Stale draft
[edit]Hello, XRozuRozu, I saw that you made a draft for a new article at User:XRozuRozu/Limbus Company. Short term hosting of potentially valid articles and other reasonable content under development or in active use is usually acceptable. But in this case, you haven't edited your draft for a long time. If you wish to improve the draft yourself, please do. Otherwise, you may consider donating it to WikiProject Abandoned Drafts (a participant can help). Thank you. Legend of 14 (talk) 22:49, 30 May 2025 (UTC)
