Hi Asaf, Unfortunately, I don't have a save text of the article I wrote for Michael Aboya and no I wasn't paid to edit that article, I made a judgement of notability from what I saw about him online.
Also, I made sure everything I wrote was from a neutral point of view, I sent it to a few experienced editors in our community to check my text if I had missed something and from the response, I got it wasn't promotional. For Michael Aboya I found so many articles from secondary sources speaking about him but it still got deleted because to those editors he should have done something major. He won a global photography competition so I thought that is something noteworthy to write about. I would be glad to get a refresher on NPOV but a lot of the times it has more to do with Notability and how to determine it within the several contexts. Regards, Justice.
