New Pages Patrol newsletter January 2023

Hello BD2412,

Backlog

The October drive reduced the backlog from 9,700 to an amazing 0! Congratulations to WaddlesJP13 who led with 2084 points. See this page for further details. The queue is steadily rising again and is approaching 2,000. It would be great if <2,000 were the “new normal”. Please continue to help out even if it's only for a few or even one patrol a day.

2022 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2022 cup for 28,302 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 80/day. There was one Gold Award (5000+ reviews), 11 Silver (2000+), 28 Iron (360+) and 39 more for the 100+ barnstar. Rosguill led again for the 4th year by clearing 49,294 redirects. For the full details see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone!

Minimum deletion time: The previous WP:NPP guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification and WP:BLAR). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in the feed are now highlighted in red. (As always, this is not applicable to attack pages, copyvios, vandalism, etc.)

New draftify script: In response to feedback from AFC, the The Move to Draft script now provides a choice of set messages that also link the creator to a new, friendly explanation page. The script also warns reviewers if the creator is probably still developing the article. The former script is no longer maintained. Please edit your edit your common.js or vector.js file from User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js to User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft.js

Redirects: Some of our redirect reviewers have reduced their activity and the backlog is up to 9,000+ (two months deep). If you are interested in this distinctly different task and need any help, see this guide, this checklist, and spend some time at WP:RFD.

Discussions with the WMF The PageTriage open letter signed by 444 users is bearing fruit. The Growth Team has assigned some software engineers to work on PageTriage, the software that powers the NewPagesFeed and the Page Curation toolbar. WMF has submitted dozens of patches in the last few weeks to modernize PageTriage's code, which will make it easier to write patches in the future. This work is helpful but is not very visible to the end user. For patches visible to the end user, volunteers such as Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have been writing patches for bug reports and feature requests. The Growth Team also had a video conference with the NPP coordinators to discuss revamping the landing pages that new users see.

Nomination of Let Her Burn for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Let Her Burn 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/Let Her Burn 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.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

Bedivere (talk) 01:12, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

I have replied in the discussion. The idea that an album on multiple "most anticipated album lists" from reliable sources will fail notability is not very well-taken. BD2412 T 01:40, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

WP: BASIC vs. WP: ENT

Greetings - I'm still working on my Draft: Reya Sunshine (and definitely not submitting until any post-AVN coverage has a chance to happen), but I've been cruising through some of the deletion discussions on porn bios. It seems to me that WP:BASIC and WP:ENT are often mentioned in the same breath by many editors, but they also seem like different standards. WP:BASIC seems harder to achieve, but once accomplished, conveys "presumed" notability. WP:ENT, however, seems much more achievable in comparison:

Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions; or
Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment. (Previously #3)

WP:ENT doesn't seem to require "significant coverage" the way WP:BASIC does, it just seems that whatever sources conveyed the information in 1. and 2. of WP:ENT would have to be reliable. For example, for the AfD of Emily Willis, it seems like an argument could have been made that she met WP:ENT for her participation in multiple films that received AVN or XBiz awards (granted, this probably would have had to be in some "best film"- style category. I'm not trying to re-litigate that action or anything, but have you ever witnessed a decision that was along the lines of "doesn't meet WP:BASIC, but meets WP:ENT due to X, Y, and Z? Ajax0714 (talk) 01:38, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

The products of the industry as a whole are generally considered non-notable. We have tens of thousands of articles on films, and only a handful on pornographic films. BD2412 T 01:42, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

Got it - how about the second line of WP:ENT, 'Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment,' have you ever seen a porn bio use that to justify notability? Ajax0714 (talk) 01:50, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

Yes, but only where there are non-industry sources on the subject (e.g. Veronica Hart). Look at Category:American pornographic film actresses for useful precedents. Other articles I have worked on in this space with similar non-industry coverage include Monique Alexander and Ariana Marie. BD2412 T 01:55, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

Awesome, thanks for the link!! Ajax0714 (talk) 01:59, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Amie Donald (January 9)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Slywriter 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 on the notability of people). 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:

Sourcing appears to be focused on the trailer and upcoming movies promotional tour materials, interviews.

Lack of in-depth coverage of the actress herself.

Likely WP:TOOSOON

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Amie Donald and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Slywriter (talk) 22:14, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello, BD2412! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Slywriter (talk) 22:14, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

Yes, I wasn't sure of this myself, that's why I submitted rather than just moving it over. Cheers! BD2412 T 22:38, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

Just came here because was reviewing my AfCs and realized you were the editor. I going to ask if I missed something in the references, but your response shows AfC working (or at least I didn't break this one) Slywriter (talk) 04:39, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

It's an edge case. The LA Times reference goes somewhat more into the subject and her history/contributions to the film than the others, but it is still fairly weak. However, I can't imagine this will remain the case for long, given the buzz around the film. Cheers! BD2412 T 04:41, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Brilliant Idea Barnstar
	You are so helpful and supportive Dinah5667 (talk) 03:35, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Well, I don't know what I've done to deserve this, but many thanks! BD2412 T 03:42, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

IP talkpage blanker bot run

MalnadachBot Task 13 has made tons of progress after 6 months continuous run at 25 edits per minute. At 6.5 million edits till now, this has been way above my initial estimate of 2 million pages. This task has shot the bot past the 10 million edits mark, making it the first account to reach this milestone. Blanking non-blocked IPv4 talkpages older than 5 years is mostly done. Much of the remaining ones are IPv6 which are harder to filter blocked ones out, so will be slower. Per query/67404 there are still 551k inactive talkpages of inactive IPs, including IPs which are currently blocked. I guess at least 350k of them will be blanked by the time IPv6 is done. Then it will be matter of periodic runs to cleanup newer ones. ಮಲ್ನಾಡಾಚ್ ಕೊಂಕ್ಣೊ (talk) 14:45, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

That is quite a remarkable and historical feat! BD2412 T 17:58, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Question, re: "blank" AfD nom

Question: What's the proper procedure for a "blank" AfD nom, like this one?... FTR, I don't believe this new editor is operating in good faith (or, at the least, is clueless) – Julianna Guill is an occasional vandal target, and I get the feeling that this is another one of these. FWIW. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 02:07, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

In this situation, I would just finish the nomination (basically create the appropriate template with the note that "an editor has placed an AfD tag on this article without providing a reason"). It will probably be WP:SNOW kept within a few days, after which a renomination would be considered disruptive. BD2412 T 02:10, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
