Yeah the article was deleted because there isn't enough significant independent coverage to indicate that he meets WP:NARTIST or WP:GNG, our notability guidelines. Also because you appear to have an obvious conflict of interest - are you being paid or otherwise compensated in any way to try to create this article about Mr. Liakat? ♠PMC(talk) 20:30, 5 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Draft:All is Revealed edit

Hello, PMC,

FYI: This editor in Elk River, Minnesota, has been the source of a lot of hoax articles. They seem to switch IP addresses with every edit so I don't know if they can be blocked. Liz Read! Talk! 02:08, 6 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

(talk page stalker) @Liz: perhaps a rangeblock of 2600:6C46:4100:7FF::/64? Looks like NinjaRobotPirate has previously blocked them, but it expired at the start of August. Elli (talk | contribs) 02:13, 6 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, I range blocked it again. Users on Spectrum are usually pretty easy to block. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:24, 6 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
Thanks everyone. Liz, I didn't realize it was an ongoing issue/LTA, and NRP, rangeblocks scare me (I'm afraid of accidentally blocking a whole country or something) so I appreciate you taking care of the block :) ♠PMC(talk) 05:29, 6 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Thank you edit

I want to express my belated appreciation for your trust and support in my July RfA. My first few months have been slow and uneventful but after some distractions I expect to be more a part. If I can be helpful or if you see me get out of line, I welcome you to approach me directly. Thanks again. BusterD (talk) 17:20, 16 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Started a draft! edit

Hey PMC! I decided that I would start a draft (currently at Draft:Splatoon 3) and would like your help in putting what I"m finding in sources into readable prose without plagiarizing the sources. ― Blaze The WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 01:01, 24 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

It's a bit difficult as at the moment there's not much detail in any of the sources, but usually I try to summarize what the source is saying without including any of the journalistic color or in-universe details. For example, the Kotaku source frames the trailer as "research footage" and talks about weapons and stuff. Most of that isn't really pertinent for an article, but you might include something like "Splatoon 3 will introduce mammalian characters in its single-player story mode." Hope that helps. ♠PMC(talk) 03:45, 24 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
Alright. Thanks! Also the Nintendo Direct itself framed the trailer as research footage so you can't really blame Kotaku there. Blaze The WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 13:10, 24 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
Oh yeah, not knocking Kotaku for it - they're clearly rolling with the bit for fun :) ♠PMC(talk) 13:25, 24 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
Yep. I managed to find 2 more sources that did not exist last night when I started the draft. I figured more sources would be popping up a day or two after the Direct came out. I actually wouldn't have started the draft if someone hadn't said that Splatoon 3 could probably be split into its own article at this point. ― Blaze The WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 13:31, 24 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Draft:DZMD and Draft:DZMD-FM (Bataan) edit

Hi, since you deleted DZMD-FM (Bataan) because of the result at its AfD, can you delete Draft:DZMD and Draft:DZMD-FM (Bataan) because these two were duplicated from DZMD-FM (Bataan)? Thank You! SeanJ 2007 (talk) 03:43, 9 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Drafts don't automatically get deleted if the corresponding mainspace article gets deleted. There's a lower threshold for drafts. If they get ignored, in 6 months they will be {{G13}}'d, or if they get submitted tendentiously, they can be taken to MfD. ♠PMC(talk) 03:57, 9 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

DYK for Audience immersion edit

On 10 October 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Audience immersion, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the use of audience immersion in video games has been studied as a strategy for promoting behavior change for the implementation of public health objectives? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Audience immersion. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Audience immersion), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. 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.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Elazar IX (Samaritan High Priests) edit

I think the deletion reason given there never really applied to 2 of the other articles listed there in SiliconProphet's comment--and I think it also doesn't apply to Amram VIII and Shalma III---for these 4 the material in the Comments section for them is extensive enough for an article. (and Elazar IX probably also because of the 2 photos, tho there are in the main article they'll never be noticed there & belong more logically in a separate article--I apologize for doing that before I asked you -- it had been reconstructed and G4d & I didn't see the photos myself & I thought it was completely new material-) . As I see it, this was a case where the articles should have been listed and considered separately. I would like to restore all the articles where there is in fact enough information for a full paragraph, not just a few words -- of course I will go thru deletion review if you really want, but I think you and I generally agree on things like this. (for all the others, I will make the redirects when I have the time because I think someone might logically look for the name) DGG ( talk ) 07:48, 11 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

I think you and I generally agree on things like this - I'm sorry, but I don't think we do. I strongly believe all topics need to meet GNG, and none of those articles were shown to pass GNG with substantive coverage. The article you restored, Yaacob I ben Aaharon ben Shalma, cites a Tripod page as a source - that's inexcusable in 2021. Another one, Amram VIII ben Shalma (which remains deleted) cites a source that doesn't even mention Amram by name. At best, these should be redirects to something like List of Samaritan high priests until it has actually been demonstrated that there is significant coverage in reliable sources. I fully intend to take Yaacob I ben Aaharon ben Shalma back to AfD if adequate sourcing is not located. ♠PMC(talk) 00:26, 12 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
I seem to notice our agreements more than our disagreements. People working from different viewpoints can still agree on individual instances. But I think you are right on this one, and I'm going to redirect it, as you suggested would be possible on the close. I remain unsure of the others, but i spent altogether too much time reading on the subject yesterday, and I'm going to leave the others alone at least for now. DGG ( talk ) 04:58, 12 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
I think generally we agree when it comes to deleting corporate spam and similar things. I'm just a hardliner about sourcing in general, even for historical things, and in this case I don't think there's enough to justify the numerous stubs. ♠PMC(talk) 23:36, 12 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

I think this is the wrong place to merge it. It should have been merged to Bilaspur (Lok Sabha constituency) and/or to 1962 Indian general election. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 03:05, 15 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Inuit clothing scheduled for TFA edit

This is to let you know that the above article has been scheduled as today's featured article for 7 November 2021. Please check that the article needs no amendments. Feel free to comment on the draft blurb at TFA. I suggest that you watchlist Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors from the day before this appears on Main Page. Thanks and congratulations on your work. Gog the Mild (talk) 21:10, 15 October 2021 (UTC) Inuit clothingReply

Thank you today for the article, introduced: "Inuit skin clothing is a tremendously interesting topic that I wrote a whole article about out of spite because we didn't have one and I wanted to merge an orphaned stub to it. The more I said about it, the more I learned there was to say about it, and my research resulted in not only the comprehensive primary article, but two child articles as well (history of Inuit clothing and research on Inuit clothing). It's a shame it took us until 2020 to have an article on the topic, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't happy I got to be the one to do it. Throughout their entire history, the Inuit have been master survivors, and their skin clothing system is a living testament to that: research has found that the traditional clothing of the Inuit is warmer and more comfortable than modern military and expedition gear. In addition to being effective, Inuit clothing is an expression of identity, artistic technique, spirituality, and style. While full outfits of traditional skin clothing are no longer worn all the time, it would be a mistake to pin Inuit clothing to the past – the Inuit continue to integrate the patterns and styles of their traditional clothing with their modern lives today."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:47, 7 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Abdulai Abukari edit

Hey, PMC,

You have had such success with PRODding articles, I thought I'd ask you what you think about this one. It came to my attention because it was moved to Draft space and back and there are claims of notability so I don't think speedy deletion is appropriate. Does it get your stamp of PROD approval? I ask because I have had so-so results with PRODding articles, many that I tag have had their tags removed within the week of waiting. Liz Read! Talk! 02:12, 17 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

The trick is only PROD'ing things that are 15-year-old orphans with long-departed creators so there's no one around to object ;) In all seriousness, I can tell you that those sources suck thoroughly. 1 is literally a photo caption, 2 doesn't mention him at all, and 3 is the homepage of a Ghanaian news site and not even a specific article. I didn't find anything significant on a quick search, although yadda yadda white person from Canada without access to non-English or paywalled African sources. Okay. Second question, as chieftain of Tibung does he have an NPOL claim? IMO not even slightly, as Tibung is a village or at best a small town. I'd call that equivalent to being the mayor of a little town in Idaho, which doesn't ding NPOL. (Like, the redlinks call him the "king" of Tibung, but that's a meaningless assertion without any verification that there is in fact a, uh, kingdom). So that's a solid PROD argument generally, but the article creator is currently active, so it would likely get de-PROD'd quickly.
Uh...the article history is a bit weird. After the article got moved to draft yesterday, the draftifier (Eevee) tagged the resulting redirect as R2. The creator then immediately overwrote the R2-tagged redirect with more article content, creating a split history between the draft and the mainspace version. Then someone else came along and redirected the draft to the mainspace article. Oh my god. This is so annoying.
I've gone ahead and reversed all that because I'm cranky. I've watchlisted both for a week and I'll keep an eye out for further shenanigans. If they keep returning it to main though, you'd be well within your rights to AfD it with the rationale I laid out. ♠PMC(talk) 08:56, 17 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
Yes, I was PROD'ding old technology articles that I think some editors still had a soft spot for. Some get pretty outraged when you tell them that a computer user group from 20+ years ago isn't really notable. Liz Read! Talk! 21:04, 30 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Tillandsia stubs edit

Hi, PMC,

Given the time schedule I work on Wikipedia, I've been handling these cultivar PRODs since they've shown up lately. I was surprised to see today's group vanish from the PROD list and it turns out that Spinningspark de-PROD'd over 100 articles this morning. I see he hasn't informed you of this yet so I thought I'd leave you a note. Thanks for your work, clearing out the clutter. Liz Read! Talk! 21:01, 30 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for letting me know. I have revert notifs on and the articles are on my watchlist, so I did notice and have discussed it with him at his talk page.

RE:SYED BADIUDDIN ANAS edit

While I know I'm supposed to assume good faith, I am slightly suspicious of that account.

Hah, yes, after the AfD closed as unanimous delete I felt it was reasonable to get back to things.

Hi PMC, thank you for deleting the Katarina Janikova article following the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Katarina Janikova.

There is also an identical article Kate Janik about her, and its AfD tag links to the same discussion page. I'm not sure how the two articles are connected – they appear to have the same history, same talk page, but obviously separate because when you deleted Katarina Janikova the Kate Janik article survived. Could you please delete Kate Janik too?

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Uncensored With Ali Tajdary edit

Hi PMC. You deleted Uncensored With Ali Tajdary per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Uncensored With Ali Tajdary a few days ago, but someone has already gone ahead and created Draft:Uncensored With Ali Tajdary. From looking at the AfD discussion, it appears that there was a strong consensus to delete this and it also appears there was some socking going on as well. I don't know if the latter is in play here, but the account that created the draft is not even a day old and the first thing edit made was to create the draft. Could take a look at the draft and see if it's basically what ended up deleted or whether it's a legitimate attempt to address the issues that were pointed out in the AfD? I've got no vested interest either way; I just came across the draft while checking on some non-free files flagged as WP:NFCC#9 violations. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:09, 29 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

There's nothing prohibiting the creation of drafts on deleted topics, even minutes after the deletion. It only becomes a problem if the person attempts to move it into mainspace without enough sourcing to "overcome" the consensus of the AfD. Generally if the timeframe since deletion is short there will usually not be enough new coverage to change things, for example. But that's for AfC to assess if they submit, and NPP to re-draft if they mainspace it themselves. ♠PMC(talk) 07:40, 29 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Can you post your three best sources so I can see that there actually is more coverage since the AfD, which was fairly recent? ♠PMC(talk) 00:06, 2 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for ur response movie was released in OTT Platform and here is the review https://www.cinemaexpress.com/kannada/news/2021/oct/25/karshanam-now-streaming-on-namma-flix-27478.html Here is asianet review https://kannada.asianetnews.com/entertainment/sandalwood-karshanam-film-review-pion4h here is kannadaprabha review https://archive.org/details/karshanam-review. Louis770 (talk) 19:02, 2 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

The first one of those is basically an announcement that the film will be streaming. The other two were already discussed at the AfD and were deemed not reliable/insufficient to pass GNG. At this point I'm not comfortable restoring to draft as it's clear the sourcing situation hasn't changed. ♠PMC(talk) 00:42, 4 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Buddleja pages edit

Hello! I've just had a message from Wikipedia that you propose to delete a whole string of Buddleja pages. I would politely suggest before you marked these pages for deletion, perhaps you should have consulted more widely with those who specialise in the genus and its various cultivars/hybrids. Several of these cultivars/hybrids are readily available and referenced in guides such as Beans, Hilliers and the RHS Plant Finder. Many have also recently been included on the Tree and Shrubs Online resource of The International Dendrology Society. Buddlejagarden (talk) 23:52, 1 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Per the rationale given in each PROD, there's a consensus that cultivars are not presumed notable the way that natural species are, and must meet WP:GNG by having significant independent coverage. Commercial nursery listings, trivial mentions, and database entries (RHS Plant Finder being a prime example of a database source) are not considered significant coverage for GNG basis. The consensus is clear from the recent discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Plants/Archive73#cultivars, as well as the unanimous deletion of undersourced cultivars across several AfDs (Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Plants#Cultivars 2: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tillandsia 'Feather Duster'). Please don't de-PROD these articles without ensuring there is significant independent coverage of the individual cultivars. ♠PMC(talk) 00:04, 2 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
No, the selection for deletion appears arbitrary, as many highlighted for deletion are also referenced in an RHS Plamt Collectors' Guide (Buddlejas - Stuart 2006: A 'reliable' source with an ISBN). Those with suitable references should remain. I don't have the time to follow up every cultivar with only seven days' notice, so I suppose you will have your way, but you are clearly making mistakes due to an unfamiliarity with the genus and its literature. Buddlejagarden (talk) 10:50, 2 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
It's not arbitrary. I'm working through the category in chunks so I don't flood CAT:PROD, going by size as smaller articles are less likely to have referenced content and multiple references. If you see a problem, by all means please bring it up at WT:PLANTS, but you ought to be aware of the existing consensus. I'm not disputing that the RHS Plant Collectors guide is reliable for basic facts, but it doesn't on its own constitute a pass of the WP:GNG, as the GNG requires multiple significant sources, which none of the cultivars I've been tagging have had so far. ♠PMC(talk) 15:02, 2 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
I don't have the time to correct the pages in seven days, but for many I could include additional references. You aren't listening… Buddlejagarden (talk) 16:28, 2 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
You have all the time in the world - anything deleted by PROD can be refunded at your request. Preferably that would be after you locate sources, of course.
I have been checking the sources cited in the articles and so far they have all been inadequate, and when searching I have not found anything additional that would support notability. A check for Buddleja globosa 'Lemon Ball' for example turned up lots of trivial mentions of the cultivar name in descriptions of the species (such as [1], [2], and [3]), but no significant coverage of the cultivar in any depth (its history, development, etc). The most I've seen boiled down to "it's yellow". It's not sufficient to support a claim of notability. If you have additional in-depth sources for that one, I'd be happy to see them, and if you post them here I'll do the work and put them into the article. ♠PMC(talk) 17:23, 2 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

If one were to apply your criteria evenly, then most of the current Buddleja cultivar pages will be deleted, as the current formal literature is sparse and not well updated. In the case of 'Lemon Ball', Beans lists it and includes a putative origin; but it is an older cultivar of such familiarity, no new publication is likely to consider it in any greater detail. Buddleja 'Winter Sun' is distinct and notable enough for a separate page - two additional references are available - Stuart 2006 [1], as cited on numerous other Buddleja pages, and Trees and Shrubs Online, which includes a new and original botanical description, and additional cultivation details - https://treesandshrubsonline.org/articles/buddleja/buddleja-winter-sun/. Buddlejagarden (talk) 23:35, 2 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

then most of the current Buddleja cultivar pages will be deleted - if they have inadequate sourcing, this is the point. As I've said, there's clear consensus across WT:PLANTS as well as multiple unanimous AfDs that cultivars without GNG-adequate sourcing should be deleted. I am not the only person who feels this way, just the one who decided to take action. Again, if you think the consensus is wrong or I'm interpreting it wrongly, by all means please reopen the discussion at WT:PLANTS. I will probably take Lemon Ball to AfD as there isn't much in Stuart or that Trees and Shrubs site for it (Stuart is on Archive.org, which is useful), but for Winter Sun, as promised, I'll update and expand the article. I'll check any future PRODs vs both sources as well, since both are reliable. ♠PMC(talk) 00:39, 4 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hello PMC, User:Glorious Engine moved the page Li Lingwei to Li Lingwei (badminton) which was in violation of consensus as per WP:COMMONNAME, which i tried to revert but looks like history of page lies with Li Lingwei badminton still.

First, you should not be trying to drag a random admin into this without first trying to have an actual human conversation with the user in question (not a template, but an actual civil message that you typed yourself). Second, trying to revert the move by copy/pasting the content causes attribution problems; don't do it again please. (See WP:COPYPASTE for an explanation). I'm going to revert everything to status quo for now, but it's your responsibility to communicate with the user in question if they start again. ♠PMC(talk) 05:28, 5 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

(edit conflict) "3. Context (location, nationality, etc.) for the activities that made the person notable." That she came from Nunavut, the homeland of the Canadian Inuit, is not irrelevant; it's context. And even if you must remove it from the lead, you can do the work of putting it elsewhere in the article - don't just ditch sourced information because you feel it doesn't fit the MOS. As for discussion, the process is WP:BRD - you made a bold change, I reverted, it's on you to discuss before simply reverting again. ♠PMC(talk) 11:54, 21 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
'Inuit' can refer to people in Greenland, Canada, or Alaska - the nationality therefore is key context, far more useful to a reader. I'm happy for it to be re-located as a compromise. GiantSnowman 11:55, 21 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for the comment about your edits on The Rice Thresher page. I understand your points, and I am happy to remove information on the page, but the wholesale removal of all the information does not seem to be an appropriate solution and is akin to throwing the baby out with the bath water. How would you like to proceed with a proper winnowing of the information? I can remove the Section sites to the paper's website with ease.

Kameelion edit

Hello, PMC,

I'm not sure why I was curious but I looked into this "artist's" history on Wikipedia and found that, as a teenager, he had an article at Ben Williams (Singer) that was deleted 5 or 6 times and Ben Alekzsander Williams which was the subject of an AfD that even went to Deletion Review. So, he has an even longer history of self-promotion on Wikipedia than voters at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kameelion (2nd nomination) might have realized. I count 4 AfDs all with a Delete decision which, to me, means that future articles should be deleted on sight.

Query edit

Hello, again, PMC,

I'm very much a newcomer to closing deletion discussions as my normal activity is patrolling speedy deletion categories. But I saw this case today, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vietnamese Immigration to Mexico, which was closed early by a very new editor. It was closed "No consensus" which was peculiar as there was no participation except from the nominator. In cases like these, where they are closed by an inexperienced editor, do you typically reverse the closure and relist the case?

There is some other strange activity, the page was moved and a second AFD was then initiated today (at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vietnamese immigration to Mexico) and the page creator removed the AFD tag (which I reverted), who knows, maybe some meat puppetry is involved. Any way, your advice would be appreciated if you could take a look at the situation with this article and see what your spidey sense tells you. Thank you! Liz Read! Talk! 21:42, 27 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Based on behavior it looks like the user is young (userpage confirms this) and probably a little over-enthused about things. Either way definitely a bad NAC, and you're always justified in reverting those unless you're involved in the discussion otherwise. The same closer had another NAC at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Serbian Mexicans reverted recently too. To me this doesn't feel like coordination between the creator and the closer, more like two editors being wrong in different ways in the same general area. Unfortunately it looks like no one has had a human conversation with the closer on his talk page about this stuff - you may want to try that as step one and see what kind of response you get. ♠PMC(talk) 22:20, 27 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Tyulgan (disambiguation) edit

Hello, PC,

I did a page move that I thought was uncontroversial but then looked at the page history (which I should have done first) and it looked less straight-forward so I reverted the move. Now, I'm not sure where this page should go and whether there should even be a disambiguation page with only one existing article listed. Can you clear things up for me? Liz Read! Talk! 01:06, 10 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

I think it's okay to do it for geographic locations, since they're sort of assumed to be notable. It's also a Russian locality and those are... odd. Ymblanter, can you remind me what the local consensus is for disambig pages for those? ♠PMC(talk) 03:26, 10 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
This is not a dab page, this is a set index (there are some important differences, for example, one does not need to disambiguate between one existing page and a redink, and as a dab page this one can be speedy deleted. The most reasonable option is probably to move it to Tyulgan, I do not see any other obvious meanings of this name. In this particular case, things are complicated by the cut-and-paste move which I apparently have not fully cleaned up.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:30, 10 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for trimming "also starring" content. edit

I appreciate your removal of other stars' names from biographies when they contribute no information about the subject of the article. I'm looking now at Peter Leeds, and I noticed another article or two on my watchlist today that you had trimmed similarly. I have removed that kind of content from some biographies myself, and I had begun to think that I might be the only one who feels that listing the star of a show and other co-stars in an episode clutters an article.

You are definitely not the only one, it drives me crazy. It's just clutter, unless there's something significant about the co-star (and there never is).

SnowRunner Gameplay section edit

Hello PMC! I recall that you were the one who helped me write a gameplay section for SnowRunner. Since then I've come to learn that writing that without sources to go off of was rather stupid. I'm now faced with attempting to source it myself, however I've only been able to get a reference that would apply to the entire section. What do you suggest I do? Scrap the entire section and try and see what RS's say, or attempt to source what's been written? ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 02:00, 2 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

Per Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Video_games#Gameplay, you can use primary sources like game guides or manuals for gameplay sections if there aren't secondary sources that cover the information, although obviously secondary sources are preferred. You can use information from reviews for these sections, it doesn't have to be sources that are solely focused on the gameplay. For example if you look at the gameplay sections for Islanders (video game) and Islands: Non-Places, you can see that I built them from how the reviews described playing each one. You could try leaving the section as-is and looking for refs for each existing section, then removing or rewriting anything you can't find a reference for. If you can't get enough references, you may have to blow it up and start again. ♠PMC(talk) 03:25, 2 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
