The '''Articles for Creation''' ('''AfC''') process is intended to assist editors who cannot (e.g. [[BP:REGISTER|non-registered]] or [[BP:AUTOCONFIRM|non-autoconfirmed]] users) or should not (e.g. people with a [[Bharatpedia:conflict of interest|conflict of interest]]), create new articles directly into [[BP:MAINSPACE|mainspace]]. AfC creates new pages as [[BP:Drafts|drafts]] which are then submitted for review.

Writing an encyclopedic article from scratch isn't easy, and we recommend that you first get some experience by adding material to articles that already exist or helping out with [[Bharatpedia:Task Center|other tasks]]. You should read the page [[Help:Your first article]] to avoid classic mistakes and save your hard work from being deleted.

* Make sure that the topic is [[BP:Notability|notable]] enough for an article.  Is it already covered in an existing article?  If not, there is a very good chance that the topic is not notable and will never be accepted as an article.  If yes, have you improved that coverage?  Improving existing content is a much more successful way of contributing to Bharatpedia.

* Articles should reflect only what [[BP:RS|reliable sources]] have said about the topic, and all articles need [[Help:Introduction to referencing with Wiki Markup/1|references]] to reliable sources.

Old drafts, drafts that have been unedited for more than six months, are routinely deleted (see [[BP:CSD#G13]]). Once deleted, they can be recovered at [[BP:REFUND/G13]]. A bot reports pages eligible for deletion daily [[Bharatpedia:Database reports/Stale drafts]]. These can be reviewed and nominated for deletion or improved for mainspace.

Some old drafts have been identified as "promising", but without any active editor actually committing to working on them.  See [[:Category:Promising draft articles]].  Consider browsing these drafts for topics that you would like to improve and move to mainspace.  If you disagree with the tag, discuss its removal with the editor who placed it. Another [[:Category:AfC postponed G13]] contains articles that someone deemed as having too much potential to allow G13 deletion. These can often be improved for mainspace.
