Draft for "List of Epic Games Store free games"

I disagree with your remark that "Wikipedia isn't a catalog / promotions tracker like that." It's the same type as lists for Xbox Games with Gold and Playstation Plus Instant Game Collection games:

The list for Epic Games Store gets requested a lot, and there's no permanent and public record of it.

Also, what's wrong with its references? Those are all well-known gaming websites and news sources. And how would you recommend that I fix it? If you're not familiar with gaming or tech websites, perhaps we should get someone else who is familiar with gaming sources to review approval. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HSukePup (talk • contribs) 06:06, 22 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

HSukePup, discuss it at the talk page for the Epic Games Store. You'd also need to show that video game articles are keeping running lists of the entire weekly offering. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 06:09, 22 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
When I was correcting some references on that list, I did come across this running list of weekly game offerings, here: https://progameguides.com/lists/epic-games-store-free-games-list/ - since december 12, 2018. DreamPhreak (talk) 02:14, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
DreamPhreak, doesn't seem like a site that would make the WP:VG/RS. Most of the WP:VG regulars have chimed in on the talk page. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 02:23, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Tina Antolini

Many thanks for taking a look at the Draft:Tina Antolini article, much appreciated! I've done some additional tweaks, and hopefully it's a bit better now.

Regarding Wikipedia:THREE, for three sources to show notability, what about these? They aren't published by the subject, or institutions she's worked at, but do contain interview quotes, so perhaps not ideal.

Kj cheetham (talk) 15:29, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Kj cheetham, the Atlanta one is like 2/3 Q&A so it would be considered primary, so it doesn't say much about her career other than that she became a story producer at Pop-Up. It doesn't go into her past and such. Food and Wine's a little better. It focuses on her work with SFA / Gravy podcasts and mentions her school background briefly. It also lists her age. The Gazette one doesn't detail her life as much as it could, but it makes the Gravy part more notable, and that section should be built up and mentioned in the lead paragraph along with Pop-Up and other major work. I was hoping there would be more like the UMass and Hampshire writeups but not so directly connected from the school. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:28, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Kj cheetham, also you can discuss some of her awards into the biography section since they are related there. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 20:25, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
AngusWOOF I'm assuming the UMass/Hamspire ones are effectively press releases, given she's an alumni. I'll do a quick bit of further online searching in the coming days to see if can find any more actual news articles. Good idea about the awards. Many thanks, Kj cheetham (talk) 20:42, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Some more articles to consider: AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:19, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

AngusWOOF Much appreciated for all your assistance! I've done some further edits. Is it ready for mainspace yet? Kj cheetham (talk) 12:32, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Kj cheetham, the sections need more detail, like what specifically does Gravy cover? What is the format of the podcast? What is the feedback for the show. Same with the others. Was there a particular episode she was noted for producing / reception for that? The authoring of the book can also be expanded with critical reception. I dug up some good background information on how she's connected to Stanford. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 02:26, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Draft: Paul J. Tesar

January 3, 2020: Hi AngusWOOF, thank you for your helpful feedback for construction of this draft. The changes have been made and references improved to include news articles rather than primary citations. Please let me know if it now fits Wikipedia standards. Thank you- Marissascavuzzo (talk) 20:33, 3 January 2020 (UTC) Marissascavuzzo[reply]



January 22, 2020: Hi AngusWoof, I just noticed you had tagged some components of the page to be fixed but by the time I had seen this someone else had already edited to fix. Please let me know if this looks ok and if the article is ready for approval. Thanks so much. Marissascavuzzo (talk) 23:38, 22 January 2020 (UTC) Marissascavuzzo[reply]

Draft:Mahatma Gandhi Central University protest

Sir, I have contributed to the article "Mahatma Gandhi Central University protest using my username "Rohitmishra001". But the article was deleted due to copy right issue. Now, I am unable to login using the above mentioned username and getting notification "login token is expired". Thaat's why, I created the same article using my other username "Rohitmishra01" in my own words removing all the copied text from other sources, yesterday intially it was accepted for article for creation after few hours it was declined by mentioning "Article is not written in neutral point of view". Both usernames are of mine. I used the second username to create the page when I was unable to login using my first username. So, could you please help me out ? Thanking you.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Mahatma_Gandhi_Central_University_protest --Rohitmishra01 (talk) 05:39, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rohitmishra01, the main issue with that article is that you have a conflict of interest on it, so it needs to be scrubbed by a neutral editor not connected to the topic. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:44, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]


Sir, I request you to go through the link/reference which I have given. If you found anything non-neutral or biased please tell me the way to delete the page. The whole India knows about the "Mahatma Gandhi Central University protest" and why it was happened. Earlier I created the same article using my other username and fortunately it was accepted for the article for creation but some unknown users copied text from references and added in the article that's why the article was deleted due to copy right issue. I didn't get enough time to fix it and afterwards I was unable to login using the same username. I created new username to write the article again and this time I removed everything that was copied and write it in own words. It was declined by mentioning" article needs to be scrubbed". It took almost 3 months to collect the information and references to write the article. If you want to get information about previous same article. I'd love to share it to you. As we know Wikipedia has always been playing a vital role in letting world know about the important things across the globe. Hope this time Wikipedia will include one of the India's largest public universities protest to it's space so the whole world may know about it. Therefore,you are requested to go through any link/ reference if you still found anything non-neutral please let me know the way to delete this article forever. Fortunately, if you don't find anything non-neutral in article please accept it. We'll continue to improve it daily. Thanking you.--Rohitmishra01 (talk) 07:07, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rohitmishra01, let me see if someone at WP:COIN can help. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 14:48, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]


Please tell me the way to delete this draft article. "331dot" has sent the previous text as baseline which was accepted as the article for creation, earlier. So, the article would be rewritten in a neutral way. Neutral editor will scrub the article so that it would be published. They will rewrite / unbias the article. Thanking you--Rohitmishra01 (talk) 14:58, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rohitmishra01, I see that 331dot deleted the article in the mainspace because it had copyright violations, and then emailed you an earlier reference article. But according to 331dot's talk page, you are requesting that so that YOU can rewrite the article. That's not a neutral editor. Who are you getting to scrub the article?

T. Rafael Cimino

Hello AngusWoof,

We are a Public Relations agency that represents actors/actresses. This gentleman created a Wikipedia page for himself and falsified shows/movies that he worked on that he did not. I edited the page to remove the inaccurate details, but he keeps undoing my edits. None of the sources he has provided proves that his information is valid. Please advise how to fix this so he cannot keep adding false information/information without a source, which goes against the guidelines of Wikipedia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T._Rafael_Cimino

Thanks! TPRINC (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:03, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

TPRINC, If it's unsourced or poorly sourced (goodreads, IMDb), you can delete it, but ensure in your comments that this is the correction you are doing. If it's decently sourced, as with The Black Dahlia entry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VKRC82Jim0 that shows him as Executive Producer credit, you can leave those parts alone. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 01:28, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
TPRINC, I'd also change your username so you are representing just one person. Group accounts aren't allowed on Wikipedia. See WP:ORGNAME AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 01:30, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi AngusWOOF,

Thanks for your help, I will change my name immediately. That Youtube link to The Black Dahlia film, if you watch the trailer, it does not list him as Executive Producer. He posted the trailer on his personal Youtube channel and his name is nowhere in the trailer. He simply added his name in the description of the video.

TPRINC (talk)

TPRINC, oh, I see it's a YouTube account that pretends to be Lion's Gate. Nevermind. Yes, you can remove those. It's different if it were a reliable source from the actual Lion's Gate. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 01:39, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
TPRINC, you should also declare your COI for the articles that you're connected to as per WP:DISCLOSE. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 01:40, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi AngusWoof,

Thank you for your help. I have deleted the inaccurate and false information twice, but he keeps going on his page and undoing my changes. How do I prevent this from happening?

TPRINC (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:42, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You can try a discussion at the talk page. If he reverts too many times, we can warn him for edit warring / vandalism. As an aside, Is there a better source for the Miami Vice and other show credits? I don't see his name in the closing credits for the show episodes, so I need a source to confirm his crew role as a Marine Director or Marine Coordinator. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:09, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
TPRINC, I noticed that Praxidicae has scrubbed out all those filmography entries too, so hopefully what is left can be rewritten into a decent biography, perhaps as an author. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:11, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You,for your time — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.9.191.133 (talk) 09:14, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Drunk Tunes charting is for the entire album, not for the particular song / track. That isn't enough to establish notability as a WP:COMPOSER or for WP:MUSICBIO. There are way too many other name drops. You need news articles that focus on Mall G himself. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:03, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Janice Perry peacock tag

Hi. I can't figure out what merits the peacock tag on the Janice Perry article. (I edited it when I reviewed the article; maybe it's something I added.) The editor who wrote the article has not had a lot of success around here. Her talk page is littered with declines, and this is the first article that has been published. In the interest of encouraging a new user, can you edit the article to get rid of the peacock language and remove the tag? Thanks, and glad to have a reason to leave you a message/say hello - we've been crossing paths on WP for a while. JSFarman (talk) 01:02, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And then I actually read WP:PEACOCK and now I get why you tagged the article. I don't have time to do the fundamental rewrite/research that would be required at the moment but I will leave info about clean-up on the editor's talk page. That said, I think that tag is bitey -- particularly for new editors -- and we should have a gentler version that assumes good faith. JSFarman (talk) 16:02, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
JSFarman, yes, it's bitey but a lot of newcomers create articles that intend to promote their subjects and end up making them read like those resume profiles that you see at the bottom of journals or as profiles in conventions. Basically anything that leads with "award-winning" is prime for peacock tagging. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 19:59, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Draft: Refugees in Towns (Project)

Hi AngusWOOF, I really appreciated your comments and have gone through and substantially increased references to reliable outside sources. I hope this one is good enough to resolve the issues you outlined, and once again, thank you for your help and hope you have a happy new year!

G12 declination

I declined the G 12 you placed on Draft:MAMMOTH (Nuclear Software). I believe the source material qualifies as public domain. Let me know if you consider that and you think I've missed something.

If I'm reading correctly, the declination of the submission was solely based on the copyright concern. I think there are a lot of problems with this draft (see the talk page of the editor for another example), but unless I've missed something, copyright issues are not one of the problems.--S Philbrick(Talk) 20:57, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sphilbrick, see my response on editor's page. I think the WP:PD part applies. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 20:59, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Approved draft!

Hello, AngusWOOF! I would like to thank you for your approval of my draft @ Draft:List of awards and nominations received by Deadliest Catch. It's much appreciated. Cheers and happy 2020 to you! CYAce01 (talk) 04:11, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

CYAce01, no prob. Thanks for making it straightforward to approve with the referencing. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:01, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Annette Thomas

Hi. Since your evaluation earlier today I've added more cites and some content to Draft:Annette Thomas. Do you think it now shows enough notability for me move to into a stub article? I'd organise it better into basic sections, add dates, and generally ce it further first - but there would be no further evidence of notability. It fits in well with the WP:WikiProject Women drive, so I'd quite like to do that. Rwendland (talk) 17:28, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rwendland, the verbiage still needs to be converted to something more time specific. Change "living the past 25 years" to since (year), and put a year on the medal for the Yale part. It should also explain when she became a board member for the various organizations. The best would be to list out the WP:THREE best external news sources in the AFC review section that cover her life that aren't coming from her organizations. Make sure those aren't press releases or passing mentions of her position changes. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 14:41, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Rwendland, this looks like it is in mainspace now. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:43, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Joseph A. Camp

Are we about good with this awesome article -that you help tremendously on?

As you will see if you check out the Ballotpedia page, Joseph has completed all requirements for access to the 2020 General Election Ballot for the House and Senate Campaigns and he will be on the ballot in multiple states that allow him to simply pay ballot access fees.

Thanks for all that you have been doing. Hopefully the article will get published with all our work on it. ~DenverNativ (Not signed in).

Draft:SWARUP SOLANKI

Withdraw Speedy Delete - first two links check out (if this is who the article is really about) — Preceding unsigned comment added by AyushiKaurGill (talk • contribs)

AyushiKaurGill, you are missing the point. The person is not notable and the article is promotional, as discussed during the AFD. No news has come since then to make him more notable. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:14, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rejection of Nicolas Porter draft

Hi, thanks for reviewing the draft for 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Nicolas_Porter_(dentist)'. However, I need your help in making this article better, if you can, please. The moment I add anything that would make this subject stand out, and there is quite a bit of verifiable content to do that, some other editor would call it 'promotional' as it is already written under the review and delete the draft. How do I, then, make a subject stand out keeping the tone and content of the article neutral at the same time?

I have tried everything with multiple article submissions and it now just seems that drafts are rejected simply because they are paid contributions, even though I make sure that I disclose it without being asked. I am trying my best to follow the guidelines and write only neutral content using verifiable sources about notable subjects. A person who has been awarded and recognized by notable sources for his work (links provided), has changed the landscape of dentistry in several US states by providing low-cost and free treatment plans, has provided free treatment worth millions of dollars to thousands of people - I fail to understand how this person is not notable and note-worthy for other editors, regardless of his article's status as a paid contribution.

Sorry for the long message, but I am trying to do better and learn. Thank you in advance for the help. Ashley.Bell (talk) 22:09, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ashley.Bell, if you are creating the article as a paid contribution, then you have conflict of interest in wanting his article to be on Wikipedia, so there is very little you can contribute directly to the article, and a lot of it would have to be contributed by talk page requests. If he's a local dentist who is well respected in his community, that's nice and all, but what makes him nationally or internationally notable? Are there external news articles outside of his local community that cover his life? Is he making regular rounds as an expert on talk shows or has his own television program on a major cable network? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 14:24, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

He has been called upon as a guest on a number of talk shows - I can provide the references and links to them. I thought that would make the article 'promotional'. He has been recognized outside his community, too. Wouldn't adding too many details about these things make it sound like an advertisement? For another article subject, I was asked to include fewer details of this kind because they said the article should be expanded upon by other editors or through edit requests eventually. I would be really grateful if you can provide some actual guidance here. I am trying to comply with the guidelines, but some of the other editors have made it really hard to do so. Thank you in advance! Ashley.Bell (talk) 15:20, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If the articles are coming from the shows / newspapers as opposed ot his promotion. For example, if he is a regular writer for a magazine or television show, do not include his own writings / appearances, but provide external sources that describe him objectively. But yes, that can be added later. I wanted to make sure he has national notability like Barbara Corcoran who was a regular on the Today Show, and then became really famous for Shark Tank.

Joust (game)

Hi AngusWOOF, I've been trying to research on the history of this game for the past year or more. I remember playing it or seeing it played in the past, but it was a long time ago, and I don't remember exactly if it was on a physical board or on a computer, or if it was described in a website. I didn't even remember the name of the game. I was fortunate enough to recently stumble upon an article regarding the game, and the article as you know mentions Joust being a computer implementation but whose ultimate origin is unknown. I was fortunate to come upon a YouTube video of the game but a different computer implementation of it with the name "Game of Knights". Both these computer implementations appear to have been made sometime in the mid 1990s or a few years earlier. I've researched a lot, and unfortunately have come up empty on more historical information.

The game is also related to a challenge event in the reality t.v. series Survivor, and that game goes by various names depending upon the design of the board, but one name is "Squared Off". But instead of knights moving around the board and burning the squares that have been previously occupied, people walk one space to an adjacent square. Essentially it's a Chess King's move.

Moreover, I was going to add variants to this article that are related to Joust specifically variants that connect it with the Knight's tour game. The Knight's tour is a solitaire game (only one person plays), but there are two-player variants of the Knight's tour but still using only one knight (whereas Joust is two players and two knights). Instead of writing separate articles for the single knight two-player games, I would just add them to this Joust article. An example of such a game, is where two players move the single knight in alternate turns burning any previous squares that the knight had occupied. The first player that cannot move loses (or in the misere version, wins).

I will try to research more on the history of Joust, and that's why I haven't resubmitted the article yet. But this article will have a lot of content and sources. Thank you.Aamma58 (talk) 10:31, 17 January 2020 (UTC)Aamma58[reply]

Aamma58, another option is to add the variant to the Knight's tour page as a section since it is Knight's Tour with two pieces going, kind of like the light cycles in Tron. Joust (chess game) can then redirect there and the video game part can expand from there. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 14:27, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, I will do that then.Aamma58 (talk) 19:11, 17 January 2020 (UTC)Aamma58[reply]

Your decline

Hi. I think in your decline of draft:Ben Silverman, you did not take note of what was written on the talk page. He meets our notability requirement because he is notable under WP:NGOLF, as "6. ... competed as a professional on the PGA... for at least one full year."

This is stated in the article, supported by an RS ref.

The PGA tour bio.

https://www.pgatour.com/players/player.39327.ben-silverman.html

There is no requirement, as you suggest, that the "Bio needs to explain what events he has played on the PGA Tour." --184.153.21.19 (talk) 00:58, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

184.153.21.19, he's competing in the developement tour for the PGA, not on the PGA itself. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 01:03, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Draft: Chris Colton

Hello AngusWOOF. Thank you for you quick feedback and your request for me to reformat the draft article with refence to the WP:NACADEMIC criteria. As a novice Wikipedia contributor your expert help is really helpful. I have made every effort to be independent and transparent but I can see that I should remove the bullet points without citations in order to address your comment about it reading too much like a resume profile.

In terms of the criteria for Academics, here is the evidence:

1. The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources.

2. The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level.

3. The person has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association

  • Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons (England) 1963 and Member of RCS Council 1995-97
  • Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons (Edinburgh) 1979

4. The person's academic work has made a significant impact in the area of higher education, affecting a substantial number of academic institutions.

  • Visiting Professorships to the Universities of Cairo, Gothenburg, Isfahan, Kentucky, Kuala Lumpur, London, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Florida, Shiraz, Singapore, Texas and Wellington.

5. The person has held a named chair appointment or distinguished professor appointment at a major institution of higher education and research, or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon.

  • Professor Emeritus in Orthopaedic and Accident Surgery at Nottingham University

6. The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society.

  • President of the British Orthopaedic Association in 1995
  • President of the AO Foundation 1996-98

7. The person has had a substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity.

  • Member of British Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety 1993-95
  • British delegate to European Federation of Orthopaedic and Trauma Associations 1995-98
  • Founder Member of International Board for Research into Air Crash Events (IBRACE) 2016

8. The person has been the head or chief editor of a major, well-established academic journal in their subject area.

I appreciate that the Significant Coverage definition for Notability is fairly subjective, so I have made direct comparisons with two of his professional peers for whom there are existing Wikipedia articles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angus_Wallace and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_P._F._Hughes As you may not be familiar with the field of surgery, I expect that these precedents will be useful for reassessing the approval of Chris Colton's article. Hopefully I have responded to all of your feedback points and I will reformat the article accordingly and resubmit it for your consideration. Thank you. Douglal (talk) 23:53, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Douglal, I copied this over to the talk page for the draft so other AFC reviewers can verify. If there is a way some of the achievements can be rewritten in prose instead of a bullet list. This isn't meant to be a nomination for an award page, but the way the accolades are listed, it seems very promotional. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 00:18, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you AngusWOOF for your clear guidance. I will do just as you recommend and resubmit it. Douglal (talk) 08:36, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:MasterCard Foundation AfC

Hello, thanks for reviewing my draft, I think merging to MasterCard article wouldn't be acurate because although the company shareholders made the initial donation to start the foundation this organization is independent from the company, it has its own board, decision making and goals are totally unrelated with MasterCard company. Besides, this draft its just general stub, it has the potential to be expanded as the foundation is still active and growing. Do you think it would be better to merge them to a company totally unrelated with their operations? the foundation wouldnt have the space it deserves. LilaMorillo (talk) 19:28, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

LilaMorillo, then you would need to show independent notability with sources that meet WP:ORGCRIT AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 22:32, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Okay thanks, they have plenty coverage online specially on African news sites. Maybe these helo prove their notability. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]

Wolfgang Hammer 1/22/2020

Hi! You declined this post saying it needs more credible references or else it would refer back to CBS Films. The point of the entry was to highlight that Super Deluxe had a founder mentioned on the Super Deluxe wiki page. Would it suffice if I added more news references?

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nikki Dial

She voiced a character in a hentai named Words Worth, perhaps that should answer your question. ミラP 02:28, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:V. M. Obaidullah

Hi AngusWOOF. Draft:V. M. Obaidullah was a difficult one.

You are perfectly correct that "This needs a major rewrite so that it isn't biased on how great the person was."

CSD G11 says:

"This applies to pages that are exclusively promotional" - I'm not sure that it is exclusively promotional

AND (emphasis mine; i.e. both criteria need to be satisfied):

"would need to be fundamentally rewritten to serve as encyclopaedia articles" - this certainly applies

Also: "If a subject is notable and the content could plausibly be replaced with text written from a neutral point of view, this is preferable to deletion."

I haven't investigated thoroughly but I have a sneaky suspicion that the subject is notable, as their election to the upper chamber of India's parliament probably satisfies WP:POLITICIAN.

In such a case, I do not speedy delete as speedy deletion is for clear cut cases. That said, if you disagree, please seek with my blessing a second opinion from another admin and if they believe the draft should be deleted they can go ahead.

Thanks. --kingboyk (talk) 18:17, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

kingboyk, the subject is probably notable but the writing is highly suspect that it is likely copied from someone's eulogy or some local promotional article or website rather than constructed with Wikipedia in mind. If it gets a major rewrite to some short stub and cited enough for WP:GNG and WP:NPOLITICIAN, then that would be fine. He probably meets politician. I just didn't want it to have such blatant advertising/hagiographic verbiage submitted. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 19:06, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
kingboyk, example "His courage and valour in his speech in the public meetings was inspiring. His Urdu mixed Tamil was elegant, informative and thought provoking." Like I said, this needs a fundamental rewrite. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 19:20, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I already conceded that - I absolutely agree. However, as already explained, the CSD criterion also requires that the article be "exclusively promotional" and that "if a subject is notable and the content could plausibly be replaced with text written from a neutral point of view, this is preferable to deletion".
You may well be able to persuade another admin that the draft is "exclusively promotional". I won't be offended if you seek to do that - either my decision will stand or I can chalk it up to experience. --kingboyk (talk) 19:27, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
kingboyk, my other concern is that if the editor copied it from another article, then it would be a copyright violation and would be speedied for that. But that would require more searching for matched strings. Anyway, it's in draft, so the editor needs to clean up the verbiage before resubmitting, or a different editor can rewrite it from scratch with the basics. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 19:54, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
OK, thanks. --kingboyk (talk) 19:57, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Georgia's 6th Senate district

I do'nt quite understand why you declined it, and a few other like it.. all suchdistricts are normally notable. This hasn't been developed, but there is an official source.W don't seem to interpret 3rd party literally for article on political subdivisions. DGG ( talk ) 05:36, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

" DGG, it's because it's only one line that could easily fit in the other article per WP:WITHIN It could be expanded later though with muliple sources. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 13:54, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I consider it a viable stub.. I shall accept it and the similar ones, and if any have been deleted as G13 already, I shall restore and accept. The criterion for accepting a draft is not where I or you think it will go best, but whether it will be likely to be kept at afd I think it will, because all such articles ar normally expanded, and its easier to do as a separate article that nobody has to do the work of splitting. DGG ( talk ) 20:34, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You can look at Georgia's 2nd Senate district. I think the stub articles can be expanded with previous Senators as listed on their online database. It'd be great if they indicated when the district was created and what it was prior to that. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:45, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
DGG, I've updated the 6th district article to include past state senators listed and the area covered. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 00:27, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
DGG, should it be renamed to Georgia's 6th senate district as with the congressional districts? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:40, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
unless I'm missing something, I see the Georgia House districts capitalized as "House districts" not "house districts" ;similarly for some other states I checked. DGG ( talk ) 21:49, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

BRFC player articles

So I did create the 1-24 appearances article for BRFC. I am actually outraged, because that article has more citations than the AUFC player articles, and people thought there was nothing wrong with the AUFC player articles. I even asked why, and no-one replied.

I'm not adding references for a single player one-by-one, because all those citations have statistics that are outdated or only A-League apps/goals. The two citations, the OzFootball.net and WorldFootball.net is ENTIRELY referenced to the entire article.

I've already made a draft for the 25-99 appearances, because I reckon that the other page can stand. Plus, the player pages is longer, because I researched all the statistics from 1977 to 1988 and I added the citation for it. I researched for about 10 minutes, looking for sites, news or pretty much anything to include more references for the entire page.

Please, can we remove the submission declined template...

FastCube (talk) 11:53, 25 January 2020 (UTC)FastCube.[reply]

FastCube, you need consensus at the List of Brisbane Roar FC players whether that list should be split into separate articles by number of appearances. However, I do not see any feedback to split that list. It's important to get that consensus since that article is a Featured List. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 22:33, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I have many reasons why these lists are split and why I think they can stand...
  1. Now, that I've found the NSL statistics for Brisbane Roar, an entire list of players would be WAY too long.
  2. It would be so hard to find the player you want to see.
  3. We've already done this for the AUFC player articles and there was nothing wrong with then.
  4. Some other clubs in England, Spain, Italy etc., have seperate lists as well.
  5. The BRFC lists have more citations than the AUFC player lists.
FastCube, as I said, you need to gain consensus from the others who edited that list whether to split. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 07:32, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 20:10:33, 27 January 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Rodallex


There is already a page on Japanese Wikipedia about Jonas "MoonChild" Zekkari, and he is mentioned in several articles as a songwriter. I am also adding additional sources. He's had three world number ones in sales.

Rodallex (talk) 20:10, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rodallex, that's nice that he has a JP Wikipedia article, but you need to provide news sources that cover his life and career, not just passing mentions that he has a production credit for the album. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 20:20, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
AngusWOOF This is one of Sweden's largest newspapers with an article exclusively about him: https://www.gp.se/kultur/musik/han-g%C3%B6r-succ%C3%A9-i-japan-1.822663 Rodallex (talk) 20:36, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
AngusWOOF There is also no more citations in his label boss' article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HiDE_Kawada) Rodallex (talk) 20:41, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Rodallex, are there more? You need WP:THREE AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:08, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
AngusWOOF There are more, and I resubmitted now. Rodallex (talk) 21:10, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
AngusWOOF Btw, are there differing standards between Japanese wiki and English wiki? Rodallex (talk) 21:13, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Rodallex, yes, there are differing standards across language Wikipedias. Since he's a producer and not the performing artist, you would have to look at WP:GNG and WP:BASIC. That the people that he's produced for have charting singles/albums doesn't give him automatic notability since he wasn't the performer on that album. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 22:13, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
AngusWOOF What is it that you view in the article as reading as an advertisement? Would you like some form of rewrite? Rodallex (talk) 13:00, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Rodallex, the word choices are coming from profiles that you normally see in press releases. The opening sentence should not have any stuff like " international multiplatinum", "boasts", "legendary", and be supplemented with name drops. The discography should show his role in each of the works. Some of the album articles don't even have his name as producer, but maybe his company's name is listed there. So yes, a rewrite would be helpful. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 14:19, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Draft For "Manual of German Law"

Good afternoon, Angus Woof. You graciously reviewed the page and asked for more sources, specifically relating to notability. I have provided six more sources meeting this requirement from both English and German academics, several of whom have their own Wiki pages (en.wiki and wiki.de). Thanks for taking the time to re-review the page. Best wishes, Fridayphilosophy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fridayphilosophy (talk • contribs) 17:24, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fridayphilosophy, I added some feedback. Also, is there a source that shows that it is being used as a textbook? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:38, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Resubmitted my rejected article

Hello AngusWOOF,

I had resubmitted my rejected article in Dec 2019, and got it checked in the help page as well recently. The response on the help portal was that this article seems to be for a noteworthy person and can be published as an article on wiki. Can you please have a look and let me know. I have already made the required changes you suggested.

Manas.chafekar (talk) 18:37, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Manas.chafekar, I'm going to let another AFC reviewer check this. Someone who does military articles should also review how the medals and commendations are to be structured. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 19:50, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sure AngusWOOF, that would be fine. Do you think other than the military medals, commendation structure is there anything which requires a change? I have followed the template and structure of similar military personnels, so the data should be accurate. But a reviewer knows better! 🙂 Let me know if I need to make any changes, thank you again for all the help. Manas.chafekar (talk) 22:03, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi AngusWOOF, can you point me to one of the AFC reviewers to get this article reviewed for military correctness? Manas.chafekar (talk) 03:14, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:United States threat for destruction of Iranian cultural sites

Hello. I need more details. Can you explain that which part of the article is not written from neutral point of view? And about sources, I don't think this is possible to find sources that are more reliable than BBC, the Guardian, CNN, etc.Shawarsh (talk) 21:40, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You need to talk with Bkissin about it. I've only seen that nothing was improved in the article since previously submitted to address the tone concerns. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:55, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bkissin said nothing about the tone. He said It "Reads like a WP:SOAPBOX to criticize presidential bluster." According to the link, I am using Wikipedia as "a vehicle for propaganda." But since I don't think that is true, the article was resubmitted without any changes. It is a notable event with so many reliable sources, and written in a neutral point of view.Shawarsh (talk) 22:07, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

LOL, and I gave them an opportunity to merge their information into the existing article on the crisis. If we treated every war crime that comes out of the president's mouth as worthy of a separate article, half the encyclopedia would be devoted to it. This is an issue within the larger context of the brinkmanship with Iran, it shouldn't be a standalone screed accusing the President of war crimes he has yet to commit. Bkissin (talk) 22:09, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If it was important enough that people like Boris Johnson and Joe Biden reacted to it, then it is important enough to have a separate article.Shawarsh (talk) 22:33, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
