Speedy deletion nomination of Dr. Bhartendra kumar Arun

Hello, Joseywales1961,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Rfassbind, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I have tagged an article that you started, Dr. Bhartendra kumar Arun, for deletion, because it is a very short article that doesn't provide readers with enough context to determine who or what the subject is.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator.

For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Rfassbind}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

Hi Rfassbind, that page was a redirect from a page I moved yesterday (taking out the Dr bit and adding cap letters to name) but as that page has now been deleted this redirect can go, I probably should have tagged the original (now deleted) page as CSD non-notable anyway rather than bothering trying to tidy up the creators mess! - Happy editing and have a great evening Josey Wales^Parley 21:53, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Michael J. Takla

I apologize for not knowing too much how Wikipedia editing works, all I know is that this guy deserves to have his own page, I mean he is Guinness Book World Record Holder. Since you are also an editor I would really like your help to make this happen for him. Please :) Miketakla86 (talk) 21:28, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Miketakla86 - Just a couple of notes, this page has previously been deleted (as Michael Takla) following a deletion discussion in December 2021 see here. Your user name closely resembles that of the subject, if you are that person or closely connected to that person you must declare a conflict of interest - see how to do that at WP:COI. The fate of the current page will be decided by an administrator, usually within a few hours. Thank you for your contributions to wikipedia Josey Wales^Parley 21:39, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please look into this.

Thank you.

Aravindhan Ravikumar (talk) 10:11, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi GoAheadFan95 those are all now reviewed - don't worry if such pages are not reviewed very promptly in future as we have quite a large backlog (over 7,000 pages this morning) and pages are reviewed in no particular order, just depends on which reviewers log in and which pages they might be comfortable reviewing or tagging for deletion. Many thanks for your edits and page creations Josey Wales^Parley 10:20, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Add in the following disambiguation pages:

i pleased to you for review it, your review encourage to me for create more article and gives the best encyclopedia to the public and readers. (Thank You)Sams321 (talk) 20:12, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia, those two articles are outside the area I normally review (Politics, Football, Military) as I'm not familiar with the Indian Film industry or Indian music and the sources used, they will be reviewed in time when someone with experience in those areas comes along (note that on Kyun Na Aaye youtube is used as reference 9 which is generally considered an unreliable source, other than that both articles look fine). Don't worry about the length of time it takes for an article to be reviewed as they are not reviewed in any particular order and we have quite a large backlog to get through at the moment. Keep up the good work and best wishes from Ireland Josey Wales^Parley 20:59, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion removal😥

That's not fair, Go remove the tag please, I was paid to write that article that 😥 Jenbn24 (talk) 08:35, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jenbn24, being paid to write an article doesn't make the subject notable, reliable 3rd party sources that mention them in depth are required (see WP:RS), also the article should be worded in a neutral manner (see WP:NPOV) Josey Wales^Parley 11:45, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Patrol newsletter May 2022

Hello Joseywales1961,

At the time of the last newsletter (No.26, September 2021), the backlog was 'only' just over 6,000 articles. In the past six months, the backlog has reached nearly 16,000, a staggering level not seen in several years. A very small number of users had been doing the vast majority of the reviews. Due to "burn-out", we have recently lost most of this effort. Furthermore, several reviewers have been stripped of the user right for abuse of privilege and the articles they patrolled were put back in the queue.

Several discussions on the state of the process have taken place on the talk page, but there has been no action to make any changes. The project also lacks coordination since the "position" is vacant.

In the last 30 days, only 100 reviewers have made more than 8 patrols and only 50 have averaged one review a day. There are currently 803 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 851 administrators have this permission, but only about a dozen significantly contribute to NPP.

This means we have an active pool of about 450 to address the backlog. We cannot rely on a few to do most of the work as that inevitably leads to burnout. A fairly experienced reviewer can usually do a review in a few minutes. If every active reviewer would patrol just one article per day, the backlog would very quickly disappear.

If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, do suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}} on their talk page.

If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.

To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Just saw your userpage note. Healthy thoughts your way. Seasider53 (talk) 13:36, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi I just dropped by because I realised you hadn’t been doing NPP recently. I took a break after the drive last November wrung it out of me and I’m just starting back though I’ve got COVID at the moment. I hope you’re doing ok and being looked after, and hope to see you back again when you’re ready. All the best Mccapra (talk) 21:28, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Mccapra, I hope to be able to help out again within a few weeks (I'm getting cortisone jabs in the neck while waiting for an op so can't look at a computer for any more than a couple of minutes at a time right now) I hope you're covid is mild and that you can take part in the drive as you were a great help and inspiration the last time, it's saddening to see that backlog growing though.

New Page Patrol newsletter June 2022

Hello Joseywales1961,

Backlog status

At the time of the last newsletter (No.27, May 2022), the backlog was approaching 16,000, having shot up rapidly from 6,000 over the prior two months. The attention the newsletter brought to the backlog sparked a flurry of activity. There was new discussion on process improvements, efforts to invite new editors to participate in NPP increased and more editors requested the NPP user right so they could help, and most importantly, the number of reviews picked up and the backlog decreased, dipping below 14,000^[a] at the end of May.

Since then, the news has not been so good. The backlog is basically flat, hovering around 14,200. I wish I could report the number of reviews done and the number of new articles added to the queue. But the available statistics we have are woefully inadequate. The only real number we have is the net queue size.^[b]

In the last 30 days, the top 100 reviewers have all made more than 16 patrols (up from 8 last month), and about 70 have averaged one review a day (up from 50 last month).

While there are more people doing more reviews, many of the ~730 with the NPP right are doing little. Most of the reviews are being done by the top 50 or 100 reviewers. They need your help. We appreciate every review done, but please aim to do one a day (on average, or 30 a month).

Backlog drive

A backlog reduction drive, coordinated by buidhe and Zippybonzo, will be held from July 1 to July 31. Sign up here. Barnstars will be awarded.

TIP – New school articles

Many new articles on schools are being created by new users in developing and/or non-English-speaking countries. The authors are probably not even aware of Wikipedia's projects and policy pages. WP:WPSCH/AG has some excellent advice and resources specifically written for these users. Reviewers could consider providing such first-time article creators with a link to it while also mentioning that not all schools pass the GNG and that elementary schools are almost certainly not notable.

Misc

There is a new template available, {{NPP backlog}}, to show the current backlog. You can place it on your user or talk page as a reminder:

Very high unreviewed pages backlog: 13397 articles, as of 04:00, 24 November 2024 (UTC), according to DatBot

There has been significant discussion at WP:VPP recently on NPP-related matters (Draftification, Deletion, Notability, Verifiability, Burden). Proposals that would somewhat ease the burden on NPP aren't gaining much traction, although there are suggestions that the role of NPP be fundamentally changed to focus only on major CSD-type issues.

Reminders

Consider staying informed on project issues by putting the project discussion page on your watchlist.
If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}} on their talk page.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.
