AfDs

Hello, GiantSnowman,

Reviewing the day's AFD discussions is now on my end-of-the-day task list and I think I've seen you participate in nearly every recent AFD discussion about football players. My guesstimate is that you opt for "Delete" about 75% of the time and "Keep" in about 25% of the discussions I look at so unlike some other participants, you seem to eavluate each case individually and not have a generic response to the bulk of these nominations. Some editors seem to say "Delete" or "Keep" in 100% of these cases, seemingly to make a point about recent changes in notability standards for athletes.

I appreciate your consistency and your willingness to spend time reviewing all of these many nominations that have been forth over the past two months. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:49, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

Thanks Liz, I appreciate it. I think I'm one of the rare people who wanted to keep NFOOTBALL but accepts that it has gone and non-notable stubs need to go as well. GiantSnowman 10:43, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

Mika Biereth

Hello GS, please help me.

I created Draft:Mika Biereth on 29 July. However, 31 hours later, another user created a page in the user space on 30 July, and then moved it to Mika Biereth on 31 July without taking the draft version to consideration. Please see the page history. So I can't move Draft:Mika Biereth to Mika Biereth now.

I find this user has did something similar recently. This user created three pages (Corey Addai, Nohan Kenneh & Cieran Slicker) that you have already created in draft in your user space. I am assuming this user tried to get the credit for page creation.

So can you merge Draft:Mika Biereth with Mika Biereth? Thanks! --Phikia (talk) 09:33, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

I'm very sorry, I forgot to ask you to merge Draft talk:Mika Biereth with Talk:Mika Biereth. Please help me again. Thank you! --Phikia (talk) 13:57, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Draft talk:Mika Biereth has already been deleted. (G8: Talk page of a nonexistent or deleted page) Thanks! --Phikia (talk) 15:15, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi GS, would you be able to do the same with Draft:Belal Halbouni and Belal Halbouni. The above that happened on the draft I created back in June as well. Looks like they did it with many draft articles. Thanks! RedPatch (talk) 21:59, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Kamome Shirahama

Why did you add the dmy dates tag to Kamome Shirahama? Since Shirahama is Japanese, she doesn't have any strong national ties to an English-speaking country, so the format used in the first non-stub version (which was almost exclusively mdy dates, as can be seen here) should be retained.

If you want to change to MDY then feel free. GiantSnowman 19:27, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Nathan Trott

I read on the West Ham website that Nathan Trott now wears number 25. Players | West Ham United F.C. (whufc.com) 83.216.138.98 (talk) 07:45, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

Your edit was not clear; there was no source or edit summary provided, hence why you were reverted. GiantSnowman 17:59, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

User:Jypas1986...

...and his WP:CIR issues (i.e. copyvio). Pablo García (footballer, born 1977), here we go: 1 - adds an unref'd stat chart (in there, they eventually say Atlético Madrid B played in the Segunda División RFEF, a competition that was created 25 years later!! see here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pablo_Garc%C3%ADa_(footballer,_born_1977)&diff=1036719345&oldid=1035194771); 2 - for the 1,0000000th time, added unsourced YOUTH honours for PAOK (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pablo_Garc%C3%ADa_(footballer,_born_1977)&diff=prev&oldid=1043335240); 3 - for last, the more serious: adds a direct quote from the player (in SPANISH!), then does not source it (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pablo_Garc%C3%ADa_(footballer,_born_1977)&diff=next&oldid=1043336526)!!

Attentively, you have been briefed 2001:8A0:767B:9C00:EC11:4592:C740:E9A7 (talk) 19:04, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

• Incredibly, am not being able to provide diffs for items #2 and #3 (beats me why, i copy/paste the pertinent diff and when i check it again it's all wrong), but both are from 9 SEPTEMBER 2021, thus you shall be able to find them easily. --2001:8A0:767B:9C00:EC11:4592:C740:E9A7 (talk) 19:10, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

  Yes, those edits are at best bizarre, at worst vandalism - but one of them is from 12 months ago! Anything recent that merits action now? GiantSnowman 20:28, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

From this user and in this article, no more sir. Will brief you if need be in the future. --2001:8A0:767B:9C00:1CBF:30FE:225D:8CDF (talk) 01:32, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
