Should user essays first be vetted before making them Wikipedia essays?

Can I just move my User:Nederlandse Leeuw/Emptying categories out of process to Wikipedia:Emptying categories out of process? Or should some editors first vet it and perhaps change or remove some stuff before it is ready as a Wikipedia essay? The only difference I see at Wikipedia:Essays#Types of essays is that Wikipedia essays and user essays are categorised differently, and that as long as I keep it as a user essay, I can revert any changes made by other editors. I would like to allow others to make improvements to it, and have it become a bit more mainstream (though not yet a formal guideline).

The essay currently does contain some anonymised comments from various editors and admins that are used as examples to illustrate various scenarios. They are not intended as WP:PAs, but their usernames are traceable. I would like to be sure that I don't bring anyone (including myself) into trouble if I make it a Wikipedia essay by including those anonymised case studies. NLeeuw (talk) 10:09, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
