the answer to why the issue had not come up before is simply that the previous reviewers either did not check or did not notice i actually did not delete the draft i'm not an administrator and cannot do so what i did do is notice the copyright violation and flag the text for an administrator to review your draft was largely copied from his official company biography at you cannot reuse text from elsewhere on wikipedia it is a copyright violation and would be illegal for us to host it articles must be based on and referenced to what has been written about the subject in reliable independent sources not copied from elsewhere with sources thrown in to show notability if you wish you can ask the administrator who deleted it for a copy of the draft in order to retrieve the sources and you are perfectly welcome to submit a new draft that consists of material you wrote
