Best wishes friend

Hallo old boy. I see that your exams finish tomorrow! I hope everything went well and I look forward to seeing you back from your wikibreak. I am currently (though slowly)creating my first article and would welcome any advice from a seasoned veteran such as yourself. All the best and I look forward too hopefully seeing you in real life at some not too distant point. Jtrrs0 (talk) 20:43, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Jtrrs0, my friend! Everything went swimmingly, thanks. The LPC is mightily manageable, even if it has all the intellectual engagement of watching paint dry.

The article on the Spanish statesman is looking very stately indeed. References look solid (though admittedly I haven't read them as my Spanish is Duolingo-level). Subject looks both eminently notable and a fascinating character. Some points on the manual of style come to mind, but there's no need to worry too much about those until you've got a draft out. Seems to me like you're at a stage where all you need to do is keep typing away until you're satisfied that it's reasonably complete. I'm happy to do a little tidying up on points of style as you add to it, as long as it doesn't interrupt your flow.

And most importantly - yes! Very much hope to see you again in person very soon. I hope final year has been fulfilling so far, at least as much as circumstances permit. Kohlrabi Pickle (talk) 11:12, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

Glad to hear it all went well!

Thanks for your kind comments! I should also probably disclose to you, as I have done in my new user page (which I shamelessly stole based off yours) that he is an ancestor of mine so there is a degree of COI. I believe I am capable of separating one thing from the other and edit neutrally, but in your view is it appropriate for me to continue writing it? If so I believe I need to submit it to WP:AFC. Thanks for your help! Jtrrs0 (talk) 11:56, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

@Jtrrs0: What an illustrious lineage - is that your great-grandfather? I think it's fine for you to keep writing. It would be a very good idea to put the article through AfC, which I think it will easily clear; from the sources on the draft so far, your ancestor seems eminently notable. I do AfC reviews once in a blue moon, so I can help you with that. Kohlrabi Pickle (talk) 14:48, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

Haha, thanks, yes. Thanks for your help! I'll let you know when I feel it's closer to finished to get your view on things. Jtrrs0 (talk) 11:39, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I am wondering why this page is not deemed acceptable for notoriety when I followed a template from another young politician who has a wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bushra_Amiwala).

Please let me know!

Thetangent24 (talk) 20:22, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Thetangent24. In order for Mussab Ali to be considered notable, he has to either (1) meet the general notability guideline, or (2) the specific notability guidelines for politicians. I considered both points. For point (1), in my assessment, most of the coverage is WP:ROUTINE and therefore does not indicate his notability. For point (2), politicians are only presumed notable once they hold elected office at the state level.

To your question on why it is not acceptable given the article on Bushra Amiwala, see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Wikipedia is big and difficult to keep perfect, so the existence of other articles is not a good justification to keep another. If anything perhaps that article’s position needs to be reconsidered.

This wasn’t clear-cut so you can always resubmit if you like, and perhaps another reviewer will feel differently. All the best. Kohlrabi Pickle (talk) 01:24, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
