Request on 17:05:29, 11 May 2021 for assistance on AfC submission by Orphix3

Clarification on validity of sources and number required, specifically with regard to declined article: Draft:Adjy

I was unaware that press releases count as trivial information, but upon review of the rules I see the specific mention and also the logic behind the rule.

When I compile the list of anything resembling non-trivial coverage I have only a few, and I need help identifying their usability:

  • 1. An interview published in issue #53 of Substream Magazine (Sep 2016), which I can only access in print. [1]
  • 2. A review of the 2016 EP on Indie Vision Music. [2]
  • 3. A review of the 2016 EP on Sputnikmusic by a Staff Writer. (I did not include this in the first draft) [3]

Aside from databases like Allmusic, Dicogs, Musicbrainz, lyrics databases like Genius etc.

I'm assuming the entry on the subject of their lyricism is also too free. I thought by referencing the source text (and treating it like a primary source) would be acceptable in combination with the references and coverages elsewhere.

Am I correct in thinking now that all I can really reference is the reviews of the records themselves, and all "history" information or "music and lyrics" insight needs to come from those same sources?

Orphix3 (talk) 17:05, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, unfortunately reviews and interviews are not independent, reliable and secondary sources. Furthermore, notability is not inherited, hence even if the EPs were notable, it wouldn't automatically imply the band is notable. You can read more about band notability at WP:BAND and about general notability at WP:GNG. At this moment I'm not seeing a pass of either. nearlyevil665 17:13, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I see. I looked at the articles for bands in similar circles-- Free Throw (band) and Annabel (band) -- for a kind of template. But I see that the coverage by sources like Pitchfork, Stereogum, and Alternative Press, and A.V. Club is considered notable there? That would make a kind of intuitive sense. The only thing I'm confused about is that the majority of sources in both of those articles seem like reviews and interviews. Are those things only clear to be used after the minimum notability criteria is passed? Orphix3 (talk) 17:22, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I would be careful looking at other articles as a sort of benchmark, see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Hundreds of articles get tagged every day because they fail to demonstrate notability. For a non-exhaustive list of good sources, see WP:RSPSOURCES.nearlyevil665 17:26, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I think it might be helpful for you here (regarding CSD G4 Nominations and AfD in general): User:Writ Keeper/Scripts/deletionFinder.js CommanderWaterford (talk) 18:41, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Submission declined | Karzan Hisham


Hi, the person I write the article is a youtuber and a popular and famous phenomenon in his own way is called a reputation in tiktok and instagram, therefore I think that an article is suitable for an article, if there is a mistake and an error article, please let's make a mistake to correct it. I guess there is a mistake from me and I don't know Nedved2021 (talk) 10:42, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, the references in the draft article do not provide a pass of WP:GNG. It is irrelevant if the subject is popular or has a reputation, what matters is that there are multiple WP:RS that cover said subject in secondary sources. nearlyevil665 10:48, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, just a comment - 10 seconds of google search, inserting the Google Scholar Link et voila... ;-) Is sometimes easier and faster at AfC (or NPP as well, of course). Keep up the good work! CommanderWaterford (talk) 20:56, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, definitely, but I want to be fair to everyone and as far as I know AfC is reviewed on the merits of provided references and there is no obligation for reviewing outside references, unlike NPP. I did actually find the Google Scholar for the subject but who knows, maybe there is a name coincidence of a sort. So I'd really rather leave it for the author to provide, at least while I'm a trial AfC reviewer! But definitely will be more proactive as I'm more confident. nearlyevil665 05:28, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
CommanderWaterford, on a relative note, could I get a second opinion on Draft:Nicola_Whitton? Would it be reasonable to say that five publications with over 100 citations is a pass of WP:PROF? I usually expect at least 200 citations, but not sure if this field is a high-citation one. nearlyevil665 08:29, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Nearlyevil665 You can use @Novem Linguae essay as a rule of thumb here User:Novem Linguae/Essays/Nuances of SNG#WP:NACADEMIC (G) CommanderWaterford (talk) 08:32, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Nearlyevil665 I would also suggest taking WP:NPP School if you are interested in. You could try to ask User.Atsme or User:OneI9569 if they have slots available. It is a tough training but afterwards you feel much, much more confident with our policies. CommanderWaterford (talk) 08:33, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Super useful, thanks. Based on that, I feel comfortable accepting. BTW, I'm nearing the completion of my NPP course. nearlyevil665 08:35, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 12:43:23, 19 May 2021 for assistance on AfC submission by Ervare


Hello Nearlyevil665. I was trying to fill the gap in this article. You see the red line on Sergius Both https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_W._Franke

Ervare (talk) 12:43, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, unfortunately the mere existence of a red-linked subject doesn't indicate that said subject is notable. You still have to demonstrate through multiple reliable secondary sources that the subject passes Wikipedia's notability requirements or other subject-specific guidelines, in this case WP:AUTHOR. As of now you have provided only primary sources and this isn't sufficient for a pass. nearlyevil665 12:52, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Nearlyevil665, could you kindly make some suggestion on my article. I work for the company and this is my assignment.

Mridula Mukhia (talk) 11:27, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, the draft was already deleted as unambiguous promotion, so I assume it was not written from an encyclopedic perspective and instead read like an advertisement. Furthermore, I see that you have not made the proper disclosures as a paid editor, which you are obliged to. Please read WP:PAID and make the proper disclosures before writing and submitting another draft, otherwise you might be blocked. nearlyevil665 11:37, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thank you for the message. Unfortunately I don't speak German and I don't feel comfortable reviewing the new sources and establishing notability. I would thus abstain and let another editor make the review. nearlyevil665 12:40, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"European Photography"

Dear nearlyevil665 - in order to address the issue of notability (or other) that has prompted your support for deletion of this article on a significant long-running academic journal, can you please set out your reasoning? I'll make improvements accordingly. Perhaps the issue is calling it "European Photography" rather than "European Photography (magazine)"? That's easy to change. I've chased up links to it in other articles sop now "What links here" turns up plenty. Thank you for your advice, Jamesmcardle(talk) 06:23, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for the message. The very beauty of AfDs that everyone gets to chime in, especially with their subject matter knowledge.

However, templates are allowed to come through AfC, as are disambiguation pages. See this section at the project page. Also, 9 times out of 10, formatting is not a valid reason for declination, as these types of issues are usually quickly fixed in mainspace by other users or can be easily fixed by yourself (that is referred to in this section).

Hi! Is there anything I can do?

Hi! I recently published the page about Fantech (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Fantech), Draft: Fantech , which is a notable gaming company. I've included credible third party (non-English) sources, as well as two sources about a major controversy involving the brand (in English). The controversy was met with a large amount of coverage and views online. May I ask, what other sources/types of sources shall I include to make this appropriate for Wikipedia?

I've checked the guidelines and I believe the references meet them, as they are from independent, notable, and unaffiliated sites. I did include a reference that is to their "About us" page, as I've seen other articles do that. If that is the reference that isn't allow, I can remove it! :)

Thank you! Sorry for the trouble.

LythPython (talk) 10:50, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thank you for the message. I declined the article as I couldn't find Wikipedia:SIGCOV in multiple reliable, secondary sources that aren't trivial or run-off-the-mill. The controversy bit reads like a one-off event. You are of course free to resubmit if you don't agree, I will let another reviewer give it a shot! nearlyevil665 11:32, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! I'll double check everything, and will fix what I can! The controversy section, it was a very notable event that happened involving them, and had major repercussions for that streamer and happened over the course of a few months. Might be the biggest dramatic thing that happened involving the company, haha. I'll do my best to check out some other articles and see how they phrased it. Thank you for the feedback! Have an awesome day and stay safe.
EDIT: Do you think it would be better to move the controversy content into the History of the company? I see the some articles have done this, as to not make a separate section based upon one event. LythPython (talk) 01:36, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I would not say that makes any practical difference towards establishing notability. It would be purely stylistic at this point. nearlyevil665 05:24, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Rali Mampeule question

Please can you explain to me why the Rali Mampeule article I have submitted is not "independently verified"? It contains six external citations to publications of which 3 are major South African daily newspapers and one is the local version of GQ Magazine. I am unclear how one should possibly cite more reliable sources than this, or why an entry about the very first black South African to become the owner of a real estate agency and who last year launched a major UN partnership at Davos should not be considered newsworthy. This seems slightly biased or racist against African news sources and people? Can you please explain? I am not sure how to improve this situation if references to legitimate South African news sources are considered insufficient.

Draft:Cerebral (company)

Hi Nearlyevil665. I was hoping to get more input on Draft:Cerebral (company). It has citations to in-depth articles in Bloomberg, WSJ, and the Los Angeles Times. Your contribution history infers you spent less than one minute on it, which is not enough time to have accessed and reviewed the paywalled citations that form the basis for notability. I can provide pdfs of the paywalled citations if you have a minute to review them against the notability criteria. Parisrosaries (talk) 21:08, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for the message and sorry for not being able to reply in detail. The decline was based on perceived run-off-the-mill coverage about raising funds or valuation indexes. Also I'd be careful inferring reviewing practice through the contribution history - everyone has their own approach and it wouldn't be out of the ordinary for someone to glance through your draft submission and get back to it a later time for a final review. You are free to resubmit and another reviewer will take a look - I'm not in the position to do so now due to health reasons. Best of luck! nearlyevil665 05:25, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for the message. Wikipedia requires significant coverage of the subject in reliable and secondary sources.

Request on 14:58:13, 17 July 2021 for assistance on AfC submission by Kees3125


Hello Nearlyevil665,

Thank you for your comments on the draft article. I see the problem with it, so I did some more research, and found more information, and a book about Jacqueline Hick.

I revised the draft, using material from the book, adding references to the book and to galleries/museums her work is at, and rewards and honors awarded to her.

She is also mentioned in eight other Wikipedia articles already, and I cross-referenced to a couple of them.

Would this suffice to show 'noteworthiness' and does this provide sufficient reliable, secondary sources?

Thanks.

What matters is that the subject has significant coverage in multiple reliable and independent secondary sources as per Wikipedia:Notability or subject specific notability requirements, in this case Wikipedia:ARTIST. I don't see how the current references provided meet these requirements. If you think I'm wrong, I'd advise reading those guidelines and resubmitting, I will recuse from a re-review. Best of luck! nearlyevil665 15:03, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

New page reviewer granted

Hi Nearlyevil665. 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. signed, Rosguill talk 21:21, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Article submission for Rajdeep Bailung Baruah

Hi Nearlyevil665, I NEDMGroup (talk) 17:22, 19 July 2021 (UTC) tried creating a page for a notable journalist here in our land. It was declined, and I understand it to be the lack of credible references. So, were the Assamese news pieces talking about him and his achievements problem? Should it be only in English? Shall I try a submission in Assamese language instead of English?[reply]

Looking forward to your reply,

Hi, thanks for the message. You need multiple reliable secondary sources that provide significant coverage about the company. I cannot help you obtain such references; the onus is on you to search and include them in the draft. Please see Wikipedia:Reliable sources and Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). nearlyevil665 07:57, 21 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Generation Lab -- Declined Article

Hey there! Thanks so much for your feedback on the Generation Lab draft article. You mentioned that the references I used do not demonstrate "significant coverage" of the Generation Lab but rather represent "just passing mentions." Although the articles I cited only reference the Generation Lab once, the entirety of the article revolves around the data that the Generation Lab provided to them. The data collected by the Generation Lab was exclusively provided to Axios and as a result, the article would not exist without the Generation Lab's contributions. Let me know what you think and if you have any advice. Thanks so much!

Hi, thanks for the message. It is irrelevant for the purpose of establishing notability what data produced by the Generation Lab was used by a third-party. You need to provide multiple independent secondary sources with significant coverage of the Generation Lab, and not simply references to byproducts of its work used by other sites. I'd suggest reading WP:GNG. Best of luck! nearlyevil665 19:41, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Page mover granted

Hello, Nearlyevil665. 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.

Rollback granted

Hi Nearlyevil665. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when using rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! - TheresNoTime 😺 12:09, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Diana Burnwood Deletion

Hi, On a recent article I posted about Diana Burnwood you tagged it for deletion, under the reason she's a tertiary character and doesn't qualify. Burnwood has appeared in nearly every game to date, and in some games has over fifty minutes of dialogue. She had the Hitman comic series developed about her parents' loss, was the most related to Agent 47, etc. How is she 'tertiary?' She was very important i most of the games.

Draft:Impaakt Submission declined on 17 August 2021.

Hi,

Thank you very much for reviewing my work and for your help. I really appreciate it.

I am part of the Impaakt community and I was searching for Impaakt on Wikipedia. Since I could not find an article about the platform I thought that initiating one could be interesting for the experience and because Impaakt and Wikipedia work on the same model. Moreover, I hoped that more experienced Wikipedian would contribute to my article.

While searching, I found this page: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impak_Finance about a similar company. However, I struggle to understand how it was possible that this article was published: (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impak_Finance) and that mine (Draft:Impaakt) was rejected. In fact both articles look quite similar. Do you know the reason?

Would you have any additional advices to help me get my first article published on Wikipedia? Is there a way for me to get contributions from experienced Wikipedians on my Draft:Impaakt ?

Once again, thank you very much for your help and your time.

Best-

New Page Patrol newsletter September 2021

New Page Review queue September 2021

Hello Nearlyevil665,

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.

To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here. Sent to 827 users. 04:32, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Request on 04:19:05, 27 September 2021 for assistance on AfC submission by TheBandShirleyFan


May I request for a reconsideration of my submission on the grounds of the subject having significant coverage in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. The following articles featured the subject extensively: Modern Parenting and Esquire Magazine.

Let me also add that I included citations to the academic articles written by Dr. Rica Cruz published in a peer-reviewed journal. May I know if these are considered "published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject"? In the guidelines for determining notability, it specifically says for academics, which Dr. Rica Cruz is, "Many scientists, researchers, philosophers and other scholars (collectively referred to as "academics" for convenience) are notably influential in the world of ideas without their biographies being the subject of secondary sources."

I would also like to ask how to improve the article since the subject has proven notability mostly in social media. References that suggest this are in the form of video recording of shows that are aired on national TV. Again, according to the guidelines on notability of entertainers, the subject has also had significant roles in multiple notable television and radio programs, and made prolific contributions as a journalist in several online media platforms. I wonder how these could be referenced in the article to improve it.

Thank you!

TheBandShirleyFan (talk) 04:19, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Academic publications by the author himself are primary sources, not secondary. Furthermore, articles where the subject is mentioned in a trivial manner or where the subject is expressing opinions in an expert capacity do not qualify as a pass of notability. We need reliable sources that cover the subject, not sources where the subject expresses their expert opinions. As to your point about the subject meeting Wikipedia:NENT, I don't see how the subject meets it.

Requesting help for Draft:Pontem Network

Hi, I updated the submission with more 3rd party reliable sources such as Nasdaq and Yahoo, although I'll caveat some of these might be redundant probably coming from the more niche news sources themselves. I believe there might be a lack of in depth coverage by mainstream reliable sources as this is a niche industry so I would please ask you to review the more niche cryptocurrency sources in depth and judge for yourself that they are more in depth than the mainstream ones.

I am coming from the community of this crypto project and the outcome is to have a wikipedia page even if just a stub so they can submit for a verified blue check mark on twitter so that users of the community don't get scammed by fake accounts.

Could I maybe request for a second opinion perhaps from the cryptocurrency working group to examine this submission?
