The result was delete‎. There is a consensus that the article shouldn't be retained, but per policy, cannot redirect to the draft article. Therefore delete until the draft is 'ready' in which case it can be moved to mainspace. Daniel (talk) 09:59, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate of declined Draft:Leslie Joe so draftification isn't an option for this new article. There's no indication this businessman is notable. A redirect to Sunrise Soya Foods isn't ideal as it's not clear they meet N:CORP. Star Mississippi 23:23, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Draft:Leslie Joe. Duplicate article. Brachy08 _(Talk) 01:01, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect per nom to Draft:Leslie Joe. Duplicate article, and the subject seemingly fails to meet the WP:GNG anyway due to a lack of secondary coverage. User:Let'srun 02:20, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: it is not permissible to redirect mainspace titles to draftspace pages. BD2412 T 01:16, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@BD2412: what do you suggest? Some way to combine the two? Lightburst (talk) 15:48, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There appears to be nothing in the mainspace article that is not already in the draft, so there is nothing to combine. The duplicate content must be deleted. BD2412 T 17:15, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. Like BD2412, I could not understand how it is acceptable for this to be converted to a redirect to draftspace despite that is covered by speedy deletion criteria under R2. And I don't think the nom even suggested redirection of a mainspace article to a draft (Star Mississippi, correct me if I am misintrepreting you.) Thanks.
