Draft:Supergirl (season 2)

After reading your comments there, I must say I think you haven't read what Robert McClenon wrote. The draft also reads, "Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at Supergirl (season 2) instead", but Supergirl (season 2) is a redirect at the moment. I am not going to perform a cut-and-paste move, because as per Mr. McClenon's suggestions, I should instead go for a consensus. But achieving that seems as easy as finding Bigfoot. Matt14451 showed his support for the draft entering the mainspace, as did AussieLegend over here. Sadly, Brojam and AlexTheWhovian opposed because, as of 21 September, they felt the draft wasn't comprehensive enough. Even though I have substantially expanded the draft since, they are yet to give their view on the revamped draft. Shall I click resubmit anyway? Because the draft has greatly been expanded since the last submission, and I'm sure the AfC reviewer will have a different opinion this time. --Kailash29792 (talk) 05:48, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

User:Legacypac - User:Kailash29792 is right. You confused things by declining the season 2 and season 3 drafts on the grounds that they already exist. They do not exist except as redirects. I am sure that you are making a good-faith effort to deal with the list of drafts whose names are the same as those of articles, but I think that you misunderstood the guidelines, and, as a result, I think that you need a trout. I told the proponents of putting the season 2 list of episodes in mainspace to obtain consensus. If there had been consensus, I would have shuffled the redirect off to Buffalo and promoted the draft and then tagged the redirect for deletion. So please be sure that you aren't referring to a redirect as an article. It makes things even more confused. Robert McClenon (talk) 07:20, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
I already read and agree with Robert's comments on the draft about seeking consensus. Please reread my comments about the better way to create these pages. If you want to work in Draft to build the page out, that is fine. Just copy over the desired text onto the redirect when you are ready. Seek deletion of the Draft. AfC has no role here. If an AfC reviewer copies the Draft text over the redirect we create an attribution problem. If we try to move the Draft to mainspace we have to seek deletion of the title, wiping out whatever history it has (perhaps history of how it was the source of the combined article, or that there as been previous attempts to split or whatever). If an AfC reviewer requests a redirect be deleted an Admin may well decline the request because the Draft content is already covered in the target. Further if AfC gets the Draft into mainspace we have no way to ensure the other editor does the removal of the material from the parent page - the other part of the split. It is just better if one editor does the split without involving AfC, and yes the topic is covered at the redirect target. Sorry the canned decline can't be changed which is why I tried to explain a better way to do the split. Legacypac (talk) 08:14, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
So cut-and-paste moving is the way to go? Very well, once I click resubmit AfC (which is after I've gained a consensus, at least the approval of Alex and Brojam) and the new AfC reviewer accepts, I'll do such a move, then request for a history merge. Kailash29792 (talk) 08:55, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
An AfC reviewer "accept" involves moving it to mainspace. You don't need AfC, which is for new editors who can't technically create new pages or are not confident. You are not new and you don't even need to create a new page. Copy what you want to mainspace and do the split in the mother page if you feel you want to and that no one will try to reverse you. Legacypac (talk)
User:Legacypac - I am aware that you are campaigning to have AFC abolished. The fact that you don't like AFC and want it brought to an end shouldn't be a reason for giving biased advice to editors who, for the time being, are trying to use AFC. In this case there is a good reason for using AFC, which is that the split does appear to be contentious. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:04, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
I don't want AfC abolished - not sure where that idea comes from. I do favor restricting new accounts from creating any new page by broadening WP:ACREQ. How is AFC going to help if this split is contentious? AFC is not the arbitrator of which articles should or should not be split. Legacypac (talk) 17:15, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
User:Legacypac - If you don't want new users to be able to use AFC (and I think that allowing them to use AFC is a harmless way for them to do stupid things), then what do you want it used for? I hope you don't intend it to be primarily for conflict of interest articles and autobiographies, because COI drafts are the other class of stuff that is expected to go through AFC, and that is burdensome to the reviewers, who are being pushed to write a neutral article about a company that doesn't warrant an article.

Your comment

Thank you for the comment you left on Big Green draft. How does one write as if "you dont care" about the topic? Is there a hard and fast rule for that? can you please provide some tips? Does placing quotes (of any person involved in the topic) make an article sound TOO PERSONAL? Gmli82164 (talk) 21:39, 9 October 2018 (UTC)Gmli82164

New Editors

On the Internet, no one knows when you are being sarcastic. You and I know that you and I are both being sarcastic about the clueless self-serving editors. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:28, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

The difference between the non-notable garage bands and the non-notable autobiographies is that the band articles at least are structured like Wikipedia articles and are in good syntactic and semantic English. The non-notable autobiographies aren't always even in sentences. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:28, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

Buniayu Cave moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Buniayu Cave, needs to be formatted according to the Manual of Style, in particular the sections on section headings and images. You may also find it useful to consult (read: copy) a few other articles about caves that are correctly formatted, such as Sistema Ox Bel Ha, Jewel Cave National Monument, or Optymistychna Cave.

When you feel that the article is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. signed, Rosguill talk 04:32, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

I approved that page from Draft under AfC. MOS is not a requirement for mainspace, it is a nice to have. Moving it back to draft where is was going to be deleted for inactivity is not how the page is going to formatted correctly User:Rosguill Legacypac (talk) 04:36, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
Apologies, it's the first article that I've run into that so blatantly didn't even attempt to look like a wikipedia article. signed, Rosguill talk 04:39, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
I suspect the creator is from Indonesia and may not be very familor with building articles. It came up on my watchlist because it was tagged for deletion due to no one working on it for 6 month. It will be fixed in mainspace. Legacypac (talk) 04:42, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

Biased & hate

Beside hates what you can do ? You just deleting everyone wikipedia , you just put tag on our page without reason , did you see how many hours we spend to write article ? This has notable links , newspaper , magazine but you have put speedy deletion this is such a shame. SiddiqFarooq (talk) 09:14, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

I do a lot of spam cleanup. What are you talking about "our page"? This is not a place to write about yourself or your pet project. Legacypac (talk) 09:17, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

Yap i had link my social media on my user page because i didn't knew that it's not allowed & i had removed it already but why deleting my page ? Wikipedia is based on notability i have added notable links with the help of my team. DJ Kamal Mustafa (talk) 09:35, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

No your profile page was deleted by an Admin as SPAM. You had not removed social media links and a solicitation for people to contact you about your music. Feel free to discuss the merits of keeping your Draft page at the deletion discussion page - discussion runs for a week. I would urge you to tell your staff not to insinuate that I, or all Wikipedia volunteers, hate Muslims or Pakistani's, as your associate has already done on the deletion discussion talkpage. Editors come from all over the world. I have many followers of the Prophet in my family and I assuredly do not hate anyone make decisions based on the religion or nationality of other editors.

Hi Dear legacy here you're wrong if you check log i had removed social media link right after your warning message then after 5 minutes the page got deleted so accept my apology on that on behalf of my team too. DJ Kamal Mustafa (talk) 09:55, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

Second thing you said that my article is not notable & I'm promoting myself which is not right kindly check 2 years old wikipedia & the links :) after two years i have added 7 new magazine , newspaper & tv channel url which you have declined as well without even reason. Thier is a page of a newspaper here known as ummat newspaper kindly search my interview was there , but you have declined. I was featured in mtv chart you have declined , i was featured in ary news tv channel ( my film) which you have declined. I was featured in magazine you have declined , i have added urdupoint newspaper link which was declined. If everything is going to be declined then explain to me what is "notability". DJ Kamal Mustafa (talk) 09:58, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

The place for this discussion is at Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/Draft:Kamal_Mustafa_(DJ). The decision will be made there. I can't even withdraw the deletion nomination at this point. Also DJ Kamal Mustafa your username is promotional and therefore against policy. You will need to change it. Legacypac (talk) 10:03, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

User:SiddiqFarooq DO NOT delete things from my talkpage - like this whole section. Do not delete notices of MfD discussions. Do not accuse me or other of racism. If you continue with such bad behavior I will seek to have your editing rights removed. Legacypac (talk) 10:19, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

I saw the ANi. Seems more likely they are the DJ and an associate, but the page will go down at MfD without difficulty. Maybe they will get bored and wander off. Legacypac (talk) 03:25, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

Draft:V. P. Balagangadharan

Hello the title name is misleading. Metropolitan areas typically refer to areas of contiguous urban development which usually contain a dominant city (but in some cases several) and smaller towns which share a spatial relationaship. The articles appears to list city's not metropolitan areas. The latter are typically much smaller.

Hello, Legacypac If you feel Draft:V. P. Balagangadharan is good to go, can I go ahead an publish the same? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scenecontra (talk • contribs) 06:40, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

Clarification request

Hi Legacypac, I am a bit confused with your comment on this draft. Are you opposing a move? " We can't accept the without getting an admin to remove the page at the target title, so can move this page there, which is undesirable..." I am finding your statement (in context, this line specifically as well) somewhat ambiguous. If so, Supergirl (season 2) might be of interest to you as it is currently CSD'd to make way for said move (commented out now, while I get to the bottom of this). --TheSandDoctor Talk 21:56, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

I think I was able to figure it out. G6'd. --TheSandDoctor Talk 22:30, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
I beleve the editor is going about these article splits incorrectly. The titles already exist as redirects. They should overwrite the redirects and remove the split content from the mother articles. They should not be trying to get these approved via AfC. Legacypac (talk) 23:43, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
They are going about it a little oddly, but there's nothing wrong with how they're doing it, provided they give the proper attribution. They haven't, and so I have done so and will ping the page creator so that they know for future reference. Primefac (talk) 02:09, 15 October 2018 (UTC) (talk page stalker)
@Primefac: Attribution was done with these two edits: [1] [2]. - Brojam (talk) 02:12, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
Ach, my bad. I tend to forget to check the edit summaries for attribution. Either way, it's on the talk page now. Thanks for setting me straight! Primefac (talk) 02:20, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
Attribution is one possible issue, getting the split only half done is another. Deleting the history of the mainspace page to make way for a move from Draft is not ideal. Going through AfC is also very slow when AfC is not necessary. Legacypac (talk) 02:24, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
User:Primefac User:Legacypac User:TheSandDoctor - Well, I was the AFC reviewer, and I didn't see anything wrong with using AFC for the purpose. It was true that they were trying to game the system by telling me that one more editor amounted to a consensus to split, and that was wrong. I did think that declining the draft on the grounds that the article already existed, when it was only a redirect, was confusing things further. Legacypac - By telling them that the article already existed, when it did not, you were, in good faith, encouraging their idea that they could use G6 as a way to accept a draft, when we know that G6 isn't an acceptance method but a deletion method. Legacypac: Please don't confuse efforts to split articles by saying that a redirect is an article. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:28, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
We are a little constrained by the wording of the "exists" response. The title exists but as a redirect. The topic exists at the target of the redirect. So yes it exists. Therefore I see no role for AfC in dealing with the Draft. Anyone is welcome to use Draft to work up a page split before placing it into mainspace, but AfC should not be endorsing or doing the split when that is something that can be done boldly or after seeking the agreement of other interested editors. We should be dealing with new topics not playing judge over what should or should not be split off. Legacypac (talk) 17:37, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

Draft:William_Michael_Boyle

Thanks for your speedy attention to this draft. I am curious as to why you think this one falls short of the bar, please.

The sourcing here is all independent (no interviews with the subject).

It is high-level, starting with the New York Times and continuing with major French and English national news organs.

Plus, these are not passing mentions, with the exception of the George Pelecanos name-check in the Times. (The NY Post review is a paragraph within a group.)

I could understand why another recent submission of mine (Tom Pitts) warranted firmer sourcing...but here it's higher-grade. Rory1262 (talk) 18:20, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

Desmond Doss

Non-notable children per Infobox person#children. You can create the article first. - FlightTime (open channel) 02:19, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

Notable enough Google brings up its own profile on him. Numerous interviews due to Hacksaw Ridge. Not inclined to write up a separate page on Jr because his notability stems from his relationship to his father, and therefore he is best covered on his father's page. I notice you are way over 3RR on the page, taking out info that is already in the body of the article with a source but claiming it is unsourced. That unnecessarily annoys IP editors. You claimed unsourced, now you are relying on a suggestion on an infobox parameter, not a policy. I suggest leaving well enough alone and moving on to something more important. Did you have anything to do with getting the IP blocked for 72 hours? Legacypac (talk) 02:26, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

WP:UAA reports on users with no edits

Generally, there is no reason to report usernames with no edits whatsoever. Per WP:UAAI: "Wait until the user edits. Do not report a user that hasn't edited unless they are clearly a vandal. We do not want to welcome productive editors with a report at UAA, nor do we want to waste our time dealing with accounts that may never be used." The exceptions are obvious hate speech or names that attack a living person/Wikipedia editor, those are blockable even without any edits, but other run-of-the-mill violations need not be reported unless and until they at least attempt to edit, and you should be able to clearly explain what the problem is if it is not immediately evident.

For whatever reason, every day dozens, if not hundreds of accounts are created that never make one single edit. It is our responsibility as admins to conscientiously review every report a user makes at UAA, so we have to check for contribs, deleted contribs, and tripping of the edit filter for every one of these reports, only to find out there's nothing there and therefore no problem to be solved. That's time that could be spent doing more productive things, but you basically obligate admins to do it by making such reports. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:15, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

Backlog

As of 21 October 2018, there are 3650 unreviewed articles and the backlog now stretches back 51 days.

Community Wishlist Proposal
Project updates
  • ORES predictions are now built-in to the feed. These automatically predict the class of an article as well as whether it may be spam, vandalism, or an attack page, and can be filtered by these criteria now allowing reviewers to better target articles that they prefer to review.
  • There are now tools being tested to automatically detect copyright violations in the feed. This detector may not be accurate all the time, though, so it shouldn't be relied on 100% and will only start working on new revisions to pages, not older pages in the backlog.

Hi Legacypac, I am Trace Cheung,a translation student of Western Sydney University. I was asked to do the translation task in Wikipedia before the due date October 22,2018, the source text I found was "Shadow(2018年电影)" in Chinese. Here is the link: https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%BD%B1_(2018%E5%B9%B4%E9%9B%BB%E5%BD%B1). At that time, no one has done the English Wikipedia page in this subject. Therefore, I decided to translate this source text into English. But I just found that someone had made the English Wikipedia page in the same subject when I was doing translation. Because the page I made was completely the translation version of that source text, is it possible for me to create another English Wikipedia page about "Shadow (2018 Film)", even though someone has done the article in the same subject? Trace Cheung (talk) 03:02, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

We can only have one article on a given subject. You can merge the info or replace the current page with a better version. Thank-you for doing the translation. You don't need AfC approval to modify the existing page. Legacypac (talk) 03:14, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

NCORP

I hope to work with you in reworking this guideline. For my current ideas on another & more radical approach to the overall problem, see my brief presentation at Wikiconference North America a few days ago, at [3] . It was your argument at the current AfD & my residual discontent with my position at other recent ones where you argued similarly, that led me to realize my current interpretation needed to be rethought; it was in connection with other discussions earlier in that meeting that led to to the recent presentation on the past Saturday. (not that what I proposed there is an immediately practical solution. ) DGG ( talk ) 05:06, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

User:DGG I'm thinking about this. If we strengthened WP:LISTED and referenced it in WP:NCORP would that be a good path? Legacypac (talk) 03:16, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
As a start, sure, but I'm thinking a little more about trying to include multiple factors that would normally make for notability, or make for non-notability. DGG ( talk ) 02:31, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi Legacypac. I saw that you moved Queen Naija (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) from draft space. Can it be moved back? The amount of work it needs seems substantial. I'm happy to go into detail if you'd like. --Ronz (talk) 16:18, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

I recall a deletion criteria about an article needing a complete rewrite from better sources, but I'm not seeing it at WP:DP, so I guess we're ok. --Ronz (talk) 20:33, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

Draft:George T. Frampton

I don't really get why this one is languishing in draftspace. All the other recent chairs of Council on Environmental Quality, a presidential appointement requiring Senate confirmation, appear to have articles. He was also president of the Wilderness Society, a clerk for a Supreme Court Justice during Roe v. Wade, assistant special prosecutor during Watergate, an author, a partner at MAJOR and influential law firms. I haven't really delved into much a search for sources but his marriage got 2 New York Times articles and it seems like there's plenty out there such as his role in opposing Robert Bork's Supreme Court nomination and accusing the judge of lying about his activities as Solicitor General during Watergate. Not my entry but at least it should get a hearing at AfD if it's going to be excluded IMHO. FloridaArmy (talk) 04:07, 27 October 2018 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) If you feel like it qualifies, why not mainspace it yourself? AfC is not a binding contract. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 04:23, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
He is under an inapproproate restriction. It seems to me much of the junk gets declined quickly then the harder cases get left unaccepted forever. I find I can accept a high proportion of the very old pages - perhaps others are afraid to accept good/needs work for fear of making a mistake? Legacypac (talk) 05:34, 27 October 2018 (UTC)

Hello Legacypac. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of User:J.delanoy/U suck.

Draft:Rein B. del Rosario

Hi Legacypac, Ok I'll find more references to support my article but I'm afraid it will came just from the other websites. As the company was included in their list of accredited firm. But saddening the company has not yet been written by the other articles and news. Because the company is a third party sampler of the Department of Environmental and Natural resources in the Philippines from the pubic sector. Hence it's kinda strict for the company and the like to do so much campaigns and so on. Anyways as I said I'll try to find more references as much as I can for this article to be accepted. Thanks!(Rein Del Rosario (talk) 23:31, 28 October 2018 (UTC))

Draft:John Waterman

Can this be merged to the John R. Waterman House article? Or at least created and redirected so the article history is available? Seems borderline notable to me on its own but a merge would seem a reasonable outcome. Not my draft but I edited it a bit. FloridaArmy (talk) 16:57, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

I'll accept it and you merge. Legacypac (talk) 19:10, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
Sounds good to me. Maybe redirect after you accept it pending the merge since two people.have weighed.in that they don't think he's independently notable. FloridaArmy (talk) 22:53, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

Arvi Johannes Hurskainen

Would you mind taking another look at Arvi Johannes Hurskainen? The article contains some bold claims, but the references don't hold up at all, and a Google search is turning up nothing. I'm wondering what you saw that I'm not. Thanks. Bradv 04:31, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

Problem 1 the refs were not displaying correctly. Fixed that. This page supports some of the content [4]. The "Knight First Class, The Order of the White Rose of Finland 2005." jumped out as a significant award from his government for lifetime acheivement. Legacypac (talk) 04:41, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
That link is something he wrote himself, and the "Knight First Class" reference [5] doesn't even mention the subject. I can't find reliable sources for any of these claims. Bradv 04:45, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
Given most refs will be in Finnish... you think it is a fraud? Happy to move it back and request better refs. Legacypac (talk) 04:57, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
I'm not sure it's entirely made up, as there are some scholar sources [6]. However, these are not enough to satisfy either the GNG or PROF, and most of the content is completely unsourced, so it's puffery at the very least. It should go back to draftspace if we think there's a possibility it's notable, or it needs to go to AfD for a definitive answer. Bradv 05:08, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
I switched to desktop where I can translate sources. Searching the subject's name brings up numerous academic sources confirming his senior position, citing his work, tying him to Swahili and other machine translation etc. He sure seems notable, even if the provided sourcing may not be the best. I really doubt this is a hoax or exaggeration. Given he retired 12 years ago, what would be the benefit? Legacypac (talk) 05:21, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

Draft:Point of Graves Cemetery

Another editor has denied this submission and marked it as not notable seemingly prohibiting it from being resubmitted for review. Seems manifestly notable to me and one source covering it just this year says it's the oldest cemetery in New Hampshire. Please let me know if you have any suggestions on how to proceed. FloridaArmy (talk) 19:15, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

That was a very bad decline. I've approved the page and will spot check some other declines by that reviewer. Legacypac (talk) 19:21, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
The oldest in New Hampshire bit was added after the decline. But still.. And I hadn't experienced a page marked Not Notable so it can't be resubmitted before.FloridaArmy (talk) 19:22, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
Even without the oldest fact added it should have been accepted. The Reject template is just an opinion and is not binding. I invented an early version of it for times when someone needs to be told firmly to stop submitting their promotional or nonsense pages. It builds a case if someone continues to push for inclusion of crap we can say we told them to stop when the page hits MfD. Legacypac (talk) 19:30, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

Thanks Again, FlyingPanzer (talk) 16:26, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

Try searching Google News you might find some newspaper coverage. The solid wall of department pages is offending people. If this was a Fire Department of a City, I might consider merging it with the City's page but this is a District which means it is not controlled by another entity or necessarily covers the same geography. Legacypac (talk) 16:31, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

Legacypac, next time you accept a draft article, please first check for copyright violation. This article was copied nearly verbatim from the fire district history page. I doubt it would have survived AfD otherwise (a redirect at most), but copyvio is a basic check for drafts. Fram (talk) 07:40, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

I check every draft I accept with earwig. You are wrong about notability - evidently you did not read the talkpage because you did not comment there. Various AfC reviewers discussed and agreed it was notable there and elsewhere. How convinient you both allege a copyvio amd delete it AFTER your PROD was declined. Legacypac (talk) 07:44, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
"Various AfC reviewers" being you and one other. Anyway, I'll start a new section lower on this page to discuss your dealings with copyvio at AfC, as there seem to be recurring problems with it. In general, Earwig is easily fooled, and you shouldn't hide behind it. It's a first step, not the only step one should take when checking for copyvio. Fram (talk) 08:13, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
No there was another discussion on an editor talkpage. There is no recurring problem with copyvio - I just handle a lot of pages and copyvio is hard to catch sometimes.
