Reverted edits

Hi Habst, I reverted this edit. The RFC is already ongoing with !votes already on the board, and indeed editors stating that it is a useful discussion to have. The question therefore should not be change halfway through. If you wish to add additional questions, do this in an additional discussion or separate RFC.

Thanks, I've responded here. --Habst (talk) 13:56, 17 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Women in Green's 9th Edit-a-thon

Hello Habst:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Editathon event in October 2025!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2025, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) editathon event with the theme What Women Do! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 different occupations or professions (or broader roles in society) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!

Speedy deletion nomination of List of Olympic competitors (Om–Oz)

A tag has been placed on List of Olympic competitors (Om–Oz) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:23, 6 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Liz, thanks, I will nominate all of these Special:PrefixIndex/List of Olympic competitors redirects to draftspace under speedy deletion with {{db-r2}}. --Habst (talk) 01:25, 6 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done That's taken care of. I hope all of these pages are where they should be. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:27, 6 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

They are per Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Olympics#Keeping the articles, thanks and apologies for the bother. --Habst (talk) 01:30, 6 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Carl Lawson (sprinter)

@Habst - Nice work on Draft:Carl Lawson (sprinter). — ERcheck (talk) 01:36, 15 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@ERcheck Thanks, I only just got through his first season of coverage! I think this will be a GA candidate for sure -- I acknowledge that having a ton of one-line stubs for Pan American champs isn't ideal but I wonder if just having the {{Footer Pan American Champions 4x100m Men}} template present could count as a 'indication of importance' re: A7 deletion. I'm currently working on developing a tool to add SIGCOV to articles like these to protect them from A7/WP:SPORTCRIT prong 5 PROD deletion in the future. -- Habst (talk) 01:51, 15 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Habst - I think that the assertion of significance should be in the body of the article, not in a footer (which might be missed). Adding a sentence to the lead that says the subject was a member of a Pan American 4x100m championship team should suffice. That said, I've found that it is sometimes the case that nominators equate assertion of significance with notability when making a A7 speedy delete nomination. — ERcheck (talk) 02:39, 15 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@ERcheck, thank you. I created a script to find the Pan Am gold medalist stubs so that we can add an A7-satisfying sentence to the ledes, and this should be done for the relay medalists now. I've moved Carl Lawson (sprinter) back to mainspace and nominated it for GA; I'd appreciate your review if you have the time. --Habst (talk) 18:41, 19 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Habst - Well done to taken it from a deletion-nominated stub to a full, detailed, FA-nominated article! — ERcheck (talk) 18:44, 19 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
