ArchivesRe: I Submitted My Own Name and Frollein Gladys Deleted Everything
in reply to a message by Frollein Gladys
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.
