Draft: Tomos Roberts

Hi Curbon7 ... I was advised that it would likely take three months for my submission to be reviewed. It was reviewed in ~2 hours. I've been working on it for nearly six months and I've hewed very closely to Wikipedia's standards. There are, no doubt, improvements to be made, but I would respectfully ask the following:
1- How thoroughly was my page reviewed in about a 2-hour timeframe? There's approx. 20 pages of information (printed) as per my submission. This is curious.
2- I would kindly appreciate examples of your various critiques - and, to be sure, I welcome these opportunities to improve. But, in providing me firm examples, I could properly and effectively address the issues (and in a timely fashion).
Again, I ask these questions with respect.
Thank you (and Happy New Year!),
Ryan (Ryancoke2020 (talk) 03:12, 31 December 2020 (UTC))

Ryancoke2020, Firstly to clear up with you some info of the AfC process. It can take up to 3 months for your draft to be reviewed. However, that doesn't mean it WILL take 3 months. We have over 3,000 drafts waiting for review, and we get around (I'm estimating) 500 new drafts a day. There aren't very many of us reviewers; we're just volunteers, we have lives too. Because of that, drafts are reviewed in a quick, but efficient and accurate manner. The reason I got to yours so quickly is because I patrol the newest created drafts; essentially, I act as a filter, either accepting the drafts are clearly notably and encyclopedic or declining the drafts that are otherwise.

In all honesty, it took me about a minute of review to decide that I would decline your draft, as there are obvious and glaring issues with it. First and foremost, you have way way way too many sources. Because of this, I can't actually validate which sources are relevant or not because, like I said before, we have a lot of other drafts to get to as well. You should read WP:CITEOVERKILL for that point.

Secondly, your draft is non-neutral in tone, and frankly read like a bit of an advertisement for the subject. Phrases like "With an enchanted resonance" and "Tomos' mission from the outset has been to present a message of hope, optimism and socially constructive and progressive ideas through his words." serve to WP:PUFF the subject. See WP:NPOV.

Thirdly, this didn't play a role in the draft's declination but since we're here I might as well bring it up, your draft is formatted very incorrectly. Use the articles of other similar subjects, such as Neal Stephenson or Edward Neumeier, as examples of how to properly format this kind of draft. Curbon7 (talk) 03:51, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Curbon7 - Thank you, kindly, for the response. I will concede the fact re: the non-neutral language in some places (I will tidy this up), but I did make an effort to play it down the middle, so to speak. Regardless, I will edit accordingly.

That said, I'm having trouble squaring the need for an encyclopedic approach, but simultaneously, not wanting a very well-sourced page. I'd posit that, if the sourcing is relevant, it's, ipso facto, germane. So, say I slash the number of sources, what's preventing the next reviewer from stating that additional citations are needed? It seems arbitrary or capricious, and a potential no-win situation (for me). Ultimately, I will heed your advice, but I believe it important to properly voice my concerns. I trust you can appreciate this. Ryan (Ryancoke2020 (talk) 04:28, 31 December 2020 (UTC))

Ryancoke2020, Good sourcing is needed. However, having every statement cited by 8 different references is unnecessary and overkill. Use other pages as examples of a baseline you should aim for. Curbon7 (talk) 04:32, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Curbon7 - That's fair, but respectfully, I'm not interested in theatrics or histrionics. Just the facts. It's simply not correct that every statement cited has 8 different references. In all sincerity, I am only looking for fair consideration. I'll leave it here for now and, as I mentioned previously, I will heed your recommendations. I genuinely appreciate these, in addition to the work you do. Ryan (Ryancoke2020 (talk) 04:43, 31 December 2020 (UTC))

Ryancoke2020, "premiered at London’s Raindance Film Festival in 2019.[1][2][3][4][5][6][10][11][12][13][27]" ; "pondering what truly matters in life.[1][2][23][24][28][29]" ; "Tomos decided to try out his material under the Probably Tomfoolery brand.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][16][17]"

To ease your concern of another reviewer declining because of not enough sourcing, don't worry, there will be enough. Good job so far, your effort and enthusiasm are appreciated! Curbon7 (talk) 04:54, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi Curbon7... Thank you, very much, for the kind, encouraging words in your previous message. They're genuinely appreciated! I've re-submitted my page (for review) after making changes - as per your recommendations. It may still require some finessing, though I do believe it's more in line with your expectations. If not, I will endeavor to improve all aspects, as necessary. Once again, thank you for your hard work and diligence. Ryan (Ryancoke2020 (talk) 15:20, 2 January 2021 (UTC))

Hey Curbon7! Just a quick update informing you that I've made many more changes, as per your recommendations. I believe the page looks substantially better, though I'm a bit partial. Again, I'm open to any additional advice/critiques, and humbly, I must admit that you were ultimately correct. Indeed, there was too much editorializing and far too many citations/references. I mean, there may still be instances where things aren't perfect, but I think I've made good progress. Thank you - truly! - for your help, guidance and encouragement. It's genuinely appreciated!
Ryan (Ryancoke2020 (talk) 19:24, 4 January 2021 (UTC))

Hey Curbon7... Welcome back! I hope all is well and no damage was done to your account.
When you're afforded the opportunity, could you let me know if you'll be the one reviewing the resubmission of my draft or is it more likely that it'll be undertaken by someone else? Thank you!
Kindly,

Regarding Florida's Legislative districts

Hey Curbon7. I saw that you recently created Florida's 14th State House district. Do you plan on doing the rest of the districts for both Senate and House districts? I know someone who was making Senate districts for a couple of states who goes by the user name Blizzardwind, but he was taking a break from doing that. Dillon251992 (talk) 02:28, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

@Dillon251992: Yeah I'm still planning on making them. I've also done House 1-13 as well. It's just such a time consuming process since it takes about 2-3 hours to make a district page, and there are 120 House districts and 40 Senate districts. I'm aiming to do 1 article per day, which will take about half a year (with a fixed deadline being the Census redistricting for obvious reasons lol). Curbon7 (talk) 02:51, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Draft:Yangon Thu Michelle

Yangon Thu Michelle is an advocate for women empowerment who stands on her own feet. She produces her own videos, co-founded Myanmar Women’s Self Defense Center, and is a country lead for Myanmar in the Bangkok-based Wedu Global social enterprise. Her videos and interviews aim to support women in Myanmar and she does so with no expectations of benefits or rewards. This is why she is someone who should have a page on Wikipedia.

She does not focus on fame while endeavouring for women’s rights and human rights and her efforts have been documented in interviews and articles by various media outlets. In addition, we have added a citation where State-owned media has written about her work. Her wiki page was constructed based on these facts. Thus, we kindly request an AFC review to be conducted.

No doubt that there is reliable sources and well cited. Try to read Myanmar language, don't translate from google. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Burmese King (talk • contribs) 08:31, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Burmese King, (1) Read WP:COI and make sure to declare any potential conflict of interest you may have with the subject. (2) Read WP:NBIO, WP:C, and WP:NPOV to know exactly why this draft was declined. (3) I am suspecting this account is a sockpuppet. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Nyiminsan. Curbon7 (talk) 09:05, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Curbon7 1, I do not need to do COI because this is no paid or related with the subject. 2, I already read about the rules and regulations about what you mention. 3, I notice this article was decline and author ask for suggestion in group of wiki editor in Myanmar. That's why I got link and clarify what is need to trim and improve community. I do not know how to respond your suspected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Burmese King (talk • contribs) 09:13, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Check those pages too should be on Wiki?

Check the below links, do you think this is also meet wiki guide line as well? May Zune Win, Su Htat, Lar Phar Dee — Preceding unsigned comment added by Burmese King (talk • contribs) 10:28, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Burmese King, The third one is definitely notable. The second one is likely notable. I think the first one is potentially non-notable, so I have tagged it as such. Curbon7 (talk) 10:34, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

I am really curious, I do not copy the content for the draft Yangon Thu Michelle, she is the same as above mention pages. But she is more focus on community. I do not understand, why can't she on Wiki? The likely notable one you mention is travel and tour company owner, travel blogger. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Burmese King (talk • contribs) 10:40, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Burmese King, I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to say here. I'll leave this draft to another reviewer to judge. I don't want to pull the plug on it because there aren't very many Burma-related articles or editors; however, it is very marginal in notability, if even that, in its current state. Curbon7 (talk) 13:21, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Curbon7 My apology for any inconvenience that you face with. I am helping the community, my friend. I am a strong activist who supports local women's empowerment and she is the only one who can do it effectively. I noticed that Yangon Thu Michelle was on Wikipedia page and it will support her work more in the future.

You can check the log, 12:12, 4 June 2020‎ Phyo WP talk contribs‎ m 6,281 bytes 0‎ Phyo WP moved page Draft:Yangon Thu Michelle to Yangon Thu Michelle without leaving a redirect: move to mainspace, the article is well-sourced & may meet WP:BIO.

After a few months later, the user name with MrsSooozyTurtle come out and moved the page to draft because of multiple articles (slightly different spelling) reason.

You can check the log at there " 01:05, 19 December 2020‎ MrsSnoozyTurtle talk contribs‎ m 6,388 bytes 0‎ MrsSnoozyTurtle moved page Yangon Thu Michelle to Draft:Yangon Thu Michelle: Multiple articles (with slightly different spellings) by the same author for declined drafts is WP:GAMING the system. Please allow the proper AfC review process to take place. (via script)"

What I really understand is, it only needs to remove the duplicate page that appears in Wiki. But, there is no need for AFC submission and move it to draft space. So, please re-consider my submission and help me or guide me on how to improve this article I created. I want her article on wikipedia, because she appeared even in the government-issued newspaper, reputable media, broadcast TV, and award winner. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Burmese King (talk • contribs) 15:20, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Request on 02/01/2021 for assistance on AfC submission by Mylene_97

Hi. My request on the article Draft:Church of San Pietro Apostolo was declined because of lack of sources. As suggested by you I added now another source. Unfortunately is a very small town and is difficult to find many sources. I did my best. The article I created is for a university project. Hope in your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mylene 97 (talk • contribs) 11:14, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Mylene 97, I'll take the gamble and accept it, though I don't have the time to do so right now. I'll mark it for review so another reviewer doesn't decline it by mistake, and I'll accept it tomorrow afternoon EST. Curbon7 (talk) 13:37, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Draft:Jeanette Davis (2)

Hello! Thanks for reviewing the draft page for Draft:Jeanette Davis (2) recently. I saw that you declined the page because Draft:Jeanette Davis already exists. I am a college professor and this semester my students did a project researching influential academics and writing wiki pages about them. My student wrote the Jeanette Davis (2) page and is trying to figure out the next steps. The Draft:Jeanette Davis page was declined due to not having enough sources, while Draft: Jeanette Davis (2) has substantially more sources and I think is much more likely to be considered a biography of a notable scientist. Can you let me know what the best next steps are? Should we transfer the text from Draft:Jeanette Davis (2) over to Draft:Jeanette Davis? At that point could it be reconsidered? I am also going to reach out to the editor who declined Draft:Jeanette Davis to ask for their preferred next steps. Thanks for any point in the right direction - I am new to wikipedia but excited to see Jeanette Davis represented in a biography. Thanks for your help! -- Csoconn (talk) 22:57, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Csoconn, Hi again! Sorry for not getting back to you the first time you messaged me, I was on vacation at the time so I wasn't really checking Wikipedia. Honestly, the fellas at the AfC help desk are probably much more capable of helping you in this situation that I am, so please message there. Curbon7 (talk) 00:32, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

Curbon7 Please don't be sorry; I'M sorry to have spammed you during the holiday season! I don't think I realized that I had already bugged you - many apologies! I'm juggling a few pages and have been forgetting what I commented on where, heh. Luckily, this issue got resolved via the AfC help desk, as you suggested. Woohoo! And thanks so much!

Your response about my draft on Draft:Friedrich Porges

Thank you, Curbon 7, for your response and good suggestions. You can see the presently existing Wikipedia page on Friedrich Porges here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Porges I will rework the draft, esp. in regard to the inline citations, and then contact you again.

New Page Reviewer granted

Hi Curbon7. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at WP:PERM in case your user right is time limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:

• Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
• You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
• If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
• Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. Chetsford (talk) 02:43, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

Could you please review my article

Hey.

I noticed you have reviewed a few pages in your time at Wikipedia- I am a beginner to Wikipedia and have just finished writing my first article, now the draft is pending for review. It'd be great if you could check it over! I am apprehensive that it will contain mistakes and I will need to wait another few weeks/months before getting another review.

Many thanks, Apaul291003 (talk) 11:21, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

  • Draft:Maël Péneau (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hi, thanks for the feedback on the "Maël Péneau" page I published

I have some questions though, in order to understand why it's not admissible

1. The page is a translation from the french wikipedia, where it already exists (I also wrote the french version). Is it possible that one page is admissible in & language and not admissible in another ? https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ma%C3%ABl_P%C3%A9neau

2. Some of The criterias for music composers/performers (according to the guidelines) seem to apply :

- criteria #4 : Has received non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country Source : http://stoneyroads.com/2014/03/bromance-records-tour-wrapping-up-with-louisahhh-maelstrom/

- criteria #10 : Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g., a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a notable compilation album, etc. Source : performance for ARTE TV (french/german national TV channel) https://www.arte.tv/fr/videos/087035-000-A/louisahhh-b2b-maelstrom-a-arte-mix-o-trabendo-2018/

- criteria #1 : Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself. here is some sources but there is more source 1 : https://mixmag.net/feature/june-2017-8-electro-releases-you-need-to-hear-this-month source 2 : https://ra.co/reviews/22763 source 3 : https://djmag.com/features/back-yours-maelstrom source 4 : https://inverted-audio.com/mix/maelstrom/

Could you please let me know as to why these criterias are not sufficient ?

Also, I found a number of similar pages related to techno producers and DJs (some with less relevant sources than the ones I used for this page) so I'm wondering why these pages have been deemed admissible but not the one I've submitted : - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Servant - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hacker - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVS1 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aslan110 (talk • contribs) 08:17, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

Stevanstevan64, As I noted, the subject is notable per WP:NSPORT. However, the main issue with the page is that there are not enough non-primary sources. Also, since I declined this page over a month ago, I cannot take a re-review request. Curbon7 (talk) 21:18, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Algeria (disambiguation)

Hello. I would like your opinion on the article Algeria (disambiguation) which was mentioned for quick deletion.

Indeed, there is a big difference between the name of the state "Algeria" and the city of the capital "Algiers", and therefore there are two articles of disambiguation: Algiers (disambiguation) and Algeria (disambiguation).

I hope you will take this remark into consideration and make the necessary changes to maintain the article Algeria (disambiguation). Cordially. --Kalimoun (talk) 10:25, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

Articles, Josh Hawley User:JgPville/sandbox

Thanks for your rapid response. I am puzzled, though, by your reasons.

My edit is a brief summary of an essay in today's New York Times on a topic related to recent news and Ms. Stewart's published book. So I think the source is both reliable and verifiable.

As for context, I was not sure whether to add the Stewart citation as a gloss on the existing citation to Hawley's Christianity Today article. If you think that summarizing Stewart's argument goes beyond the typical WP entry, then I would suggest simply adding her essay to footnote 154's citation of Kilgore's NY Times item from 2019 (which is quoted in the Hawley article in WP as follows: "Hawley wrote in a 2012 essay: 'Government serves Christ’s kingdom rule; this is its purpose. And Christians' purpose in politics should be to advance the kingdom of God — to make it more real, more tangible, more present.'").

I think that Stewart's essay provides further, updated context for Kilgore's quotation. Stewart's quotation is as "verifiable" as the quotation from Kilgore (indeed, they may be quoting from different sections of the same source). In any event, the information value to WP of adding further context to Kilgore can be met by simply citing her essay ("see also Katherine Stewart ...") without quoting her, particularly if you feel the quotations are redundant.JgPville (talk) 17:44, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

JgPville, As it stands, this draft is unencyclopedic, per WP:NOT. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection on information; if this subject is significant and relevant to Hawley, please insert it into his article, Josh Hawley. If you do so, ensure you adhere by WP:NPOV guidelines. If you don't, or if this event is not significant, the content would likely be removed from the article by another editor. Curbon7 (talk) 20:04, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

I feel that there is a moving target here, proceeding from reliability and context (despite similar secondary and primary sources to another WP entry on Hawley) to Point of View. The suggestion of a non-neutral POV surprises me because I was careful to limit myself in descriptors to two adjectives, "religious" and "neo-Calvinist", the former rather obvious from the quotations used and the latter attributed to Kuyper in the WP article on him.

Perhaps I should go further, while keeping neutrality, and offer an edit to the last sentence of the article. The "Christians' purpose in politics" quote probably belongs in the main text, not in the "Personal Life" filler, as this quote and its linking of his faith and politics is not simply "personal"; it is, by his frequent spoken and written affirmation, very public. This is not a POV issue; to ignore the affinity between JH's particular vision of Christianity and his public positions is to ignore his essence. To do so would be like writing about many British and American abolitionists in the 19th century without noting the influence of evangelical Christianity on their political beliefs and dedication. With both JH and the abolitionists, the public life of their personal Christian vision should be noted, regardless of whether one finds that vision compelling or strident. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JgPville (talk • contribs) 21:27, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

Request for help on Draft:Global Defense Corp

Hello sir, you have declined to publish a page I recently added. I added genuine reference from other sources to show the newspaper has genuine follower, reader and references to the global defense corp. It shows what is global defense corp and their published articles and references to the global defense corp.

Please approve the page. Thank you kindly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dingo2021 (talk • contribs)

Your edit to User talk:Tom.doyers

Hi, just a customary note to say that you shouldn't really leave a second warning note for the same edit - as the bot posted one before you; ultimately only one should suffice. The user appears to be a compromised account also, so has been reported as appropriate. Thanks Nightfury 10:30, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Nightfury, yeah I meant to overwrite the bot warning due to the context of the edit in question, but I forgot to actually do it lol. Curbon7 (talk) 01:09, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

Draft:Hard Frost

Why in an article about a novel does the novel not count as a reliable source? According to Wikipedia's guidelines it's a primary source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Uanime5 (talk • contribs) 6:51 pm, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

Hey, I was reviewing this draft that you had rejected earlier. I saw two book reviews in Hindi [1], [2] that seem to contribute to WP:Author for me.

Must see once

Hello @Curbon7:, I want to make Emiway Bantai. I tried once before to create an article Emiway Bantai (Indian rapper), but it was deleted, which probably would not have passed GNG at that time. Then I found a Machayenge article from Emiway on Wiki. When I checked that article, it turned out that it was created by CptViraj. He is also an NPR. When I talked to him about this, he said that he was previously associated with this subject. So now he does not want to make it. Then I saw their sandbox which was made to make User:CptViraj/sandbox/Emiway Bantai. Recently I have prepared an article on their sandbox. Therefore, I will ask you to review it. Since its main title is Protected by the Administrator, I will ask you to move it to Emiway. Must see once. Thank you 2402:3A80:10CA:7818:C024:C6CC:B8CC:5E1E (talk) 10:18, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

Article redirect

It is to be noted that the article Thiyyar history that has created on 8th May, as there were 10 articles of the same topic has already been redirected to the main article Ezhava. No merge requests are to be made and might be a part of the long-running sockpuppetry based on the PR work done by Adithya Kiran Chekavar & Vishnu vaaish. R.C^{Outlander07@talk} 12:44, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

Also, the primary sources specifically the Raj-era] references fail the criteria WP:RS. R.C^{Outlander07@talk} 12:51, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

Third-person Story

Yeah, it was one of the weirdest things I've read all day. The least abnormal thing about that whole page was the lead sentence "This article about events that happened to me, is written in a third-person narrative". After that, it was all "What is this (probable) blog like fiction?" the whole way down (and the "sourcing", egads). Regardless, it clearly failed "what Wikipedia is" and many other guidelines since it was an unverifiable personal account of an event in their personal life. Odd that you got the notification for it instead of the creator and I'm sorry for bothering you with it, but glad it gave you a chuckle. Zinnober9 (talk) 06:16, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

Delete Article

Emil Şahin, delete the deletion process, we made corrections in the article and gave references, please keep this in mind213.172.93.77 (talk) 11:14, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

The article is essentially a carbon copy of the previous 5 versions that have been created in the last 2 weeks. As for the references, most of them are not reliable, per the standards established at WP:RS. Furthermore, as was covered in the AfD, this fails notability as established at WP:MUSICBIO and WP:GNG. Maybe this singer will be notable at some point. Is he notable now? No, he isn't.

Another point that I noticed are the cross-language wikis. This chap has articles in both Russian and Azerbaijani. However, if I look a little deeper, I can see that the Russian article is first of all created by your IP range, and second of all being PRODed. The Azerbaijani article was also created by the same guy who created this current version.

Third point, seriously stop deleting the CSD templates. Curbon7 (talk) 11:29, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

Delete Article

Hello, we created this wikipedia article and it was previously written under the name Emil Şahin.

Thanks for your edits on Raven Baxter

Hey, thank you for contributing to the Raven Baxter page and talk. It's been frustrating beating back the promo/peacock language that was constantly being added, which had almost completely died down until apparently news of her earning her PhD spawned a new wave of pushing dubious qualifications. It also looks like some sources choose to closely paraphrase her personal website bio (like the Buffalo Rising piece that even kept her "molecular scientist" title...), which is unfortunate since it propagates self-marketing that shouldn't even be necessary for her field. We run into the same problem over and over of perpetuating credential inflation on so many science-adjacent bios... [3] [4] Also, if you're interested in creating or expanding academic BLP content, my user page has a bunch of article-less likely-NPROF-notable STEM women and minorities I've come across through looking at coauthors of academics in AfDs. Best, JoelleJay (talk) 03:47, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

JoelleJay, no problem, I'm glad to help! Regarding your last sentence, there's too much I don't know about scientist bios to be of any usefulness there, plus AfC and my own queue of pages to create is keeping me pretty busy ([5] This book has around 5,000 people in it, all of whom are notable and most of whom don't have articles; it's also a slog to find info on most of these people since historical records from 180 years ago are very sparse in mentions).

I'm offering you a counter-offer, though! Since you seem really knowledgeable regarding reliable sources in general, but also academic notability, why don't you submit an application to join us at AfC. We get a decent traffic of academic drafts (everything from professors who think they're the next Einstein to science and math concepts that I don't even pretend to understand), and we'd love to have your help! :) Curbon7 (talk) 04:39, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

MXX8, The page is almost entirely unsourced. Articles need to have reliable sourcing, per WP:RS. Curbon7 (talk) 08:31, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

Recheck request of two similar title article.

Please don't be confused with Bagal caste with Bagal (surname). Bagal is just a Heteronyms word. The word Bagal pronounced as Baagal in Bagal (surname) article, while the word Bagal pronounced as Baagaal in Bagal caste and their content is different to each other.

Need your valuable suggestion. Thank you, MaxA-Bot (talk) 09:59, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

MaxA-Bot, the comment I left was just a note to other reviewers. Your draft's name is Bagal; however, the page Bagal already exists in mainspace as a redirect to Bagal (surname). This isn't anything wrong with your draft, it's just that there can't be two pages with the same name, obviously.

Luckily it's a really easy situation to solve! If your draft makes it to the point that it is to be moved to mainspace, then an admin will simply delete the existing redirect page and move your draft in it's place. Curbon7 (talk) 11:15, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

Repetitive rejection of article (Draft:Shyam Metalics and Energy)

Which source according to you is non reliable??? Can you please point it out??? BNJ Nilam (talk) 01:22, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

BNJ Nilam, As I stated in the draft, the subject's website, as well as any press releases from them, are considered primary sources, which are unreliable. Curbon7 (talk) 01:26, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

There are article published by renowned media outlets like The Times and MoneyControl... No company funded press release has been used as a source... BNJ Nilam (talk) 01:46, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

BNJ Nilam, It doesn't matter what other sources there are. The draft was declined because it references the company's website and some other primary sources, both of which are not reliable sources. The independent sources are fine, those aren't what is being discussed here. Curbon7 (talk) 02:04, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Well, not entirely moot. Your rationale made the author wonder what to do. I was hoping that my comments (in the history or possibly at the AFC help desk) might give you inspiration towards offering a little more assistance.

2022 Florida United States Senate Race

You left a comment on my talkpage saying that information I added to 2022 United States Senate election in Florida was wrong, if the date of someone's term is specified (for ex. Donald Trump, 45th President of the United States (2017-2021)) then why would you write "Former" in the heading. Also if a former Governor, U.S. Representative, or Senator endorses a candidate generally on the endorsement it will say either the number of their term (for ex. In California my Governor Gavin Newsom is the 40th Governor of California) or it will say former in front of their name if they are a former Senator or U.S. Representative. There is never a seperate heading for Former U.S. Senators apart from U.S. Senators broadly. Also "Former Executive Branch Officials" isn't a real position while "Executive Branch Official", the former is an adjective that adds onto the position title. Can you please revert the edit and remove the notice you added to my talk page. Thanks.73.70.228.14 (talk) 08:41, 17 June 2021 (UTC)73.70.228.14

You're right! I brain-spasmed I guess and misread it. For some reason I thought it was the reverse, that you added the word former. I undid my undo of your edit and I'm removing the warning from your page. Thank you for catching my mistake! Curbon7 (talk) 09:31, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

Draft review of Judd Proctor article

 Courtesy link: Draft:Judd Proctor

Dear Curbon7,

Thank you for reviewing my draft article on Judd Proctor, guitarist.

It's difficult to provide sources for a professional musician, as you may appreciate. Judd Proctor appeared on countless recordings - some of them big hits - and was a major British session-player in the 60s and 70s. Countless websites confirm his recordings and status, but there is no academic book which assesses his significance as such. An article was published about him in Pipeline, which is included in the references. There is no easy way of providing reliable sources of his music, TV and film work, other than to say what I've put in the article. Hudd Proctor did all the things included in the artivle but it is difficult to show this through academic or other articles.

Not sure what else to do if the revised version isn't acceptable. It wouldn't be appropriate that Judd Proctor should not have a wikipedia entry, which I'm sure many musicians would agree with.

The other thing would be to offer a comment on youtube references. In this case the reference is to a performance by Judd Proctor on guitar, supporting famous British comedian Spike Milligan in a duet. There's no other way to verify this other than to say Judd played the guitar then, and to ref the footage.

Thank you, Dingosmith Dingosmith 5000 (talk) 12:02, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

Dingosmith 5000, my only gripes with the draft were listed in my comment, and you seem to have fixed the issue. I'll leave it to another reviewer. Curbon7 (talk) 00:07, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for your prompt reply Curbon7, much appreciated. Having spent quite a bit of time drawing the obituary together it was as much a reflection of frustration at the lack of academic sources. I was a bit concerned that Wikipedia might decline to approve it for those reasons. Thank you for your help and reading the draft. Dingosmith 5000 (talk) 10:58, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

Hey I appreciate all of your work on different elections related to Florida, I'm trying to make a better userpage and modeled some parts after yours and other userpages I've seen, but I'm unable to align everything properly and my user page is really messed up, can you help me out?

Also where did you get your really cool userboxes? Anish631 (talk) 06:28, 18 June 2021 (UTC)Anish631

Anish631, Honestly I'm not the right person to ask cause I also barely know how to format my userpage; I just kinda experimented until it kinda worked out. I mean as you can see in the "Wikittols for my use" section, I never quite figured out how to properly align the templates.

For templates, the alignment parameters are definitely your friend, example: ((Example|left)) or ((Example|right)). Also, try moving the text below the userboxes and the map above the userboxes, if that's what you want. Also, tables like the MOS:JOBTITLES one I have form themselves around like text, unlike templates which are very rigid.

It's mainly just experimenting until you get something you kinda like. My userpage was pretty bad until recently.

Also the userboxes are all here: Wikipedia:Userboxes/Galleries Curbon7 (talk) 06:35, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

Draft:Fairness in Women’s Sports Act

Hi Curbon. I saw you moved Draft:Florida Transgender Female Athletes Bill when you were reviewing it for AfC. I've got no problem with the move or your decline. I do have, however, a question about the "apostrophe" used in the new title. There's something odd about its syntax because Draft:Fairness in Women’s Sports Act and Draft:Fairness in Women's Sports Act should be the same but for some reason they're not and I think that has to do with the apostrophe. Your version looks like a it's using a non-straight apostrophe or a fullwidth apostrophe as opposed the the straight or halfwidth apostrophe that Wikipedia seems to prefer. Perhaps you were using a smart phone or tablet when you made the edit because I've noticed my iPhone uses fullwidth apostrophes by default when I edit. They look the same or really close to straight apostrophes in the article display mode which means they're fine for reading purposes, but they do impact link syntax when used in links. It might be easier to see what I mean if you look at the code: your version looks like Draft:Fairness in Women’s Sports Act whereas a straight/halfwidth version looks like Draft:Fairness in Women's Sports Act. It's the space between the apostrophe and the "s" that somehow affects the link syntax, which in turn might make linking to the draft a bit confusing. The fix seems to be fairly simple and probably all that's needed is another page move, but I just want to run this by you first because I'm not sure how or if that might affect how the page is entered on any AfC category or log pages. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:27, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

Marchjuly, sure sounds good! I literally copy-pasted the name from Bsoyka's comment on the draft, so that's prob where the apostrophe came from. Curbon7 (talk) 22:31, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

For reference, I only noticed it after trying to link to it here so it's not something obvious and you wouldn't catch it really if you never experienced it before. As I posted above, I think all that's needed is another page move. Would you mind doing that if you know how? I'm not sure how to handle the redirects another page move would create since the original title would now be redirecting to a redirected title which in turn now redirects to the new title. It might simply be better to delete the middle redirect outright which is something I can't do myself. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:39, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

Marchjuly, okie I did both the move and fixed the redirect. For future reference, all you have to do for double redirects is change the original page's redirect to the newest page instead of the middle page. This just creates two separate redirects instead of one long string. Alternatively, there's also a bot that auto cleans up double redirects, but this takes some time. Curbon7 (talk) 22:44, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for doing all of that and for the info. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:09, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

Unjustified grounds of rejection. Draft:Mahnaz_Malik

I'm just surprised. Mahnaz Malik being the youngest ever arbitrator appointed by the World Bank and also winning the UK Financial Times of the Year Award. That's beyond notable.

Also, I do not understand how the author of several books two of them published by Oxford University press is not notable. All sources are not self published but of third party sources and news.

Further she's been noted as a leading children's writer in other Wikipedia entries?

My question is what I do? It seems quite unfair that someone can reject on whimsical grounds.

Are the articles written about her in Wikipedia are not notable? Is that what you are saying.

Other articles can write about someone on Wikipedia and cite the person but the person whom they're citing isn't notable enough to have an article ? That does not make sense.

Please review it again. Your grounds are completely unjustified by what you've said. Njinfo10109 (talk) 16:03, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Marjorie Taylor Greene you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period.

@Curbon7: It's going to be a ride, my friend. For what it's worth, I like to be hands-on in reviewing (be it a new, start-level article or this behemoth), so I'll spare you most of the tedious, trivial, nitpicky stuff (like grammar and formatting) and mostly just interject on broader issues where both of us should work together to find a solution.

draft on google

No, I do not represent anyone. I'm not a professional wikipedia editor as my articles show and merely write artcles for black women whose works I admire and want to bring to wider notice. I don't personally know these women although I follow some of them on twitter and like and retweet their tweets. I also know a friend of one of the women. The only thing all three articles I've written for wikipedia have in common is that they're black women in the creative industry who are making great strides against all odds. As such, I don't want their images messed up with by a devout fan as myself. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by AFRICAN001 (talk • contribs) 11:27, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

When you are done, preview the page to check for errors and then publish it." (I hope that is not a copyright violation) I'll leave the gaudy crap objecting to my suggested article up on the ISP talk page. It's easier to delete than to work on an draft, isn't it?

Re: comment "IMDb is not a valid source"

Hi Curbon7. Thanks for reviewing my submission and I have made some changes per your suggestion. It is my first time writing on wikipedia. I added many more citations to articles written about the living person I wrote a page on. I can see that generally speaking, IMDb may not be a valid source, however in the context of the citation, I believe they are. I cited them for the awards the living person has won and IMDb has a strict and extensive verification and accreditation process for awards; I encourage you to research IMDb accredited festivals. IMDb is one of few legitimate sources to verify awards filmmakers and Entertainment industry persons have won. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Douggybenton (talk • contribs) 23:25, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

Douggybenton, IMDb can still be used as an external link (WP:IMDB-EL), but is not acceptable as a reliable source. Per WP:CITINGIMDB, there are only 2 instances where it is valid to use as a source, and this situation is neither. Curbon7 (talk) 17:13, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

Each of my 4 examples of Anglo-Icelander have 2 or 3 citations, these are provided by museums , television channels and newspapers....and the citation on the number of Anglo-Icelanders is from the Icelandic statistics board

What more do I need to do — Preceding unsigned comment added by Garry Taylor (talk • contribs) 01:58, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

The main problem is the lack of reliable sources, which therefore does not allow for verification of the information. Without that verifiability, we don't know if there are factual errors or not. This is mainly only an issue regarding the number of Anglo-Icelanders. Curbon7 (talk) 02:14, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

Response to your denial of article

Hello! Thanks for reviewing the page I created for Kyle A. Thomas. I just wanted to ask about your interpretation of the academic notability standards, which you determined were not met. Based upon Wikipedia's 8 conditions for academic notability (of which only one must be met to pass the threshold of notability), Kyle A. Thomas meets the 8th point easily. He is the editor-in-chief for an international academic journal in his discipline. So, I'd like to ask why you did not see the article about him as meeting the standards of notability? Am I missing something? I'll also add that I understand the citation criteria wasn't the strongest and I'm working to remedy that. If you still have access to the draft of the article could you point out the citations that don't meet the standards of Wikipedia because, from what I can tell looking at other pages about academics, the citations are more robust than what I've seen. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Usesoap17 (talk • contribs) 23:23, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

New contributor help RE Draft:Rawle Harding first article

Hello, I should have checked the guidelines further for more informations on which sources could be used and which ones could not. When I was doing the research on Rawle Harding I did a google search and there are articles written about his music however, i assumed when it came to listing his music a link to the source would be appropriate. I realize now it is not a reliable source. I have since removed those sources and added others.

Sorting Florida places

I've been involved in the GNIS cleanup since last year, and I've found a few ways to generally most efficiently handle the cleanup. PROD works well for the modern subdivisions that lack coverage, as those are generally fairly uncontroversial. Obvious non-communities that fail GNG can also be prodded, such as fords, railroad sidings with no associated community, and river landings. Anything controversial should go through AFD. A special case is if you have a bunch of very similar articles in the same county - see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chaney Ranch, California for a bunch of ranches in California (+1 subdivision I would have left out) or Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Butzner Corner, Virginia (a bunch of named road junctions in Virginia) for bundled ones that work. Sometimes I'll take really blatant errors through AFD instead of PROD to preserve a discussion showing why GNIS/databases aren't good sources for this, such as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Levee Spur, California or Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fish Pond, Kentucky. Absolutely unidentifiable stuff comes up, too - Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Acodale, Virginia is one that went to AFD. Depending on how you feel about the unidentifiable ones, prod or AFD either works. Sometimes you run into hoaxes as well, like I'm pretty sure Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stone Ridge, Maryland was at least partially.

Don't feel like you have to take the advice, but these are just some general thought of mine based on experience with this. You don't want to send stuff through PROD that maybe isn't quite noncontroversial, but it's also good to not overload AFD or people get burned out. I think there were over 100 in the geography delsort page for awhile last winter when some of us were processing a big batch of California ones mass-produced from a book the author misinterpreted.

As far as I can tell, there's a mess of these in most states. I think California, Idaho, and Iowa have been mostly processed, and Missouri, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Virginia have been partially done. Hog Farm _Talk 04:23, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

Hog Farm, thanks for the helpful tips! I'll definitely take that into consideration. Curbon7 (talk) 05:35, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

Hog Farm, Luckily most of these Florida ones are pretty good so far. I've only had to AfD like 3 and PROD maybe 10; most of those were in Monroe County and Miami-Dade County, so it's actually gonna be a breeze going forward as the unincorporated communities in rural counties going northward seem to have a good number of sources that I've been able to add from Newspapers.com.

New Page Patrol newsletter September 2021

New Page Review queue September 2021

Hello Curbon7,

Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including Autopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves at AfC and NPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.

Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection here.

At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.

There are currently 706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.

If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process or its software.

Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are described here.

While I agree that those four pages should be deleted, a related issue is the lack of transparency into the choice lists for deletion sorting. See WP:Deletion Sorting Deletion Issue. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:53, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

Robert McClenon, I agree; it would also likely be easier if there were definitively written instructions (ex. "when you create a new delsort, add it to this that and the other page"). There are a bunch of useful delsort pages that just haven't been created yet, and a main reason is probably because editors from those respective Wikiprojects got confused in the process.

Article for submission: Largest US Charities

Hi Curbon7,

I appreciated your review of my article for submission. When it was declined you mentioned a lack of reliable sources and proof of notability. I am of course aware that I only cited one source, which was Forbes. However, I think there is precedent for this style of List article, directly based off a reputable financial source, similar to the List of wealthiest Americans by net worth, Forbes list of The World's 100 Most Powerful Women, and 6 other lists published annually by a different magazine, Fortune, all of which have articles on Wikipedia (See list).

Since there's such a strong case of precedent, what do you think about including the 100 Largest US Charities on Wikipedia as well?

Agnerf, Your PROD rationale was justifying a page merge/redirect, which is out of the purview of of WP:PROD. If you wanted a redirect, you could've just been bold and done it yourself, or begun a proposed merge if you wanted a merge instead. In any case, if this article went to AfD or WP:PAM, I would support deletion/merging. Tl;dr, I'm not opposed to deletion/merging of the article, but your rationale was out of order for PROD.

Regarding removal of WP:PROD tag

Hi, I see you removed PROD tag I added on two articles i.e. Capture of Delhi (1753) and Battle of Sikandra. I just wanted to say that I thoroughly read references provided on the article page and many books for further reference. And I didn't find a single reference of said events specially Capture of Delhi page which I think completely different story altogether. See the talk page of these articles and also see my talk page where I explained in detailed about the said articles. And it is unfortunate that without any apparent reason, you removed tag from both these pages. I hope you should help us fight vandalism and hoaxes rather than defending them. I think I will go for WP:AFD after a few days when I will not be busy as its gonna be a little tedious process comapred to WP:PROD which you declined. In the meantime if you could help me to get truth of these articles than it would be appreciated specially cross-checking the sources and see if the article of Capture of Delhi (1753) has any citation/reference of capturing the city by belligerent Jats or article of Battle of Sikandra has any citation of any actual battle and not just looting of a tomb. Thanks in advance.Hiensrt (talk) 18:53, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

Hiensrt, My general perspective is when a claim for deletion regarding something being untrue/a hoax is made, in particular regarding Indian topics due to the prevalence of caste war editing on Wikipedia, it should go to AfD in order to get more eyes on it. I have no qualms against the nomination itself, sorry if my edit summary when contesting the PRODs seemed crass. Curbon7 (talk) 19:02, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

Curbon7 understood. I will go for AfD after a few days when I get free time to spare. There is just too much non-sense written as you said due to prevalent castecrufts. That is why it is more important to keep eye on such new pages specially created by sockpuppet as these two are.Hiensrt (talk) 20:14, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

Contested deletion proposal of Chanto

Hi Curbon7, I hope all is well. Thank you very kindly for reviewing the deletion proposal of Chanto. This is my first time identifying and submitting such a request, and while I attempted to look for credible sources prior, I was unsuccessful. With the article being tagged for not meeting the general notability guidelines for over nine years, if there are credible sources in other languages that you’ve identified, I’d be happy to partner with you in developing the article further to ensure it is better reflected. I hope my suggestion is not too unconventional, and because you have more expertise within the platform than I do, I’d be happy to be guided by you in the process. I’m looking forward to your thoughts, and wishing you a wonderful day. Journey of Learning (talk) 03:45, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

Query

Hello, Curbon7,

Your User page shows up as a pink link in my browser window which, with the scripts I use, typically means that it is a page that has been tagged for deletion. But I looked it over and don't see a transcluded speedy deletion tag on it. The page also shows that it is in the hidden category Category:Miscellaneous pages for deletion which I can't seem to remove. So, there might be a CSD tag somewhere in there but I can't find the tag to remove it. I don't think you have to worry about your User page being deleted, I thought I'd mention it to you in case you could figure it out. Thanks. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 19:11, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

Liz, thanks for letting me know! I'm gonna be out for the rest of today, but I'll def try to figure it out tomorrow. Curbon7 (talk) 19:14, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

Actually I think I may know, which is one of the userboxes I have is currently at MfD. That may be the cause. Curbon7 (talk) 19:15, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

Unfortunately, this thing happens when inexperienced editors tag templates for deletion. I've seen CSD categories fill up with user pages because the speedy deletion tag was transcluded on to editor's pages. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 00:07, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

Single-use plastics

I'm sorry to hear my article entry of the above title has been rejected. The reason cited was the absence of a reliable source. The source that I referred to was the BBC. Is this institution no longer considered a reliable source? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tavernsenses (talk • contribs) 06:23, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

Tavernsenses, BBC is a solid source, but in order to be proven notable via WP:GNG, there need to be additional sources that confer significant coverage. Eyeballing it off-the-cuff, chances are this may be a notable topic, but there needs to be additional sourcing to prove that. Curbon7 (talk) 06:29, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

Cybersm A reviewer has to review the draft to ensure it meets notability guidelines. This can take up to a maximum of 8 weeks, though it will likely be less than that. Curbon7 (talk) 17:46, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi, could you please elaborate on why you removed my PROD on this article? As I mentioned, BEFORE searches returned absolutely no reliable sources. And the article concerns a state level administrative agency that doesn't appear to play a particularly significant role.

Page mover granted

Hello, Curbon7. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.

Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.

Useful links:

• Wikipedia:Requested moves
• Category:Requested moves, for article renaming requests awaiting action.

If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! Seddon ^talk 23:18, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Incorrect move?

You seem to have moved a page from user namespace and created a duplicate. Draft:Vijay Rao (1) duplicate of Draft:Vijay Rao. Jay (talk) 08:30, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

Jay, it's correct. The working process for AfC is when a userspace page is submitted as a draft, and there is already an existing submission under that name, a number is added to the end. This ensures that (1) all AfC submissions are in draftspace, and (2) we are aware of the number of an existing submission that exists, in the case merging or selective reviewing is needed. Curbon7 (talk) 17:02, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

Prodding

Come from here you aren’t wrong when you say applying BLProd ought to have been the right way, & yes I understand you, you are going by the NPP flowchart, which is good, but the problem with the flowchart is that the theoretical bureaucracy sometimes complicates what ought to be rather straightforward. prods are easily the most inutile method of deletion, more often than not & statistically speaking we almost always need to circle back to AFD, after prodding which we could have used from the inception. At some point I checked the number of people with the NPR flag & I saw over 700 people with the perm using a tool I checked the list of the most active reviewers, after which I did a feasibility study & I noted that less than 1% of the most active reviewers use prodding.

Cookiemonstericecream, as I mentioned, it's still too far out from those elections for not only reliable sources to exist, but for content to exist. As they stand, those articles would essentially say nothing new for years. Once there is a demonstrable need for their creation (i.e. notable candidates or significant news coverage), then they can be created. Curbon7 (talk) 00:29, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

My Article (Draft:People Playground (1))

Hi, This is the People playground article, Steam has the whole info since that's where the game is. So it is considered to reliable. Yodas henchman (talk) 16:42, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

Yodas henchman, Steam is not a reliable or independent source. If it was, then there would have to be articles for all 50,000 games on Steam. Follow the criteria established at WP:NVG. Curbon7 (talk) 22:44, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

Steam is where the game is, and the developer puts the information in steam. Yodas henchman (talk) 18:06, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

Yodas henchman, again, information that comes from the developer is a primary source. We only deal with secondary sources here on Wikipedia.

Speedy deletion

Muftinadeem, For the same reason it was deleted 3 times before. Curbon7 (talk) 08:13, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Anwar Shah Orakzai

Hello Curbon7, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Anwar Shah Orakzai, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: A Reporters Without Borders profile for this journalist would appear sufficient enough to avoid outright WP:A7 deletion. WP:JOURNALIST, WP:GNG , WP:ANYBIO may still be applied . You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Shirt58 (talk) 10:31, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

Raza Sahib Article Redirect

Hello @Curbon7 - Thank you for reviewing my work in progress of the article - Raza Sahib - I see you have redirected it to Chanda Sahib accidentally maybe ? Chanda Sahib is the father and Raza Sahib is the son - So I think this redirect is probably invalid - On account of this I am undoing the redirect - and if you would disagree maybe, I would appreciate if you could maybe explain the rationale. Thank you again for the time and help!

Delete rather than draftifying multiple times

You moved Moulvibazar Government High School to draft space twice. Between your two moves, the author had moved it back to article space, so your second move is controversial and I've reverted it. Please improve the article or delete it instead of moving it to draft repeatedly, per WP:NPPDRAFT point 3b and WP:DRAFTOBJECT. --Worldbruce (talk) 06:06, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

Worldbruce, apologies, I didn't realize I had draftified it previously; I should've taken better care by looking deeper in the page history. Curbon7 (talk) 22:37, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Undoing Draftification

I draftified because there is a chance on notability, but the current sourcing is not reliable (mostly stat pages, college newspaper articles and recruiting profiles) and that way the article can be improved without threat of deletion. I'm not trying to delete so the drafts should be moved back. GPL93 (talk) 22:28, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

GPL93, I know, and I don't necessarily disagree; however, college football athletes should generally be AfD'd, as it's not a subject that would improve with draftification, and there is consensus regarding that at that WikiProject. Curbon7 (talk) 22:36, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
