Could you please undeleted this article? It was created by a sock with UPE and COI issues, but it covers a non-controversial 19th century teacher and is unlikely to have issues related to their reason for being blocked; I believe the encyclopedia is better with this article kept, rather than deleted.

Hi there.
A few months ago you deleted Louis Partridge's page. I would like to Draftify the article. Since the reason was WP:NACTOR, the fact that the subject of the page has several upcoming roles (including one in a show premiering in less than a month and another one announced just today) makes me think that he would qualify the criteria in the near future. It seems a shame to have to rebuild the article from scratch, but I am unsure what to do to Draftify the page. Is my posting here enough or should I do something else?

Hi Liz, although I don't really have anything against the soft delete here, I'm not sue it's admissible: the article was PRODed and then dePRODed back in 2012. If you feel that this is so long ago that we can ignore it, that'd be fine with me, but should perhaps be mentioned in the close. -- Randykitty ( talk) 07:18, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
Hi Liz, thank you for taking the time to close the above discussion. I note that you have also salted the page Grandpa Gohan as suggested. Is it also possible for you to salt Grandpa Son Gohan as well to prevent any potential editors from recreating the same? The reason why I suggested salting the other page was because the other page has a history of being frequently recreated without consideration for Wikipedia's notability guidelines, and Grandpa Gohan was simply the latest variant of the persistent disruption from Grandpa Son Gohan. At least one other editor who participated in the discussion agreed with my observation of the history of disruption. Haleth ( talk) 08:08, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I think it would be beneficial to undelete the article about /info/en/?search=Crowfield_Airfield

Hi Liz, please see https://w.wiki/58Df , i tagded three article for deletion as those were created by a LTA sock. I think we should not encourage sock by keeping them.

FYI, after you declined the improper G7 tag, the creator came along and did G7-tag it. So I've honored that request, but have also left both accounts {{ subst:maq}}, since it's just a touch suspicious for one user to have correctly guessed that another wanted to G7 a page.

May i ask why my edits to NeverTry4Me's archives have been reverted? I was fixing the fact that, at some point, his archiving was set up incorrectly, causing archives to be placed in different formats and all over the place. I was simply condensing them to have them be in the correct order, as well as respecting the size limit (See this conversation). Thanks. Aidan9382 ( talk) 06:48, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi Liz. I really appreciate your speedy response to my request for deletion of the redirect page "Australian little penguin” and the redirect page “Galápagos penguin”. I’m new-ish to Wikipedia, so I’m approaching you respectfully with the intent to learn.
Look at criterion G6 for technical deletions. “This is for uncontroversial maintenance, including:[…] Deleting redirects or other pages blocking page moves”.
I assumed that the speedy deletions that I requested were trivial housekeeping, and thus covered by CSD G6.
Regarding the Australian little penguin, almost all Wikipedia articles about animal species that are still alive today or are recently extinct use their English name for the title of the page. I recently had success with a similar effort to change the title of an article from a scientific name to an English name.
Regarding the Galápagos penguin, there is a good mix of articles that do or do not bother to include accents in the title. To be honest, I don’t care much about this issue relative to the Australian little penguin question. Still, I feel like the accent is a little more professional.

Hello,
A page that I edited and worked on extensively (Faegre Drinker) was deleted by you on April 24, 2022. It was flagged due to conflict of interest and vandalism violations. I wasn't aware of how to disclose COI, but I will work to resolve that and do it going forward. My main question is, how do I get the original Faegre Drinker page back? I appreciate any help you can provide.

Hi Liz -- Not my area and agree the article is a bit of a mess, but I believe the subject clearly meets WP:PROF; the citation profile is excellent, he held a named chair, editorship of a journal, an honorary doctorate, and a couple of the awards might be notable too; there are also two books that might generate reviews as an author.

Hey @ Liz: I hope you could help me on Quarry. I'm trying to list French sub talkpages 'À_faire' (like fr:Discussion:Dantès/À faire) that still exists while talkpage (like fr:Discussion:Dantès) OR main page (like fr:Dantès) doesn't exist.
From your following quarry, I wrote :
SELECT page_title
FROM page talkpage
WHERE talkpage.page_title LIKE '%/À_faire'
AND talkpage.page_namespace IN (1,5,11,15,101,119,711,829)
How should I use NOT EXISTS here to only get non-existant main page (like fr:Dantès) and talk (like fr:Discussion:Dantès) ?
From what I have understood, the following code that you use would list French sub talkpages 'À_faire' WHEN fr:Dantès/À faire doesn't exist BUT that's not what I'm looking for. So how to check fr:Dantès / fr:Talk:Dantès instead ?
NOT EXISTS (
SELECT 1
FROM page mainpage
WHERE mainpage.page_namespace=talkpage.page_namespace-1
AND mainpage.page_title=talkpage.page_title)
If that is not clear enough, as this is not my native language, let me know!

Hello Liz, you have recently deleted the page Prince of Wales–St. Sebastian's Cricket Encounter saying "Non-notable inter-school cricket match. Lacking in historical significance to establish notability". I know you deleted it because it was proposed for deletion and you have nothing to do with it. I'm not not here to argue with you, please try to understand. Actually this cricket league is happening since 1933 and it's happening between two leading schools in Sri Lanka. The deleted page was including past results and lot of information about that cricket league. As Sri Lankans we call them Big Matches (March Madness). These cricket matches are happening between lot of Sri Lankan schools and this league is one of them. It's like a part of Sri Lankan culture. So we know how notable they are in Sri Lanka. The person who proposed to delete this page is actually from United Kingdom and they might probably don't know about that. (I saw s/he's from UK when I visited their user page) And I've seen s/he has proposed some of other big match cricket pages for deletion, For example Ananda-Nalanda. And that cricket league is happening since 1924. So that user probably don't have an idea about these cricket leagues. So can you please consider about restoring the page Prince of Wales–St. Sebastian's Cricket Encounter.
Thank you in advance. Be safe. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 43.250.241.18 ( talk) 20:17, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
Hi, could you restore Davenport Family (band) to my userspace? Want to take a look at it, thanks. Herostratus ( talk) 03:32, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
Hello, I just noticed that you removed G5 tags from a page that was highly likely to have been created by a sockpuppet. However, the criterion does not say that this tag can only apply to pages which have been created by blocked socks. The sentence "To qualify, the edit or page must have been made while the user was actually banned or blocked" reads to me that the "user" is the person who operates a blocked account and a sock, not specifically the account that created the G5 eligible page. One of the reasons as to why I tagged the page for deletion is to bring attention to the open sockpuppet investigation for possibly interested admins. I am aware of "what if the account was not actually a sockpuppet", however if the connection between two accounts is so obvious, then there's a very small chance that's not the case. In addition, admins have previously deleted pages which I've tagged for G5 deletion before the sock was blocked, but I know admins think differently. EDM fan 2 ( talk) 05:19, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello, can you kindly please explain to me when to put a show in the categories I made for Kumu (social network)? I have just seen your revert of my edit on Game Ka Na Ba?

Does the show in question have a (A) direct interaction with the Kumu audience (e.g: A unpopular housemate on PBB is kicked out of Big Brother's house after a vote to kick a housemate out in Kumu), (B) the show must be broadcast from the beginning on Kumu (social network), (C) something in between or (D) none of these guidelines?

I would like to report an editor who has been involved in vandalism. This editor is taking things up to their own liking and is not being objective. The recent conversation is available on my page. They are either inexperienced with the edited topic or otherwise are involved in targeted omissions. They are claiming that the information is unsourced despite being publicly available specifically on Wikipedia. The only reason I could think of for such an act is altering things to their own liking and wishful status. AyCem Fan ( talk) 04:35, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
Hi Liz, thanks for your prompt feedback. I totally understand your point of view and I totally know what hot plate I’m in right now. I do appreciate the experience you both have, but if you could please look at the case in depth rather than at face value. This is targeted as the editor amended only Aytaç’s page but not Cemre’s. If you check the history of their edits, you’d know this is out of place. I will do my best to add all required validations and citations required so as to eliminate any doubts or controversies. If that person still omits the info, then please know they are intentionally doing so. Take care and thanks again. AyCem Fan ( talk) 05:12, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
Hello Liz,
At the time of the last newsletter (No.26, September 2021), the backlog was 'only' just over 6,000 articles. In the past six months, the backlog has reached nearly 16,000, a staggering level not seen in several years. A very small number of users had been doing the vast majority of the reviews. Due to "burn-out", we have recently lost most of this effort. Furthermore, several reviewers have been stripped of the user right for abuse of privilege and the articles they patrolled were put back in the queue.
Several discussions on the state of the process have taken place on the talk page, but there has been no action to make any changes. The project also lacks coordination since the "position" is vacant.
In the last 30 days, only 100 reviewers have made more than 8 patrols and only 50 have averaged one review a day. There are currently 811 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 857 administrators have this permission, but only about a dozen significantly contribute to NPP.
This means we have an active pool of about 450 to address the backlog. We cannot rely on a few to do most of the work as that inevitably leads to burnout. A fairly experienced reviewer can usually do a review in a few minutes. If every active reviewer would patrol just one article per day, the backlog would very quickly disappear.
If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, do suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}}
on their talk page.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.
To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself
here.

Hello, I recently found this weird draft article created just recently through my check of the recent changes page. This " article" is basically the user trying to be MatPat and trying to pull it off in Wikipedia. The theory is attempting to make the connection that Rec Room (video game), a game made for roleplaying purposes is a clone of LittleBigPlanet. This, obviously, ludicrous theory/article (let alone a draft on Wikipedia attempting to become an article) seems to be made by a new user. (oh boy, I'm already getting triggered by the number of grammatical mistakes here) I'm pretty sure this is in violation of Wikipedia:MADEUP, but I want to ask how to properly (and kindly) interact with the user on why this article is not fit for Wikipedia. I don't want to make this into a long dispute, so I want to know how to properly interact with the user in regards to their article. Thank you. -- ShiriEdits Talk 04:25, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

DeaconShotFire requests unblock. They write,
I understand that I was blocked for rude behaviour and edit warring. I fully admit to doing this. If I am unblocked, I will not begin edit wars or harass other users. I will not engage in this behaviour again. I have a genuine interest in improving Wikipedia, as evidenced by my edit history. I have made significant changes (that are still in place) to lead sections of major articles such as Ronald Reagan and Elizabeth II. I hope to continue improving the lead sections of articles. Another editor stated on my talk page following my indefinite mute that I should be given a chance to appeal it, an editor with whom I made those kinds of major edits.

Hi Liz, I saw you restored this article and said it should be considered for an article. The problem is, it already has been, and there don't seem to be any reliable sources at all in existence for it. As far as I can tell, it hasn't been reviewed in a single publication, not even specialist hip hop websites. The two sources in the article tell you almost nothing – one is a single paragraph in a WP:PRIMARY interview with the artist explaining why he put the album out, the other is one line (which is a cut-and-paste copyvio) about how it would maybe soundtrack a documentary. Nothing about the background to the album, or what the songs are about. It's difficult to see how this record could ever meet the requirements of WP:NALBUM, to be honest.

Hi Liz. I think the only reason the IP isn't blocked is because the CU can't actually confirm. Any other suggestions?

Hello, I see that you have declined my page move. Just to clarify, Frankfurt and Frankfurt am Main are the same place. Wikipedia generally uses just "Frankfurt" to refer to "Frankfurt am Main", as seen on the Frankfurt page. The Mayor of Frankfurt-am-Main article refers to the city as "Frankfurt am Main" in the lede but elsewhere in the article it is refered to as "Frankfurt". Thus I don't think that moving the page would make the title not agree with the content. But also this is my first time moving a page so maybe I'm doing it wrong.

Hi Liz. I had nominated Draft:Abdolrahman Sarraei for G11 deletion, which has already been deleted multiple number of times. Also Abdolrahman Sarraei was deleted multiple number of times, and then recreated again and again. There is also this SPI case regarding the matter. Considering all these, why did you remove my CSD tag? Could you please explain me I had gone wrong somewhere. At least, I can tell you, all the time, I had nominated this for CSD, always it got deleted. It was I who first discovered this article and put a CSD tag on it. Were those deletions wrong? What do you say? Itcouldbepossible Talk 15:22, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
First, I think you need to consider all of the pages that you tag for speedy deletion where I agree with you and not just focus on the handful where I come to a different conclusion.Sorry, but I didn't want to mean that. It is not about disagreeing and agreeing. You have deleted many pages that I had CSDed. I was quite amazed when you removed the CSD tag from that promotional article which has already been deleted multiple number of times, and the editors blocked as sockpuppets. I thought this might be a mistake from Liz's side, so I thought of bringing this up to you.
As for this particular draft, I didn't investigate the page history, I just looked at the current page content and I didn't think it was overly promotional, at least not by my standards for CSD G11.Well that must be up to you, but to me it looked like promotional, so I CSDed it. And I got this strong, when I saw other 2 administrators had agreed with me. So the third time, I, you can say, alomost blindly tagged the page for CSD. But I check my CSD log daily to see which articles are still kept even after I CSDed them. Like that I improve my knowledge on deletion situations. I see when administrator agree with me and when they don't. That day when I saw my CSD log, I found out that the page was still 'blue linked'. I saw the page history and found out that you had removed the tag.
Now, if I had looked more carefully at the page history and seen how many of the latest edits were done by Sarraei Team, then I probably would have seen what you had seen and deleted the page.Yes, but a draft promotional to that extent should be deleted (though you didn't think it was promotional). There are many instances by which we know that the draft or article is actually promotional. The user KIIFF is creating an article in a 'promotional tone about the KIIFF film festival itself. And then this Abdolrahman, who as far as I remember is associated with this film festival in some way. So overall, as per what we see, it was promotional, according to me.
Now, if I had looked more carefully at the page history and seen how many of the latest edits were done by User:Sarraei Team, then I probably would have seen what you had seen and deleted the page.Probably, but administrators like you, who are involved with so many things on this wiki, are way busy to go and inspect the page histories of the articles that turn up in the category. But, if you won't block me, then I would just suggest you something. You can install this script, to find past deletions and AFDs. This is a really helpful script for new page reviewers and also administrators who perform deletions. This Writ Keeper man, oh what a user! This script helps you to find out if the article or draft has been deleted in the past, or if there was any AFD of the article. Would you please use that script from now on to see if the article or draft has been deleted previously? And when you see the page has been deleted previously, then you can have a look at the page history also (to detect anomalies like this one). In this way you won't have to check the page history always. Now please please don't mind this suggestion from a new and unexperienced user like me. I am no one to suggest to users or rather administrators like you, who has been working for the community for so many years, and has so many peoples support. Please take this as a friendly suggestion from a newbie.
But it's interesting that the admin who did delete the page after I untagged it (see Draft:Abdolrahman Sarraei) did so for CSD G5 reasons and he removed the CSD G11 deletion rationale so it wasn't deleted for being advertising but because of sockpuppetry activity.Well, I am not sure (you can check it once more, I don't remember it, for I have been tagging tens of articles for CSD everyday, and it is hard to recall what the article or draft looked like, or how many CSD tags were there, unless there are special problems with the article, like obvious vandalism, creation by LTAs, or promotional articles that are being repeatedly created using different article naming schemes), but I myself had tagged the draft first for CSD G11, and then included a G5 too, since it would also be applicable. But the deletion administrator took the latter CSD criteria and deleted it accordingly. It has happened quite a few number of times. I nominate an article for deletion using multiple CSD criteria (obviously those which can be applied), and sometimes, the deletion admin chooses the best out of it. So maybe this is what had happened this time.
If I made a mistake here it's that I shouldn't have simply reverted your edit, I should have brought up the subject on your talk page. But, unfortunately, sometimes admins get busy, the CSD categories are full of pages that need to be reviewed and taken care of and having discussions like this can take up time that folks would rather spend on other tasks.I understand that. That is why I thought of bringing this up to you as nicely my English let me to do. Alas, I hate to say this again and again, but being an Indian, and English being my 3rd language (not applicable for every Indian), I am struggling to learn to phrase sentences correctly, so that they don't mean bad to English speaking people like you. And I even ran into a problem once. You can see my talk page archive to know how my problematic English made by good intention look bizarre.
I do think that you have been doing quite a bit of deletion tagging that I have had questions about but if a situation like this comes up again, I'll come to your talk page instead of simply reverting your edit.I would be pleased if you do that. But no need to take this as a burden. You are free to decline my CSDs. Just be careful about the past deletion histories. We want Wikipedia to be a clean place, isn't it? If you want to contact me, then you are free to, my talk page is always open to everyone.
Does this help explain things a bit better?Well it explains a lot how good and very forbearing you are. Thanks for putting up such a nice and kind explanation. Many administrator have forgot to behave in a civil manner. At times, I understand, due to the huge stress, administrators look like harsh, but actually, in the end it looks like you people are good. That is why you are an admin and not me.
Why was the CSD tag removed on Draft:My Test Draft? It was clearly a test page and the creator of the article probably did not intend to ever move it to the mainspace or even submit it. 72.10.126.196 ( talk) 16:40, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
Hello! I haven't heard from you in sometime. Next week, I plan on recreating the page on William Helfand. There will be similar content, but of course, nothing will be a direct copy. I apologize for the past copy, which was not meant to be a final draft. I removed that directly copied part shortly after I was notified about it, but the page was still deleted. William Helfand deserves a Wikipedia page and I believe I am in a good position to create one for him.

Please help me stop harassment from datalounge.com users Who have not only posted that they’re actively trying to have my article removed that has been up for almost 10 years but the user who has just today put it up for deletion has a long history of causing problems according to his talk page. My page has also been vandalized extensively since October which is all visible in the edit history. You’ll also see where it links to postings on datalounge.com about some fanatics attempt at having my page removed all culminate in one direction, vengeance or a vendetta. My page might need some sort of polish from somebody who is editing skills understand the format but everything is properly referenced and I’ve had five top 40 billboard records, I’ve starred in the TV series, I’ve been a member of the Out 100 list I’ve won the Los Angeles drama critics Circle award I’m on TMZ‘s 10 funniest drunk celebrities.

Hi,
Saw that you've been recently active via the Recently Active Users tool, and I know that you've been around AfD a lot, so I kind of want to ask for some help.
This concerns Jim Bobs Doo Doo, created a few hours ago. I first noticed them when they voted keep on my AfD nom; this isn't about that specific vote, but associated behavior. They didn't sign their comment, but apparently knew enough to cite WP:NEXIST, albeit incorrectly, which I find as a bit of a contradiction. Maybe they edited before via an IP, because new users who know enough to go to AfD on their third edit while not having pages nominated for AfD themselves are few and far between. Even fewer are those who know to cite policy. They've also commented on ANI, again citing policy here. All (excluding my AfD nom because of my COI) of their comments or votes go against recent consensus/contradict the user they are replying to.
I know to WP:AGF, but this fact pattern seems awfully strange to me. Do you mind recommending courses of action? Iseult Δx parlez moi 06:48, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for declining that speedy on Newt Scamander, I've been looking at it for 3 days and hesitating to do anything with it.
You said in your edit summary though that, "This page has sat at CSD for over 3 days with no admin taking action. They obviously don't think this draft article is ready for main space." I can only speak for myself, but it wasn't so much that I didn't think the draft was ready for mainspace, as that this redirect has history from before the article was merged, and I found the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested_moves/Closing_instructions#Moving_procedures confusing, so I was leaving it for someone with more understanding of the round-robin procedure, but apparently such a person did not come by.
Anyway, at least now I don't have to see it in the speedy queue. ~ ONUnicorn( Talk| Contribs) problem solving 18:36, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello Liz,
I've only recently started monitoring Recent changes, specifically newly created pages. In the past two or three days, I've come across at least 20 problematic articles created by the same few users.
The articles are all translations of articles from the Arabic-language Wikipedia. All concerning relatively well-known books in Arabic. The contributors do not change a single thing. No translation template either. The article is machine translated, word-for-word, and the result is a badly worded, poorly referenced article that does not conform to English-language Wikipedia's guidelines on notability, referencing, and layout/style. I recognize many of these books, and I believe a large percentage of them clear the notability bar. It could be a great iniative, but this is not how it's done.
What should be done about this?

Hi! Re Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of songs recorded by Armaan Malik, I think your deletion of the article was closed too early given that the nominination relied on one single argument for deletion. Recent nominations of similar pages of songs recorded by singers (some opened on the same day) are getting wide support to be kept ( this one, to name one), and this one would probably have gotten the same response had it not been deleted then.
Can you help us by restoring it or the nomination? Thank you, Shahid • Talk2me 13:53, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

deliberately intended to obstruct or defeat the project's purpose, which is to create a free encyclopedia, in a variety of languages, presenting the sum of all human knowledge.While their edits might not have improved the article, I don't see repeated attempts to knowingly damage the article, it looks like they have a very specific POV that might not be neutral. It's not effective to block an editor who jumps from one IP address to another quite easily and I don't see repeated efforts to damage this article. But it's impossible to talk with an IP editor who changes addresses with every edit, otherwise I'd say start a talk page discussion.
I'm pretty sure I left a reply to 2A00:7C40:C210:221:E009:BC7A:345E:62C1's there. I understand the result of the AfD was keep, but surely that wouldn't be grounds for deleting wp:civil comments, would it? — Guarapiranga ☎ 06:51, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
Liz - it appears you deleted th EdUBudgie Linux DRAFT page. I created this page, bookmarked it, and intended to come back to fill it in as soon as the webpage was updated. Then I received an email that this was deleted. It was a draft - my understanding was that draft pages can exist for some time - I thought that I had read something like 6 months before they were deleted. Is that incorrect? What is the timeframe then for drafts to exist before they are deleted? It has been one month. Can you please explain why this draft was deleted as it is something that I had intended to add to and do not understand why this has happened? "Deletion of old drafts Drafts that have not been edited in six months may be deleted under criterion for speedy deletion G13. Most G13 nominations for deletion are done by bots or users using Twinkle or AFCH, processes that inform the draft creator on their talk page. Pages deleted under G13 may be restored upon request at WP:REFUND (see Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion/G13)."

Hi Liz! I hope you are doing well. I noticed you have left notes to AfC reviewers asking them to cleanup drafts to make them "mainspace ready" before requesting a redirect be deleted. However, that is not how AfC works. The cleanup does not occur until the draft is accepted and moved to mainspace. This is done essentially all in one click: cleanup (removes previous declines, AfC comments, the pending submission template, etc.), moves it, adds WikiProjects, categories, etc.). We cannot accept a draft/move it, until the redirect is deleted. Does that make sense? S0091 ( talk) 21:13, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi Liz,
Regarding your closures of those discussions as "redirect", can I ask why you closed them as "redirect" rather than "delete"? I am not seeing a consensus there for redirection - for example, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kurt Reichenbach I say a redirect is not supported due to WP:R#DELETE #1 (three other Kurt Reichenbach's are mentioned on Wikipedia, any one of which it would be reasonable for a reader to be searching for, and the first two are probably more likely to be searched for than the Olympian - the commander of various U-Boats, the Swiss Mixed curling champion, or the singer). This argument was not addressed by the sole editor who supported redirection, while it was convincing to the other responding editor. BilledMammal ( talk) 02:24, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello Liz,
At the time of the last newsletter (No.27, May 2022), the backlog was approaching 16,000, having shot up rapidly from 6,000 over the prior two months. The attention the newsletter brought to the backlog sparked a flurry of activity. There was new discussion on process improvements, efforts to invite new editors to participate in NPP increased and more editors requested the NPP user right so they could help, and most importantly, the number of reviews picked up and the backlog decreased, dipping below 14,000 [a] at the end of May.
Since then, the news has not been so good. The backlog is basically flat, hovering around 14,200. I wish I could report the number of reviews done and the number of new articles added to the queue. But the available statistics we have are woefully inadequate. The only real number we have is the net queue size. [b]
In the last 30 days, the top 100 reviewers have all made more than 16 patrols (up from 8 last month), and about 70 have averaged one review a day (up from 50 last month).
While there are more people doing more reviews, many of the ~730 with the NPP right are doing little. Most of the reviews are being done by the top 50 or 100 reviewers. They need your help. We appreciate every review done, but please aim to do one a day (on average, or 30 a month).
A backlog reduction drive, coordinated by
buidhe and
Zippybonzo, will be held from July 1 to July 31. Sign up

Barnstars will be awarded.
Many new articles on schools are being created by new users in developing and/or non-English-speaking countries. The authors are probably not even aware of Wikipedia's projects and policy pages. WP:WPSCH/AG has some excellent advice and resources specifically written for these users. Reviewers could consider providing such first-time article creators with a link to it while also mentioning that not all schools pass the GNG and that elementary schools are almost certainly not notable.
There is a new template available, {{
NPP backlog}}
, to show the current backlog. You can place it on your user or talk page as a reminder:
Very high unreviewed pages backlog: 12314 articles, as of 18:00, 29 June 2024 (UTC), according to DatBot
There has been significant discussion at WP:VPP recently on NPP-related matters (Draftification, Deletion, Notability, Verifiability, Burden). Proposals that would somewhat ease the burden on NPP aren't gaining much traction, although there are suggestions that the role of NPP be fundamentally changed to focus only on major CSD-type issues.

Respected Madam, I created an article on Soumendu Lahiri(Bengali Poet & Guitarist) which has been nominated for deletion, but I was not notified by the editor who tagged the page. Madam I have read wiki guidelines on notability and after that I created this article on this poet who got honor from The Hon'ble Governor of West Bengal, India. Soumendu Lahiri has some independent books which have ISBN. He has also been the subject of some news articles & his literary works have been published on renowned newspapers. But this page has been nominated for deletion and please permit me to mention that the person who tagged the page for deletion is not giving any satisfactory answer. You please see the afd debate as I'm not getting satisfactory answer from the person who tagged for deletion. Point to be noted that he is an Administrator of Bengali Wikipedia where from the page of Soumendu Lahiri has been deleted very recently. But the page had enough references to be remained.

Hi Liz. I see you deleted the article on Qasr Bardawil, and I guess also the ones on Denys Pringle and Paul Deschamps, because the one who created them is blocked. Technically more than correct, but I do miss the material on the two researchers. I would happily recreate those two articles, based on the pre-existing but deleted work, but I don't know how to access it. Can you please help out? The blocked editor was in no way someone I could agree with on many topics, the Qasr Bardawil article had no merit (a mere spin-off of the al-'Al Castle material), but I was indeed very happy for having the other two, stubs as they were. Thank you! Arminden ( talk) 05:07, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
Hello @ Liz. I've seen you around at AFD, so your familiar name and recently active status means I have reached out to you for an admin perspective. I do a little 'lite' new page patrolling, tagging really low hanging fruit with CSD11 tags. Today I tagged Draft: Govind Dholakia, which by the way, has already been deleted thrice. The author, @ Brakshit23 has left a polite but misguided note on my talk page about it's tagging. Normally I'd just respond, but last time someone tagged the article (an admin named JBW), immediately complained to JBW here, then before JBW could resolve it escalated to ANI. So, hoping you would please have a word with this user and see if we cannot end this salting>complain>delete cycle. Thanks, Max. MaxnaCarta ( talk) 06:36, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

The page I created was deleted though I explained the purpose as: "This page should not be speedily deleted because it is meant for a redirect to Lalnghinglova Hmar, who in the media is popularly known by the name Tetea Hmar." I don't know what exactly went wrong with mu editing, but it had todo with the tool. In fact, the person is more popular as Tetea in his native community, and a redirect may be useful.

The acceptance notice is part of the AfC script and as far as I know not an option. The editors are not "purposefully" posting it their talk page like you do with most other notices.

Hi Liz. The situation in the Anthonie Palamedesz. article is a little more complex than first appears, and you are not the only one who assumed (quite understandably) that the full stop at the end was a typo. However, as reliable sources indicate, his name does end with a full stop. Because we now have an open RfD which people, including myself, have commented on, it is not easy to sort this out. However, as the page mover, and the one who opened the RfD, you can resolve this quite quickly by reverting your page move, and withdrawing the RfD: Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2022_June_23#Anthonie_Palamedesz.. (Be aware, the most recent comment shows some frustration with your action, and your delay in responding to my earlier pings. I think the comment is out of order, though I understand the frustration that engendered the comment.) If you prefer, you could just indicate here that you agree that the RfD should be withdrawn, and I'll do the paper work. Regards. SilkTork ( talk) 13:48, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
Hello Liz. I hope you are having a good day. While I was patrolling Special:NewPages, I came across Draft:Notabot. The edit summary for when it was created contained racist material.

Hello, I just saw that you deleted an article I created for Malacates, Mexico City. While there is an article for Colonia Malacates Ampliación, this is actually a different neighborhood than Malacates. I am guessing the reason it was deleted is that it seemed a duplicate. Is there another reason?

Hi Liz, I hope you are doing well. I have a somewhat odd question. I have been clearing out unreferenced articles and have noticed a number of 1-3 line pages of human settlements, a good number of which don't appear on Google Maps, even if the coordinates are listed, all created by user MIDI who seems have created literally hundreds of articles on Kenyan settlements, among other locations, using AWB. Some of these are substantial/notable and cited according but many have no indication of importance (importance for human settlements by virtue of being a human settlement) and some I cannot find proof that they even exist. I don't want to spam the good people of AFD but I think this is a serious issue to address, given the sheer volume and the amount of potentially inaccurate and erroneous information these articles may contain. As an admin, do you have any suggestions for a way of addressing these issues as a batch, or do I just keep chipping away one PROD tag at a time? Thanks for any help you can offer!

Hi there.
A few months ago you deleted Louis Partridge's page. I would like to Draftify the article. Since the reason was WP:NACTOR, the fact that the subject of the page has several upcoming roles (including one in a show premiering in less than a month and another one announced just today) makes me think that he would qualify the criteria in the near future. It seems a shame to have to rebuild the article from scratch, but I am unsure what to do to Draftify the page. Is my posting here enough or should I do something else?

Hi Liz, thank you for taking the time to close the above discussion. I note that you have also salted the page Grandpa Gohan as suggested. Is it also possible for you to salt Grandpa Son Gohan as well to prevent any potential editors from recreating the same? The reason why I suggested salting the other page was because the other page has a history of being frequently recreated without consideration for Wikipedia's notability guidelines, and Grandpa Gohan was simply the latest variant of the persistent disruption from Grandpa Son Gohan. At least one other editor who participated in the discussion agreed with my observation of the history of disruption. Haleth ( talk) 08:08, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi Liz. I really appreciate your speedy response to my request for deletion of the redirect page "Australian little penguin” and the redirect page “Galápagos penguin”. I’m new-ish to Wikipedia, so I’m approaching you respectfully with the intent to learn.
Look at criterion G6 for technical deletions. “This is for uncontroversial maintenance, including:[…] Deleting redirects or other pages blocking page moves”.
I assumed that the speedy deletions that I requested were trivial housekeeping, and thus covered by CSD G6.
Regarding the Australian little penguin, almost all Wikipedia articles about animal species that are still alive today or are recently extinct use their English name for the title of the page. I recently had success with a similar effort to change the title of an article from a scientific name to an English name.
Regarding the Galápagos penguin, there is a good mix of articles that do or do not bother to include accents in the title. To be honest, I don’t care much about this issue relative to the Australian little penguin question. Still, I feel like the accent is a little more professional.

Hey @ Liz: I hope you could help me on Quarry. I'm trying to list French sub talkpages 'À_faire' (like fr:Discussion:Dantès/À faire) that still exists while talkpage (like fr:Discussion:Dantès) OR main page (like fr:Dantès) doesn't exist.
From your following quarry, I wrote :
SELECT page_title
FROM page talkpage
WHERE talkpage.page_title LIKE '%/À_faire'
AND talkpage.page_namespace IN (1,5,11,15,101,119,711,829)
How should I use NOT EXISTS here to only get non-existant main page (like fr:Dantès) and talk (like fr:Discussion:Dantès) ?
From what I have understood, the following code that you use would list French sub talkpages 'À_faire' WHEN fr:Dantès/À faire doesn't exist BUT that's not what I'm looking for. So how to check fr:Dantès / fr:Talk:Dantès instead ?
NOT EXISTS (
SELECT 1
FROM page mainpage
WHERE mainpage.page_namespace=talkpage.page_namespace-1
AND mainpage.page_title=talkpage.page_title)
If that is not clear enough, as this is not my native language, let me know!

Hello Liz, you have recently deleted the page Prince of Wales–St. Sebastian's Cricket Encounter saying "Non-notable inter-school cricket match. Lacking in historical significance to establish notability". I know you deleted it because it was proposed for deletion and you have nothing to do with it. I'm not not here to argue with you, please try to understand. Actually this cricket league is happening since 1933 and it's happening between two leading schools in Sri Lanka. The deleted page was including past results and lot of information about that cricket league. As Sri Lankans we call them Big Matches (March Madness). These cricket matches are happening between lot of Sri Lankan schools and this league is one of them. It's like a part of Sri Lankan culture. So we know how notable they are in Sri Lanka. The person who proposed to delete this page is actually from United Kingdom and they might probably don't know about that. (I saw s/he's from UK when I visited their user page) And I've seen s/he has proposed some of other big match cricket pages for deletion, For example Ananda-Nalanda. And that cricket league is happening since 1924. So that user probably don't have an idea about these cricket leagues. So can you please consider about restoring the page Prince of Wales–St. Sebastian's Cricket Encounter.

Hello, I just noticed that you removed G5 tags from a page that was highly likely to have been created by a sockpuppet. However, the criterion does not say that this tag can only apply to pages which have been created by blocked socks. The sentence "To qualify, the edit or page must have been made while the user was actually banned or blocked" reads to me that the "user" is the person who operates a blocked account and a sock, not specifically the account that created the G5 eligible page. One of the reasons as to why I tagged the page for deletion is to bring attention to the open sockpuppet investigation for possibly interested admins. I am aware of "what if the account was not actually a sockpuppet", however if the connection between two accounts is so obvious, then there's a very small chance that's not the case. In addition, admins have previously deleted pages which I've tagged for G5 deletion before the sock was blocked, but I know admins think differently. EDM fan 2 ( talk) 05:19, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

I would like to report an editor who has been involved in vandalism. This editor is taking things up to their own liking and is not being objective. The recent conversation is available on my page.

They are claiming that the information is unsourced despite being publicly available specifically on Wikipedia. The only reason I could think of for such an act is altering things to their own liking and wishful status. AyCem Fan ( talk) 04:35, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

If you check the history of their edits, you’d know this is out of place. I will do my best to add all required validations and citations required so as to eliminate any doubts or controversies. If that person still omits the info, then please know they are intentionally doing so. Take care and thanks again. AyCem Fan ( talk) 05:12, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
Hello Liz,
At the time of the last newsletter (No.26, September 2021), the backlog was 'only' just over 6,000 articles. In the past six months, the backlog has reached nearly 16,000, a staggering level not seen in several years. A very small number of users had been doing the vast majority of the reviews. Due to "burn-out", we have recently lost most of this effort. Furthermore, several reviewers have been stripped of the user right for abuse of privilege and the articles they patrolled were put back in the queue.
Several discussions on the state of the process have taken place on the talk page, but there has been no action to make any changes. The project also lacks coordination since the "position" is vacant.
In the last 30 days, only 100 reviewers have made more than 8 patrols and only 50 have averaged one review a day. There are currently 811 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 857 administrators have this permission, but only about a dozen significantly contribute to NPP.
This means we have an active pool of about 450 to address the backlog. We cannot rely on a few to do most of the work as that inevitably leads to burnout. A fairly experienced reviewer can usually do a review in a few minutes. If every active reviewer would patrol just one article per day, the backlog would very quickly disappear.
If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, do suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}}
on their talk page.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.
To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself
here.

Hello, I recently found this weird draft article created just recently through my check of the recent changes page. This " article" is basically the user trying to be MatPat and trying to pull it off in Wikipedia. The theory is attempting to make the connection that Rec Room (video game), a game made for roleplaying purposes is a clone of LittleBigPlanet. This, obviously, ludicrous theory/article (let alone a draft on Wikipedia attempting to become an article) seems to be made by a new user. (oh boy, I'm already getting triggered by the number of grammatical mistakes here) I'm pretty sure this is in violation of Wikipedia:MADEUP, but I want to ask how to properly (and kindly) interact with the user on why this article is not fit for Wikipedia.

Hi Liz, I saw you restored this article and said it should be considered for an article. The problem is, it already has been, and there don't seem to be any reliable sources at all in existence for it. As far as I can tell, it hasn't been reviewed in a single publication, not even specialist hip hop websites. The two sources in the article tell you almost nothing – one is a single paragraph in a WP:PRIMARY interview with the artist explaining why he put the album out, the other is one line (which is a cut-and-paste copyvio) about how it would maybe soundtrack a documentary. Nothing about the background to the album, or what the songs are about. It's difficult to see how this record could ever meet the requirements of WP:NALBUM, to be honest.

Hello Liz,
I am very sorry for mindlessly tagging drafts for speedy deletion and MFD. I'll try not do it again and actually look in the page history to see if it will be eligible for G13. I have learned my lesson and please forgive me. I will also not submit anymore speedy deletions or MFDs on drafts unless it is really problematic. THE Pizzaplayer!

Draft:Boeing F-15EX Eagle II. It's being discussed at Talk:McDonnell_Douglas F-15E Strike Eagle#F-15EX split, and having it visible would be useful to the discussion. Thanks. BilCat ( talk) 21:18, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi Liz. I think the only reason the IP isn't blocked is because the CU can't actually confirm. Any other suggestions? It's clearly someone from Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Salem_Imam/Archive#02_June_2022 logged out given the verbatim creation. Thoughts on SALTing? I asked the same at the SPI, but no issue if it's also used as sock catcher. Star Mississippi 02:41, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
Hello, I see that you have declined my page move. Just to clarify, Frankfurt and Frankfurt am Main are the same place. Wikipedia generally uses just "Frankfurt" to refer to "Frankfurt am Main", as seen on the Frankfurt page. The Mayor of Frankfurt-am-Main article refers to the city as "Frankfurt am Main" in the lede but elsewhere in the article it is refered to as "Frankfurt". Thus I don't think that moving the page would make the title not agree with the content. But also this is my first time moving a page so maybe I'm doing it wrong. Medarduss ( talk) 07:43, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi Liz. I had nominated Draft:Abdolrahman Sarraei for G11 deletion, which has already been deleted multiple number of times. Also Abdolrahman Sarraei was deleted multiple number of times, and then recreated again and again. There is also this SPI case regarding the matter. Considering all these, why did you remove my CSD tag? Could you please explain me I had gone wrong somewhere. At least, I can tell you, all the time, I had nominated this for CSD, always it got deleted. It was I who first discovered this article and put a CSD tag on it. Were those deletions wrong? What do you say? Itcouldbepossible Talk 15:22, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
First, I think you need to consider all of the pages that you tag for speedy deletion where I agree with you and not just focus on the handful where I come to a different conclusion.Sorry, but I didn't want to mean that. It is not about disagreeing and agreeing. You have deleted many pages that I had CSDed. I was quite amazed when you removed the CSD tag from that promotional article which has already been deleted multiple number of times, and the editors blocked as sockpuppets. I thought this might be a mistake from Liz's side, so I thought of bringing this up to you.
As for this particular draft, I didn't investigate the page history, I just looked at the current page content and I didn't think it was overly promotional, at least not by my standards for CSD G11.Well that must be up to you, but to me it looked like promotional, so I CSDed it. And I got this strong, when I saw other 2 administrators had agreed with me. So the third time, I, you can say, alomost blindly tagged the page for CSD. But I check my CSD log daily to see which articles are still kept even after I CSDed them. Like that I improve my knowledge on deletion situations. I see when administrator agree with me and when they don't. That day when I saw my CSD log, I found out that the page was still 'blue linked'. I saw the page history and found out that you had removed the tag.
Now, if I had looked more carefully at the page history and seen how many of the latest edits were done by Sarraei Team, then I probably would have seen what you had seen and deleted the page.Yes, but a draft promotional to that extent should be deleted (though you didn't think it was promotional). There are many instances by which we know that the draft or article is actually promotional. The user KIIFF is creating an article in a 'promotional tone about the KIIFF film festival itself. And then this Abdolrahman, who as far as I remember is associated with this film festival in some way. So overall, as per what we see, it was promotional, according to me.
Now, if I had looked more carefully at the page history and seen how many of the latest edits were done by User:Sarraei Team, then I probably would have seen what you had seen and deleted the page.Probably, but administrators like you, who are involved with so many things on this wiki, are way busy to go and inspect the page histories of the articles that turn up in the category. But, if you won't block me, then I would just suggest you something. You can install this script, to find past deletions and AFDs. This is a really helpful script for new page reviewers and also administrators who perform deletions. This Writ Keeper man, oh what a user! This script helps you to find out if the article or draft has been deleted in the past, or if there was any AFD of the article. Would you please use that script from now on to see if the article or draft has been deleted previously? And when you see the page has been deleted previously, then you can have a look at the page history also (to detect anomalies like this one). In this way you won't have to check the page history always. Now please please don't mind this suggestion from a new and unexperienced user like me. I am no one to suggest to users or rather administrators like you, who has been working for the community for so many years, and has so many peoples support. Please take this as a friendly suggestion from a newbie.
But it's interesting that the admin who did delete the page after I untagged it (see Draft:Abdolrahman Sarraei) did so for CSD G5 reasons and he removed the CSD G11 deletion rationale so it wasn't deleted for being advertising but because of sockpuppetry activity.Well, I am not sure (you can check it once more, I don't remember it, for I have been tagging tens of articles for CSD everyday, and it is hard to recall what the article or draft looked like, or how many CSD tags were there, unless there are special problems with the article, like obvious vandalism, creation by LTAs, or promotional articles that are being repeatedly created using different article naming schemes), but I myself had tagged the draft first for CSD G11, and then included a G5 too, since it would also be applicable. But the deletion administrator took the latter CSD criteria and deleted it accordingly. It has happened quite a few number of times. I nominate an article for deletion using multiple CSD criteria (obviously those which can be applied), and sometimes, the deletion admin chooses the best out of it. So maybe this is what had happened this time.
If I made a mistake here it's that I shouldn't have simply reverted your edit, I should have brought up the subject on your talk page. But, unfortunately, sometimes admins get busy, the CSD categories are full of pages that need to be reviewed and taken care of and having discussions like this can take up time that folks would rather spend on other tasks.I understand that. That is why I thought of bringing this up to you as nicely my English let me to do. Alas, I hate to say this again and again, but being an Indian, and English being my 3rd language (not applicable for every Indian), I am struggling to learn to phrase sentences correctly, so that they don't mean bad to English speaking people like you. And I even ran into a problem once. You can see my talk page archive to know how my problematic English made by good intention look bizarre.
I do think that you have been doing quite a bit of deletion tagging that I have had questions about but if a situation like this comes up again, I'll come to your talk page instead of simply reverting your edit.I would be pleased if you do that. But no need to take this as a burden. You are free to decline my CSDs. Just be careful about the past deletion histories. We want Wikipedia to be a clean place, isn't it? If you want to contact me, then you are free to, my talk page is always open to everyone.
Does this help explain things a bit better?Well it explains a lot how good and very forbearing you are. Thanks for putting up such a nice and kind explanation. Many administrator have forgot to behave in a civil manner. At times, I understand, due to the huge stress, administrators look like harsh, but actually, in the end it looks like you people are good. That is why you are an admin and not me.
Why was the CSD tag removed on Draft:My Test Draft? It was clearly a test page and the creator of the article probably did not intend to ever move it to the mainspace or even submit it. 72.10.126.196 ( talk) 16:40, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
Hello! I haven't heard from you in sometime. Next week, I plan on recreating the page on William Helfand. There will be similar content, but of course, nothing will be a direct copy. I apologize for the past copy, which was not meant to be a final draft. I removed that directly copied part shortly after I was notified about it, but the page was still deleted. William Helfand deserves a Wikipedia page and I believe I am in a good position to create one for him.

You’ll also see where it links to postings on datalounge.com about some fanatics attempt at having my page removed all culminate in one direction, vengeance or a vendetta.

Hi,
Saw that you've been recently active via the Recently Active Users tool, and I know that you've been around AfD a lot, so I kind of want to ask for some help.
This concerns Jim Bobs Doo Doo, created a few hours ago. I first noticed them when they voted keep on my AfD nom; this isn't about that specific vote, but associated behavior. They didn't sign their comment, but apparently knew enough to cite WP:NEXIST, albeit incorrectly, which I find as a bit of a contradiction. Maybe they edited before via an IP, because new users who know enough to go to AfD on their third edit while not having pages nominated for AfD themselves are few and far between. Even fewer are those who know to cite policy. They've also commented on ANI, again citing policy here. All (excluding my AfD nom because of my COI) of their comments or votes go against recent consensus/contradict the user they are replying to.
I know to WP:AGF, but this fact pattern seems awfully strange to me. Do you mind recommending courses of action? Iseult Δx parlez moi 06:48, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for declining that speedy on Newt Scamander, I've been looking at it for 3 days and hesitating to do anything with it.
You said in your edit summary though that, "This page has sat at CSD for over 3 days with no admin taking action. They obviously don't think this draft article is ready for main space." I can only speak for myself, but it wasn't so much that I didn't think the draft was ready for mainspace, as that this redirect has history from before the article was merged, and I found the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested_moves/Closing_instructions#Moving_procedures confusing, so I was leaving it for someone with more understanding of the round-robin procedure, but apparently such a person did not come by.
Anyway, at least now I don't have to see it in the speedy queue. ~ ONUnicorn( Talk| Contribs) problem solving 18:36, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello Liz,
I've only recently started monitoring Recent changes, specifically newly created pages. In the past two or three days, I've come across at least 20 problematic articles created by the same few users.
The articles are all translations of articles from the Arabic-language Wikipedia. All concerning relatively well-known books in Arabic. The contributors do not change a single thing. No translation template either. The article is machine translated, word-for-word, and the result is a badly worded, poorly referenced article that does not conform to English-language Wikipedia's guidelines on notability, referencing, and layout/style. I recognize many of these books, and I believe a large percentage of them clear the notability bar. It could be a great iniative, but this is not how it's done.
What should be done about this?

Hi! Re Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of songs recorded by Armaan Malik, I think your deletion of the article was closed too early given that the nominination relied on one single argument for deletion.

deliberately intended to obstruct or defeat the project's purpose, which is to create a free encyclopedia, in a variety of languages, presenting the sum of all human knowledge.While their edits might not have improved the article, I don't see repeated attempts to knowingly damage the article, it looks like they have a very specific POV that might not be neutral. It's not effective to block an editor who jumps from one IP address to another quite easily and I don't see repeated efforts to damage this article. But it's impossible to talk with an IP editor who changes addresses with every edit, otherwise I'd say start a talk page discussion.
I'm pretty sure I left a reply to 2A00:7C40:C210:221:E009:BC7A:345E:62C1's there. I understand the result of the AfD was keep, but surely that wouldn't be grounds for deleting wp:civil comments, would it? — Guarapiranga ☎ 06:51, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
Liz - it appears you deleted th EdUBudgie Linux DRAFT page. I created this page, bookmarked it, and intended to come back to fill it in as soon as the webpage was updated. Then I received an email that this was deleted. It was a draft - my understanding was that draft pages can exist for some time - I thought that I had read something like 6 months before they were deleted. Is that incorrect? What is the timeframe then for drafts to exist before they are deleted? It has been one month. Can you please explain why this draft was deleted as it is something that I had intended to add to and do not understand why this has happened? "Deletion of old drafts Drafts that have not been edited in six months may be deleted under criterion for speedy deletion G13. Most G13 nominations for deletion are done by bots or users using Twinkle or AFCH, processes that inform the draft creator on their talk page. Pages deleted under G13 may be restored upon request at WP:REFUND (see Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion/G13)."

Hi Liz! I hope you are doing well. I noticed you have left notes to AfC reviewers asking them to cleanup drafts to make them "mainspace ready" before requesting a redirect be deleted. However, that is not how AfC works. The cleanup does not occur until the draft is accepted and moved to mainspace. This is done essentially all in one click: cleanup (removes previous declines, AfC comments, the pending submission template, etc.), moves it, adds WikiProjects, categories, etc.). We cannot accept a draft/move it, until the redirect is deleted. Does that make sense? S0091 ( talk) 21:13, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi Liz,
Regarding your closures of those discussions as "redirect", can I ask why you closed them as "redirect" rather than "delete"? I am not seeing a consensus there for redirection - for example, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kurt Reichenbach I say a redirect is not supported due to WP:R#DELETE #1 (three other Kurt Reichenbach's are mentioned on Wikipedia, any one of which it would be reasonable for a reader to be searching for, and the first two are probably more likely to be searched for than the Olympian - the commander of various U-Boats, the Swiss Mixed curling champion, or the singer). This argument was not addressed by the sole editor who supported redirection, while it was convincing to the other responding editor. BilledMammal ( talk) 02:24, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello Liz,
At the time of the last newsletter (No.27, May 2022), the backlog was approaching 16,000, having shot up rapidly from 6,000 over the prior two months. The attention the newsletter brought to the backlog sparked a flurry of activity. There was new discussion on process improvements, efforts to invite new editors to participate in NPP increased and more editors requested the NPP user right so they could help, and most importantly, the number of reviews picked up and the backlog decreased, dipping below 14,000 [a] at the end of May.
Since then, the news has not been so good. The backlog is basically flat, hovering around 14,200. I wish I could report the number of reviews done and the number of new articles added to the queue. But the available statistics we have are woefully inadequate. The only real number we have is the net queue size. [b]
In the last 30 days, the top 100 reviewers have all made more than 16 patrols (up from 8 last month), and about 70 have averaged one review a day (up from 50 last month).
While there are more people doing more reviews, many of the ~730 with the NPP right are doing little. Most of the reviews are being done by the top 50 or 100 reviewers. They need your help. We appreciate every review done, but please aim to do one a day (on average, or 30 a month).
A backlog reduction drive, coordinated by
buidhe and
Zippybonzo, will be held from July 1 to July 31. Sign up
here.
Barnstars will be awarded.
Many new articles on schools are being created by new users in developing and/or non-English-speaking countries. The authors are probably not even aware of Wikipedia's projects and policy pages. WP:WPSCH/AG has some excellent advice and resources specifically written for these users. Reviewers could consider providing such first-time article creators with a link to it while also mentioning that not all schools pass the GNG and that elementary schools are almost certainly not notable.
There is a new template available, {{

Proposals that would somewhat ease the burden on NPP aren't gaining much traction, although there are suggestions that the role of NPP be fundamentally changed to focus only on major CSD-type issues.

Respected Madam, I created an article on Soumendu Lahiri(Bengali Poet & Guitarist) which has been nominated for deletion, but I was not notified by the editor who tagged the page. Madam I have read wiki guidelines on notability and after that I created this article on this poet who got honor from The Hon'ble Governor of West Bengal, India. Soumendu Lahiri has some independent books which have ISBN. He has also been the subject of some news articles & his literary works have been published on renowned newspapers. But this page has been nominated for deletion and please permit me to mention that the person who tagged the page for deletion is not giving any satisfactory answer. You please see the afd debate as I'm not getting satisfactory answer from the person who tagged for deletion. Point to be noted that he is an Administrator of Bengali Wikipedia where from the page of Soumendu Lahiri has been deleted very recently. But the page had enough references to be remained. Respected Madam, I beg to you to please check the article Soumendu Lahiri on English Wikipedia and solve the matter. With Best Regards --- Tbengalieditor > Talk 12:58, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
Ma'am may I delete or reduce the honor section? Regards --- Tbengalieditor > Talk 03:06, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
Ok Ma'am I will reduce extra details from recognition section and will only keep the most important parts. Regards - Tbengalieditor > Talk 19:00, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
Thought you might be interested: I tagged Draft:Las Cruces Academy with CSD G4 template. Don't know why I didn't think of it before... Cheers! ─ Grand'mere Eugene ( talk) 18:12, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
Hey, not sure how I missed this AfD. I haven't had time to do a full search yet, but just a quick search of newspapers.com revealed potential sources like this, this, this, this, this, and this that really should have been brought forward at the AfD. Thanks!! Ejgreen77 ( talk) 04:25, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi Liz. I see you deleted the article on Qasr Bardawil, and I guess also the ones on Denys Pringle and Paul Deschamps, because the one who created them is blocked. Technically more than correct, but I do miss the material on the two researchers. I would happily recreate those two articles, based on the pre-existing but deleted work, but I don't know how to access it. Can you please help out? The blocked editor was in no way someone I could agree with on many topics, the Qasr Bardawil article had no merit (a mere spin-off of the al-'Al Castle material), but I was indeed very happy for having the other two, stubs as they were. Thank you! Arminden ( talk) 05:07, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
Hello @ Liz. I've seen you around at AFD, so your familiar name and recently active status means I have reached out to you for an admin perspective. I do a little 'lite' new page patrolling, tagging really low hanging fruit with CSD11 tags. Today I tagged Draft: Govind Dholakia, which by the way, has already been deleted thrice. The author, @ Brakshit23 has left a polite but misguided note on my talk page about it's tagging. Normally I'd just respond, but last time someone tagged the article (an admin named JBW), immediately complained to JBW here, then before JBW could resolve it escalated to ANI. So, hoping you would please have a word with this user and see if we cannot end this salting>complain>delete cycle. Thanks, Max. MaxnaCarta ( talk) 06:36, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
I had pinged you at WP:Requests for undeletion#Yamata Amasung Keibu Keioiba. Jay (talk) 07:15, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi Liz, thanks for the closure there, but I actually nominated two articles for deletion in that AFD ... did I not make that clear enough? I've gone and deleted the second one, SD Negeri 1 Pegandekan, myself ... I don't think that's a problem even if I nominated it because (a) you closed the AFD and (b) it's the worst of the two articles in that deletion discussion ... it's just about an elementary school. If you want to undelete/redelete it or something, be my guest. Graham 87 15:11, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
The page I created was deleted though I explained the purpose as: "This page should not be speedily deleted because it is meant for a redirect to Lalnghinglova Hmar, who in the media is popularly known by the name Tetea Hmar." I don't know what exactly went wrong with mu editing, but it had todo with the tool. In fact, the person is more popular as Tetea in his native community, and a redirect may be useful.

This article was written by me. However, it does not appear here. I'd appreciate, if you could spare some time to look into this matter. Regards. Dr.Pinsky ( talk) 17:37, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
You might not check back at the AfC talk and I know your ping notifications are out of control so posting my comment here as well:
The acceptance notice is part of the AfC script and as far as I know not an option. The editors are not "purposefully" posting it their talk page like you do with most other notices. The more you and I discuss AfC the more I am recognizing how different it is from other processes. S0091 ( talk) 23:42, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi! I would like to request for the undeletion of Pauline Preterism page and change its title to Pauline Eschatology since it's not a neologism. Also, it won't appear as an original work and it can be properly sourced. Please restore the page so that I can make edits to it. Thank you. Transformium ( talk) 07:37, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi Liz. The situation in the Anthonie Palamedesz. article is a little more complex than first appears, and you are not the only one who assumed (quite understandably) that the full stop at the end was a typo. However, as reliable sources indicate, his name does end with a full stop. Because we now have an open RfD which people, including myself, have commented on, it is not easy to sort this out. However, as the page mover, and the one who opened the RfD, you can resolve this quite quickly by reverting your page move, and withdrawing the RfD: Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2022_June_23#Anthonie_Palamedesz.. (Be aware, the most recent comment shows some frustration with your action, and your delay in responding to my earlier pings. I think the comment is out of order, though I understand the frustration that engendered the comment.) If you prefer, you could just indicate here that you agree that the RfD should be withdrawn, and I'll do the paper work. Regards. SilkTork ( talk) 13:48, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
Hello Liz. I hope you are having a good day. While I was patrolling Special:NewPages, I came across Draft:Notabot. The edit summary for when it was created contained racist material. I thought it would be an attack page, but it was a declined blank submission to AfC. I was wondering if there was anything you, as an administrator, can do about it, such as edit summary removal. Thanks. -- LPS and MLP Fan ( Littlest Pet Shop and My Little Pony Fan) 16:53, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
Hello, I just saw that you deleted an article I created for Malacates, Mexico City. While there is an article for Colonia Malacates Ampliación, this is actually a different neighborhood than Malacates. I am guessing the reason it was deleted is that it seemed a duplicate. Is there another reason?
Thanks! Matthew MatthewMMcM ( talk) 18:24, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi Liz, I hope you are doing well. I have a somewhat odd question. I have been clearing out unreferenced articles and have noticed a number of 1-3 line pages of human settlements, a good number of which don't appear on Google Maps, even if the coordinates are listed, all created by user MIDI who seems have created literally hundreds of articles on Kenyan settlements, among other locations, using AWB. Some of these are substantial/notable and cited according but many have no indication of importance (importance for human settlements by virtue of being a human settlement) and some I cannot find proof that they even exist. I don't want to spam the good people of AFD but I think this is a serious issue to address, given the sheer volume and the amount of potentially inaccurate and erroneous information these articles may contain. As an admin, do you have any suggestions for a way of addressing these issues as a batch, or do I just keep chipping away one PROD tag at a time? Thanks for any help you can offer!
