WP:AFC Helper News

Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.

• AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
• The template {{db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to {{db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.

Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future. Cheers, Primefac, via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:00, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Ravenholm

The article Ravenholm you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Ravenholm for issues which need to be addressed.

Your GA nomination of Ravenholm

The article Ravenholm you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Ravenholm for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

The Walking Zombies 2

Sir, please check and approve my draft if you find it suitable for an article on Wikipedia. Its name is [Walking Zombie 2].Billapartygang123 (talk) 09:22, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

Backlog needs help

Would you mind looking at the older entries in Wikipedia:WikiProject_Deletion_sorting/Fictional_elements? Some are being relisted due to nobody commenting... _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:26, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

@Piotrus: I commented on one of them that you made. That said, since Andrew D. has been topic banned, there is not quite as much of a necessity to send everything to AfD lest any bold redirect be reverted. I would try to keep AfDs to a minimum if you could otherwise redirect characters to their parent article for lack of notability, which would also fix the participation issue for minor articles. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 09:17, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

Thanks, although I meant all of the discussions in general (I try to check that and similar lists once per week...). Anyway, yes, I am trying to do PRODs, as I dislike bold redirects which are IMHO a 'sneaky deletion'. I'd rather propose a redirect in my PROD (if it makes sense, sometimes there is nothing to salvage). Arguably some PRODs result in hard deletion instead of redirect, but that's just the laziness of the deleting admin... sigh. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:25, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello Zxcvbnm, I need help wanting to get this article submitted for Wikipedia. But it's getting declined :( So can you please tell me what I need to do so I can work on it to get this article submitted? - Cheers, OttergamingYT aka bingus worshipper — Preceding unsigned comment added by OGxSLAY3R (talk • contribs) 19:50, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

@Ottergaming YT: Some games are just not acceptable under Wikipedia's rules of WP:GNG at the current time. It keeps getting declined because it has insufficient mentions in what Wikipedia recognizes as reliable sources, a.k.a. the mainstream gaming press. It is highly unlikely that it will be accepted no matter how indepth the article is, so I suggest moving on to something else. It is always possible that in the future it will receive sufficient notability for an article, see WP:TOOSOON. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:55, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

Alright then :(

I'm currently working on a new article called "Blades of Brim" Which I hope can get accepted.

@Ottergaming YT: Generally speaking, the first check for modern games should be Metacritic. Notable games are usually on it, and have at least several reviews from outlets that are listed on WP:VG/S as reliable. If a game isn't on Metacritic, it may still be notable if you can find several significant mentions that are at least somewhat indepth as a review.

Blades of Brim does seem (just barely) notable, with the Gamezebo, Pocket Gamer UK, and 148apps review, the latter is known as kind of "iffy" but does have an editing team and seems to generally be acceptable. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:09, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

I have it drafted but not ready for review yet, as the references I'm trying to add are all blocked, mainly because I'm using my school computer. So if I have time I can upload the references through my phone.
