Draft Mfd

I forgot to log in, sorry my bad if it says user 2001. I noticed that you agreed to keep my draft and I really appreciate it. Thank you very much. I agree with you that KJP1 is trying to delete/nominate several suicide related articles and drafts for deletion on the basis that it's not encyclopedic. I have noticed that he was doing his usual nonsense complaints about my draft with another wikipedia administrator named Primefac. I have told him to look at other peoples suicide articles to prove that they have inappropriate information just like my draft but he just doesn't care. He just wants to prove to himself that what he is saying is correct. Can you please try your best to remove the Mfd template off my draft and can you please help me to move my draft into article space because I am trying my best to provide sufficient information into this article. I would really appreciate it.--Anonymous1941 (talk) 15:47, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

Omer atab biography

Dear Chrissymad,

I have taken an initiative to create Omer Aftab page as my first project on Wikipedia. After thorough research, I found Omer Aftab to be one of a selfless person fighting for violence against women and specifically breast cancer awareness in Pakistan. And he has not been listed in Wikipedia although his achievements are worthy of being on Wikipedia.

You can search "Omer Aftab Breast Cancer" or "Omer Aftab Violence Against Women" on google or youtube to see him in action.

He has been internationally recognized and also received an award for his work from IPRA Golden Awared (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPRA_Golden_World_Awards) you can also check their website as well as the Wikipedia page that mentions his award.

Kindly guide me how to best achieve success of creating this biography page for Omer Aftab and avoid continuous deletion.

Appreciate you help.

Proposed deletion of Linkurious

The article Linkurious has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

clear promotional therefore DELETE. No historical value or of any other sort. No really any reason this article to exist in WP. Probably also of WP:COI from the major contributor of this article

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. 188.4.85.230 (talk) 21:14, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

Partial revert

Hello Chrissymad, I partially reverted you and gave a rationale, but please let me know if you disagree with it. The book reference seems valid, and the link to the author's website was a deadlink. Best! --1l2l3k (talk) 13:18, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

I have reverted back prior to seeing this message as it's not at all a valid reference - merely being in a book doesn't make it RS and it's refspam by an SPA who is self-promoting his own works across this project CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 13:18, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

The fact that he is a SPA doesn't necessarily mean that he has a conflict of interest. I actually believe that he is a reliable source. What damage can Wikipedia have, if he is probably one of the best sources we have on Orthodoxy in the English language? On the contrary, you are removing those few sources we have. If you have concerns about the source being unreliable, you should seek consensus at WP:RSN, not remove. --1l2l3k (talk) 13:29, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

He is citing himself, his own book which is a direct conflict of interest and there is no proof that this is a reliable source. And yes being an SPA does literally mean he has a COI. Being in a *book* doesn't make it reliable automatically. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 13:30, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

And to add to that, it's the equivalent of WP:SELFPUBLISHED all hits for "St. Eadfrith Press" are his book that he's cited everywhere on Wikipedia. So, no, it doesn't need to go to RSN and him claiming to be an expert is meaningless to Wikipedia. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 13:38, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

Self-published doesn't mean unreliable. Besides, I don't see many publications in English on Orthodox saints, with the exception of some translations. In general a source is better than nothing, and its removal is not improving wikipedia, it's just depriving it from some better support. Per policy Self-published sources can be reliable, and they can be used (except for claims about living people). Sometimes, a self-published source is even the best possible source...--1l2l3k (talk) 14:11, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

If you want to include it, 1l2l3k the onus is on you to prove that it is a reliable source. The fact that there are few publications about any given subject doesn't mean we will or should include some random researchers self published material. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 14:14, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

And in addition to everything I've already said, it wasn't removed just for being self published, it is original research and does not appear to be a reliable source which is prohibited by policy. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 14:19, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

You provided a link to the book's Amazon page. What is in that page that tells you that it "does not appear to be a reliable source". Don't get me wrong, you may be 100% right, but what is it in the Amazon link that tells you it's unreliable? --1l2l3k (talk) 14:33, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

How about we do this the correct way round, 1l2l3k. If you want to include this source on Wikipedia, YOU explain what makes it a reliable source and YOU explain what makes it appropriate for use. Nick (talk) 14:44, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

Nick: I don't know if the source would be qualified as reliable or not. It's not very easy to do so that's why we have RSN. Normally, if Hutchinson, is a Theology PhD, that would be a good first step in being determined that he is RN, but that may be not sufficient, as a chair in a university may be seen as necessary too. Many wikipedians would go either way as to whether he is RS. My question was on the Amazon, if there is anything that makes that unreliable, as I became curious. If not, no big deal, and I won't fight this source, I'm not interested enough. Also, please do not capitalize your letters, it's not necessary, I can read your writing very well. Have a great day! --1l2l3k (talk) 14:49, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

Take a look inside the book, it's pretty obvious why. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 14:53, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

@1l2l3k: You were having difficulty reading what Chrissymad wrote, so I thought I would ensure my comment was sufficiently clear. I, myself, am somewhat unclear on the situation (i.e I'm confused as fuck) but from what I can determine, you have absolutely no idea what makes a source reliable and absolutely no certainty at all that the source you were adding to an article was reliable, but were happy to add it back into an article anyway with an edit summary which described the source as a "good source". Is that an accurate and correct assessment of the situation, thus far ? Nick (talk) 14:54, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

Good means better than nothing, doesn't mean that I found it reliable. Never said so. And no, I had no trouble reading Chrissymad's responses, I was reading them just fine. I was just having a very fine conversation with Chrissymad, and then you stepped in, and started being rude, by using profanities. If me being here bothers you so much, I won't comment here anymore. --1l2l3k (talk) 15:05, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

1l2l3k Then you are mistaken on how RS works - "means better than nothing" is not a standard on the English Wikipedia and we do not allow original research which is literally what his books are (and you can view this in the book directly.) Perhaps you shouldn't be assessing the suitability of a source when you're unfamiliar with these policies and couldn't even be bothered to review the source itself. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 15:07, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

Chrissymad, Nick I was looking at it through google, and didnt' see many pages, just a summary on the saint, so it didn't look that bad, nothing exotic there, so I was wondering what was so bad about this book. Then I looked at the Amazon link that you sent and, initially, I couldn't understand why you sent me that link. Further I clicked on it, and, lol, the author thanks the Starbucks manager that allowed him to stay there and write the book. Ok, lol, after that I am 100% that this book is not reliable. Alright. Whew, that was a laugh! --1l2l3k (talk) 15:17, 7 August 2018 (UTC) Also, sorry for any distress that I may have created, it was not intended: in good faith I was trying to do the right thing, and try not to lose sourced material, but that source is definitely not reliable. See you around! --1l2l3k (talk) 15:25, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

COI

Hi Chrissy,

Thanks for your comment on Philippe_Parreno. The only reason I said that time had passed since the COI edited is that the user listed as a COI commented on the article talk page stating that there was some confusion, and that all their edits have been removed anyway. It was also something I read on the COI guideline page, so thought this was a good opportunity to start fresh and encourage some more edits since there is so much public info available for this artist - this page used to be a really good resource.

Recent AIV reports

Hi Crissymad, When you say "see SBL", in an AIV report, what exactly is it you're asking an admin to do? There don't seem to be any edits, deleted edits, or filter log hits for any of the three accounts you reported. Is there some other "SBL log" that shows attempted edits that isn't in the filter log? The fault appears to be mine, because User:Edgar181's reply means he sees something too, but I've poked around a little and can't find where I'm supposed to look. --Floquenbeam (talk) 14:47, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

SBL is the spam blacklist + reported as a bot as it is identical to spambot behavior and the normal spambot links. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 14:53, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

These are not random reports either, I should clarify. They are without a doubt spambots and there has never been a single instance of a good faith addition of the links they attempted to add. They also meet every criteria of a global spambot pattern as you can see with the NSAMTR filter on Meta. In either case, I've requested a global lack since they meet that threshold. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 14:55, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Sorry, you're going over my head. First, I figured out SBL mean spam blacklist, but I don't see where I can look at the reports of attempted spam link additions. I would have thought it would show up in the edit filter, but it doesn't. Second, I have no idea what a NSAMTR filter is; either it's new since I was last active on AIV, or it's specialized and not widely known. While there are no doubt many admins more up to date than me on all this, when you make reports like this on AIV with no links or context, admins who don't know all this SBL stuff aren't going to be able to help. --Floquenbeam (talk) 15:02, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

SBL is not new and neither is the filter (it's a global filter and I don't have access rights.) The SBL is located in the public log section of any given user under "spam blacklist". This is a standard bot behavior and has been long established also by filter 499. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 15:06, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Special:Log/spamblacklist shows the attempted edits from the three editors in question. I can see that each of these editors made one attempt each to add a blacklisted link. But since I don't see multiple accounts trying to add the same link, I think this is simply too little information for admins at WP:AIV to go on. I realize that there is a longer term pattern of spamming of these links (otherwise they wouldn't be blacklisted) but without knowing the history (and no way of easily learning that history), it's hard to act on one attempted edit. If these accounts typically make one spamming attempt then abandon the account, which seems likely here, then is it worth your time reporting them or admins' time blocking them? -- Ed (Edgar181) 15:28, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

These are not standard spammers, they are spambots, so yes, they should be reported blocked and globally locked. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 15:29, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

FWIW, I’m pretty familiar with spambot patterns, so I always block on sight locally and think admins should if they’re aware of how spambots work: one edit on any project is enough for a steward to globally lock, and we aren’t actually dealing with real people here. That being said, stewards are more familiar with dealing with these, and reporting them on meta or in #wikimedia-stewards ^connect is often more effective than AIV simply because most local admins aren’t familiar with this. I also don’t think admins who aren’t familiar with spambots should decline the reports, but I also decline every “genre warring” report at AIV since I don’t think it is a real thing, and that pisses people off too...

Hi, you have added a template message to Restricted Code citing

1. A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject. (August 2018) 2. This article contains content that is written like an advertisement. (August 2018) 3. The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline. (August 2018)

I edited this page substantially, to remove several things that I thought might be considered "like an advertisement", and leave behind only factual statements, including adding an additional reference to one remaining statement. So I considered (2) dealt with.

I have no idea how to counteract (3) as it is clearly your opinion, but I could cite dozens of pages that exisit on wikipedia for very similar bands, who are not any more noteable than Restricted Code - a band that released several records on major independent record labels, appeared on BBC broadcast sessions and toured throughout the UK and Europe playing major venues.

As for (1), yes I am conntected, but whilst I knew that meant you had to add or edit content carefully I did not think that was a reason to stop publication of the page: after taking the action to resolve your issue (2) I removed your template but subsequently you threatened me with closure of my Wikipedia account if I do so again. So what else do I have to do to have this minor but important encyclopedia page published?

A new user has just appeared and, in constructing its user page, it included this diff. This strongly suggests that this user might be one and the same as "The Vixen". The editing behaviour is anomalous for a new user and when I checked the inward links to The Vixen, a list on one of your sub-pages popped up.

Elizabeth Cadell

I declined your prod on Elizabeth Cadell. While I'm having trouble finding sources online that are worth adding, I'm finding a whole lot of mentions that lead me to believe that she's notable enough for an article, once we track down the sourcing. I added a couple of Kirkus reviews, and a Powells.com interview with Nancy Pearl to help support the article. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 16:11, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

I also checked a library, newspapers etc...and came up with virtually nothing useful. The Kirkus reviews are something but I don't find that they lend themselves to notability in this case as it's just a collection of 2-3 sentence reviews. I'll nominate for AFD but will withdraw if you are able to find suitable sources. As a side note, I'm not sure any interview will help this article.

Contrary to the yelling I've had from third parties on this talk page and elsewhere, I am not averse to you running at RfA full stop and have never expressed the view you should never be an admin, ever.

WikiCup 2018 September newsletter

The fourth round of the 2018 WikiCup has now come to an end. The eight users who made it to the final round had to score a minimum of 422 points to qualify, with the top score in the round being 4869 points. The leaders in round 4 were:

• Courcelles scored a magnificent 4869 points, with 92 good articles on Olympics-related themes. Courcelles' bonus points alone exceeded the total score of any of the other contestants!
• Kees08 was second with 1155 points, including a high-scoring featured article for Neil Armstrong, two good topics and some Olympics-related good articles.
• Cas Liber, with 1066 points, was in third place this round, with two featured articles and a good article, all on natural history topics.
• Other contestants who qualified for the final round were Nova Crystallis, Iazyges, SounderBruce, Kosack and Ceranthor.

During round four, 6 featured articles and 164 good articles were promoted by WikiCup contestants, 13 articles were included in good topics and 143 good article reviews were performed. There were also 10 "in the news" contributions on the main page and 53 "did you knows". Congratulations to all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck, and let the best editor win!

Baggalútur

You have asked for the speedy deletion of Baggalútur, Wikipedia article on one of the biggest and long-standing bands of Iceland, an article I had created in January 2014. The reason given for the "speedy" being a copyright violation from a so-called page https://play.google.com/store/music/artist/Utangar%C3%B0smenn?id=Aoq2hsbxum5lfn5kokwapyjpoc4&hl=en a page about a mere one album and tracklist, whereas the page I created enumerates 11 albums by the band from 2005 to 2015. The page you indicate also says: Description provided by Wikipedia under Creative Commons Attribution CC-BY-SA 4.0 meaning they had taken from our Wikipedia page at a later date, and not that we were copying from them. And now those lines they copied from us at Wikipedia are grounds for speedy deletion of our Wikipedia page to deprive our readers of vital information about an Icelandic band selling 11 studio albums and countless hits on Icelandic charts over the years? And how about this song "Mamma þarf að djamma" staying 13 weeks at number one in Iceland becoming the biggest hit of Iceland that year? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DH4lVfueYF4 You should seriously reconsider what is just a rush job of a vital article, a judgement made on totally erroneous grounds as I indicated above. A brief look at the Icelandic page of the article will also prove the great notability of the band werldwayd (talk) 20:11, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

Notable or not it's insanely promotional so it doesn't address the other side of the speedy which is G11. If it's a vital article, you should have no problem finding appropriate sources and neutral wording. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 20:13, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

To do that as you requested, the speedy deletion should be removed and we must be given enough time. Google Play copies thousands of articles from us, so blindly following texts from there to blame us is out of place. I've reread the article and it just describes the band in very few words and no promotion whatsoever. I am not from Iceland and have no relation whatsoever. You should spend more time on articles and the effort editors put to prepare article about non-English subjects where almost all the literature is in local language, before issuing such value judgements. It hads a few facts and a listing taken from the Icelandic page. What is so promotional about that, if I may ask. I will work on this urgently to save it from oblivion, but a little consideration to fellow colleagues should have been considered. The fact of the matter is that this article has been here for years and there is no need to speedy delete it. werldwayd (talk) 20:22, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

Many thanks. Much appreciated. On to other articles then. One article more, one article less, who cares. English Wikipedia readers do not need to be "promoted to" about an Icelandic band they shouldn't care about I guess. werldwayd (talk) 20:50, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

• Vishalinfidigit (talk · contribs)
  • Draft:Zivame (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hi Chrissymad,

Thanks for updating about the COI (Conflict of Interest).
Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest

I have read this page & would like to disclose about the COI.

Zivame is our client & we do Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for them. We discovered that they don't have any Wikipedia Page. Zivame is a famous lingerie brand & have multiple outlets within the different region in India. Therefore, we took this opportunity to create a page. Asked Zivame team to collect strong Notability URLs more than 5 in the count. Later, we have updated the content as per the Wikipedia Guidelines. And we were waiting for the review.

In terms of the Costing:
"Editors with a COI, including paid editors, are expected to disclose it whenever they seek to change an affected article's content. Anyone editing for pay must disclose who is paying them, who the client is, and any other relevant affiliation; this is a requirement of the Wikimedia Foundation. Also, COI editors should not edit affected articles directly, but propose changes on article talk pages instead."

We didn't ask any additional cost from Zivame team. It's normal monthly billing which we charge as basic SEO with Indian standard rates.

Feeback:

• Is this information good enough to make this Zivame Page live?
• If there are any changes in content than please address it so that I will try my best to keep it natural & neutral

Prior Submit Experience:

1. I did try adding Infidigit Consultant Pvt Ltd Page, however, it was promotional / less notability it got rejected. Now I am waiting for more notability sources so that I can try it again.
   
   

Conclusion:
I like Wikipedia very much, have read lots of articles & also helped me a lot in everything. Therefore, in return if I can contribute something nothing like it.

Do let me know your thoughts on how to make this page live.
Just started with Wikipedia & will try to add value to it.

Best Regards,
Vishal Gohel

Reverting spam

Hello. I noticed that you reverted spamlinks on Whitefield, Bangalore but didn't warn the IP. To help keep track of which external links are being regularly spammed, and thus candidates for being blacklisted, it would be of great help if you would warn the user/IP and add the external link to the warning (formatted like this: [http://spam.brigadewoods.ind.in]) since the spammers will then show up when an external link search is being made (like this). I posted a warning and the external link in this case, since I happened to notice the revert, but I'm not always online. Cheers, - Tom | Thomas.W ^talk 10:57, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

Personally, I am happy not to be addressed as "sir", because to me it has a feel of cringing sycophancy, as well as being stiff and over formal. However, the fact that you get it so often and I so rarely puzzles me. I have now checked back and the last time I got a "sir" on my talk page was in May 2017, not far short of 2000 talk page edits ago, while you get it quite frequently. What do I do that discourages editors from calling me "sir"? There must be something. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 15:06, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

• You could always do like Premeditated Chaos did and put the “obnoxious pink userbox” up. I’ve been told it works :p TonyBallioni (talk) 15:09, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
• I'm not sure, Mrs. Watson. You could always add "sir" to your signature, and take out that pseudonym part. Drmies (talk) 20:08, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

I read this conversation and thought of Peppermint Patty telling Marcie to "stop calling me sir"! Just sayin' Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 18:03, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

Well spotted, @Ritchie333:. I had forgotten that. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 13:17, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

• For a very long time, I also thought Chrissy is a male editor; as nickname for chris/christopher. Now i think it is short for Christabella/Michelangelo/Christine. @JamesBWatson: I think it depends on what type of editors you are dealing with. Most of the indian editors tend to use sir/madam. Especially the paid ones. —usernamekiran(talk) 11:56, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

@Usernamekiran: yes, in fact when I told a couple of members of my family about this I said that I bet the editors were Indian. Perhaps the answer to my question is just that Chrissy does more editing than I do in India-related areas. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 14:48, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

Assistance with March Networks draft submitted to AfC?

Hello, Chrissy -

Thanks very much for reviewing my proposed March Networks article; I appreciate it. Since the submission has been declined, I was wondering if you'd be open to providing me with some recommendations on how to improve it so that it better meets NPOV and other requirements? I'd love the opportunity to pick your brain about how to make sure we're stringently following the MOS.

Also, because I want to make sure I'm completely transparent about things, you can see my COI declaration on my user page regarding this submission.

Why have you reverted this edit - the reasons for the changes are well explained in the edit history.

All the links where to different compilations of the same work. This work needs an article on it.5.198.10.236 (talk) 01:22, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

Because it's a disambiguation page and is useful. Write a separate article and leave the DAB. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 01:23, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

The name of the article is/ would be Óláfs saga Tryggvasonar - no disambiguation is really needed because they are all versions of the same work .. there is only one topic.

Pharmacy Management System reappears

Software programs for pharmacy workflow management appears to be nearly the same content as Draft:Pharmacy management system, recreated under a new name. David notMD (talk) 00:53, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

I shortened it by half, but IMO still an iffy article.David notMD (talk) 14:37, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

Another editor changed name of Software.... to Pharmacy management system, and then left a note at the Draft under that name - still out there - that the article now exists in the shortened form, so the draft should not be reviewed again. David notMD (talk) 17:17, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

NPR Newsletter No.13 18 September 2018

Hello Praxidicae, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

The New Page Feed currently has 2700 unreviewed articles, up from just 500 at the start of July. For a while we were falling behind by an average of about 40 articles per day, but we have stabilised more recently. Please review some articles from the back of the queue if you can (Sort by: 'Oldest' at Special:NewPagesFeed), as we are very close to having articles older than one month.

Project news

• The New Page Feed now has a new "Articles for Creation" option which will show drafts instead of articles in the feed, this shouldn't impact NPP activities and is part of the WMF's AfC Improvement Project.

As part of this project, the feed will have some larger updates to functionality next month. Specifically, ORES predictions will be built in, which will automatically flag articles for potential issues such as vandalism or spam. Copyright violation detection will also be added to the new page feed. See the projects's talk page for more info.

• There are a number of coordination tasks for New Page Patrol that could use some help from experienced reviewers. See Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Coordination#Coordinator tasks for more info to see if you can help out.

Other

• A new summary page of reliable sources has been created; Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources/Perennial sources, which summarizes existing RfCs or RSN discussions about regularly used sources.

Moving to Draft and Page Mover

• Some unsuitable new articles can be best reviewed by moving them to the draft space, but reviewers need to do this carefully and sparingly. It is most useful for topics that look like they might have promise, but where the article as written would be unlikely to survive AfD. If the article can be easily fixed, or if the only issue is a lack of sourcing that is easily accessible, tagging or adding sources yourself is preferable. If sources do not appear to be available and the topic does not appear to be notable, tagging for deletion is preferable (PROD/AfD/CSD as appropriate). See additional guidance at WP:DRAFTIFY.
• If the user moves the draft back to mainspace, or recreates it in mainspace, please do not re-draftify the article (although swapping it to maintain the page history may be advisable in the case of copy-paste moves). AfC is optional except for editors with a clear conflict of interest.
• Articles that have been created in contravention of our paid-editing-requirements or written from a blatant NPOV perspective, or by authors with a clear COI might also be draftified at discretion.
• The best tool for draftification is User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js^(info). Kindly adapt the text in the dialogue-pop-up as necessary (the default can also be changed like this). Note that if you do not have the Page Mover userright, the redirect from main will be automatically tagged as CSD R2, but in some cases it might be better to make this a redirect to a different page instead.
• The Page Mover userright can be useful for New Page Reviewers; occasionally page swapping is needed during NPR activities, and it helps avoid excessive R2 nominations which must be processed by admins. Note that the Page Mover userright has higher requirements than the NPR userright, and is generally given to users active at Requested Moves. Only reviewers who are very experienced and are also very active reviewers are likely to be granted it solely for NPP activities.

List of other useful scripts for New Page Reviewing

Twinkle provides a lot of the same functionality as the page curation tools, and some reviewers prefer to use the Twinkle tools for some/all tasks. It can be activated simply in the gadgets section of 'preferences'. There are also a lot of options available at the Twinkle preferences panel after you install the gadget. In terms of other gadgets for NPR, HotCat is worth turning on. It allows you to easily add, remove, and change categories on a page, with name suggestions. MoreMenu also adds a bunch of very useful links for diagnosing and fixing page issues. User:Equazcion/ScriptInstaller.js(info): Installing scripts doesn't have to be complicated. Go to your common.js and copy importScript( 'User:Equazcion/ScriptInstaller.js' ); into an empty line, now you can install all other scripts with the click of a button from the script page! (Note you need to be at the ".js" page for the script for the install button to appear, not the information page) User:TheJosh/Scripts/NewPagePatrol.js(info): Creates a scrolling new pages list at the left side of the page. You can change the number of pages shown by adding the following to the next line on your common.js page (immediately after the line importing this script): npp_num_pages=20; (Recommended 20, but you can use any number from 1 to 50). User:Primefac/revdel.js(info): Is requesting revdel complicated and time consuming? This script helps simplify the process. Just have the Copyvio source URL and go to the history page and collect your diff IDs and you can drop them into the script Popups and it will create a revdel request for you. User:Lourdes/PageCuration.js(info): Creates a "Page Curation" link to Special:NewPagesFeed up near your sandbox link. User:Writ Keeper/Scripts/deletionFinder.js: Creates links next to the title of each page which show up if it has been previously deleted or nominated for deletion. User:Evad37/rater.js(info): A fantastic tool for adding WikiProject templates to article talk pages. If you add: rater_autostartNamespaces = 0; to the next line on your common.js, the prompt will pop up automatically if a page has no Wikiproject templates on the talk page (note: this can be a bit annoying if you review redirects or dab pages commonly).

Mohammed Al Nabhani

Why did you decline Draft:Mohammed Al Nabhani? The sources in the article show that he passes WP:NTENNIS (specifically, his long Davis cup record and his ATP main draw appearance). Iffy★Chat -- 08:09, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

I did not decline for notability. I declined it because it is improperly sourced and there are NO references.CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 11:14, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

The external links are references to the statistics that support his notability claim. Iffy★Chat -- 11:46, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

and we require in line sources per the ILC declones. Go fix it if you want to accept it but the bulk of the content is unsourced. Again. I did not decline for notability CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 12:02, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

WP:MINREF and WP:BLPRS only requires inline citations if the material is being challenged or is contentious, neither of which are the case here. Iffy★Chat -- 12:12, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

that applies in main space. If we weren’t allowed to decline for ILC, then it wouldn’t be a option. I’ve explained my piece, of you want to fix it and accept it, be my guest.CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 12:14, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

And I'll note this was moved to draft by an experienced editor, Boleyn, for precisely the reason I've declined it. You adding one more basic listing as an external link does not change this. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 13:41, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

If this article were nominated for deletion at AFD instead of being draftified, would it be likely to survive? Iffy★Chat -- 13:58, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Iffy, the issue with allowing pages through AfC without proper sourcing is that they tend to stay in that state for a long time until someone nominates it for deletion or sends it back to draftspace. In this case, that's already happened, so references to reliable sources must be added to the article before it can be accepted. I just did a quick Google news search [3], and I see plenty of sources that can be used to improve the article. Add two or three of them and resubmit. There's no sense in arguing about this further.

Article for review

KankP (talk) 11:24, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

Dear (User:Chrissymad) - I have recently started contributing to Wikipedia community in volunteer capacity and have made a contribution (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Omkar_Rai). Somehow this is marked for deletion and I don't understand why as all the references are of very repute, reliable, authentic and prestigious. Also the text sourcing and formatting is also in a standard format. Would request you to have a review and suggest me if you see any improvement to help me make my contribution worthy for wikipedia.

Looking forward to learn and contribute.
