Hi. Thanks for your work on NPP. Wikipedia can sometimes take half an hour to register links in "What links here" and also the orphan flag on the New Pages Feed. It's usually best to leave it half an hour before tagging to ensure the system has caught up. Regards. -- John B123 ( talk) 21:14, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
Please can you help me with finding additional or more specific for the article Herbert Gladstone McDavid (and Tracey Gloster where Kj cheetham made the same comment). What do you have in mind? You musst have thought of something when you added the tag?? I don't understand how many categories are needed, or how to find suitable specific categories for some articles. McDavid is most notable for being a senior manager, chairman in the shipping industry, and for his wartime activities. The category Marine occupations does not have this type of occupation. There is a category Ship management - would that be suitable for a person (and why isn't it listed as a marine occupation?). For Gloster, she is most notable as a biochemist, and more specifically a carbohydrate biochemist. I have put her into categories British biochemists and as well as British biophysicists and British chemists because of the technologies she uses. What would be more specific? -- MerielGJones ( talk) 21:29, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
Instead of throwing notability tags around right, left and centre, you should take the articles in question to AFD. I suggest you read the usage instructions at {{Template:Notability}}: "Do not use this tag merely because the page requires significant work. Notability requires only that appropriate sources have been published about the subject. It does not require that any editor has already named these sources, followed the neutral, encyclopedic style, or otherwise written a good article".

Furthermore, before resorting to wanton draftification of articles, open a discussion with your concerns to find out what the author intends and seek WP:CONSENSUS. No Great Shaker ( talk) 23:15, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
