed an "in use" template at the top of the article to help avoid edit conflicts. I intended to significantly grow the article to such a point by adding information and citing sources. I then got a message stating the article had become a draft. I continued editing the article until, eventually, I got a message saying that the article had been nominated for speedy deletion because there were two versions of the article (the "original" one and the second "draft" one). The two editors, who placed the separate messages, did not consult with me, leading to this unfortunate situation. The article should not be deleted since it is about a local politician. I do hope that the "draft" version of the article is removed and all the content has moved this article.
