Notability

As to Draft:Menahem Yaari, he is notable not under GNG - but because he meets WP:ACADEMIC. He meets many of the criteria independently. And only needs to meet one.

"Academics meeting any one of the following conditions, as substantiated through reliable sources, are notable.... "

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 (e.g., a National Academy of Sciences ...) or a fellow of a major scholarly society which reserves fellow status as a highly selective honor (e.g., Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers).

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.

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

He does not have to meet GNG since he meets the above. As the notability guideline makes clear: "failure to meet ... the general notability guideline ... is irrelevant if an academic is notable under this guideline."

I've added even more RSs for you.

And once a person meets the above criteria - and he does as supported by RSs - it is perfectly fine to fill out his article with his official institutional CV for routine, uncontroversial details.

The guideline makes this clear. "Once the passage of one ... notability criteria has been verified through independent sources, or through the reliable sources listed explicitly for this purpose in the specific criteria notes, non-independent sources, such as official institutional and professional sources, are widely accepted as reliable sourcing for routine, uncontroversial details."

Please think about this more after reading the above. 2604:2000:E010:1100:9801:527E:9A75:8F8E (talk) 18:30, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

I never stated the person was not notable, in fact I confirmed in my comments on the decline that person was in fact notable. The concern was the article relied almost fully on a bare pdf document. There's multiple problems with this, including not knowing who has access to that site to upload files, who created the file, when it was created, where the info on it is sourced from, who could edit it in an ongoing fashion etc. Further it would rely on a file that we have no idea how long it would be up for. All of this is very troubling, particularly when other sources are likely readily available. Please understand that standards for sources used in BLPs is incredibly high compared to other subjects, which can make our concerns with the sources seem tedious, but still very necessary. Cheers. Sulfurboy (talk) 20:19, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
Step 1 is to determine whether he is notable. Because he is notable, which you said you agree with, per WP:ACADEMIC, the article should not have been declined. Just the reverse. The support for his notability meets WP standards. There were other documents that were RSs other than the CV that supported his meeting wp:academic. And he did not just squeak by. He met this standard in multiple ways. Overwhelmingly. Step 2 - The "bare pdf" document as you refer to it (there's no prohibition on the document not being pdf) was just one of the sources. It was an official institutional publication. And as I wrote above, it was at that point fine to use. Because as the guideline says "Once the passage of one ... notability criteria has been verified through independent sources, or through the reliable sources listed explicitly for this purpose in the specific criteria notes, non-independent sources, such as official institutional and professional sources, are widely accepted as reliable sourcing for routine, uncontroversial details." Anyway - I see another editor has already accepted the article. 2604:2000:E010:1100:9801:527E:9A75:8F8E (talk) 20:54, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
There was nothing that denoted the pdf as an "official institutional publication", just because it can be downloaded from a schools url, does not mean it was officially published by the university. Again, it's this amongst a myriad of things that make that source without supporting context quite troubling. I'm glad to see you were able to improve the article enough to allow for its inclusion. Cheers. Sulfurboy (talk) 21:11, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

Questions about declined page

Thank you for reviewing a page I created Draft:Avery Yale Kamila. I'm new to this and working on pages that I've searched for in the past but don't exist. You mentioned that the links about vegan lunch were reliable but nothing else. I felt the ones about her work to ban pesticides also had reliable citations, as are the ones about her work generally. Could you clarify the difference? I want to get this right so I do it correctly on other pages. --BrikDuk (talk) 17:54, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

I can't see the Portland Press article as it's behind a paywall. As to the other three, two of those sources (Lawnstarter and Organic Land Care Program) are blogsites and wouldn't be considered a reliable source to denote notability. The AP one doesn't even mention the subject.Sulfurboy (talk) 20:52, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for those specifics. I find the information extremely helpful. The subject is mentioned in the Portland Press Herald article (and a number of other related articles from Portland Press Herald that I didn't cite). If articles are behind a paywall, does that make them a no-go? If not, would this reference be better? It mentions the group the subject founded in headline: https://www.pressherald.com/2015/10/07/portland-citizens-group-proposes-strong-pesticide-ban/ It includes this text: "The Portland pesticide proposal goes beyond weed and bug killers to include synthetic lawn fertilizers, which some believe run into nearby sewers and streams, contribute to the acidification of Maine’s coastal waters and harm the plant and animal species that live there. “This proposal pushes the council into action,” said Avery Yale Kamila, a founder of Portland Protectors."
Others that mention subject include: https://www.pressherald.com/2018/01/04/portland-council-approves-tough-synthetic-pesticide-ban/ and
https://www.pressherald.com/2019/08/07/city-grants-first-pesticides-waiver-to-cushings-island/ --BrikDuk (talk) 21:19, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

No, being behind a paywall in no way precludes a source from being used, I was just saying that because I was unable to review the quality of it. Also, please note that someone being quoted in an article does not neccesarily denote someone as being notable, the exception being if they were widely cited in multiple new outlets as an expert in their field. The issue here continues that there isn't any direct coverage of the subject outside of the one school lunch event. Sulfurboy (talk) 21:27, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

Thank you. Your explanation is helpful to guide as I contribute. I'll keep that article in draft and search for reliable citations. Appreciate your taking the time to help me understand. --BrikDuk (talk) 15:18, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Notable vs Sufficiently notable. Whats the standard? The Toven article

Good Morning,

Thank you for the response. I am hoping you can assist with further specificity. The article title above (The Toven) was apparently rejected. Reason; "not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia". Please breakdown the meaning of "sufficiently" as it relates to notable. As I understand the guidelines. "notable" is the requirement and while accompanied with the word "sufficiently" can come off as ambiguous and unclear to the author. Currently I can find no such language in Wikipedia guidelines and rules referring to the phrase "Not Sufficiently Notable". Please assist with pointing this verbiage out if I am missing something.

Are you stating that the subject is not "worthy of notice"?

According to Wiki

If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list.

Provided were reliable sources DJ Rectangle DJ Rectangle-1995 Vinyl Combat, Ill Rated and Jayo Felony UndergroundJayo Felony-Underground album. Whereby The Toven performed and contributed to both. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Spiritletters (talk • contribs) 15:37, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer newsletter February 2020

Hello Sulfurboy,

Source Guide Discussion

The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.

Redirects

New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.

Discussions and Resources
Refresher

Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

Vincent Ducrot, new page in English

Hello Sulfurboy,

I saw your comment on the draft and than you for reviewing it. But there's something I don't understand in your "Comment: Likely notable, but all claims in the article either need inline citations - sorry, my mothertongue is French. Could you please explain me what you mean by inline citations, in other words? I made the same article in French, German and Italian and there was no such a problem.

Thanks in advance. Best regards from Switzerland. --ElleW26 (talk) 17:02, 11 February 2020 (UTC)ElleW26

Artikel on Elite Network of Bavaria

Dear Sulfurboy,

thank you for reviewing my draft - I'd be grateful indeed for any suggestion on how to improve it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Elite_Network_of_Bavaria

I have added citations - I need to rely on German speaking sources, however, the only resource for information in English is the Elite Network's homepage.

What else could be done to improve it?

Thank you very much.

--Matthias.galler (talk) 13:52, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

It is not a requirement that your sources be in English. German sources are fine. However, I will note that it will typically make it easier for reveiwers if they can easily pull up a source or two in English that denotes notability. Again, not a requirement at all though.

Hi Sulfurboy and thanks for your work reviewing new articles. Please remember to check for violations of Wikipedia's copyright policy before publishing drafts. The most recent one I saw that had a copyright problem was Pinkhos Churgin, which had copying from https://www.encyclopedia.com/religion/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/churgin-pinkhos. There's been several others lately as well. Thank you, — Diannaa (talk) 13:34, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

Unmarking AfC Under Review

Hi there. I noticed you marked several things I'd had under review as not under review. Fair enough on the time element but is there a reason you didn't reach out first? I actually had a legitimate reason for this - I am/was using them as teaching tools for New Page Patrol School and since some drafts take six months for reviews, it did not/does not seem like a deal breaker if they sit under review for a bit. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 18:25, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

(talk), Yes, I did it as part of routine maintenance and also because a couple of them looked ready for mainspace (looks like a couple were already accepted by other reviewers). I saw no movement on the page for days. I also double checked the talk page and the AfC comments to see if there was a reason why the pages were being held under review for days with no editing. It might be helpful in the future to leave a comment or post something on the talk page so people will know when they visit it. Also, holding active AfC articles under an indefinite reviews sounds a bit inefficient. Can those pages not be used as an example on a separate sandbox page? Either way, I apologize for the confusion and inconvenience. Sulfurboy (talk) 20:18, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
Sulfurboy, all AfCs submitted are under indefinite review which is why holding them for a teaching purpose doesn't seem against the spirit of anything especially given how huge the backlog is right now. Your comment about noting why it's under review is one I've given thought to before and decided against because it's a bit of inside baseball that might not be understood by the kind of editor likely to be at AFC. I'll give it some more thought. My bigger point was that I was clearly active and so perhaps you could have left me a talk page message before or even after having done this. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 17:59, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
You could maybe preface it with 'note to afc editors' or something along those lines in you message if you're worried about contributors not understanding what you're trying to say. And yes, you're correct about the backlog. However, it can be deceptive. What makes it to the end of the backlog is typically articles that need to be reviewed by someone with specialized knowledge in subject matter or language. A lot of articles are approved or decline in the first couple of days. I just worry about newer contributors being discouraged from contributing again when their article needlessly sits in limbo for months. Just because that's the status quo for some articles, doesn't justify it being acceptable. Sulfurboy (talk) 20:02, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
Also, why coudn't these pages just have a copy stored on a sandbox page and have the teaching tool run from there? Sulfurboy (talk) 20:03, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

3RR violation

Hi Sulfurboy. You technically violated 3RR on Benny D. Freeman: even though you made only 3 reverts of Bfreeman429, you additionally reverted the addition of a tag [1]. All four of those are reverts for 3RR purposes. I won't block you for this, since the tag removal seems like a technical violation at best, but please be mindful. Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 22:54, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

Kevin, can you clarify how exemption seven of the 3RR doesn't apply here? Because that's what I was relying on. Thanks. Sulfurboy (talk) 23:36, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for pointing that out. You're probably right that the BLP exemption might apply if clearly invoked; however, please remember that both the basis for the exemption and the invocation of the exemption itself should be as clear and blatant as possible (i.e. at least note the exemption in your edit summary, and preferably don't risk 3RR anyway). Best, Kevin (alt of L235 · t · c) 01:56, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
Sounds good. I'll do that from now on. Sulfurboy (talk) 02:00, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

Tony "UNK^6" Reynolds

Tony "UNK^6" Reynolds From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Submission declined on 12 February 2020 by Sulfurboy (talk).

First, thank you for reviewing this submission! That is sincere, and I'm definitely not mad, just trying to understand.

Please try to help me understand clearly what you are saying?

So do you feel that because the other co-author of the book is mentioned in greater detail (James "Buster" Douglas, the co-author being mentioned less is not notable?

I disagree with the passing title because one co-author is greater than the other, should not delineate the fact that this book was co-created by Tony "UNK^6" Reynolds. This book, "Buster's Backyard Bar-B-Q," would not have been created without both authors. (actually Tony Reynolds was the original creator...but that's not going in here.)

Although I will agree to disagree, feeling that being co-author of a book mentioned in numerous national publications is not just a "passing" mention. If Reynolds was a ghost-writer, I would most likely agree, but even ghost-writers get credit in Wiki.

FOX NEWS: https://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/buster-douglas-knockout-bbq

Second, before this is updated again

Tony "UNK^6" Reynolds is the primary feature of the story (and his creation), but of course, President Reagan will over shadow Reynolds in these stories.

Review of draft on Alex Jawdokimov

Dear Sulfurboy, Thank you for reviewing my draft on Jawdokimov. Please check his prominence by doing a Wikipedia search on his surname. You will see that he is mentioned as Alex or Alexei Jawdokimov in several existing Wikipedia articles. Please let me know if I should refer to these articles in my draft in order to prove his prominence. I already referred to his filmography on IMDb. I have been following his work for some time. Although I did not know him in person, when I learnt about his death, I thought he would deserve an article. I don’t know the exact date of his birth and his death, but I’m trying find it out in order to make that information more precise. Best regards, Budabe Budabe (talk) 19:52, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

AfC reviews

Feel free to mark articles that you move to the mainspace through AfC as reviewed, especially articles which unambiguously meet an SNG. Although if you do so, make sure that they're properly tagged with all relevant WikiProject banners. signed, Rosguill talk 00:03, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

Rosguill I'll do that for sure for the ones that are SNG, but if you don't mind I think for the GNG ones I'd still like it to be seen by NPP in case I missed something glaring, at least until I get back in the groove of things from my extended absensce. Sulfurboy (talk) 00:34, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
That's fair, and if it's a subjective SNG (like NACTOR or NACADEMIC) feel free to also send those for a second review, but for clear yes-or-no SNGs (like most of NSPORTS) it's going to almost always be unnecessary. signed, Rosguill talk 00:44, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
Rosguill, thought I'd run this idea by you. I still don't feel comfortable reviewing my own pages that I approve. Feels a little too much like a fox watching the hen house. So instead I'm just going to keep a rough count of articles I approve in a day and then go review at least that many articles in NPP (and a few more) so that at least my contribution to the NPP queue is a net negative. Sulfurboy (talk) 00:45, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
I think that's a good idea, although I'm not sure I see why you feel more uncertain about articles you approve out of AfC than articles that you come across at NPP. Unless you're making significant edits to the AfC articles in order to bring them to an acceptable state, there really isn't any conflict of interest. signed, Rosguill talk 01:32, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Cuis_Smalltalk

Greetings,

I must admit that I do not understand the rejection.

Cuis Smalltalk is frequently mentioned along with siblings Squeak and Pharo, both of which have web pages.

Searching GitHub for "Cuis-Smalltalk-*" shows ~30 repositories.

There are a number YouTube videos of Smalltalk conference talks on Cuis (ESUG, FAST).

There is at least one university with its own Cuis development image and Google group [2].

There is an active, vibrant development community using Cuis Smalltalk.

Cuis has different goals from Squeak and Pharo which has resulted in a significantly different dialect and technical structure. For example, the visual artifacts (Morphs) have origins relative to their containers rather than the screen origin, x@y positions use floats not integers, Features check their requirements and autoload them. IDE tools differ. Cuis is a different dialect of Smalltalk and deserves respect and attention in WIkipedia.

It is not like Cuis Smalltalk does not exist. Why allow Squeak and Pharo pages but not Cuis?

My draft “which is always rejected”

all sources come from (national news websites in Indonesia)? Kebajikan111 (talk) 19:54, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

I think that's accurate enough, without having to look at other sources. all sources come from trusted website "local languages" because these foods are still poorly known outside the country Kebajikan111 (talk) 19:57, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

itu bukan “cookbook” tapi penjelasan tentang makanannya Kebajikan111 (talk) 19:58, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

it's not a "cook book" but an explanation of the food Kebajikan111 (talk) 19:59, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

obviously that's an important topic! Kebajikan111 (talk) 20:03, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

This food is known in Indonesia. but not known in the outside world. that's normal, foreigners don't even know our national food like rendang sate (maybe it's quite well known), but Gado-gado? unknown but that's our national dish. Kebajikan111 (talk) 20:22, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

btw, that food is already listed in local Wikipedia (wikipedia bahasa indonesia) Kebajikan111 (talk) 20:25, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletions declined

Hello, Sulfurboy,

I declined several pages you had tagged as "uncontroversial speedy deletions" because they didn't include much information to justify a page deletion. If you want to delete a page because a different page needs to be moved to that location, please state which page needs to be moved. "Uncontroversial housekeeping" doesn't state a reason why a page should be deleted unless there is an obvious misspelling or mistake. Please be more specific in your deletion rationales and only use CSD G6 for pages that are uncontroversial and obvious deletion candidates. Otherwise, please use one of the other established CSD criteria. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 00:02, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

Liz, Hmm, can you point me to an example or two? I haven't run into anyone having issue with my G6s before. Is the problem just that I'm not giving the name of the page? I always state that it's to move in an article from AfC, I just assumed it was pretty inherent which page was being moved in since they would have to share the same name. But I can just start directly putting in the draft link, that's no biggie. Sulfurboy (talk) 01:32, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
I'm not on a computer that is great for editing so I'll ask that you look at my contributions. There are 3 that I declined. Admins vary in how strict they are about speedy deletions and I'd guess I'm medium strict (or I just request fuller information with requested page moves). Others rarely raise any questions and just delete so you might not have encountered questions in the past, it depends on how much tagging you do. Let me know if you have any other questions. I just thought since there were 3 CSD G6 I declined, I should drop you a note. It's a especially tricky criteria because it requires the tagger to state why the page should be deleted where with the other criteria, they are more self-explanatory. Liz Read! Talk! 02:05, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

Draft for Review, Young Henrys

Hi Sulfurboy,

Thanks so much for reviewing my draft and suggesting edits. As requested I have added reliable sources, including a journal article, published book and SBS news feature. I would really appreciate if you could re-review the article. Thank you for your interest and time. Draft:Young Henrys

OleWriter2020 (talk) 02:23, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

You need to resubmit the article and then I can approve it. Sulfurboy (talk) 02:33, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi Sulfurboy, my apologies I thought I had already. It has now been resubmitted. Thank you so much. OleWriter2020 (talk) 09:46, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

how many citation do you need? There are a lot of page on wiki that have less numbers of citation and it is ok — Preceding unsigned comment added by EmporaHotels (talk • contribs) 15:06, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

If other citations are missing tags you are welcome to tag them with maintence tags. What other pages look like have no bearing on yours. You need to have inline citations for each claim made within the article as it is a biography of a living person. This is all fully explained in the links provided in the decline message.

Hannes Bieger draft

Hey, thanks for your message regarding my Hannes Bieger submission --> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Hannes_Bieger

And any tips on how to improve it.

Thanks! Much love, Marcus. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mgoldenbarnes (talk • contribs) 15:24, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

Review the links provided in the decline message. In particular, we need to see secondary and reliable sources that give the subject significant coverage. You want to make sure the coverage isn't WP:ROUTINE. Primary sources can be used, but they aren't enough to denote notability. Sulfurboy (talk) 15:27, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi Sulfurboy, thank you for reviewing my article. I got a notice saying it was declined, because it would read more as an advertisement then as an independent article. I made some changes, wrote it from a more natural point of view and added references. I hope I fixed it. Should I send it in for review again?

Thanks for burning the midnight oil! A little coffee break for you!

Dear Sulfurboy,

Thank you for reviewing my proposed Wikipedia article, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Jei_Atacama. I am so very grateful to you for the very fast response after hitting "publish" on the draft yesterday. Even though some might be discouraged by a rejection, I am ready for the challenge of editing and getting this right! :) This is my first Wikipedia page submission and seeing the statement that noted it might be at least 6 months before anyone would be able to review the draft because of the long queue was a scary realization. Your response is encouraging and I can dig in again and learn and edit! Thanks for all you do (I see you are very very busy on here!). See you at the Tea House ... in the meantime, hope this cup of coffee helps to fuel your passion for Wikipedia.

Jingleman2 (talk) 19:36, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

I do not understand your not excepting. It is the exact format as Frank Simms and several others including Sundance Head, and others from the Voice who do not have ANY published sources. everything I did is as accurate as one can get and NOT just passing mentions. Have a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Simms. If you need others who are set up exactly the same [lease let me know. ALL of which have been published!

I'm not sure what you're talking about with other articles, that's of no concern to me and it should be with you either. We instead need to go by wikipedia policy. So far, the subject of your article wholly fails WP:GNG and WP:ARTIST. Someone that only is shown to have coverage from WP:ONEVENT (in this case being on the voice) is usually never determined to be notable. Sulfurboy (talk) 21:09, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

Passu Tshering

Hi,

I would like to understand why you have deleted the article I created on Passu Tshering, due to notability issues, notably lack of quality references. The references include two prominent Bhutanese independent newspapers - Kuensel and The Bhutanese. There are two independent books, one published by Routledge, an internationally recognised academic publisher. Please can you explain to me why these do not meet criteria of reliable, published sources. Also, two of the references are to profiles of Passu and his organisation, so I dont think they can be considered passing mentions. Thanks. 17todotest (talk) 02:39, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

page for Jarrett Walker

I am not necessarily mad, but I am confused when you say he is a "clear cut case" of someone famous for one thing. Am I supposed to summarize his book and his contributions to the field of transit planning? I am new to Wikipedia but I am not new to the subjects he is famous for (and I'd bet you are the opposite) so there needs to be some more fleshed-out exchange of info. [3]

Draft:LinkSquares

Hi Sulfurboy

Thanks for taking the time to review my article Draft:LinkSquares. I would like to improve this article and get it into a shape you believe is suitable for publication. I'm wondering if it is the nature of the sources? I did not cite all sources possible, so if for instance I included a citation from the Berkshire Hathaway owned Business Wire, https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20190307005489/en/LinkSquares-AI-Startup-Tackling-Contract-Analytics-Raises would that be sufficient? If I am misunderstanding the issue, please let me know!

Blackmetalheater (talk) 12:37, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

I would advise reading the articles that were linked to you in the decline message. Doing so will teach why, for example, the article you linked above isn't a good one. Sulfurboy (talk) 14:17, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

Declining Sandbox When Draft Is In Draft Space

Do not type Draft: in front of the title of a draft when using the 'duplicate' option to decline a sandbox. The script automatically puts Draft: in front of the title, so that this duplicates Draft:Draft:, and results in a red link. See User:MariaKravitzF/sandbox, where you did this.

Kahootz (software company)

Hi, Sulfurboy! I've read your comments on the reasons you declined the company and found them reasonable. It doesn't look I can do much more about it as I haven't found more sources about the company. Should I leave as it is or remove the draft? I'm not a very frequent user, so sorry in advance for any delayed response. Also, thanks a lot for invitation to the Teahouse - looks promising=)). I would appreciate your advice on my contributions.

page about Efim Levitin

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Tweenata — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tweenata (talk • contribs) 02:55, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

Dear Sulfurboy,

Thank you very much for your review and for the comments on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Tweenata

I am not asking you to re-review the article by any means, but just wanted to emphasize that Efim Levitin had published many books on radio engineering which were very popular in USSR. Many had a very large circulation, some were printed 2 or 3 times, and one of the books, printed in 1960s is still listed in an online book shop as a antique hardcopy (out of print) ;) His books were used as reference materials by all the repair personnel as well as amateurs. His books were also translated into several languages.

He did a lot to popularize radio engineering in USSR and some amateur radio engineers even now are still using his books.

Just wanted to add that since, according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(academics), having published books counts (although I admit that I do not know whether his books were actually used in any Soviet higher education institutions).

He is not very well researched, and therefore at this point I do not have any additional secondary sources to be listed. I will keep looking, but unfortunately I do not have access to any Soviet archives. Perhaps, having this article in Wikepedia would allow people who have the information to come forward and add it.

Thank you again for your consideration.

Best,
