ArchivesRe: I Submitted My Own Name and Frollein Gladys Deleted Everything
in reply to a message by Mike C
I know this post was made around 2 years ago, but I would still like to add onto it, as it was made fairly recent lol. I recently tried the same thing with my own name, Abagail, but was deleted instantly by the exact same person. My name is a variant of Abigail, but I still provided a summary of where it came from and what it's meaning is.
The original post for the name Abagail has little to no details or information at all. I was hoping to give an insightful description on it, since it's my own name. But apparently not, it gets taken down without a second thought. It seemed pretty strange and unfair in my perspective.
I'm not sure what I did wrong exactly, the references? Information? No clue, but I absolutley would've corrected it if it was wrong. If not? Then I don't know what happened.

I deleted your submission because it was a duplicate.

How exactly though? I'm trying to understand. Isn't that a feature for the website to add onto a name that already exists, hence why there is an "Add Anyway?" option?

That feature is intended for names which look the same but are of a completely different origin, etymology and usage. Compare for example https://www.behindthename.com/name/aya/submitted
Your submission on the other hand was a mere duplicate: the same name, the same spelling, the same meaning and etymology and the same usage.
These are the guidelines for submitted names, I think you might find reading them helpful: https://www.behindthename.com/submit/help.php
The formatting of your submission was problematic, too. May I suggest you take a look at some fully verified submissions to see what kind of information is usually considered helpful and what kind of information is just superfluous? Most of the information you added was already covered by the original entry.
And lastly, I see that you used the discussion tab (which is good), however, the fact that no-one responded straight away is no reason to submit a duplicate.
