Responded to question on Beyond Curie page

Hi Robert - I have responded to your question about Beyond Curie directly on the page under your comment. To restate it here, Phingbodhipakkiya is the last name of the creator of the portraits. Jasonyshen (talk) 15:52, 1 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again Robert - fixed the other references error you pointed out. Thanks and Happy New Year! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jasonyshen (talk • contribs) 06:22, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Robert - I wasn't sure if there's anything else you need from me to complete your review of my Beyond Curie wikipedia draft. Appreciate your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jasonyshen (talk • contribs) 05:19, 29 January 2019 (UTC) Jasonyshen (talk) 05:21, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Jasonyshen - After searching through my talk page, I found your message. I found your submission, Draft:Beyond Curie. I do not normally follow a draft through the approval process. Your only edits in 2018 and 2019 have been to Draft:Beyond Curie and its reviewers. Do you have a connection with the series? If so, please declare it in accordance with the conflict of interest policy. Robert McClenon (talk) 07:04, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Robert Szustkowski

Referring to the motor sports notability guidelines: The subject (Robert Szustkowski) has completed a number of races of worldwide interest, including among others Dakar and Silk Way Rally. He is therefore a person of growing international recognition in the world of motor sports. The list of rallies is included in the article, as well as the list of regattas.

I (the author of the draft) have no connection with the subject, I am just a fan of sport, including regattas (and to some extent also rallies). I have created an article about Robert Szustkowski for Polish edition of Wikipedia, and given Szustkowski's growing list of international successes, I wanted to create similar article for English Wikipedia.

I believe the draft is consistent with all Wikipedia recommendations and requirements. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Speedteam (talk • contribs) 14:10, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Cecily Jordan Farrars article

Robert McClenon

Thank you for expanding Cecily Jordan's article to include the controversy. It looks like you expanded it as well. Good job. I was considering that move myself, but didn't know if it was appropriate or if I would be dinged for moving so much. There are two issues that I don't see. The precedence setting issue of a woman being sued for Breach of Promise. This was the first such case, and the aftermath. The prohibition, like all prohibitions, didn't hold. There is also the Background, which is not mentioned in any article. That there was a shortage of women in the settlement, the situation was so dire that men of quality were trying to induce their sisters to migrate, and the Virginia Company resorted to bribing women, offering them a dowry and marriage to men of "quality". They recruited almost 200 females that way.

Isn't that significant?Oldperson (talk) 16:27, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Oldperson - I didn't expand or edit the article or the draft. Please discuss notability issues about a draft on a draft talk page. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:54, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, User:Simonmaingi/sandbox

Hello, Robert McClenon. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "sandbox".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. JMHamo (talk) 23:52, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request for information about declined article

Hi,

I'd like to understand more about why you declined my proposed article Draft:Pixel Slate, especially as it was declined as I was in the middle of working to improve it based on your comments from yesterday.

I wrote a question to the helpdesk earlier about the topic, as I don't understand your assertion about the sources not being independent. The current version of the page includes relevant references to articles from The Guardian, Gizmodo, Mashable, ZDNet, Popular Science, and CNet. Additionally, I don't believe I have a conflict of interest since my only connection to the product is that I happen to own one (which, if this were sufficient for a conflict of interest, I believe we'd have a difficult time finding editors for the iPhone page).

If you don't believe I'll be able to show the page to be notable, I'd like your advice on how best to migrate the relevant info from this page to the Pixel Slate section of the Google Pixel page. It does, however, seem like it would be a strange editorial decision to have this be the one major device on the Pixel page without its own page

Thanks,

Harry Volpe

Hi Robert. Thank you for reviewing and commenting on the article: Harry Volpe.

While a seminal figure in early jazz guitar with numerous mentions in print and online--in addition to his many recordings, of course--Volpe is practically a ghost in terms of published biographical information. The two main published sources are William Bay's book, Masters of the Plectrum Guitar, as well as Volpe's out-of-print, impossible-to-find autobiography.

I referenced both of those books. In your comment, "It appears that this subject is likely notable, but that better sources are required", how would I go about improving?

Thanks again. Jon — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alwayslearnedstuff (talk • contribs) 14:00, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Alwayslearnedstuff - Good question. I will ask at the Teahouse, but my thinking is to accept it as a less-than-well-sourced article. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:24, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Robert McClenon Thank you, Robert. I read the dialogue on the Teahouse and there are a couple of videos of Harry Volpe which show his face that have recently surfaced on YouTube, taken by someone in Florida when Volpe was was older. Will try and link to them (and yes, you were correct: they are over 25 years old). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alwayslearnedstuff (talk • contribs) 17:45, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

On This Holiday again

The article is being created at mainspace by Jax 0677. Despite my efforts to have it salted as with the draft, another admin disagreed with this. Will have to remind folks that if they want to salt drafts they should salt mainspace as well. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 03:38, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:AngusWOOF - I think that the two alternatives are to take it to Articles for Deletion and address the notability question directly, with Redirect as an Alternative To Deletion, or to ignore it. In view of the history, I think that AFD is in order. The MFD history is an argument for deletion of the article, but won't take it straight to G4. If you nominate it for AFD, I will argue for deletion. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:43, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- Draft:Eggersmann Küchen (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Onomatowoo (talk) 14:20, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Following up on declined article, for Eggersmann [Küchen]. Any suggestions are welcomed. I originally wrote the wiki as a complete story like the Bulthaup [[1]] wiki. I discovered from another editor who deleted the article immediately that guidelines had changed since the Bulthaup and Poggenpohl ([[2]]) were approved. The version that you declined was an attempt to complete the story with facts gathered from company information, clearly identifying them. Those have been removed. Each statement is now supported by one or more citations. Any "subjective" adjectives that might be perceived as "advertising" were pulled directly from the citations. If you are willing, I am open to additional specific suggestions as to how to make this article encylopedic. Thanks in advance for your help. Onomatowoo (talk) 14:20, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Onomatowoo - First, it is unfortunate that new editors often prepare a draft article by using an existing article as the example. Often the existing article does not need to exist. See Other Stuff Exists. Second, I do not normally follow an article through the approval process or work with an editor to get a draft approved. Third, do you have any connection with the store? If so, see the conflict of interest policy and make the declaration. If not, you might consider helping us with any of the more than five million articles that we already have rather than with one article that we do not have. Fourth, I suggest that you ask for further advice at the Teahouse. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:33, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I have been working on drafting an article for an American Band called Juice. They fit the criterion for musical notability, satisfying the 12th reasoning. Juice was featured on NBC's TODAY show on August 14th, 2018. The segment was televised nationally and was covered on Elvis Duran's iHeart radio program as well.

Should I indicate on the talk page for the Juice draft that it satisfies the 12th reason?

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Maclimberr/sandbox

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User:Maclimberr/sandbox, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. 7_qz (ゆっくりしていってね!) 16:12, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 09:33 10 January 2019 for assistance on Flash Pack submission by bengomori

Hi Robert, thanks for your feedback on the article and taking the time to go through it.

Was just wondering if you could clarify your comments a little bit.

Notability criteria is defined as:

A company, corporation, organization, group, product, or service is notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject.

I believe that this is certainly the case with Flash Pack. Is your concern that some of the sources I have featured contain quotes from the company founders? As opposed to the information being written by a journalist in their words?

And are you able to read all the articles that are partially hidden behind paywalls?

Thanks

Talk page comment

It isn't necessary to compare a discussion of where an RFC should be to animal waste.

Why yes, yes it is, as that would be a fairly precise commentary on the ACTION. It might also apply to your warning, considering that commenting on the action --not a person -- was exactly what I did.

Perhaps before templating the regulars, you ought to understand the actual content of the templates you're using. --Calton | Talk 14:07, 11 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Šaip Kamberi

I can not understand that at all.[[3]] Kamberi is an important person representing the interests of the Albanian minority in southern Serbia. Every article about a person is more or less a biography. See athletes, artists or politicians. Yours sincerely--Špajdelj (talk) 13:11, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Špajdelj - First, the draft has no references. Wikipedia cannot accept an article or a draft article that has no references to reliable sources. Second, not every article about a person is an autobiography. Every article about a person is a biography, and may be a biography of a living person. Is the draft written by the subject of the draft, or by someone working for them? If it was not written by the subject, then I was mistaken. Third, I will be glad to discuss any further questions at the Teahouse. Robert McClenon (talk) 14:54, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. pls keep me searching for some more references--Špajdelj (talk) 17:16, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Kruusamägi - I think that the draft will be an interesting stub, that is, very short article, if it properly identifies where the ice circle is and has reliable sources. Further discussion can be at the Teahouse. Robert McClenon (talk) 14:58, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Robert, thanks for the quick review of my draft article. Could you elaborate on the standard for notability? I included two independent journalistic sources. Also, the brand resulted in multiple awards and of course significant sales results.

My apology if I have misread edit diffs that didnt make sense to me - https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Aaroncrick&action=edit&section=275 - that is from 2010 I think - he stopped editng in 2015 - so for me https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:James_Hird seems a bit after the horse has bolted, left out to pasture, or simply vanished - from my perspective JarrahTree 06:40, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

and as James Hird exists - perhaps the draft should be put up for AFD as it duplicates what 'WP:ALREADY EXISTS' - and while you are at it - maybe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Article_wizard/version1/old/search#Does_the_page_already_exist? could possibly go as well considering it has neither category nor project tag :) JarrahTree 06:45, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:JarrahTree - I am not entirely sure that I understand, or that you understand. I declined the draft because the article already exists. Drafts go to Miscellany for Deletion rather than to Articles for Deletion. Articles for Creation drafts in draft space have a shelf life. If they are left alone for six months, they become subject to speedy deletion as G13. I haven't nominated the draft for MFD yet so that anyone can compare the draft and the article and possibly update the article with anything that is in the draft but not the article. On 15 July 2019 the draft will reach the end of its shelf life and can go to the G13 dustbin. If you want to tag the draft for MFD, however, go ahead. Robert McClenon (talk) 08:04, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ambrose Selli (January 15)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines for sports persons and athletes). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The subject does not appear to satisfy association football notability guidelines. This page has been declined or rejected as an abandoned draft. If it is not edited further within six months after it has been declined or rejected, it will be deleted as a disused draft.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

The user wrote that their "artist" (presumably the subject of the draft) has been in multiple magazines but was denied an article on Wikipedia. It seems this draft was created three weeks after the deletion of the original draft (Draft:Why Cue). The circumvention of draft-space titling is veridical. The sockpuppet's email to me might indicate there could be more waiting to make an entry.-- Flooded with them hundreds 17:21, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Flooded with them hundreds - Hmmm. No. The timing is that Draft:Jayquan Cutler has been there since before the deletion discussion. The MFD was closed on 31 December 2018. That draft was created in July 2018. If they think that the deletion was unfair, the proper procedure would have been to work through the process, but now they have to use email because they are blocked from editing due to suckpoppetry. "The circumvention of draft-space titling is veridical." The semantic content appears to be that they are gaming the system. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:47, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Quantum Psychology

Hi Robert, thank you for the comment. I posted the answer on my talk page as I am still a beginner on wiki. I think I misunderstood your comment, thinking that the article should be tagged to Willson's book's page, but reading it again it dawned on me that your comment related to a wiki process that needs to happen when a new page title comes that coincides with the book. If this is the case, then my apologies for misunderstanding and thank you for commenting. Ivannaivama (talk) 21:45, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Robert McClenon. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, Draft:Khan Bank.

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link.

hi i think the other user who created the article just 2 days back, i have started working behind the article on jan 16 of 2019, the user just use the link i have added in each and every page of the person's filmography to create the article. Thats not a fair i have done the most of the edits and now the credit goes on the other user name. can you please view history of both Draft:Pauly_Valsan and Pauly Valsan so you can see the difference. is there no value for my hard work.

Hydraulic Entertainment

Robert-

I am brand new to wiki as a writer and I seem to be having trouble with me first article that you commented on "Hydraulic Entertainment". I sent multiple submissions of the same article because i wasnt sure it sent the first time and I could not find out how to delete a submitted article. I wasnt trying to "game the system" just trying to figure it out. I am a huge fan and follower of Hydraulic. The music and film that they create give thousands of people incredible enjoyment and I want to publish an article on wiki so more people learn about what they do. This company has created an incredible amount of content in a short amount of time and I hope they continue. I will add more detail to the background section and i know that if published others will add more detail. I have added more references as requested. I am confused that the comment says if I resubmit it will be deleted? It seems I am being punished for being a newbie. I am just trying to be part of the diverse community that is wiki. I would appreciate and help here. Best user CPOlivette

(CPOlivette (talk) 15:59, 31 January 2019 (UTC))[reply]

The draft in question is Draft:Hydraulic Entertainment. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:26, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:CPOlivette - The warning about deletion is that if you continue submitting multiple copies of the draft they will all be deleted. You submitted two copies of the draft, one in draft space and one in your sandbox, in quick succession. They were both declined. It isn't necessary to submit a draft twice at the same time. The references that you added, such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Itunes, and Amazon, when you resubmitted one copy of the draft are not reliable sources. Before resubmitting the draft another time, please ask for advice at the Teahouse about what are reliable sources and about how to write a neutrally worded draft.

Aprimo

I observe one COI editor has removed a COI template while it is in draft albeit declaring a COI and then that revised draft has flown through the AfC 'Queue' in almost no time. I'm not 100% convinced it is from a neutral point of view. You previously declined this article ... Any thoughts ? Djm-leighpark (talk) 07:16, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Concern raised at WP:COIN. Robert McClenon (talk) 09:18, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for noticing the COI template had been removed. (To be fair, I probably would have approved it even if the COI template was still there as I just always sort-of assume any company article at AfC was made by a COI editor! But it's good it was replaced either way.) Since, in the intervening time, it's now been substantially edited by several other editors, however, I think it may be safe to remove it? Chetsford (talk) 19:27, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Chetsford, User:Djm-leighpark - Discussion of whether to remove the COI template a second time should be at the article talk page. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:37, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely. Just wanted to get your sense of the matter before I brought it up there. Chetsford (talk) 19:41, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Chetsford - I put the COI tag on the current version of the article, not a previous version of the article. A reasonably written article by a COI editor is an article by a COI editor. If you take the template off at this point, you will be disagreeing with my judgment that it needs the template, and I will avoid edit-warring and go to the talk page. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:01, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Got it. My understanding was the template is intended to be in place until cleanup has been effected, but if you feel it has not been adequately done I understand. Chetsford (talk) 20:08, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, cleanup cannot be effected until the neutral editors are aware that cleanup needs to be done. Your opinion may vary. I put the COI tag on as soon as we became aware that the COI tag had been improperly removed. I do not think that removing the COI tag is nearly as important as ensuring neutrality or tagging non-neutrality. If that means that the COI tag stays on longer than would otherwise be necessary, that is what happens when a paid editor removes the COI tag. And I personally think that the statement that the COI tag was removed accidentally is incredible in the etymological sense of not worthy of belief by a reasonable H. sapiens. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:36, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't disagree with you. I think we just need to be careful tags are used to raise awareness of issues that need to be fixed, not as punishment. Our ultimate goal should be un-tagged articles. With the subsequent edits that have been made to the article I don't personally consider the template's rationale ("It may require cleanup to comply with Wikipedia's content policies, particularly neutral point of view.") is still active, which is why I suggested we might want to think about removing it, but it's not a race of course so if there are specific concerns related to cleanup you still have I have no problem seeing the tag remain. Thanks, as always! Chetsford (talk) 21:10, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I am now thinking that we may indeed have completely different mindsets. I wish that I could be as optimistic as you, in thinking that there can be such a thing as a neutrally written article by a paid editor. I don't believe that our ultimate goal should be un-tagged articles. Our ultimate goal should be neutral articles, and I am sufficiently cynical to think that we can't get them from paid editors. If the article was written by a paid editor and looks neutral, we have been too quick to be hopeful that it doesn't need cleanup. I wish that it could be only a matter of waving a wand at articles written by paid editors and having them be neutral. Maybe it is only a matter of waving a wand at articles written by paid editors and having them be neutral, but I may be too cynical to realize that we have the wand. Robert McClenon (talk) 21:27, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Understood. I do think we'll have to agree to disagree. Among the 99% of terrible COI articles I've seen, I've also seen some good ones. My reading of WP:MTR is that templates are to remain on a page only until the specific issue is addressed. Your position seems to be that a COI editor should never have submitted an article draft in the first place, ergo the concern can never be rectified. While that is a valid opinion to have, I have to note it's a non-policy based expectation. For better or worse, our policies permit COI submissions through AfC and the point of the AfC process is to have a third-party evaluate submissions to see if they are acceptable for mainspace. No one has ever questioned my judgment in promoting an article before now and, indeed, I think we've had enough interaction at AfC and AfD to have developed a respect for each other's competence. In any case, I don't want to belabor the issue, so will leave it there. Thanks for taking the time to respond. Chetsford (talk) 22:00, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

DRN decision

Hi Robert,

You are correct in deducing the IP in the DRN is Prisonermonkeys. I forgot my password when I changed devices a few months ago. Ordinarily I would simply re-register with a new account, but I have had long-standing problems with a blocked editor, User:GeoJoe1000 and his many socks, most of which were created for the sake of harrassing me after I referred him to the admins for uncivil behaviour. If I were to create a new account, I would need to disclose my old identity and I am concerned that that would simply invite another wave of abuse that would spill over into articles. None of the admins I spoke to at the time had any solution except to submit SPI reports as needed, but by the time the SPI was completed, he would have created another sockpuppet which required another SPI. GeoJoe1000 has been quiet for six months or so, so maybe he has given up and I can re-register. Is it possible to do this in such a way that I don't have to disclose my old account on a user page? 1.144.104.49 (talk) 06:07, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Prisonermonkeys - That is a question for an administrator. I am not making the policies. Try asking that question at Village Pump (policy) or somewhere that there might be an administrator. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:26, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Danger Close (film)

Dear Robert McClenon,

You have declined the publication of the article for Danger Close (film) on the basis that 'This film has not yet been released, and unreleased films are only notable if production itself is notable. (Future films sometimes wind up in development hell.) This draft does not indicate that production has been notable." This is the biggest Australian feature film of the past 30 years, the last ones being GALLIPOLI in 1981 and THE LIGHTHORSEMEN in 1987 and it has a rumoured budget of AUD$25m. Many people over 30 years have tried to make a movie on the Battle of Long Tan, to no avail. One even had Russell Crowe attached in the lead. But, this movie was just completed yesterday - https://www.instagram.com/p/BtlWRClHGSo/ and https://www.instagram.com/p/Bthmhtznvd9/. It is definitely not in 'development hell'. The announcement of the film going ahead in Los Angeles in February last year with the Queensland Premiere (head of state) was huge and was on all major Australian Television, radio, print an online publications (I can provide all of these links if you want to see for yourself). The production was very notable, once again achieving wide coverage in the Australian media as it was the first major Australian war film being filmed in Queensland and the production employed real Australian military veterans as part of the crew and cast - https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-01-09/army-veterans-forging-new-careers-in-movies/10625652 and https://www.abc.net.au/7.30/army-veterans-forge-new-careers-as-movie-extras/10703866. The soon to be Australian Prime Minister Bill Shorten (federal election in 2 months) even dropped into to see some of the film last Friday at Fox Studios in Sydney. I could go on and on, suffice to say this will be the biggest Australian feature film released in Australia and New Zealand for quite a while.

--BarryCMark (talk) 12:55, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:BarryCMark - You are making statements about the movie in the wrong place, on my talk page rather than in the article. I had to review the draft based on what is in the draft, which is proposed to be seen by readers of the encyclopedia. The draft should speak for itself. If the comments that you have made above have been made by reliable sources, include them in the draft with proper attribution. If there was "wide coverage in the Australian media", say so. Revise the draft and resubmit.

You refer to Bill Shorten as soon to be Prime Minister of Australia after the federal election in 2 months. Won't the result of the election be what decides who is the Prime Minister? Do you mean that he is expected, based on polls, to be the next Prime Minister? Robert McClenon (talk) 15:21, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Tepito Arte Acá

Saludos

I just found your messages here as I do not go on Wikipedia that often. Im not exactly a newbie but Im not sure I understand the problem with the submission. The lack of sections is clear enough, but I do not understand why you state that it is written from the point of view of the organization. None of the sources are from Tepito Arte Acá... all of the newspaper articles are specifically about the organization and not published by them. Only the book and the thesis is not focused specifically on the organization, but most of the information is not from those sources. HicksW (talk) 20:24, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

HicksW, The message states it doesn't meet WP: NOTABILITY not that it's WP: PROMOTIONAL or written from the point of view of Tepito Arte Acá. You asked me if the policy had changed that articles should be approved before creation and to clarify if you are experienced in article writing then there won't be an issue but in this case it was clear it wouldn't pass AfC so it needed to be sent back to the WP:DRAFT namespace or it could have risked deletion.

Based on policy question, I'm also concerned you may have had an account before. If you have, please read this policy. RhinosF1^(chat)_{(status)(contribs)} 21:00, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@RhinosF1: Hope I am using this correctly. The idea of it being written by the organization is from what :Robert McClenon wrote here [[4]] It also says that there are no third-party sources about the topic but all of the newspaper/magazine sources meet that. As for being a sock... I started with WP while I was still in school and havent used this account for awhile. Although I am bilingual, I previously worked mostly or entirely in Spanish Wikipedia. Thus the question.HicksW (talk) 21:15, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:HicksW I did state that the draft itself (not the sources) was written from the viewpoint of the organization. That is, it restates what the organization says about itself. That is neither good nor bad. It just isn't in-depth third-party coverage. You may ask for advice at the Teahouse about what is meant by writing about what third parties have said about an organization. I have no comments on the comment of User:RhinosF1 about past editing.

DR case re: 2019 Rally

Hi Robert - just wanted to make sure I didn't ruffle feathers here. I figured there was a good chance you'd hop back on and moderate the re-open but I wasn't sure if and when so figured it made sense to point out your previous recommendations JIC the filer had not seen them.

I give up. Why are the standards different in the English version?

I gave references from reliable British and American journals and sources. What else do you want? Weird. Gee44 (talk) 14:37, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Gee44 - The draft in question is Draft:Save Europe Now. Rather than asking me about the German version, I would suggest asking the opinion of other experienced editors at the Teahouse. Other Wikipedias are less nearly complete than the English version, with fewer than 5.7 million articles, and may have easier standards about what they currently accept. If you think that the English encyclopedia should have easier standards, you can discuss that at Village pump (policy). Or you can try to tell the other Wikipedias to tighten their standards. Or you can ask other editors for their opinion as to whether I should have accepted your draft. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:52, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ciara Brady

Hi Robert, I think Ciara should have her own page, reason being, she's an important character who has been on the show since 2007. I believe the Dool characters list should be for those who have not been on the show for a long time, I.e not longer then 6 months. The page that I've created includes the detailed information which is not meant for the Dool characters list section. So if you could reconsider would be great. Thank you.--Princessruby (talk) 12:38, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Princessruby - Please read my comments at Draft:Ciara Brady. I was saying, and will say again, that my concern was not that whether Ciara Brady is a major recurrent character, but how to discuss whether to create the article. Discuss at the main article talk page, Talk:Days of Our Lives characters (2000s). I mostly agree, based on your draft, that she is at least as important as other characters who have articles. I will state that agreement if you post a Request for Comments on the article talk page. However, if I were to accept the draft via Articles for Creation, it would erase previous history and cause various problems. Discuss at the article talk page. If you have further questions, we can discuss them at the AFC talk page or the Teahouse. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:14, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thank you for your kind words. --Princessruby (talk) 16:38, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

InVision Wiki draft

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the fast turn-around on the InVision draft I will respond to your comments below.

1. I have rewritten the intro to clarify that this page is about InVision the company.

2. A better name for this article would be InVisionApp, as that is the company's web name. This is a new article. The Wiki disambuation page for InVision has no entry for InVision Company but lists first 'UV/UX Prototyping Tool', which again, might confuse readers. InVisionApp would match with the Wiki page title.

3. I am a freelance writer who was paid by InVisionApp to create this page. I have no other affiliation with the company. I have declared that in the talk page, and on my personal page. Is there anything else that I need to do?

Thanks again for your help,

Tlvernon (talk) 19:29, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Tlvernon - When you are finished revising the draft, you need to resubmit the draft. I do not normally follow a draft through the approval process, and will not be following your draft through the approval process, and I do not know whether your draft will be accepted because I do not know whether the company passes corporate notability.

Rock it science - accidental creation

Hello Robert. I recently came across Rock it science at NPP and noticed something was... off. It seems you accidentally created a talk page complete with an AFC decline notice in the mainspace as opposed to at User talk:Rock it science. I have flagged the article for speedy deletion, but wanted to give you a heads up. Best.--SamHolt6 (talk) 03:39, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:SamHolt6 - You are correct that the script was apparently behaving oddly. I tried to decline Draft:Cypress mountain as having malformed references. It appears that I did decline it as having malformed references, but that the AFC script wrote to Rock it science instead of to User talk:Rock it science. I think that you and I are describing the same sequence. I will report it at AFC as a weird bug. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:04, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:SamHolt6 - The AFC messages were intended for User talk:Rock it science, a talk page that did not yet exist, so I moved the article page into user talk space. I then deleted the speedy deletion tag. So now the user has the decline message and can fix the draft when they come back to edit. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:24, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- Draft:Oli Chang (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Thank you for your kind words. Re Oli Chang Wikipedia article I have revised the Wikipedia Article on Notability requirements for Musicians and edited the article. I have reviewed aspects of notability for Musicians such as reliable sources, determining that Oli Chang has been the subject of published works that are independent of the musician, I have reviewed Wikipedia pages that he is written about in such as Nomi Ruiz and High Highs and included links to these in the article, I have included the evidence that his music has been performed for a work of media. His Animal Feelings singles are placed in rotation nationally by Triple J in Australia, he has credit for writing music and lyrics in collaboration with artists such as Nomi Ruiz and Thief as Animal Feelings. He is an original performer of electronica as a DJ at Loveless Nights. This music is all his own writing. He is an artist who has developed a solo career post his famous work with High Highs with Jack Milas as written about in Wikipedia. I have rewritten the article in a neutral encyclopaedic tone. I have examined other Wikipedia pages of his contemporaries and colleagues such as Paris Wells and Nomi Ruiz to write in a similar manner. Thank you for re reviewing this article

TAHayward (talk) 22:52, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:TAHayward - Please do not make the case for acceptance of a draft on my talk page. The draft should make its own case for acceptance based on the text of the draft and the sources. You edited the draft, mostly to remove a few non-neutral statements, and resubmitted it, and User:Chetsford declined it, again as not satisfying musical notability. If the artist does satisfy musical notability, that isn't apparent from the draft, and reviewers must base acceptance or non-acceptance only what is in the draft and its sources.

Your draft article, Draft:KEN Holdings Berhad

Hello, Robert McClenon. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "KEN Holdings Berhad".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Home Lander (talk) 00:06, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dot points are standalone points, each should be signed.

Hi Robert,

You have a recent habit of stringing the same point, the same sentence even, across dot points. Can you please stop that. For everyone else, a dot point is a standalone point that is individually signed and may be responded to individually. What you are doing is making a mess that is difficult to parse. Single sentences should contain no line feeds, let alone dot point formatted line feeds in places that barely call for a comma.

Robert McClenon - Hi Robert, Thank you for your time to explain. So is the topic not notable, or my writing not up to standard? Sorry to bring this up, since my native language is not English. The reason I created this page is that I found Daylight Entertainment's page in Traditional Chinese (which is here), but not in English. There is only a "Category: Television series by Daylight Entertainment". So I was translating the Chinese page into an English version. When doing that, I also added new things to enrich the content. Maybe that causes some problem. So.. should I continue editing my draft...?

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Xfinity Mobile is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Xfinity Mobile until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

User:SportingFlyer - Well, the DRV was inconclusive. I don't know, but I am inclined to think that the IP is a blocked user. That explains why they don't simply create an account and move the draft into article space themselves. If the submitter were a registered user, I would advise them to move the draft to article space, and be prepared to defend it in an Articles for Deletion discussion, and I would be willing to !vote for Keep. I don't plan to go out of my way for an unregistered editor who either won't register or isn't supposed to re-register. They have a plausible case that he is more notable than he was, which is why I told them to go to DRV, rather than telling them to jump in a lake (other than that telling a user to jump in a lake is rude). (Before jumping in a lake, verify depth of lake, to determine whether to wade or swim.) The DRV was inconclusive, and a registered editor could move the draft to article space and defend it at AFD.

Thank you. I hope we can expand them with their origins and meanings.

Place notability guidelines for a historical site

"Places with protected status (e.g. cultural heritage sites) and named natural features, with verifiable information" are presumed to be notable according the wikipedia article on place notability.

Deletion history got tangled with the fictional character article. Begs the question of who is LandonCharles1 who shows up on 1 March with very first edit being the creation of the draft that was deleted as an article back in 2017 and 2016? David notMD (talk) 10:44, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:David notMD - Okay. As I thought. It was the actress and not the fictional character who was deleted, and I was right in Rejecting rather than Declining the submission. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:10, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Creating a page for Catapult Ventures

How do I make the proper declaration that I am a founder of the company, but am not paid for my work? Do I still use the

tag or something else?

I take issue with your comment about neutral point of view and citing reliable sources. All sources sited are generally considered reliable publications and are not paid advertisements in any way. Each author of each article sited is well known and generally respected in their domain of reporting. Please suggest any edits regarding neutral point of view. I have tried to construct each sentence to be completely factual and without any adjectives or verbs that would be interpreted as having positive or negative bias. Dliccardo (talk) 17:26, 5 March 2019 (UTC)Dliccardo[reply]

User:Dliccardo - The draft in question is Draft:Catapult Ventures. Does Catapult Ventures earn a profit? Do you receive either a portion of the profit or a salary from Catapult Ventures? It isn't necessary for the company to be paying you to write the Wikipedia draft if the company is paying either a salary or dividends to you. They are still paying you. You use the same tag. You say that you have made every possible effort to write neutrally, and I am sure that is true, but we at Wikipedia know that persons who are involved with a company have unconscious biases, which is why all conflict of interest edits must be tagged. I do not normally walk a draft through the approval process, and I do not know at this time whether Catapult Ventures is notable. If you have any more questions, you may ask them at the Teahouse. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:05, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Robert McClenon After reviewing the COI page Wikipedia:Conflict of interest, it seems the more appropriate tag is the general COI connected contributor tag. I have added this to the talk page of that article. I have no idea which statements you do not believe are neutral, but it looks like that comment was removed(?), so perhaps that is no longer an issue. Could you please review your remaining comments at the top of Draft:Catapult Ventures and adjust? You write "...focusing on what the company says about itself." However, all seven references are from independent and respected news publications and those citations are clearly tied to factual statements. You also write "The references are not independent." This is completey false. You also write "This draft reads like an advertisement," Could you please provide a hint to which sentence you believe needs adjustment? Generally, regarding notability, is their a general guideline for how many independence sources should be used? Would adding additional citations/sources convince you that this company is notable? Thank you. Dliccardo (talk) 05:10, 6 March 2019 (UTC)DLiccardo[reply]

Draft:List of Pokémon: Sun & Moon: Ultra Legends episodes

Hi Robert. I came across this draft while checking on non-free image use. Although you declined it on March 5, 2019, there is already an article about this subject at List of Pokémon: Sun & Moon: Ultra Legends episodes. The article was created on a day after you declined the draft from a redirect and probably still contains the same copyvios you mentioned when declining the draft (it looks like a copy-paste move). What do you suggest doing here? CSD? AfD? WP:DRAFTIFY makes no sense since there's no need for two drafts. Anyway, whatever is done probably should be done soon since any additional editing of the article is likely going to create more work for whomever cleans up the copyvio. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:19, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Colandro

Hello Sir,

This is my first effort at creating a page for a public figure in my community, that doesn't have a wiki entry, yet. I only pasted what I have from a charity dinner that gave accolades to prominent benefactors, so I can see why it seemed promotional. I just wanted a jumping off point for the article, so I could revise based on a timeline. I didn't intend for the article to be promotional. If you could please reenter the deleted info. I can rewrite the article this evening and get it back in your hands by tomorrow for a more academic review.

Thank you for your consideration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gun4Hyr (talk • contribs) 15:09, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Gun4Hyr - I see that you moved a copy of the draft to your sandbox.

itel Mobile

Dear Robert, thank you for reviewing my sandbox and leaving me comments. Sorry for bothering you due to submitting the sandbox. I wanna say this draft is totally not an advertisement and written in the same way that other mobile phone brands did, such as OPPO, vivo and Tecno. It just contains the basic information of the company, the business area, the achievements and the expansion history. And the product part is a list of each series and basic specs with no promotional words. OPPO did the same part on its pages. These things are all mentioned and reported by independent reliable media coverage (CNN, Counterpoint Research, Indian Express ), no make-up statements. I am confused which sentence let you feel it is an advertisement. Please help to point out and give me some advice, thank you! Pumkin Ding (talk) 08:29, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I declare that I am not financially involved with Soundwalk Collective or Stephan Crasneanscki.

editors? or non-editors?

Hi! R u sure, that this edit took sufficiently into account, that there was no real discussion of my arguments, and that the so called "editors" obviously have no psychology/philosophy expertise (e. g. on my "rabies" argument they reply with "Xanadu" and "Xenu" (whatever that might mean... for me it is just nonsense or non-science respectively...)...)? I mean: is trolling enough to b an editor? Thx. Bye. --Homer Landskirty (talk) 04:36, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Homer Landskirty - Anyone who changes the content of a Wikipedia page is an editor. Third Opinion is intended to be used to resolve article content disputes, and this was not an article content dispute, but there had been more than two editors involved, that is, more than two accounts that posted to the Reference Desk and changed the content of Wikipedia. A non-editor is a reader who does not change the content of a Wikipedia page. Trolls are blocked for disruptive editing. Can asking questions about trolling be a form of trolling? Robert McClenon (talk) 05:48, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

regarding ur question: ur question seems to be trolling and a threat... mine not... 2. i still doubt, that improper replies can be considered "editing"... could u, pls, elaborate, how that "Xanadu" and "Xenu" replies r "editing"? the other replies are questionable, too, because: they say that WP just has to copy&paste from governmental (or similar) sources, even if the source is demonstrably wrong and contradicts itself in the same paper... :) i would like to read ur opinion on that, 2... furthermore it _was_ and is demonstrably a dispute about demonstrably wrong article content... 3. currently it looks like, WP just pushes a governmental opinion and even adds some even worse nonsense (e. g. "suicide" in addition to "intent"...)... --Homer Landskirty (talk) 06:56, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Homer Landskirty, every single person (without exception) who has modified Wikipedia in any way has made an edit, and is therefore a Wikipedia editor. They may be a bad editor, or a vandalistic editor, or a malicious editor, but they are still an editor. If you want to be taken seriously as an editor, then please use conventional English here like "you" and "your", not "u" and "ur". Though it may be unfair, those non-standard formulations make you appear ignorant and we expect conventional English from productve Wikipedia editors. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 07:34, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

1. that seems 2 b another problem: u want me to hop through that type-all-the-unnecessary-letters ring... it is highly unnecessary 2 do so... 2. WP:3O would be highly useless, if a bunch of sockpuppet/trolls/XenuFans/XanaduFans is considered 2 b an editor... 3. so while u use words that neither a jurist nor u can or want to understand in an article, u want me to type in a certain way and u tell me a lot of other useless details and waste thereby my time... 4. i wonder if that is really what WP wants... 5. is there something like a WP-court-house or so? --Homer Landskirty (talk) 10:34, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Draft

Hi Robert McClenon, I hope all is well. I see you rejected User:Julia VanDevelder/sandbox/Jodie Markell as the page already exists (they left me a message on my talk page). If you look at their edit summary, they are a COI editor and per the message I left on their page yesterday they were trying to make an edit request. One of the suggestions from the COI welcome Template was that they create a subuserpage for their edits and have someone review it. Based off this, I believe they were just asking a neutral editor to review it. I don't have time right now but if you are able to re-review the draft, would you be so kind to? They have been very kind and understanding so far. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 17:12, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:HickoryOughtShirt?4, User:Julia VanDevelder - There is a common idea that Articles for Creation can be used to propose new versions of existing articles. This is a reasonable concept, but is not the way that AFC is used. It is used only for the review and acceptance of new articles. If Jodie Markell's agent wants to propose changes to her article, they can request them on the article talk page, Talk:Jodie Markell, or use the {{edit request}} template.

I am writing to you about your message to me which said, "Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was: This is a user page and not a draft."

I agree with you that it is actually a user page. I had erroneously thought that I needed to submit my user page for review and approval also. Clearly, that is not the case. My mistake. I will submit a new article for review soon, which is not a user page type. It appears that I may be auto-confirmed now since I have met the 10 edits requirement. Thanks for your help.

Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard - University of Pennsylvania - Evolution from a Commuter School to a Residential University

Can you help me find someone who can explain why the "in Progress" Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard - University of Pennsylvania - Evolution from a Commuter School to a Residential University has disappeared? Thanks! Wa3frp (talk) 14:21, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Wa3frp - That discussion has been archived. It was more than two weeks old and had no activity in 48 hours. There is a Do Not Archive Before date, which is by default set to fourteen days after the filing date but can be manually tweaked. A thread is archived if it passes that date and is silent for 48 hours. It appears that that case had consisted almost entirely of your comments, and those can continue at the article talk page. However, if you want the case unarchived and restored to the project page, and if the moderator User:Coastside is still willing to watch over it, I can unarchive it and you can resume adding comments. I don't see restoring the case as useful, but it isn't harmful either. I suggest going back to the article talk page, but I can fish it out of the archive if you and the moderator want. Robert McClenon (talk) 14:42, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the clarification and for your help. I was waiting for a reply from the editor who had started the dispute by deleting the paragraphs in the article. However, I will follow your advice and move this back to the Talk page and see what happens next. Wa3frp (talk) 15:05, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Robert for the explanation of the archival. I thought the discussion was very constructive and didn't realize it was about to get archived. Sometimes it's helpful to have the discussion on the DRN in that it keeps the focus on content vs. behavior. In this case, the editors were doing well to move things forward productively. I support continuing on the talk page, and if more help is needed, perhaps an RFC would help. Best regards. Coastside (talk) 15:28, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

NPR Newsletter No.17

Hello Robert McClenon,

News

The WMF has announced that Google Translate is now available for translating articles through the content translation tool. This may result in an increase in machine translated articles in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to use the {{rough translation}} tag and gently remind (or inform) editors that translations from other language Wikipedia pages still require attribution per WP:TFOLWP.

Discussions of interest

Two elements of CSD G6 have been split into their own criteria: R4 for redirects in the "File:" namespace with the same name as a file or redirect at Wikimedia Commons (Discussion), and G14 for disambiguation pages which disambiguate zero pages, or have "(disambiguation)" in the title but disambiguate a single page (Discussion).
{{db-blankdraft}} was merged into G13 (Discussion)
A discussion recently closed with no consensus on whether to create a subject-specific notability guideline for theatrical plays.
There is an ongoing discussion on a proposal to create subject-specific notability guidelines for chemicals and organism taxa.

Reminders

NPR is not a binary keep / delete process. In many cases a redirect may be appropriate. The deletion policy and its associated guideline clearly emphasise that not all unsuitable articles must be deleted. Redirects are not contentious. See a classic example of the templates to use. More templates are listed at the R template index. Reviewers who are not aware, do please take this into consideration before PROD, CSD, and especially AfD because not even all admins are aware of such policies, and many NAC do not have a full knowledge of them.

NPP Tools Report

Superlinks – allows you to check an article's history, logs, talk page, NPP flowchart (on unpatrolled pages) and more without navigating away from the article itself.

Hi Mr. McClenon. I’m not sure if you remember me, but you once reviewed an article I had submitted. The article in question was Ragazzi di Livonia in my sandbox, an Italian gang. There has recently been some “mob drama” following the assassination of some top mafia figures, and I was wondering if you could help get my article approved while this new found interest in Italian crime is around.

Suspected sock in WP:AfC

Hey, have you noticed the recent articles around foreign relations of Vietnam and Jordan? The conversational edit summaries are reminiscent of User:Abdelkader123456, who was banned for Copyright issues.

User:Bkissin - There are multiple entries in draft about Vietnamese foreign relations. I will check them. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:40, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Bkissin - Quack, quack. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Abdelkader123456. There are three drafts where the titles were previously stubbed down to redirects after edits by Abdelkader123456 were redacted. I am not 100% sure about it either, but I am 99.9% sure about it. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:45, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Bkissin - I see that you added another IP address that is being used by Addelkader123456. There probably isn't much that can be done. The addresses can be blocked for between a week and a month, but IP addresses shift anyway, and it isn't to the point where a range block will be used. When the socking is confirmed, I will request deletion of the drafts as G5, the work of banned editors, except for the one that you accepted. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:42, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I won't interfere with another reviewer helping you. Robert McClenon (talk) 21:49, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, could you atleast help me understand what's the problem with my COI article as you have mentioned. Thanks.Nwalavalkar786 (talk) 13:22, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, As you had mentioned, I have moved my COI from user talk page to article talk page. Let me know if there are any more changes before the draft is moved to articles section. Thanks. Nwalavalkar786 (talk) 14:41, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

AfC notification: Draft:REAL by FAKE has a new comment

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:REAL by FAKE. Thanks! Robert McClenon (talk) 03:52, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Robert, thank you for your comment. I am wondering why is my filmography too long? I am using the same presentation format that other companies are using, such as this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNEG. I would like to know why is their filmography not too long? Thank you for your collaboration. Best regards! Tyler Durd (talk) 17:07, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Tyler Durd - First, their list of awards is also too long, in my opinion. Second, your filmography is longer than theirs. Third, see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Out of 5.7 million articles, not all of ours are good. It is a very common mistake for a new editor to look at one existing article and assume that it should be used as a model for another. Maybe it should, and maybe it shouldn't. Please ask for further advice at the Teahouse. Robert McClenon (talk) 21:30, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

AFC refusal, created, now at AFD

Hi. FYI. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Osmodrama ..... I can't see has advanced since your AFC refusal. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:04, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:In ictu oculi - Thank you for letting me know. I will research it and will !vote. I expect to !vote Delete, but want to be well-informed first. Robert McClenon (talk) 14:30, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:In ictu oculi - I have done enough research to !vote. In view of the Kickstarter listing being the main mention that I found, it doesn't appear to be original research so much as promotion of a technology. If the issue were whether to delete the article on the technology, I would !vote Keep, only because the idea of some such technology has had a conceptually neat quality at least since I was a boy. However, primates have comparatively poor senses of smell compared to other mammals, which may be why the technology is still in the conceptually neat category. More later.
