Hello, Rickvlack, I'm Bearcat. Please note that pages in draft space, such as Draft:Leslie Siu are not allowed to be categorized alongside finished articles in mainspace, per WP:DRAFTNOCAT. The page must stay out of any categories so long as it is outside mainspace, and this is not an optional rule that you're free to disregard or ignore.

You can provisionally list categories in your draft without affecting content categories by using one of the methods described here.

As the page has had to be pulled out of categories twice in ten hours, do not readd it to categories again, because draft and sandbox pages are not allowed to be in content categories. Note as well that there can be consequences for disruption if it doesn't stop, such as page protection or deletion and/or the temporary or permanent suspension of your editing privileges.

Also, pages cannot be in redlinked categories that do not exist, per WP:REDNOT. Category:Canadian marketing executives and Category:Cannabis industry entrepreneurs are not categories that we have, so they aren't categories that you can use even provisionally, precisely because they do not exist.

Do not reenable categories on the page while it's in draft, because drafts aren't allowed to be categorized as if they were already finished articles. Thanks. Bearcat (talk) 13:26, 30 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for flagging this and for the explanation. Apologies for the repeat, I hadn't come across WP:DRAFTNOCAT before and didn't realize categories worked differently in draft space. Won't happen again. Rickvlack (talk) 13:51, 30 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Feedback

The reviewer, Pythoncoder, left the following feedback:

This draft appears to be generated by a large language model (such as ChatGPT). You cannot use LLMs to generate article content.

LLM-generated pages with certain obvious signs of being machine generated may be deleted without notice.

These tools are prone to specific issues that violate our policies:

• hallucinations: they often invent false information and cite non-existent references.
• unencyclopedic tone: they tend to be vague, promotional, or essay-like, rather than neutral and factual.
• copyright issues: they may closely paraphrase existing text, leading to copyright violations.

Instead, only summarize in your own words a range of independent, reliable, published sources that discuss the subject.

See the advice page on large language models for more information.

Feedback

The reviewer, Bonadea, left the following feedback:

This draft's references do not show that the person meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for people. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that:

• provide significant coverage: discuss the person in detail, not brief mentions or interviews lacking independent analysis;
• are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
• are independent: not connected to the person, such as interviews, press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content.

Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.
