Hello!

Hey, thanks for editing my page for an elementary school, could you link me where the policy is? IceChris77 (talk) 01:07, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

@IceChris77: Sure! It's right here. The first point is most relevant to your article, since it was about an elementary school without any sources. You should also take a look at WP:NSCHOOL. Wikiproject Schools will also be able to help you write wonderful articles about schools. Mcampany (talk) 01:13, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

@Mcampany: Alright, thanks! IceChris77 (talk) 01:17, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

Check-in

Hey there. I see you've been doing some NPP and just wanted to check-in and see how it was going and if you had any questions I might be able to answer. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 21:19, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi @Barkeep49:. I think it's been going okay. I've mostly been working on anything that I'm 100% certain meets a subject-specific notability policy or CSD guideline. When in doubt (which is often), I don't touch an article.

I was wondering though, is there a special notability guideline for elections or sports seasons (like 2020 Copa Verde? Do we go just by GNG? How can we be sure that an event meets GNG if it hasn't happened yet? There seem to be a lot of those passing through the queue, and I'm just not sure what to do with them.

I know you've got a lot on your plate, so I really appreciate you reaching out and checking in on me. Thanks! Mcampany (talk) 21:39, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Most elections above the municipal level are generally going to be notable. The way I would check these when I was beginning was to try and find 3 or 4 other similar election topics with articles (ideally that someone whose name I recognized had patrolled). WP:NSPORT, specifically WP:SPORTSEVENT should cover things like 2020 Copa Verde. When in doubt leaving it alone is a good policy. I did a quick sampling of some of your patrols and see you've focused on biographies so far. I don't see any major issues there. I also looked at your deletions and found a good record. I would agree that Alb'swissTV is not eligible for A7 (though it does have other issues) but otherwise it seems like all your speedy nominations have been good ones. For now keep up the good work and don't hesitate to reach out to me or another NPP if you have questions. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 22:26, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

@Barkeep49: It's because I know the notability guidelines for biographies best, since that's what I usually write. I'll definitely reach out if I have any other questions. Also, when should I apply for extension of the perm? I think it expires sometime next week. Is that something I'm supposed to do after it expires? Thanks!Mcampany (talk) 22:49, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Mcampany, thanks for reminding me. I've gone ahead and extended you. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 22:53, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Oh, never mind. I see that you've already done it. Thank you! Mcampany (talk) 22:51, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
