It is usually better to expand an existing topic until it's ready to become a spinout page, than to create a dubious stub. Data clearly shows pages created by new users get deleted at a much higher rate than pages created by users with as few as 10 edits over 4 days. Don't set new users up for disappointment as their new page gets speedy tagged or sent to <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:AfD" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:AfD">WP:AfD</a>.</li></ul> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:New_user_article_status_pie_chart_14_June_2017.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a6/New_user_article_status_pie_chart_14_June_2017.png/400px-New_user_article_status_pie_chart_14_June_2017.png" decoding="async" width="400" height="213" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a6/New_user_article_status_pie_chart_14_June_2017.png/600px-New_user_article_status_pie_chart_14_June_2017.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a6/New_user_article_status_pie_chart_14_June_2017.png 2x" data-file-width="697" data-file-height="371"/></a><figcaption>New User deletions</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Autoconfirmed_article_status_pie_chart_14_June_2017.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/50/Autoconfirmed_article_status_pie_chart_14_June_2017.png/400px-Autoconfirmed_article_status_pie_chart_14_June_2017.png" decoding="async" width="400" height="206" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/50/Autoconfirmed_article_status_pie_chart_14_June_2017.png/600px-Autoconfirmed_article_status_pie_chart_14_June_2017.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/50/Autoconfirmed_article_status_pie_chart_14_June_2017.png 2x" data-file-width="719" data-file-height="371"/></a><figcaption>Autoconfirmed User deletions</figcaption></figure> <ul><li>Experienced editors are comfortable editing with the classic wikitext interface, but that user interface can be challenging for new editors.
