Thanks

For expanding 2020 Missouri Amendment 2. Can't review it at DYK as I created the page but I really appreciate you adding more details! Elli (talk | contribs) 03:30, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, Elli. Do you think the article, as I have it written now, could have its rating improved to C- or B-class? I'm thinking it's C-class but would like further comment. ~UN6892 ^t_c 04:11, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

Yeah. The classifications don't matter much below GA; you could definitely up it to B-class if you want. Elli (talk | contribs) 04:12, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

The only issue I have with B-class right now is whether it contains "obvious omissions", I assume not though I am concerned about the Constitutional Amendment Republicans proposed to potentially gut the expansion and add a work requirement, searches for news about it past what I have cited have not found anything regarding it besides this which is paywalled (except for the first 5 seconds as the page loads). I'm thinking of a possible future GA push for the article, though that would probably require much more work. ~UN6892 ^t_c 04:26, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

I think I have expanded the article enough for tonight, though I am curious Elli, how far would you say the current version of the article is from GA? ~UN6892 ^t_c 06:01, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

Pretty close. If you want an example of a GA I've written on a ballot measure, 2000 Alabama Amendment 2 is one. Elli (talk | contribs) 06:54, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

DYK for 2020 Missouri Amendment 2

On 15 May 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article 2020 Missouri Amendment 2, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that supporters of a 2020 ballot initiative to expand Medicaid in Missouri did not use the words "Medicaid expansion" to describe their proposal in some campaign material? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/2020 Missouri Amendment 2. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, 2020 Missouri Amendment 2), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Considering an AfD nomination

I don't believe the following can be answered with a simple help template. However, I am unsure where to ask about NORG-related concerns and general analysis of sources. If you are reading this, know where or who to ask (including if I should just go straight to AfD), and believe the following would be an inappropriate use of the template, simply point me to where I need to go. ~UN6892 ^t_c 04:02, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

I have recently been conducting a laborious WP:BEFORE search for Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing. The results, as of now, seem to lean toward the subject not being notable (which I find a bit surprising) and I would like to bring the article to AfD if it continues this way. The main reason I have not done so yet is that I am not at all confident that the topic is non-notable. I have already asked Novem Linguae for advice though I believe he is unfamiliar with the sourcing here so I would like some input from others. As of now, I've searched Google using the terms "CEMC" and "[article title]", the more specific search Novem Linguae links in his essay about GNG using the same terms, and Google Scholar using "CEMC" math as my search term. Here are the sources I've come up with (out of probably 150 or so results I've tried to look at):

• CBC - I think this one works, though the courseware may count as a "product". As a national outlet, CBC should count as non-local.
• a truly great source until I realized it's not independent
• some I can't access but are (ok I'll stop citebombing) likely passing mentions based on context clues. These always came from Google Scholar. I suspect a problem with a ton of these results is there are several things which CEMC stands for.
• this and many others like it. Mainly give a couple of sentences. All from Google Scholar.
• All the sources I mentioned on Novem Linguae's talk which have issues preventing them from counting toward notability (usually being primary or lacking depth). This is a newer example I have found.
• self-published
• A ton of passing mentions which make me wish there was an easier way to do WP:THREE.

I mainly conducted this search because I wanted material to rewrite the article with given its current state, but it's proving very difficult. Are there better ways to find sources on such a topic or should I go straight to AfD? ~UN6892 ^t_c 04:02, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

Nominating an article at AfD is indeed the way to spark the discussion you are trying to make happen here. While formally that discussion is about deletion, it often becomes a consideration of whether the participants think that sources to establish notability probably exist, even if they can't all be lined up and pointed to. You've clearly done the BEFORE work and the efforts you describe here are more than many AfD nominations have behind them. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 04:22, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
