What is the process for creating a new Wikipedia page?

Article creation is a structured sequence. First, the sourcing phase: we catalog the existing coverage, identify any gaps that need to be filled before submission, and assemble the source set the article will rely on. Second, drafting: the article is built in the user sandbox or through the Articles for Creation process, structured to Wikipedia’s encyclopedic conventions, sourced inline, and written in neutral encyclopedic voice. Third, submission: the draft goes through Articles for Creation with the COI relationship disclosed on the user page and the draft Talk page. Fourth, response to community review: an uninvolved reviewer evaluates the draft, often returning it with feedback that needs to be addressed substantively. Fifth, publication or AfD: if the reviewer accepts the draft, it moves to mainspace; if the article is later nominated for deletion, we engage that discussion through editors who can speak to the article’s compliance with notability and policy. Each step has its own timing and quality bar; trying to compress them produces predictable failures.
