An editor has asked for a deletion review of Gajesh Naik. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review.
Hello Liz, you deleted the Shane Watt page I had created a few years ago. I've since seen that Wikipedia allows for the flagging of personal interests related to a subject matter. I ran an independent record label from 97-2007 and Shane Watt's album was our last release. I am no longer in this industry (I'm a researcher) but like to document the independent music of the scene that I was a part of. I have fond memories of Shane and believe that his output as a producer, musician, and visual artist meets Wikipedia criterias for notories. I'd like to request that the article be reinstated (or that I be allowed to recreate it) and if necessary, I'd like to be allowed to flag the relationship, before it's evaluated on its own merit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexmegelas ( talk • contribs) 00:28, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello Liz!
I had no idea that an article I wrote (and helped get approved by a Wikipedia admin/veteran editor) had been deleted about a month ago, until today. I wish I could've fought to keep it or add sources... whatever was needed to meet the standards, I would've done or gotten assistance. I'm asking you dearly to reconsider the deletion, re-write parts of the article or guide me in a direction towards getting it back up in a timely manner as it really means a lot to me and the person/business is about to have it. There are MANY articles who have just as few sources and info that DON'T get deemed "promotable" or "not credible" which are still up. The article was called LiveLine with Mason.
I will pay you for your time, work around your schedule or do whatever it takes to get a response and reinstate this article... please help!!! THANK YOU!!! Voicetracksarelame ( talk) 06:07, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Good afternoon Liz
Would you please review the decision to delete this article (08:38, 27 October 2022). ProShare is a highly respected UK membership organisation, which lobbies the UK Government to foster Employee Share Ownership. Had I seen the proposal to delete this page in time I would have commented accordingly - it was only when I sought to refer to it today that I noticed the deletion.

Did you look at the history of this article before deleting it? I was just about to revert it a few versions back - it had been replaced with an extremely promotional version by an IP immediately before being tagged. (On the other hand, I was going to leave the g11 tag on it, since the version it'd been replaced with was so offensively promotional I didn't think I could review the old one properly.) — Cryptic 10:58, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi Liz ! On September 13th, I created with another account the page for Miles Greenberg. I thought creating the page only in English was ok. I may created my account in French (since I'm in Montréal, Québec, Canada) by default. Miles is an artist and colleague of mine who wants a Wikipedia page.
Is it possible to retrieve his page ? I'm new to Wikipedia and the work to complete a page with all the notices is pretty long for me. If not, do I need to recreate a new page with this new account in English ? How I can make sure that the page I'm creating is only in English not to have this problem a second time ?
Thank you for your help,

While I have retired from article editing, I still keep my hand in talk page stuff at times. And when I retired, the GfA page was one of my major concerns; I'm glad it has good hands looking at it.
If I recall correctly, the SPA editor you are dealing with came into play very shortly after a known-paid editor, User:Mckaylagrace, left editing, and has been doing similarly promotional edits. There is a frequent talking up of GFA projects, often using either direct GFA sources or places that ran their press releases. I see that one of the bits that you excised from KPY's page was sourced to GFA's lawyers, so not a "third party" source we seek. If you have time, check all the sources and see what they're using; I know that there have been at least some problematic insertions since I left editing, but haven't always kept a tight eye to see what might have been undone.
There is a bit of that problem with some of what you have been reinserting. I haven't gone over everything in detail, but there were entire paragraphs sourced to the lawsuit websites. While those sites are reliable for their own statements, being non-third-party sites, they don't give you WP:DUE -- that the statement they're quoting is really of significance. That is actually reasonable to question.
When you're doing likely re-reverts, start a talk page discussion. This will have several advantages; if there's ever accusations of edit warring, you can point out that you tried to discuss matters. It leaves a clearer record of what was going on in some ways than the mere edit summaries do.
Thanks for asking for my input, and good editing to you! --New Jersey-born Nat Gertler ( talk) 22:41, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
Like all of the other subcategories in Category:Singlechart usages, it's autogenerated by the use of a template, and I created it because the use of that template had caused it to show up on Special:WantedCategories -- but because it's autogenerated, there was no way to simply remove it from the article, and just leaving it as a permanent speedbump on WantedCategories was a non-starter, so creating it was the only possible option. Since there's absolutely no way to tell when it might come back again, I'm of the opinion that it should be in the "maintenance categories that are kept for maintenance purposes even if it's empty" file, though none of its siblings are tagged with the {{ Possibly empty category}} template. All in all, I don't really care one way or the other; I created it because it was showing up as a redlink on the WantedCategories list and had to be cleared somehow, but I don't know nearly enough about Maltese record charts to have the foggiest guess as to whether there's any prospect of it returning in the future.

Hi! I placed a speedy deletion tag on Burale as it (in my opinion) makes no credible claim of significance, and I just noticed that you removed it. Could you help me understand your reasoning; what is the credible claim of significance in that article? I outlined my reasoning for requesting Speedy Deletion here, and I'm unsure where I went wrong. I largely based my argument (and understanding of the matter) on WP:CCOS.
Thanks for your time :) Actualcpscm ( talk) 12:44, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
WP:RED heavily emphasizes this point:
Only remove red links if you are certain that Wikipedia should not have an article on that subject.
After a deletion discussion with consensus such as those at WP:AFD, the general assumption is that the community has decided there should not be a Wikipedia article on that subject (with rare exceptions such as WP:TNT).
However, with speedy deletion it's usually the exact opposite: the issue is not the subject, but the article itself. Furthermore, it is decided by a single administrator and not the community, so there is certainly no consensus that Wikipedia should not have an article on that subject.

Hi Liz - could you look at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pratik Gauri (2nd nomination)? I reverted its improper closure, but I'm not sure I did it correctly (reverting AfD closures isn't something I do very often...).
To put you in the picture, I have established that all of the following accounts are socks of the same master: the article's author, its original AfD nominator, all of the accounts that !voted in the first time around, and all of the accounts that !voted 'keep' the second time, and the account that improperly closed the second discussion. Two other CUs have looked at the case we agree about the socking; it would be probably be eligible for G5, but since there are three delete votes from established accounts, I'd rather it were closed properly as a bulwark against its inevitable recreation.

Hello, Liz. I've marked this as unreviewed and added a CSD that might not work. Previously deleted by Whpq under G12; this seems poorly sourced, promotional, and might have copyvios, though you've marked this as reviewed.

Hi, Liz. Just explaining my rationale for the move of the above article to Martin Smith (Delirious?). A brief look at Martin Smith shows two people that are English musicians with that name – therefore an article titled "Martin Smith (English musician)" is still ambiguous. One of these two people is Martin Smith (drummer), which we disambiguate with their main instrument. The Martin Smith currently at Martin Smith (English musician) doesn't appear to have a primary instrument, so we can use their primary band to disambiguate – there is precedent at this; see Alan White. Smith's primary band is Delirious?, so it is a valid page title and should include the question mark. Would be great to hear your thoughts. Thanks! MIDI ( talk) 19:25, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi Liz,
I wanted to respond to your comment on the DRV without derailing that discussion by doing it there!
First, I think the work you do in deletion is very valuable, and generally beyond reproach. I hope that the DRV experience doesn't entirely put you off closing potentially-controversial deletion discussions. I suppose more than anything (except maybe RFA) DRV feels like personal criticism but as a DRV contributor I certainly don't intend it that way; it's about the process, not the people. I do think we could do a better job of remembering that closing admins are actually real people too and need to be treated with respect and and assumption of good faith (... and maybe even ... kindness?)

The paid editor who used to be handling Gospel for Asia continues editing on either client accounts... such as today's addition of an Amazon sales link to an article (as well as claims of Amazon #1 category best-seller status -- if you don't know Amazon has many thousands of microcategories and updates sales charts hourly, so even if it were documented, categorical #1 is not notable, and can often be rigged with the purchase of a handful of books in the same hour.) -- Nat Gertler ( talk) 22:34, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
I didint know how to word it so my point was clear. Pretty much I wanted the islands in the vintage article to be deleted for the reasons i stated in the AFD.

Hi - I just noticed that you closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/ChicagoPride.com (2nd nomination) as delete. Apparently no one could find any sources for the topic. I just did a quick search for the website on ProQuest though, and found several examples of major news outlets discussing the website. I'm not sure if those examples would necessarily meet the criteria of providing significant coverage, as most of them seem to simply be news articles quoting or citing something from ChicagoPride.com. But there is this article from the Chicago Sun-Times, which describes that the website was featured on a travel show at one point.
I don't actually know a lot about this topic and wouldn't have any intention of working on the ChicagoPride.com article if it were restored. But I did feel it was worth noting that at least some news coverage of the topic does exist and seems to have been overlooked during the AfD process. Jpcase ( talk) 15:52, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
Hello liz, you recently deleted one of my drafts for being a hoax. I was writting a page about the micronation of pantonia. If its okay, I would like a few things. Fistly, would it be okay if you could give me a detailed description of the reason my draft was deleted? Secondly, I dont see how my micronation was a hoax, as it is very much the real deal, or maybe you dont know what a micronation is? But you seem like a very experienced wikipedia editor so you probably do know what it is. I clearly states on multiple parts of the website that Pantonia was a Micronation, also, a draft is a draft and if there was anything there that made you think it was a hoax like the references or some of the descriptions of Pantonian regions. I actually just copied my old page from Microwiki and gave it a masive revamp, so there might still be some weird stuff on there. I published the draft because I wanted to save my work, and it was also 3 AM for me and i needed some sleep. And thirdly, I did forget to save my work locally, and I personally think I put in quite a lot of work and especially into the info box. If you decided that you wont recover my draft, it would be very nice if you could send me the sorce code so i can have everything I wrote. Im sorry for bothering you, and I hope i havent sounded too mean in my message, and I hope you have a good day and that I could also get my source code back and maybe even get my draft brought back, Thanks alot!

Hi Liz.

I noticed that you restored the tag here: Special:Diff/1124524759. I reviewed the article again, but still don't see any bare URLs remaining. Can you help by pointing out where any bare URLs are in that article so that I can try to fill them out? Thanks. – Archer1234 ( talk) 05:00, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
Well, I guess it is very simple to just remove something... but, for someone that tries to copy someone else and get it in the same format it is not that simple. Specially when you work with a page, you edit it and before you are even done it gets refused. Well, maybe because Ira Myy Palapos dont have a fancy exam.. maybe because she now only have her second research published... and maybe only because she is a girl...

Hello Liz,
I noticed that you were one of the two admins who deleted the page Chanale. I would like to continue editing the article in order to improve it for eventual re-review through AfC. I have the last article code copied from before the deletion, but do not wish for its history, including its original creator and editors to be lost. As such, I was wondering if there is a way to return the article to draft space, so it can receive further updates, and maintain its history. Is this possible?
Thank you kindly, GreenEli ( talk) 16:52, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
thanks for the clean up. Thought I'd found all the redirects. Have a great day Star Mississippi 21:17, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

to the end of an IP in
Special:Contributions to see all of a subnet's edits, and
consider blocking the whole subnet rather than an IP that may change within a minute.To start off with, no chance I'm closing that DRV.
I read your comments, and I so understand the feeling.
Looking around and seeing so many "closers" who only close the obvious, or just count "votes", can be disenheartening, to be sure.
And kudos to you for stepping up and closing the challenging ones.
I've also been caught in the sometimes catch-22 of "try to add more to the close to explain your close". There are days that I wonder even if a certified (certifiable?) lawyer could come up with the right text to say - "This close is a result of the discussion and per policy/guideline/common practice assessment, per Wikipedia:Consensus, and here's what everyone said..." Or sumptin'
So with all that said, please don't stop doing the good work you do.
And not that it means overly that much (merely being from a single Wikipedian - me) but here, a token of esteem:

Hi there, I've seen you using my query. Thanks! I'd just like to let you know I have a slightly updated version at quarry:query/68613 that excludes those weird IPs with the xxx at the end, if you'd be interested in forking and using this one instead.
I'd also like to plug the bigger version at quarry:query/68085 that includes subpages and talk pages. I've noticed often times users will also mistakenly create or move pages to subpages or talk pages of non-existent users and these pages won't be caught by the above query. If you ever have the urge or find yourself with nothing better to do, it would be awesome if we could eventually churn through the current ~1400 results so we can better keep track of this issue. If not, no big deal!

Just a FYI for the train wreck at the stalled project. The idea of the project has been suggested for some time. However, low level energy and general pessimism about raising enough supporters had been a point of contention in the past, so when the Victorian Transport project idea was put up, it was done with no consultation in the community and simply side step/avoid the project council process, another editor came in and changed it to the australian variety. However it seems there are some short fuses involved in the being shown the process, and it remains strictly speaking, in suspension. It is highly likely that given a space of time (ie there is no deadline) and the appropriate hoops required by a few editors to put it through the required steps, it could fill a very specific need in the australian transport subject area. If what remains in suspension gets zapped, so be it, but a bit of understanding and patience, there is every chance that the project could be up and running. Noting that subsidiary projects in the larger australian project that have been created in the last 5 years or so have no sign of having been processed in the project council procedures. It would be good if there was some patience with this one if it is put through the procedure without too many limited understanding judgement claims about the scope and capacity of the project to garner support and cooperation.

Well, you are always so quick to undo any edit like you did in Mujhe Pyar Hua Tha. In this case you clearly see that the article contains unreliable sources based on Instagram posts but you still remove the tag. Prod tag can be removed by any editor but are encouraged to explain why, and improve the article. For now, I'm moving this page to the AfD discussion (and you could do this too) and you can defend the page on there. Thanks M.Ashraf333 ( talk) 05:59, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
Hello Liz,
My page "Draft:Yes_No_Oracles" was deleted due to a quote that triggered a copy right violation. I apologize for the error, I was under the impression, based on Wikipedia's copy right policies: Wikipedia:Quotations allowed quotations if properly sighted, which i thought I did, but must not be understanding something.
So I would like to retrieve the content of article and hopefully re-post it without the quote altogether.

Hi. I see that you deleted this article yesterday.
The fact that it was deleted, while disappointing, doesn't hugely surprise me because after all it was on the list of articles for deletion and IIRC only one or two editors in the AfD discussion had supported retaining it (although I may be confusing that fact with the AfD discussion other article I did, about games from Tandy).
No, what surprised me was the grounds I saw for your deletion. Namely this:
( G5: Created by a banned or blocked user ( Awolf58) in violation of ban or block) Tag: Twinkle
But the article was created by me. And I am not that other user and have no clue who that user is.
I see that your immediately preceding deletions also were on these grounds. Are you sure you didn't make a mistake here, carrying out a repetitive task, and carrying forward a reason for your deletion that was valid for other articles but did not apply to the one I started?

Hello,
Liz. You previously deleted this page per
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jordon Hall. IMO the new version might be bordering on G4 (but probably will be declined), all of the refs seem to be older than when the AfD occurred, so participants probably judged those sources as insufficient. The only new part I can tell might be just a single sentence: On 7 October 2022, Hall made an appearance in the opening match for the 2022–23 A-League Men season in a grand final re-match from the previous season against Western United; coming on for Thomas Lam in the 65th minute. City went onto win the match 2–1
, otherwise the references could potentially be sufficiently identical
, Hall appeared in a new match but the new version doesn't have any refs supporting the claim that might address the original deletion IMO and a search found trivial mentions. But I'm not really sure and this was marked as reviewed by someone else, so if it's possible could you view the deleted page and check if it's sufficiently identical to the state of the page that you deleted in the AfD? Many thanks!

Hello, Liz. I would like to hear your opinion on this particular userbox – User:Katangais/Userboxes/Ian Smith. I am really puzzled that it survived two MfD nominations so far ( here and here; I was the nominator in the second one, and it was closed as no consensus). Ian Smith was the leader and personification of Rhodesia, an unrecognized white racist ethnostate, so having a userbox stating support for him is highly inflammatory and divisive, IMHO. Not to mention that it fails WP:NORACISTS, and is a clear violation of WP:UBCR. — Sundostund mppria ( talk / contribs) 22:33, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi, Just to say that I've created the above, an article I note you moved to draft and then deleted in 2021. I've no idea as to the quality of that article, but I'm assuming it wasn't that high, given your actions! I'm hoping that this version is more acceptable. It does have less independent coverage from RS than I would like, but it is notable, as it's the closest thing Wales has to an Amenity society for parks and gardens, and it is routinely consulted by Cadw on all matters relating to the conservation of historic landscapes, although not, I think, on a statutory basis. Hoping the article fits the bill but ping me if you've any concerns. Best regards. KJP1 ( talk) 14:05, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

The page has been active for several years and meets all the criteria of a valid, non-deleted biography of a living person.

For example, when I deleted 100 años de amor y luz, Twinkle correctly deleted the talk page ( Talk:100 años de amor y luz) and a redirect ( 100 años de amor y luz (album)), but it didn't delete that redirect's talk page ( Talk:100 años de amor y luz (album)) and I had to do it by hand. I figured you'd probably know: is there a way around that? And if not, is there a way to know whether there are any orphaned talk pages I need to clean up after? Thanks.

Hi Liz, Thank you for all your contributions during the year and for all your hard work keeping things running smoothly throughout the encyclopedia and especially your work at AfD. You are appreciated! |
Hello Liz, you closed the most recent AfD discussing a podcast episode list. I decided to open an RfC, which was suggested in the AfD. The RfC can be found here: WT:WikiProject_Podcasting#RfC_on_podcast_episode_lists. There has been no participation yet and I was wondering if it was acceptable to ping everyone in the AfD (or both AfDs that I mentioned in the RfC) or if that would be considered canvassing. I'm always wary of pinging others in discussions and thought I would ask your opinion. TipsyElephant ( talk) 01:44, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
Hello Liz - while I appreciate a stern warning, a flagrant abuse of powers bestowed on Scope Creep to bully me is completely unacceptable and warrants removal of that right.
Additionally it is not without context. That user has bullied me and my colleague across many articles, hounding and harassing me with COI accusations, tagging, and templating me. An action needs to happen to make this stop. At the very least, I strongly request you make this change. The user can always reapply if they show they can handle the right. They -clearly- cannot right now. ɱ (talk) 02:25, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
Hi Liz, I request you to undelete the page Kovid Mittal, since the topic meets the notability criteria. The subject played the lead roles in multiple films produced or directed by him or others.

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year, Liz!
The other day, I was having a conversation with someone about holiday cards and social media. It occurred to me that, in the years since I left Facebook, the site I use most to communicate with people I like isn't actually a social media site at all. If you're receiving this, it's pretty likely I've talked with you more recently than I have my distant relatives and college friends on FB, at very least, and we may have even collaborated on something useful. So here's a holiday "card", Wikipedia friend. :) Hope the next couple weeks bring some fun and/or rest. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 18:47, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi Liz, that you for closing the AfD.

Hello,
Liz. So I tagged this as
WP:A7, which you declined. I've checked the article again, it does not have a credible claim of significance IMO (the closest I can tell is an assertion it's been commented upon by other anonymous YouTubers...). My
WP:BEFORE found no refs, looking at their
Twitter and
YouTube page, they have 5 and 13 followers respectively. This seems to just be a group which has an obscure, completely non-notable YouTube channel, and someone decided to write an article on it. The article is about a group, which would fall under clubs, societies and groups
, so IMO
WP:A7 would apply, though if you found more refs or a credible claim of significance do let me know, if so, apologies for the mistake.
Further, the page has been proposed for deletion. In the past I've used
WP:CSD for pages that were PRODed and currently in an AfD process. Your decline stated Removing CSD tag, let this just be PROD'd
- is this because it's generally expected that a page currently PRODed or AfDed should not be tagged for speedy deletion becuase it isn't unambiguous and uncontroversial? The CSD guideline says that anything controversial isn't eligible, from what I see that seems to include pages that have been around for years with numerous editors, or pages that had a prior AfD that did not result in speedy or
WP:SNOW deletion. However, if a page is
WP:PRODed or
WP:AFDed by an user, does it mean that
WP:A7 shouldn't usually be used in conjunction? If so, do please let me know. Many thanks for your help!

Hello, I wish you the very best during the holidays. And I hope you have a very happy 2023! Bruxton ( talk) 17:19, 25 December 2022 (UTC) |
Hello Liz and happy holidays, I notice you're very experienced with reviewing AfDs and I had a question. Using this AfD discussion as an example, when "Keep" comments do not support, or are even contrary to, the notability guidelines they claim to be supporting (e.g. misinterpreting what WP:AUTHOR requires possibly confusing it with WP:NBOOK criteria; claiming that interviews with a subject (non-independent sources) contribute to notability contrary to WP:NBIO) and are demonstrably refuted, how are these weighted in the discussion? Asked another way, if the arguments made are all objecting to an AfD nom and are all demonstrated to be (assuming good faith) spurious, how is that handled by the reviewer/closer? Saucysalsa30 ( talk) 18:53, 25 December 2022 (UTC)
"Interviews are never independent sourcing"in this subject's context. Experienced editors may be experienced in some areas, but not all, such as notability criteria. Example: One of those editors commented on my other open AfD and made a demonstrably false comment due to not checking sources beforehand. [10] [11]
"The general rule is that any statements made by interviewees about themselves, their activities, or anything they are connected to is considered to have come from a primary source and is also non-independent material."WP:NBASIC presumes notability by sources being independent of the subject and secondary, which at the very least none of the interview sources fit the independence part and most are fully primary. That is, these do not show notability.

Hi Liz,
It's been a tough year and I missed the deletion review for the page Mark Worthington (journalist). I would have liked the opportunity to update and improve the page before deletion but appreciate I missed it. Hoping it can be considered for reinstatement?
I note the concern that the sources are based on "reporting by him, not about him; [2][8]." However, away from his former journalism career, I would argue that there are multiple sources reporting about him and his role in a seminal moment through the formation of a breakaway company (Klareco) in the aftermath of the Bell Pottinger scandal - which is also referenced and cited on the Bell Pottinger Wikipedia page as follows: "in the meantime, the company's regional operations in the Far East and Middle East both split away from the parent firm. The 50-strong Far East business headquartered in Singapore, was rebranded as Klareco Communications (Klareco means "clarity" in Esperanto), following a management buyout led by Mark Worthington and Ang Shih Huei." The sources include [12] https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/bell-pottinger-co-founder-quits-after-gupta-scandal-7q7hc3sf6, [13] https://www.straitstimes.com/business/companies-markets/bell-pottinger-asia-undergoes-name-change-formal-separation-from-troubled, [14] https://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/media/bell-pottinger-cofounder-quits-after-gupta-scandal/news-story/70d794dea3ed43241a997aa8d8033d3c, [15] https://www.nationthailand.com/aec/30326163

The deletion review process is not decided solely by head count, but by consensusand that is the same criteria for discussions at AFD.
Information on Wikipedia must be verifiable; if no reliable, independent sources can be found on a topic, then it should not have a separate article.. Likely thousands of BLP articles were started from IMDb or others that do not adhere to sourcing policies and guidelines. I am going to link some of the articles to the subject's name and try to find sources that back up notability. An initial search was not successful. Have a great day and Happy New Year. -- Otr500 ( talk) 09:17, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi there. Earlier this month I moved this article back into draft space due to the numerous construction issues, including those raised at the deletion discussion, although this was undone within hours. It was previously moved from article space to draft space in November, but this was shortly reverted as it occurred during the deletion discussion. I intend to move this into draft space as some time has passed and the main editor has not made any recent contributions to the article. I'm raising this with you as a courtesy beforehand. Cheers.

I proposed a reasonable alternative to deletion WP:ATD, and the discussion was closed just a few hours later. That gave nobody else a chance to challenge or support the alternative. I feel that more time would have allowed others to critique it and I am optimistic that people would agree. I think it's unconventional for an unopposed redirect target to be denied like this. Therefore asking if you might reconsider closing it, and consider instead:

I'd like to discuss the close on this. Three keeps versus four deletes, with two of the deletes (and one of the keeps) being "weak", seems like no-consensus to me.

Hi Liz and Firefly! I reached out about this a few months ago and see that we addressed (or thought we had addressed) the issue at the time, but unfortunately it's happening again — I'm getting notices that drafts I've had sitting for a while have been G13'd, and I did not receive the 5-month expiring-soon warning. This isn't a big deal for me, since as an experienced editor I both know how to easily navigate the undeletion process and am committed enough to bother. But if I'm receiving these notices, it means that newcomers are too, and that's really not good. We actively want newcomers to complete and submit their drafts rather than abandoning them. If the first notice someone gets about their draft is one that it's been deleted requiring them to post to WP:REFUND and then wait for the restoration, that's a huge hurdle that will likely deter most of them from completing their work.
Given that the downside of hosting drafts is very minimal, I feel strongly that drafts should not be being deleted unless notice has been given. As this issue has recurred at least three times in recent memory, I'm considering proposing a change to G13 to formalize the notice requirement and would be interested in your preliminary thoughts on that. For the immediate term, could we get the notices working again and pause all G13s until editors have had at least a few days to see them? Best, {{u| Sdkb}} talk 18:24, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

For the full details see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone!
Minimum deletion time: The previous WP:NPP guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification and WP:BLAR). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in the feed are now highlighted in red. (As always, this is not applicable to attack pages, copyvios, vandalism, etc.)
New draftify script: In response to feedback from AFC, the The Move to Draft script now provides a choice of set messages that also link the creator to a new, friendly
explanation page. The script also warns reviewers if the creator is probably still developing the article. The former script is no longer maintained. Please edit your edit your
common.js or vector.js file from User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js
to User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft.js
Redirects: Some of our redirect reviewers have reduced their activity and the backlog is up to 9,000+ (two months deep). If you are interested in this distinctly different task and need any help, see this guide, this checklist, and spend some time at WP:RFD.

@ MasterMatt12: Putting this discussion on your radar. I would like to know who told you this lie. --- Another Believer ( Talk) 21:25, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

I hate to start this discussion back up on your talk page @ Liz: but @ Another Believer: let me know this was going on since I'm reviewing another Portland restaurant GA nominee. I got an email from User:ThrowawayAccount4emailpurposes that sounds almost exactly like the one @ MasterMatt12: got. I didn't know what to make of it, because they said that they suspected paid advertising but the page I'm reviewing is for a bar that's been closed for years (who'd pay to advertise that?). It looks like they deleted their email as well, because the response I sent telling them to go to ANI or COIN got bounced back. Whoever it is must be canvassing GA reviewers interacting with Another Believer. BuySomeApples ( talk) 05:50, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
Following the discussion this morning, extremely disappointing and bad for the whole community not just the editor(s) who have replied here. Taking a quick look at the sockmaster's userpage ca. October 2021, I suspect some kind of offline animosity has been carried out here. AB has been and is my friend and I hope that AB's experience is better from here on out. ☆ Bri ( talk) 17:25, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
Related discussion at User talk:KeepItGoingForward. I hope I've addressed User:KeepItGoingForward's concerns by adding Template:Connected contributor (paid) to Talk:Top Level Design, Talk:Ray King (entrepreneur), Talk:.design, Talk:.gay, and Talk:.wiki. This template did not exist back when I worked on these articles, but I disclosed a COI via prose. The markup I've added is my best understanding of what to do for a former employer, but other editors are welcome to adjust as needed. Also, feel free to review/edit article text if that helps with resolving the 'connected contributor' tags, which hopefully won't serve as scarlet letters for eternity. Let me know if anything else is needed here. Thanks! --- Another Believer ( Talk) 19:59, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
I really just want to be left alone, but here are more related discussions:
Scope creep says, "I may come back at some point, perhaps next winter, with a group to examine each and every restuarant article in turn to see if it notable and try and delete the non-notable ones." Who is this "group"? --- Another Believer ( Talk) 19:32, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

❯❯❯ Raydann (Talk) 11:19, 6 January 2023 (UTC)Dear Liz, thank you for inspiring contributions to Wikipedia. Your passion for Wikipedia is palpable. I wrote a page, Akinlolu Jekins and it got deleted; i saw no notice, notification, etc like I had seen before, and I traced till I found Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Akinlolu Jekins Here are my requests:
1) Kindly restore the article as I'd like to improve it.
2) Two major comments contributed to the Delete/Keep, and reading both, I see no reason why the article was deleted. The delete comment admitted the individual attained notability, the links were credible, made some recommendations and the comment on Inherited Notability was to the favor of the article not the opposite and It is not a promotional article, as the write up itself shows.
The second comment hinged his response fully on the notability of Nigerian media houses, of which Guardian, Vanguard and Pulse were referenced. They are very notable and you can use your privileged opportunity on Wiki to check how many other articles have referenced from them. The article is rightful to be on Wikipedia. The consensus discussion couldn't be final. Please restore the page for improvements. There's no offline back up.
I saw a history of Akinlolu Jekins article which rightfully deserved to be deleted.
Kindly restore so I can improve the one I wrote.
Thank you. Pshegs ( talk) 14:20, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I hope you are doing well! I was just curious and thought you would have a good opinion on a stub I'm trying to sort out. I was considering writing a stub about a Colorado lawyer. I don't see a clear bar for notability in this case but I'm fairly sure he IS notable. This guy has saturated the airwaves in our state (for decades) and if you watch TV or in a big city as a Coloradan you'd know the person just by his ads. I don't totally know how to document it in a way that makes his notability clear. His name is Frank Azar and his cases, political contributions and various firm actions covered statewide along with a healthy dose of self published case crowing through that his firm puts our as PR. I started a stub in my sandbox, User:Unbroken Chain/sandbox. Overage like [ [20]] in the Denver Post doesn't seem like trivial coverage, nor does describing him as well known or political contribution coverage found here [ [21]]. What do you think? Unbroken Chain ( talk) 17:04, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
For when you have time: I have been lurking at AfD and making some comments and the occasional vote. I have a thought or question I would like to share with respect to the recent spate of AfDs about places in Arizona Indian country that may or may not be inhabited. I am somewhat familiar with the landscape there and can attest to the fact that several of those place are in fact extremely empty. However, what am I missing here? Surely "inhabited" is not the only criterion for notability? One of them is well-documented as an archaeological site, yet apparently this does not inherently make it notable? That's the question part. Here's the suggestion. I was just looking at an article about an extinct indigenous language in California that had been tagged for copy-edit. In doing so I looked to see whether there was an article about the ancestral homeland of that indigenous people, which is not itself extinct, just their language. (And whose name currently escapes me, sorry.) There wasn't, although there was an article about a nearby ranch. This made made me think about what's been going on with the Tohono O'odham settlements and wonder if there isn't a kind of subtle cultural appropriation being enabled there, no doubt with all good intent.
I am not suggesting that we should keep articles that are nothing more than geolocation, but it's also possible that some of these places have an importance that just isn't currently clear to us. Could we, do you think, have a rule that place names on indigenous land should be redirected to the governing jurisdiction, in these cases the reservation in question? Would that be a workable policy and does it seem like a good idea to you? If so, how would I go about getting the suggestion heard and incorporated into guidelines? I suppose it would have to be in an RfC? If so, I have never done one, and probably lack the AfD vocabulary. Do you have any suggestions? Please ping me if you reply here. Thank you, and in case anyone wonders, I have no affiliation with the Tohono O'odham or any other indigenous people, beyond a few anthropology classes in another lifetime and another place.

The issue with the creation of those "French gay actors" or "Canadian lesbian actresses" cross-categorizations wasn't really just about the "Nationality LGBT actors" categories themselves -- some of the latter, I'll grant, weren't large enough to necessarily need separate gay, lesbian, bisexual or trans subcategories, but the other half of their parentage ( Category:Gay actors, Category:Lesbian actresses, etc.) was getting too large (with hundreds or even thousands of articles per category) and did need to start being diffused into smaller subcategories. And although they were created by a blocked serial overcategorizer who gave CFD a few headaches last year, CFD did actually weigh in at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2021 November 21#Category:American gay actors with a keep. So I'd say that the categories definitely can't be emptied out without a full CFD discussion, and definitely need to have their prior contents restored to them in the meantime.
Furthermore, I don't think the new user's new scheme of separating Category:Gay film actors from Category:Gay television actors is any sort of improvement -- that's a far less defining distinction than by nationality, and isn't really a viable alternative. So those should almost certainly go to CFD -- but even if the case for by-nationality subcategories is debatable, there's a far stronger case for them than there is for divvying gay actors up by a film vs. television dichotomy. Bearcat ( talk) 22:19, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
Artist Jack Gunter would seem to clearly meet WP:GNG via multiple citations for his work over multiple decades in the Seattle Times, Skagit Valley Herald, etc. I would say that he also meets several clauses of WP:ARTIST. The now-deleted article had I believe 7+ citations showing notable coverage. Unclear why the deletion discussion had no other keep votes given the citations that meet GNG.
Your thoughts and/or undelete appreciated. Thanks. PK-WIKI ( talk) 02:32, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi I just wanted to know what happened to the Advancefd Bioncis page I noticed it was a redirect and then realized there was a lot of information removed so I restored it and began to edit it so I coudl link it to an article I want to create about the Salder case but now it's gone. It didn't look unnotable to me after all it had lots of sources but some articles here don't have any or just one. Should I not try to write about the Sadler case? Its coverage is mostly in legal journals, but it is cited precedent. Anyway, would it be OK if I write about Fewey's Pizza or Louis Graeter? And also how exactly do I start an article? I also think Salato Wildlife Center should have an article but I'm not sure because it is linked to in the box on the Newport Aquarium article but I haven't found many sources on it.

Liz, I saw Palpaldo in NPP and I was somewhat bemused that you didn't accept Onel5969's reasonable CSD tag based on creation by a banned user. Nearly every edit besides the creator has been by Minaro123 which has been, in effect, to take much of the content out (reasonably so). I think there is some misconception around the idea that the article has been "worked on"; rather, the edits made to reduce the article to barely more than a stub further the basis for its removal as it's the opposite of being developed (development being implied as the CSD#G5 clause "no substantial edits by others"). Girth didn't so much decline to CSD as to not propose it. Bungle ( talk • contribs) 21:36, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

The former year had a lot of help from IPs in the Top 25 Report a lot in the former year, and doing like you and checking the history of the annual report made me consider it being former contributor User:InPursuitOfAMorePerfectUnion evading his ban.

Hey, I replied to your message on my talk page. You know, I have tagged more than 400 pages on Wikipedia so far for "speedy deletion," which were obviously deleted for violating the rules. It's not like I'm achieving something by tagging the user pages or doing it for fun. I'm only here to contribute to Wikipedia and make it a better place, like everyone else. I believe a little appreciation would have been far preferable to threatening me with the cessation of all deletion tagging. I had a great reason to tag that user page, which I explained on my talk page as well, but at the end, I just want you to know that after all this, I don't think I'll ever tag any user pages in the future. Thanks! Waqar 💬 06:42, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
Heya, just wanted to drop a quick note. I suppressed a page just now but also needed to suppress the deletion log since it contained the (suppressible) reason for deletion. I know it wasn't you who placed the summary there, but if you're deleting pages I guess I'd just kindly ask that you check to make sure the edit summary isn't revealing what we're trying to hide.

Not sure why you recreated Saridharam after deleting it. It had recently been deleted at RfD - WP:Redirects for discussion/Log/2023 January 4#Saridharam, but I cannot tag it as a G4 as the redirect target is now different.

This article is clearly not ready for main space as currently written (it has a general feeling of being incomplete and lacking information, with TBDs all over the place). I attempted to Draftify it, but got an error message saying that a draft already exists. The preexisting draft looks almost identical to the current mainspace article, so it appears that the page was previously draftified and then the author recreated it in mainspace without improving it. I have successfully G6'd such cases before, as we essentially have duplicate pages in different namespaces, and only one namespace is (currently) the proper location for the content.

Hi @ Liz, I am unsure whether to nominate the article Prithviraj Productions for deletion through the G5 or AFD process. The article was initially created by a sockpuppet and moved to mainspace with the help of another sockpuppet. However, it has been in existence for almost two years and has received additional contributions from other editors, including IPs. If no one else had edited the article, would it still qualify for G5? If G5 is not an appropriate option, I am considering taking it to AFD. Akevsharma ( talk) 12:16, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

Concerning your recent comment to me at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Don't Leave (Simba Tagz song) (3rd nomination), I find it to be cordial but disappointing. Since you inserted yourself into that long debate, here is more detail which I must conclude that you didn't notice, given the tone of your comment.
The first AfD received some "keep" votes that were not supported by policy or reliable sources, and were nicely debunked by other voters, but the Admin closed it as "No Consensus" with no acknowledgement of any consideration beyond counting votes. Per WP:NPASR, a "No Consensus" AfD can be renominated, and I did so with what I thought was a solid argument on how the Admin committed an error the first time. That second AfD ended with the same Admin closing it with a typo-filled rage dump that only ranted at me, ignored the rest of the voters, included a threat against me, and continued to ignore the deficiencies of the article and the votes in favor of keeping it. Allow me to cite WP:CIVIL and WP:INVOLVED.
Your comment in the third AfD shows why I never called for an investigation. Admins will circle the wagons. You critiqued my timing again, as if I hadn't already heard that from your colleague, and that minor tactical mishap is again being used as a diversion away from questionable Admin behavior. Please don't reply on how Admins have tough jobs, because you're volunteers just like me. For the third AfD I request an in-depth policy-based analysis of all votes by the closing Admin, who can then make a tough but fair choice. That already failed twice. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 16:07, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
Hi, Liz! I've been going through User:Lettler's article creation history and found one I think is notable and can be kept (definitely not any of the sportspeople, since I think they would all fail our current NSPORTS requirements). Specifically Ennan Alimov, which I checked out on the Wayback Machine to verify its content. I would like to take responsibility for the article. Would you be willing to undelete it?

Hello, I hope you're well. You recently reverted edits on Niko Omilana, turning the page from an article into a redirect. I am of the opinion that the topic ticks off the items of the WP:GNG criteria and I have attempted to get a consensus (which I think I have) on the redirect's talk page. What steps do you advise I take to get the page published if this discussion doesn't satisfy consensus? - GA Melbourne ( talk) 05:06, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
Hi Liz, I've noticed you clean up a lot of deleted article references. One minor suggestion: when the link in question is on a disambiguation page, would it be possible to delete the entire entry for that article, rather than just delinking? A disambiguation page entry should have exactly one bluelink, so a zero-link entry is not desirable (nor useful, hence the rule).

Hi! Thanks for closing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of ASTM International standards (D4001–5000), though now I feel a bit silly for not properly tagging the other two articles for deletion (whoops)... That said, do I really have make yet another AFD discussion for them? They were all "subpages" of the former List of ASTM International standards article which was deleted previously, and there was a clear consensus then that it should be deleted.

Hi there, I've pinged you on one of the AfDs but you probably didn't notice it. May I ask for your help with the numerous articles (List of [language] songs recorded by [singer]) put up for deletion at Category:AfD debates (Media and music). It so happens that there are now a few separate AfDs for each singer, and this makes the entire process almost impossible. So, for example, List of songs recorded by K. S. Chithra is up for deletion but separately, the following ones as well:

There was a big misunderstanding about my user sandbox page. It was marked as “blatant hoax” and the entire page was deleted earlier today. The wiki boxes I created are used for an ongoing alternate history thread I created for reddit. Here are a few examples:

These wiki boxes are made in my user sandbox not a public wiki page, therefore I had no intentions of spreading fake news to anyone. Alternate scenario wikiboxes were also never said to be banned from Wikipedia therefore I had the freedom to make them for personal use in my own wiki sandbox. They were no where near hoax, let alone “blatant”. Please fix your blatant mistake immediately. Lucaspig HK ( talk) 06:15, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi there. While checking for any new edits (since I have filed a dispute), I noted that you have shut down this article temporarily against editing. This is fine, as I would rather be able to restore my edits more easily once the dispute process and any other following activity ends. You mention edit-warring, which I did not believe my edits amounted to, as you can see from my posts on the article Talk page, where I got the impression that the reversing editors had no real argument for their reversals and therefore chose not to engage in discussion. I also read in my dispute page that Te of kaek (one of the reversing editors who only showed up after I filed the dispute) has accused me of certain untrue activity which he kept piling up and, I feel, in a manner not suitable for Wikipedia pages. As I wrote in my reply to Te og kaek, I have only used this IP and my cell phone, no other IP or any account (I never had a Wikipedia account). When the first reversing editor (2 minutes response time) added an Armenian genocide to a Greek genocide to confound the issue, I felt that I had a right to apply my edit to both that time. Another reversal with similar arbitrary reasoning led me to investigate Wikipedia rules more closely, and I realized that the editor TimothyBlue was violating at least two Wikipedia guidelines: 1) The caption of a photo should contain only the description of the photo, and 2) Wikipedia allows no interpretations (thus, even if the caption allowed it, TimothyBlue's interpretation of the photo being a part of an alleged genocide (or two) was a violation of Wikipedia guidelines). However, now wishing to make a stronger case and to clean up the genocide allegations and propaganda (is it not obvious to you from how the sense of the article has been shifted?) to some degree, I made a bigger edit, including two references from Americans, from not two-three years ago but from a century ago, and a literal translation of a quote to remove what I felt was an intentional misrepresentation. This edit was also reversed before 24 hours passed, and with the following remark: "pov edits with weak primary sources and original research", which, in my opinion, was the reverser's contrived POV, regarding a book by a US officer and war correspondent and a 1923 US newspaper interview with a Near East Relief worker who was in Smyrna at the time of the fire. I suppose "original research" attribution was to the quote I put from Powell's book and my adding those as sources that opposed views Te og kaek espoused or wanted to protect. I had to undo Te og kaek's reversal by pointing out the fallacy of the related edit summary, also being justified as Te og kaek also added two more references, but removed mine. Every step of the way, I added a new paragraph to the article Talk page to indicate my reasoning, but no response was forthcoming. After a final reversal of my edit, I decided to file a dispute. So there we are. I believe that the editors who kept reversing my edits with weak reasons and no explanations were the ones edit-warring using the convenience of Wikipedia "undo" and as to why theirs should be the edit standing, well, we will see about that after the dispute process and any following management activity. Thank you for bearing with me through this somewhat lengthy discourse, but I wish for no misunderstanding. As I have no account, I can check for your reply here in a day or two. 70.164.212.36 ( talk) 23:54, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi Liz, currently a user is unilaterally redirecting articles I have written on 18th & 19th century vessels. (The Woodman (1804 ship) was an example of this. Another user reverted the redirect and then it went to AfD, where you decided on a merge, which I executed.) I believe that the deletionist editor is doing this to avoid the AfD process, which can take a while and where the outcome is uncertain. AfDs are more visible and lead to other editors trying to improve the article. I would like to revert all the redirects but am concerned about retaliation. The editor in question has just proposed for deletion a ship index page where another editor moved articles the deletionist editor had redirected. Thoughts? Thanks for considering this.

Hi Liz, can you please restore Glossary of French criminal law/Compact ToC? This is not a duplicate of an existing template, it is the specific configuration designed for indexing only the article Glossary of French criminal law, and which appears at each letter division. It does not generate the same output as {{ Compact Toc}} does, and wouldn't work under the current letter distribution at that article. What happens if you use {{ Compact Toc}} instead, is that you have to duplicate the params identically 26 times (or however many), and it slowly gets out of sync, going through ToC rot" as the article ages. In addition, changes to the Toc have to be repeated 26 times every time you make a change. This avoids that. As the article stands now, I no longer have the convenience of the index within easy reach, and have to go to the top. Thanks, Mathglot ( talk) 08:12, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello @ Liz! While I agree with the comments about the page on actress Lara Heller, that it is written in a promotional way, I want to tell you the reason why I have decided to write about her. The first reason was to link an English-language page to the English page of the European School of Luxembourg where she (and I) studied; see the wiki page: /info/en/?search=European_School,_Luxembourg_I (footnote 12). Though the page I wrote did not mention it (yet) the sources tell a bit of the story behind her growing up in a tiny country where she did not have much enternainment, but embraced ice skating to satisfy her desire to entertain people, and even represented Germany and Luxembourg in professional ice skating (again, I agree that the sources might not be very reliable, but in a video interview on vimeo she says how she embraces cultural understanding to build character. Again, this is purely related to her growing up in a multicultural, and multinational country, and especially having been at the European School of Luxembourg, in an educational system that promotes diversity (also notice the mention about religion in the school page - her being half Persian, she studied Ethics instead of Catholicism - often the students who studied Ethics, were very good at arts)
The second reason I wrote about her, was because there is already a German version of the page. It is 95% a translation of that page. I would not have thought that despite all the info about her, that only the English page would be considered ’’non-significant’’. I agree that her roles were not big so far, but she played in a diverse set of films from directors of all backgrounds, and that’s what makes her exceptional (again, in accordance to her origins, and how she grew-up) — Preceding unsigned comment added by GoodSimon ( talk • contribs) 13:01, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi, you'd assume that having a special CSD template reserved solely for this purpose would be enough, but I suppose not... well, Template:Db-afc-move states that it is only placed by draft reviewers. Obviously while it was previously declined, it was about to be accepted by me, and was not just put there randomly.
Unfortunately an IP editor then did a copy paste move to that page but I would still request it be speedy deleted so I can accept the draft properly instead. Otherwise there is zero attribution. Thank you. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ) 19:59, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi Liz, thanks for taking a moment out of your busy schedule. You recently deleted pages for Strawberryfrog and the CEO, Scott Goodson. While I agree there was needed improvement on the pages, I believe this agency, along with the CEO are important contributors to the advertising and marketing industry, specifically related their impact on movement marketing, cultural movements and also brand purpose. I believe both pages are very important specifically with regard to their impact on today’s social environment and how social and cultural movements impact brands and purchase behaviors. Additionally, I believe Scott Goodson does meet the criteria for notoriety on the subject matter as he has and continues to be recognized throughout the marketing and advertising industry trades as a subject leader and has won multiple awards in the category.
If the previous pages were not suitable based on Wikipedia guidelines, I’d like to request that I am allowed to recreate them from scratch closely following Wikipedia protocols in order to properly connect the dots and communicate a clear story on the subject matters at hand.
My personal stake in this is that I am a marketing professional and a huge advocate on how social movements are an essential part of how businesses and organizations should be doing business in this day and age for the benefit of society along with their employees; which can also benefit their own business interests at the same time.

Hello, I saw you've closed the AFD discussion pertaining to the above subject as "close". I don't truly believe we ever reached any consensus for the same. Like many of my questions were unanswered or simply ignored by some editors.
I wish to further take this article to DRV process as I believe it can be saved or atleast I deserve to be answered to my queries relating to the AFD. Do let me know your views about it, thanks. ✠ Rejoy2003 ✠ (contact) 06:37, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello. Unfortunately I have not been editing Wikipedia regularly for several years and I missed the discussion which resulted in Haris Haroon's article being deleted.
The allegations that led to this article being deleted a second time were the same that were given the first time it was deleted, and I believed that these issues were addressed when the article was previously restored. I would like to respond to these ideas and to attempt to permanently restore the article. Can you help me to open a discussion to restore the article?

Hi Liz, I'm a bit confused about why you moved the Josh Caray article back to mainspace. Per the deletion long, it was an uncontested PROD from 2013, and I requested that it be REFUNDed in 2022 so I could work on improving it. At this point, I haven't done much work on it, and probably won't, so shouldn't it just be deleted again? Thanks. BilCat ( talk) 19:38, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
Hello Liz. It’s been 4 days since our last discussion on the page that was tagged for speedy deletion. I tried looking for it in drafts and could not find it.

Hi Liz, hope you are doing well. I have a question that touches both on COI editing and copyright - the page for Isabel Waidner recently got a new photo from a very new editor (Angsthase1) who replaced the previous photo from a public event attended by Josie Fraser with a selfie of the author. I reached out on their talk page to confirm that this wasn't a copyright violation and got a respond from an IP that this user is Isabel Waidner themself and this selfie is the photo they want used, the previous photo was taken and uploaded without their consent (not sure how this plays out at a public event but okay), etc. I don't have any proof that this editor is Isabel Waidner beyond the claim of the IP editor and was thinking of reaching out to them via their publicly available email address. Do you have a suggestion for the language I might use about explaining the potential COI issue, the language they might consider adding to their user page about COI, what to put on the Wikimedia page for the image itself, etc.? I'm a big fan of this author's work and want to make this a positive experience for them but at the same time I know we have these bylaws for a reason.
If there is another editor who might be better to ask, please let me know! Thanks, as always, for any help. Best, Kazamzam ( talk) 16:58, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
Hi Liz!
I am new to Wiki editing so please excuse my confusion on how the repost/undeleting of a deleted page works. After reading several Wiki how articles on this process, I read to contact the admin who closed the article which I believe was you? If you could help me out with this that would be so appreciated!
Anyways, recently the Wiki article about Sean Bielat was deleted on a consensus by other users that he is not notable enough to comply with Wiki's notability rules. However after reading Wiki's notability rules, it states as follows:
"People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." (Wiki 2022)
I can provide several secondary sources that covered Sean Bielat's Campaign against Barney Frank in 2010 as well as multiple sources of his business endeavors and accomplishments with the company IRobot, Endeavor Robotics, as well as his involvement in several other businesses or startups. I will link just a few, please let me know if you need to see more evidence of Sean Bielat's significant contributions and notability in society. Thanks so much!

Hi there, as I've recently found out, you've deleted the above mentioned article, whose author I am, on February 12. As I didn't expect this would eventually happen (whether somebody or something is "notable" or not, at final step always depends on somebody's subjective judgement, and often I find WP articles not being perfect nevertheless left as "stubs" for further improvement): are these deleted articles (at least temporarily) stored somewhere in order to give their authors/creators an opportunity to retrieve the deleted last version for further private use? As I, and others assumably too, may have put a lot of effort to compose these articles, sometimes even improved/corrected by others before deletion, it would be nice to have this "last chance".

Hi Liz, just dropping a line about the many empty continent-by-descent categories at Wikipedia:Database reports/Empty categories. At first I thought they might have been correctly emptied by the deletion of various former sub-cats per Jc37's close at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2022 December 19#American people of European descent by occupation, but no, they are not occupational intersections. From User_talk:Oli2000s it looks as if they are just newbie mistakes. They can go. – Fayenatic London 23:57, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
Hi Liz. While looking at the history of Complete blood count, an article I have done a lot of work on, I noticed that you closed WP:Articles for deletion/External quality assessment as "soft delete". I'd like to contest this soft deletion. The article may have been in poor shape, but this is a very notable topic - see for example this publication from the WHO. At worst, it could be merged into another page such as Laboratory quality control. I'd like to request that the article be restored. Thanks, Spicy ( talk) 09:34, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
Hello Liz, I was wondering whether you would advise me to open another RfC for podcast episode lists. I'm asking you because you are an admin, you closed the AfD for Off Menu which led to the first RfC, and because recent deletions have led to more opposition than I expected. While some recent deletions have gone relatively unopposed such as ID10T, The Bugle, and so far Dr. Floyd. Others have been met with quite a bit of opposition with new reasons for keeping these lists. For instance, Employee of the Month and Comdey Bang! Bang! have led to what appears to be consensus's to keep (granted they are not closed yet). The !voters have cited guidelines that were not brought up in the previous RfC. Such as WP:OKFORK, WP:LENGTH, WP:SIZERULE, WP:ATD, WP:IAR, and the claim that these lists are not independent subjects of their respective podcasts thus WP:NLIST does not apply. I've also done quite a few PRODs and BLARs that have been met with mixed reception from other editors. I assume you are aware of these developments considering you've closed or relisted many of the discussions and also deprodded the two lists of Judge John Hodgman episodes. So my two questions are: would you recommend another RfC? And do you think it would be canvassing or excessive to indiscriminately ping everyone who has participated in the recent deletion discussions (and perhaps also the prods and blars)? Considering the extreme lack of participation in the previous RfC I would be afraid of opening another RfC without any participation, but I also don't want to skew the discussion one way or the other based on who I ping.

Hello, Liz. Is it really worth posting literally hundreds of speedy deletion notifications to User talk:Oli2000s? 🤔 It is likely to make it horrendously difficult for either Oli2000s or anyone else to find other messages buried in the editing history, 😟 and is unlikely to serve any useful purpose. Maybe just leaving a brief message saying something to the effect "... and the same is likely to apply to the other pointless categories you created." JBW ( talk) 09:09, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for your message. I get a bit paranoid sometimes, and I think all I need is to calm down a bit before acting, and wait and think.

Hi @ Liz! I have an NPP-related issue with Alina Kovalenko and thought you might be able to help. I was the original NPP of the page and did not think it met WP:BLP. However, I thought that some claims of significance meant the author should be given time to work on it and so I draftified it. The author then moved the draft back into mainspace and, somehow, it is now showing up as an article I had created and, as such, disables my review window.
Am I missing something obvious here? In my limited, though hopefully thorough, track record as NPP, I don't believe I have encountered anything similar. I think it should be sent as AfD, but I am not quite sure how to proceed as I would be notifying my own self about deletion, while I can't really claim it as my own for CSD. I hope this won't turn out to be something embarrassingly obvious, though if it does, I apologize in advance. Kindly advise and thank you very much for your help.

Hello @ Liz! I think the article was prematurely deleted before the discussion came to a real conclusion. In my opinion, the arguments added last have not been conclusively discussed or considered. For example WP:CREATIVE#3: That a new concept is presented by the inventor of this very concept in self-written articles is common practice. But it is crucial that it is published by an independent publisher - which is exactly the case here ... It would be nice if the article could be restored for the time being in order to get some more opinions. There are also some additions I could make to the article. Thanks and best wishes!

I see where this article has been deleted due to "presumptive" copyright violations—or some such—I could not find any discussion of this particular article describing whether actual copyright violations were found, or whether it was possible to remedy them. This article was badly titled—and perhaps a candidate for merging into Valerius Maximus, but I don't recall, since I didn't review it regularly. But it was linked in the bibliography section of hundreds of articles under WikiProject Classical Greece and Rome's purview, and as far as I know the entire project was unaware that the article was likely to be deleted.
It could of course be re-created without copyright violations—but without even being able to see what it contained before, it's difficult to identify the issues and the entire process would have to start from scratch, which is much harder than fixing an extant but problematic article. And it'll be a nightmare to re-link it to all the entries from which links were removed—I just know that my watchlist is suddenly buried under an avalanche of notices that the link was removed. I have no idea what sources were used for the article now, and no way to check.
I would have supposed that it probably drew from the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica, and possibly the Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, or similar sources long out of copyright (which nonetheless should be cited for passages taken directly from them—I have never had any problem with this). But it's frustrating that key articles from WikiProject CGR have been deleted without notice to the project, or the opportunity for project members to review the contents and fix the copyright violations, and as far as I can tell without even a record of what specific issues there were.
Do we really need to start from scratch without any idea what the article used to say? Fixing an article to remove copyright violations I can do in a few hours, maybe less. If I have to start it from scratch, then the subject just might go without an article indefinitely, as that could take a lot more time to do correctly—and then the work of relinking it to hundreds of articles... bleh is not too strong a word!

I think I can trust you not to copy over any text from old versions or closely phrase what you are writing to it-- this was deleted as part of a CCI, and the editor tended to copy from difficult to access/offline sources.

Hi Liz, I have a question/idea and thought I'd reach out since you close a lot of geography AfDs. When AfD closers go through and remove redlinks for deleted geo articles, they often leave the unlinked names in lists even when the location completely fails verification. I recently went through the Arizona populated place lists starting with List of places in Arizona (A) and deleted probably half of the entries as unsourced and unverified. Many were very clearly natural features that were mislabeled as "populated places" in GNIS. I added hidden text requesting that these be deleted, not just unlinked, but I don't think admins are noticing it. Should admins be removing these entries entirely and if so, what's the best way to get the word out? Thanks in advance for your help. – dlthewave ☎ 00:03, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

I see you have closed some drive-by Afds of this kind, accepting the argument that "ambassadors are not inherently notable" and that coverage is "routine". The WP:GNG is of course nothing to do with importance, so in theory an ambassador could prove to be non-notable, but thanks to the coverage they get in their international role it would be pretty hard for one to achieve such obscurity; and what may be "routine coverage" for an ambassador is clearly at a higher level than for other less notable roles. My rule of thumb would be to say that on the balance of probability almost all British ambassadors will be found to be notable, thanks to coverage they receive in reliable national news media and in reference works. So I would suggest that in each such case the editor closing the Afd ought to look closely at whether significant coverage is already linked on the page or is easily available, however many people are agreeing with the nominator in a few words without looking at the sources.

Hello Liz, you deleted the Shane Watt page I had created a few years ago. I've since seen that Wikipedia allows for the flagging of personal interests related to a subject matter. I ran an independent record label from 97-2007 and Shane Watt's album was our last release. I am no longer in this industry (I'm a researcher) but like to document the independent music of the scene that I was a part of. I have fond memories of Shane and believe that his output as a producer, musician, and visual artist meets Wikipedia criterias for notories. I'd like to request that the article be reinstated (or that I be allowed to recreate it) and if necessary, I'd like to be allowed to flag the relationship, before it's evaluated on its own merit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexmegelas ( talk • contribs) 00:28, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello Liz!
I had no idea that an article I wrote (and helped get approved by a Wikipedia admin/veteran editor) had been deleted about a month ago, until today. I wish I could've fought to keep it or add sources... whatever was needed to meet the standards, I would've done or gotten assistance. I'm asking you dearly to reconsider the deletion, re-write parts of the article or guide me in a direction towards getting it back up in a timely manner as it really means a lot to me and the person/business is about to have it. There are MANY articles who have just as few sources and info that DON'T get deemed "promotable" or "not credible" which are still up. The article was called LiveLine with Mason.

Did you look at the history of this article before deleting it? I was just about to revert it a few versions back - it had been replaced with an extremely promotional version by an IP immediately before being tagged. (On the other hand, I was going to leave the g11 tag on it, since the version it'd been replaced with was so offensively promotional I didn't think I could review the old one properly.) — Cryptic 10:58, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi Liz ! On September 13th, I created with another account the page for Miles Greenberg. I thought creating the page only in English was ok. I may created my account in French (since I'm in Montréal, Québec, Canada) by default. Miles is an artist and colleague of mine who wants a Wikipedia page.
Is it possible to retrieve his page ? I'm new to Wikipedia and the work to complete a page with all the notices is pretty long for me. If not, do I need to recreate a new page with this new account in English ? How I can make sure that the page I'm creating is only in English not to have this problem a second time ?
Thank you for your help,

While I have retired from article editing, I still keep my hand in talk page stuff at times. And when I retired, the GfA page was one of my major concerns; I'm glad it has good hands looking at it.
If I recall correctly, the SPA editor you are dealing with came into play very shortly after a known-paid editor, User:Mckaylagrace, left editing, and has been doing similarly promotional edits. There is a frequent talking up of GFA projects, often using either direct GFA sources or places that ran their press releases. I see that one of the bits that you excised from KPY's page was sourced to GFA's lawyers, so not a "third party" source we seek. If you have time, check all the sources and see what they're using; I know that there have been at least some problematic insertions since I left editing, but haven't always kept a tight eye to see what might have been undone.
There is a bit of that problem with some of what you have been reinserting. I haven't gone over everything in detail, but there were entire paragraphs sourced to the lawsuit websites. While those sites are reliable for their own statements, being non-third-party sites, they don't give you WP:DUE -- that the statement they're quoting is really of significance. That is actually reasonable to question.
When you're doing likely re-reverts, start a talk page discussion. This will have several advantages; if there's ever accusations of edit warring, you can point out that you tried to discuss matters. It leaves a clearer record of what was going on in some ways than the mere edit summaries do.
Thanks for asking for my input, and good editing to you! --New Jersey-born Nat Gertler ( talk) 22:41, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
Like all of the other subcategories in Category:Singlechart usages, it's autogenerated by the use of a template, and I created it because the use of that template had caused it to show up on Special:WantedCategories -- but because it's autogenerated, there was no way to simply remove it from the article, and just leaving it as a permanent speedbump on WantedCategories was a non-starter, so creating it was the only possible option. Since there's absolutely no way to tell when it might come back again, I'm of the opinion that it should be in the "maintenance categories that are kept for maintenance purposes even if it's empty" file, though none of its siblings are tagged with the {{ Possibly empty category}} template. All in all, I don't really care one way or the other; I created it because it was showing up as a redlink on the WantedCategories list and had to be cleared somehow, but I don't know nearly enough about Maltese record charts to have the foggiest guess as to whether there's any prospect of it returning in the future.

Hi! I placed a speedy deletion tag on Burale as it (in my opinion) makes no credible claim of significance, and I just noticed that you removed it. Could you help me understand your reasoning; what is the credible claim of significance in that article? I outlined my reasoning for requesting Speedy Deletion here, and I'm unsure where I went wrong. I largely based my argument (and understanding of the matter) on WP:CCOS.

WP:RED heavily emphasizes this point:
Only remove red links if you are certain that Wikipedia should not have an article on that subject.
After a deletion discussion with consensus such as those at WP:AFD, the general assumption is that the community has decided there should not be a Wikipedia article on that subject (with rare exceptions such as WP:TNT).
However, with speedy deletion it's usually the exact opposite: the issue is not the subject, but the article itself. Furthermore, it is decided by a single administrator and not the community, so there is certainly no consensus that Wikipedia should not have an article on that subject.

Hi Liz - could you look at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pratik Gauri (2nd nomination)? I reverted its improper closure, but I'm not sure I did it correctly (reverting AfD closures isn't something I do very often...).
To put you in the picture, I have established that all of the following accounts are socks of the same master: the article's author, its original AfD nominator, all of the accounts that !voted in the first time around, and all of the accounts that !voted 'keep' the second time, and the account that improperly closed the second discussion. Two other CUs have looked at the case we agree about the socking; it would be probably be eligible for G5, but since there are three delete votes from established accounts, I'd rather it were closed properly as a bulwark against its inevitable recreation.

Hi, Liz. Just explaining my rationale for the move of the above article to Martin Smith (Delirious?). A brief look at Martin Smith shows two people that are English musicians with that name – therefore an article titled "Martin Smith (English musician)" is still ambiguous. One of these two people is Martin Smith (drummer), which we disambiguate with their main instrument. The Martin Smith currently at Martin Smith (English musician) doesn't appear to have a primary instrument, so we can use their primary band to disambiguate – there is precedent at this; see Alan White. Smith's primary band is Delirious?, so it is a valid page title and should include the question mark. Would be great to hear your thoughts. Thanks! MIDI ( talk) 19:25, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi Liz,
I wanted to respond to your comment on the DRV without derailing that discussion by doing it there!
First, I think the work you do in deletion is very valuable, and generally beyond reproach. I hope that the DRV experience doesn't entirely put you off closing potentially-controversial deletion discussions. I suppose more than anything (except maybe RFA) DRV feels like personal criticism but as a DRV contributor I certainly don't intend it that way; it's about the process, not the people. I do think we could do a better job of remembering that closing admins are actually real people too and need to be treated with respect and and assumption of good faith (... and maybe even ... kindness?)

Hi - I just noticed that you closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/ChicagoPride.com (2nd nomination) as delete. Apparently no one could find any sources for the topic. I just did a quick search for the website on ProQuest though, and found several examples of major news outlets discussing the website. I'm not sure if those examples would necessarily meet the criteria of providing significant coverage, as most of them seem to simply be news articles quoting or citing something from ChicagoPride.com. But there is this article from the Chicago Sun-Times, which describes that the website was featured on a travel show at one point.
I don't actually know a lot about this topic and wouldn't have any intention of working on the ChicagoPride.com article if it were restored. But I did feel it was worth noting that at least some news coverage of the topic does exist and seems to have been overlooked during the AfD process. Jpcase ( talk) 15:52, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
Hello liz, you recently deleted one of my drafts for being a hoax. I was writting a page about the micronation of pantonia. If its okay, I would like a few things. Fistly, would it be okay if you could give me a detailed description of the reason my draft was deleted? Secondly, I dont see how my micronation was a hoax, as it is very much the real deal, or maybe you dont know what a micronation is? But you seem like a very experienced wikipedia editor so you probably do know what it is. I clearly states on multiple parts of the website that Pantonia was a Micronation, also, a draft is a draft and if there was anything there that made you think it was a hoax like the references or some of the descriptions of Pantonian regions. I actually just copied my old page from Microwiki and gave it a masive revamp, so there might still be some weird stuff on there. I published the draft because I wanted to save my work, and it was also 3 AM for me and i needed some sleep. And thirdly, I did forget to save my work locally, and I personally think I put in quite a lot of work and especially into the info box. If you decided that you wont recover my draft, it would be very nice if you could send me the sorce code so i can have everything I wrote. Im sorry for bothering you, and I hope i havent sounded too mean in my message, and I hope you have a good day and that I could also get my source code back and maybe even get my draft brought back, Thanks alot!

Hello Liz,
I noticed that you were one of the two admins who deleted the page Chanale. I would like to continue editing the article in order to improve it for eventual re-review through AfC. I have the last article code copied from before the deletion, but do not wish for its history, including its original creator and editors to be lost. As such, I was wondering if there is a way to return the article to draft space, so it can receive further updates, and maintain its history. Is this possible?

to the end of an IP in
Special:Contributions to see all of a subnet's edits, and
consider blocking the whole subnet rather than an IP that may change within a minute.To start off with, no chance I'm closing that DRV.
I read your comments, and I so understand the feeling.
Looking around and seeing so many "closers" who only close the obvious, or just count "votes", can be disenheartening, to be sure.
And kudos to you for stepping up and closing the challenging ones.
I've also been caught in the sometimes catch-22 of "try to add more to the close to explain your close". There are days that I wonder even if a certified (certifiable?) lawyer could come up with the right text to say - "This close is a result of the discussion and per policy/guideline/common practice assessment, per Wikipedia:Consensus, and here's what everyone said..." Or sumptin'
So with all that said, please don't stop doing the good work you do.
And not that it means overly that much (merely being from a single Wikipedian - me) but here, a token of esteem:

Hi there, I've seen you using my query. Thanks! I'd just like to let you know I have a slightly updated version at quarry:query/68613 that excludes those weird IPs with the xxx at the end, if you'd be interested in forking and using this one instead.
I'd also like to plug the bigger version at quarry:query/68085 that includes subpages and talk pages. I've noticed often times users will also mistakenly create or move pages to subpages or talk pages of non-existent users and these pages won't be caught by the above query. If you ever have the urge or find yourself with nothing better to do, it would be awesome if we could eventually churn through the current ~1400 results so we can better keep track of this issue. If not, no big deal!

Just a FYI for the train wreck at the stalled project. The idea of the project has been suggested for some time. However, low level energy and general pessimism about raising enough supporters had been a point of contention in the past, so when the Victorian Transport project idea was put up, it was done with no consultation in the community and simply side step/avoid the project council process, another editor came in and changed it to the australian variety. However it seems there are some short fuses involved in the being shown the process, and it remains strictly speaking, in suspension. It is highly likely that given a space of time (ie there is no deadline) and the appropriate hoops required by a few editors to put it through the required steps, it could fill a very specific need in the australian transport subject area. If what remains in suspension gets zapped, so be it, but a bit of understanding and patience, there is every chance that the project could be up and running. Noting that subsidiary projects in the larger australian project that have been created in the last 5 years or so have no sign of having been processed in the project council procedures. It would be good if there was some patience with this one if it is put through the procedure without too many limited understanding judgement claims about the scope and capacity of the project to garner support and cooperation.

Well, you are always so quick to undo any edit like you did in Mujhe Pyar Hua Tha. In this case you clearly see that the article contains unreliable sources based on Instagram posts but you still remove the tag. Prod tag can be removed by any editor but are encouraged to explain why, and improve the article. For now, I'm moving this page to the AfD discussion (and you could do this too) and you can defend the page on there. Thanks M.Ashraf333 ( talk) 05:59, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
Hello Liz,
My page "Draft:Yes_No_Oracles" was deleted due to a quote that triggered a copy right violation. I apologize for the error, I was under the impression, based on Wikipedia's copy right policies: Wikipedia:Quotations allowed quotations if properly sighted, which i thought I did, but must not be understanding something.
So I would like to retrieve the content of article and hopefully re-post it without the quote altogether.

Hi. I see that you deleted this article yesterday.
The fact that it was deleted, while disappointing, doesn't hugely surprise me because after all it was on the list of articles for deletion and IIRC only one or two editors in the AfD discussion had supported retaining it (although I may be confusing that fact with the AfD discussion other article I did, about games from Tandy).
No, what surprised me was the grounds I saw for your deletion. Namely this:
( G5: Created by a banned or blocked user ( Awolf58) in violation of ban or block) Tag: Twinkle
But the article was created by me. And I am not that other user and have no clue who that user is.
I see that your immediately preceding deletions also were on these grounds. Are you sure you didn't make a mistake here, carrying out a repetitive task, and carrying forward a reason for your deletion that was valid for other articles but did not apply to the one I started?

Hello,
Liz. You previously deleted this page per
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jordon Hall. IMO the new version might be bordering on G4 (but probably will be declined), all of the refs seem to be older than when the AfD occurred, so participants probably judged those sources as insufficient. The only new part I can tell might be just a single sentence: On 7 October 2022, Hall made an appearance in the opening match for the 2022–23 A-League Men season in a grand final re-match from the previous season against Western United; coming on for Thomas Lam in the 65th minute. City went onto win the match 2–1
, otherwise the references could potentially be sufficiently identical
, Hall appeared in a new match but the new version doesn't have any refs supporting the claim that might address the original deletion IMO and a search found trivial mentions. But I'm not really sure and this was marked as reviewed by someone else, so if it's possible could you view the deleted page and check if it's sufficiently identical to the state of the page that you deleted in the AfD? Many thanks!

Hello, Liz. I would like to hear your opinion on this particular userbox – User:Katangais/Userboxes/Ian Smith. I am really puzzled that it survived two MfD nominations so far ( here and here; I was the nominator in the second one, and it was closed as no consensus). Ian Smith was the leader and personification of Rhodesia, an unrecognized white racist ethnostate, so having a userbox stating support for him is highly inflammatory and divisive, IMHO. Not to mention that it fails WP:NORACISTS, and is a clear violation of WP:UBCR. — Sundostund mppria ( talk / contribs) 22:33, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi, Just to say that I've created the above, an article I note you moved to draft and then deleted in 2021. I've no idea as to the quality of that article, but I'm assuming it wasn't that high, given your actions! I'm hoping that this version is more acceptable. It does have less independent coverage from RS than I would like, but it is notable, as it's the closest thing Wales has to an Amenity society for parks and gardens, and it is routinely consulted by Cadw on all matters relating to the conservation of historic landscapes, although not, I think, on a statutory basis.

The page has been active for several years and meets all the criteria of a valid, non-deleted biography of a living person.

Hi Liz. Quick question for you: when I delete a page with Twinkle, is it possible to have it delete the talk pages of any redirects? For example, when I deleted 100 años de amor y luz, Twinkle correctly deleted the talk page ( Talk:100 años de amor y luz) and a redirect ( 100 años de amor y luz (album)), but it didn't delete that redirect's talk page ( Talk:100 años de amor y luz (album)) and I had to do it by hand.

Hello Liz, you closed the most recent AfD discussing a podcast episode list. I decided to open an RfC, which was suggested in the AfD. The RfC can be found here: WT:WikiProject_Podcasting#RfC_on_podcast_episode_lists. There has been no participation yet and I was wondering if it was acceptable to ping everyone in the AfD (or both AfDs that I mentioned in the RfC) or if that would be considered canvassing.

Hello Liz - while I appreciate a stern warning, a flagrant abuse of powers bestowed on Scope Creep to bully me is completely unacceptable and warrants removal of that right.
Additionally it is not without context. That user has bullied me and my colleague across many articles, hounding and harassing me with COI accusations, tagging, and templating me.

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year, Liz!
The other day, I was having a conversation with someone about holiday cards and social media. It occurred to me that, in the years since I left Facebook, the site I use most to communicate with people I like isn't actually a social media site at all. If you're receiving this, it's pretty likely I've talked with you more recently than I have my distant relatives and college friends on FB, at very least, and we may have even collaborated on something useful. So here's a holiday "card", Wikipedia friend. :) Hope the next couple weeks bring some fun and/or rest. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 18:47, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello,
Liz. So I tagged this as
WP:A7, which you declined. I've checked the article again, it does not have a credible claim of significance IMO (the closest I can tell is an assertion it's been commented upon by other anonymous YouTubers...). My
WP:BEFORE found no refs, looking at their
Twitter and
YouTube page, they have 5 and 13 followers respectively. This seems to just be a group which has an obscure, completely non-notable YouTube channel, and someone decided to write an article on it. The article is about a group, which would fall under clubs, societies and groups
, so IMO
WP:A7 would apply, though if you found more refs or a credible claim of significance do let me know, if so, apologies for the mistake.
Further, the page has been proposed for deletion. In the past I've used
WP:CSD for pages that were PRODed and currently in an AfD process. Your decline stated Removing CSD tag, let this just be PROD'd
- is this because it's generally expected that a page currently PRODed or AfDed should not be tagged for speedy deletion becuase it isn't unambiguous and uncontroversial? The CSD guideline says that anything controversial isn't eligible, from what I see that seems to include pages that have been around for years with numerous editors, or pages that had a prior AfD that did not result in speedy or
WP:SNOW deletion. However, if a page is
WP:PRODed or
WP:AFDed by an user, does it mean that
WP:A7 shouldn't usually be used in conjunction? If so, do please let me know. Many thanks for your help!

Hello, I wish you the very best during the holidays. And I hope you have a very happy 2023! Bruxton ( talk) 17:19, 25 December 2022 (UTC) |
Hello Liz and happy holidays, I notice you're very experienced with reviewing AfDs and I had a question. Using this AfD discussion as an example, when "Keep" comments do not support, or are even contrary to, the notability guidelines they claim to be supporting (e.g. misinterpreting what WP:AUTHOR requires possibly confusing it with WP:NBOOK criteria; claiming that interviews with a subject (non-independent sources) contribute to notability contrary to WP:NBIO) and are demonstrably refuted, how are these weighted in the discussion? Asked another way, if the arguments made are all objecting to an AfD nom and are all demonstrated to be (assuming good faith) spurious, how is that handled by the reviewer/closer? Saucysalsa30 ( talk) 18:53, 25 December 2022 (UTC)
"Interviews are never independent sourcing"in this subject's context. Experienced editors may be experienced in some areas, but not all, such as notability criteria. Example: One of those editors commented on my other open AfD and made a demonstrably false comment due to not checking sources beforehand. [10] [11]
"The general rule is that any statements made by interviewees about themselves, their activities, or anything they are connected to is considered to have come from a primary source and is also non-independent material."WP:NBASIC presumes notability by sources being independent of the subject and secondary, which at the very least none of the interview sources fit the independence part and most are fully primary. That is, these do not show notability.

Hi Liz,
It's been a tough year and I missed the deletion review for the page Mark Worthington (journalist). I would have liked the opportunity to update and improve the page before deletion but appreciate I missed it. Hoping it can be considered for reinstatement?
I note the concern that the sources are based on "reporting by him, not about him; [2][8]." However, away from his former journalism career, I would argue that there are multiple sources reporting about him and his role in a seminal moment through the formation of a breakaway company (Klareco) in the aftermath of the Bell Pottinger scandal - which is also referenced and cited on the Bell Pottinger Wikipedia page as follows: "in the meantime, the company's regional operations in the Far East and Middle East both split away from the parent firm. The 50-strong Far East business headquartered in Singapore, was rebranded as Klareco Communications (Klareco means "clarity" in Esperanto), following a management buyout led by Mark Worthington and Ang Shih Huei." The sources include [12] https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/bell-pottinger-co-founder-quits-after-gupta-scandal-7q7hc3sf6, [13] https://www.straitstimes.com/business/companies-markets/bell-pottinger-asia-undergoes-name-change-formal-separation-from-troubled, [14] https://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/media/bell-pottinger-cofounder-quits-after-gupta-scandal/news-story/70d794dea3ed43241a997aa8d8033d3c, [15] https://www.nationthailand.com/aec/30326163

The deletion review process is not decided solely by head count, but by consensusand that is the same criteria for discussions at AFD.
Information on Wikipedia must be verifiable; if no reliable, independent sources can be found on a topic, then it should not have a separate article.. Likely thousands of BLP articles were started from IMDb or others that do not adhere to sourcing policies and guidelines. I am going to link some of the articles to the subject's name and try to find sources that back up notability. An initial search was not successful. Have a great day and Happy New Year. -- Otr500 ( talk) 09:17, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi there. Earlier this month I moved this article back into draft space due to the numerous construction issues, including those raised at the deletion discussion, although this was undone within hours. It was previously moved from article space to draft space in November, but this was shortly reverted as it occurred during the deletion discussion. I intend to move this into draft space as some time has passed and the main editor has not made any recent contributions to the article. I'm raising this with you as a courtesy beforehand. Cheers.

I proposed a reasonable alternative to deletion WP:ATD, and the discussion was closed just a few hours later. That gave nobody else a chance to challenge or support the alternative. I feel that more time would have allowed others to critique it and I am optimistic that people would agree. I think it's unconventional for an unopposed redirect target to be denied like this. Therefore asking if you might reconsider closing it, and consider instead:

I'd like to discuss the close on this. Three keeps versus four deletes, with two of the deletes (and one of the keeps) being "weak", seems like no-consensus to me. The division was also on interpreting policy (i.e., whether the sources cited met the standard) rather than one side lacking basis in policy. FOARP ( talk) 11:00, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi Liz and Firefly! I reached out about this a few months ago and see that we addressed (or thought we had addressed) the issue at the time, but unfortunately it's happening again — I'm getting notices that drafts I've had sitting for a while have been G13'd, and I did not receive the 5-month expiring-soon warning. This isn't a big deal for me, since as an experienced editor I both know how to easily navigate the undeletion process and am committed enough to bother. But if I'm receiving these notices, it means that newcomers are too, and that's really not good. We actively want newcomers to complete and submit their drafts rather than abandoning them. If the first notice someone gets about their draft is one that it's been deleted requiring them to post to WP:REFUND and then wait for the restoration, that's a huge hurdle that will likely deter most of them from completing their work.
Given that the downside of hosting drafts is very minimal, I feel strongly that drafts should not be being deleted unless notice has been given. As this issue has recurred at least three times in recent memory, I'm considering proposing a change to G13 to formalize the notice requirement and would be interested in your preliminary thoughts on that. For the immediate term, could we get the notices working again and pause all G13s until editors have had at least a few days to see them? Best, {{u| Sdkb}} talk 18:24, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

Minimum deletion time: The previous WP:NPP guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification and WP:BLAR). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in the feed are now highlighted in red. (As always, this is not applicable to attack pages, copyvios, vandalism, etc.)
New draftify script: In response to feedback from AFC, the The Move to Draft script now provides a choice of set messages that also link the creator to a new, friendly
explanation page. The script also warns reviewers if the creator is probably still developing the article. The former script is no longer maintained. Please edit your edit your
common.js or vector.js file from User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js
to User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft.js
Redirects: Some of our redirect reviewers have reduced their activity and the backlog is up to 9,000+ (two months deep). If you are interested in this distinctly different task and need any help, see this guide, this checklist, and spend some time at WP:RFD.

The markup I've added is my best understanding of what to do for a former employer, but other editors are welcome to adjust as needed. Also, feel free to review/edit article text if that helps with resolving the 'connected contributor' tags, which hopefully won't serve as scarlet letters for eternity. Let me know if anything else is needed here. Thanks! --- Another Believer ( Talk) 19:59, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

❯❯❯ Raydann (Talk) 11:19, 6 January 2023 (UTC)Dear Liz, thank you for inspiring contributions to Wikipedia. Your passion for Wikipedia is palpable. I wrote a page, Akinlolu Jekins and it got deleted; i saw no notice, notification, etc like I had seen before, and I traced till I found Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Akinlolu Jekins Here are my requests:
1) Kindly restore the article as I'd like to improve it.
2) Two major comments contributed to the Delete/Keep, and reading both, I see no reason why the article was deleted. The delete comment admitted the individual attained notability, the links were credible, made some recommendations and the comment on Inherited Notability was to the favor of the article not the opposite and It is not a promotional article, as the write up itself shows.
The second comment hinged his response fully on the notability of Nigerian media houses, of which Guardian, Vanguard and Pulse were referenced. They are very notable and you can use your privileged opportunity on Wiki to check how many other articles have referenced from them. The article is rightful to be on Wikipedia. The consensus discussion couldn't be final. Please restore the page for improvements. There's no offline back up.
I saw a history of Akinlolu Jekins article which rightfully deserved to be deleted.
Kindly restore so I can improve the one I wrote.
Thank you. Pshegs ( talk) 14:20, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I hope you are doing well! I was just curious and thought you would have a good opinion on a stub I'm trying to sort out. I was considering writing a stub about a Colorado lawyer. I don't see a clear bar for notability in this case but I'm fairly sure he IS notable. This guy has saturated the airwaves in our state (for decades) and if you watch TV or in a big city as a Coloradan you'd know the person just by his ads. I don't totally know how to document it in a way that makes his notability clear. His name is Frank Azar and his cases, political contributions and various firm actions covered statewide along with a healthy dose of self published case crowing through that his firm puts our as PR. I started a stub in my sandbox, User:Unbroken Chain/sandbox. Overage like [ [20]] in the Denver Post doesn't seem like trivial coverage, nor does describing him as well known or political contribution coverage found here [ [21]]. What do you think? Unbroken Chain ( talk) 17:04, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
For when you have time: I have been lurking at AfD and making some comments and the occasional vote. I have a thought or question I would like to share with respect to the recent spate of AfDs about places in Arizona Indian country that may or may not be inhabited. I am somewhat familiar with the landscape there and can attest to the fact that several of those place are in fact extremely empty. However, what am I missing here? Surely "inhabited" is not the only criterion for notability? One of them is well-documented as an archaeological site, yet apparently this does not inherently make it notable? That's the question part. Here's the suggestion. I was just looking at an article about an extinct indigenous language in California that had been tagged for copy-edit. In doing so I looked to see whether there was an article about the ancestral homeland of that indigenous people, which is not itself extinct, just their language. (And whose name currently escapes me, sorry.) There wasn't, although there was an article about a nearby ranch. This made made me think about what's been going on with the Tohono O'odham settlements and wonder if there isn't a kind of subtle cultural appropriation being enabled there, no doubt with all good intent.
I am not suggesting that we should keep articles that are nothing more than geolocation, but it's also possible that some of these places have an importance that just isn't currently clear to us. Could we, do you think, have a rule that place names on indigenous land should be redirected to the governing jurisdiction, in these cases the reservation in question? Would that be a workable policy and does it seem like a good idea to you? If so, how would I go about getting the suggestion heard and incorporated into guidelines? I suppose it would have to be in an RfC? If so, I have never done one, and probably lack the AfD vocabulary. Do you have any suggestions? Please ping me if you reply here. Thank you, and in case anyone wonders, I have no affiliation with the Tohono O'odham or any other indigenous people, beyond a few anthropology classes in another lifetime and another place.

The issue with the creation of those "French gay actors" or "Canadian lesbian actresses" cross-categorizations wasn't really just about the "Nationality LGBT actors" categories themselves -- some of the latter, I'll grant, weren't large enough to necessarily need separate gay, lesbian, bisexual or trans subcategories, but the other half of their parentage ( Category:Gay actors, Category:Lesbian actresses, etc.) was getting too large (with hundreds or even thousands of articles per category) and did need to start being diffused into smaller subcategories. And although they were created by a blocked serial overcategorizer who gave CFD a few headaches last year, CFD did actually weigh in at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2021 November 21#Category:American gay actors with a keep. So I'd say that the categories definitely can't be emptied out without a full CFD discussion, and definitely need to have their prior contents restored to them in the meantime.
Furthermore, I don't think the new user's new scheme of separating Category:Gay film actors from Category:Gay television actors is any sort of improvement -- that's a far less defining distinction than by nationality, and isn't really a viable alternative. So those should almost certainly go to CFD -- but even if the case for by-nationality subcategories is debatable, there's a far stronger case for them than there is for divvying gay actors up by a film vs. television dichotomy.

Artist Jack Gunter would seem to clearly meet WP:GNG via multiple citations for his work over multiple decades in the Seattle Times, Skagit Valley Herald, etc. I would say that he also meets several clauses of WP:ARTIST. The now-deleted article had I believe 7+ citations showing notable coverage. Unclear why the deletion discussion had no other keep votes given the citations that meet GNG.

Hi I just wanted to know what happened to the Advancefd Bioncis page I noticed it was a redirect and then realized there was a lot of information removed so I restored it and began to edit it so I coudl link it to an article I want to create about the Salder case but now it's gone. It didn't look unnotable to me after all it had lots of sources but some articles here don't have any or just one. Should I not try to write about the Sadler case? Its coverage is mostly in legal journals, but it is cited precedent. Anyway, would it be OK if I write about Fewey's Pizza or Louis Graeter? And also how exactly do I start an article? I also think Salato Wildlife Center should have an article but I'm not sure because it is linked to in the box on the Newport Aquarium article but I haven't found many sources on it.

Liz, I saw Palpaldo in NPP and I was somewhat bemused that you didn't accept Onel5969's reasonable CSD tag based on creation by a banned user. Nearly every edit besides the creator has been by Minaro123 which has been, in effect, to take much of the content out (reasonably so). I think there is some misconception around the idea that the article has been "worked on"; rather, the edits made to reduce the article to barely more than a stub further the basis for its removal as it's the opposite of being developed (development being implied as the CSD#G5 clause "no substantial edits by others"). Girth didn't so much decline to CSD as to not propose it. Bungle ( talk • contribs) 21:36, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

Hey, I replied to your message on my talk page. You know, I have tagged more than 400 pages on Wikipedia so far for "speedy deletion," which were obviously deleted for violating the rules. It's not like I'm achieving something by tagging the user pages or doing it for fun. I'm only here to contribute to Wikipedia and make it a better place, like everyone else. I believe a little appreciation would have been far preferable to threatening me with the cessation of all deletion tagging. I had a great reason to tag that user page, which I explained on my talk page as well, but at the end, I just want you to know that after all this, I don't think I'll ever tag any user pages in the future.

This article is clearly not ready for main space as currently written (it has a general feeling of being incomplete and lacking information, with TBDs all over the place). I attempted to Draftify it, but got an error message saying that a draft already exists. The preexisting draft looks almost identical to the current mainspace article, so it appears that the page was previously draftified and then the author recreated it in mainspace without improving it. I have successfully G6'd such cases before, as we essentially have duplicate pages in different namespaces, and only one namespace is (currently) the proper location for the content.

Hi @ Liz, I am unsure whether to nominate the article Prithviraj Productions for deletion through the G5 or AFD process. The article was initially created by a sockpuppet and moved to mainspace with the help of another sockpuppet. However, it has been in existence for almost two years and has received additional contributions from other editors, including IPs. If no one else had edited the article, would it still qualify for G5? If G5 is not an appropriate option, I am considering taking it to AFD. Akevsharma ( talk) 12:16, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

Concerning your recent comment to me at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Don't Leave (Simba Tagz song) (3rd nomination), I find it to be cordial but disappointing. Since you inserted yourself into that long debate, here is more detail which I must conclude that you didn't notice, given the tone of your comment.
The first AfD received some "keep" votes that were not supported by policy or reliable sources, and were nicely debunked by other voters, but the Admin closed it as "No Consensus" with no acknowledgement of any consideration beyond counting votes. Per WP:NPASR, a "No Consensus" AfD can be renominated, and I did so with what I thought was a solid argument on how the Admin committed an error the first time. That second AfD ended with the same Admin closing it with a typo-filled rage dump that only ranted at me, ignored the rest of the voters, included a threat against me, and continued to ignore the deficiencies of the article and the votes in favor of keeping it. Allow me to cite WP:CIVIL and WP:INVOLVED.
Your comment in the third AfD shows why I never called for an investigation. Admins will circle the wagons. You critiqued my timing again, as if I hadn't already heard that from your colleague, and that minor tactical mishap is again being used as a diversion away from questionable Admin behavior. Please don't reply on how Admins have tough jobs, because you're volunteers just like me. For the third AfD I request an in-depth policy-based analysis of all votes by the closing Admin, who can then make a tough but fair choice. That already failed twice. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 16:07, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I hope you're well. You recently reverted edits on Niko Omilana, turning the page from an article into a redirect. I am of the opinion that the topic ticks off the items of the WP:GNG criteria and I have attempted to get a consensus (which I think I have) on the redirect's talk page. What steps do you advise I take to get the page published if this discussion doesn't satisfy consensus? - GA Melbourne ( talk) 05:06, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
Hi Liz, I've noticed you clean up a lot of deleted article references. One minor suggestion: when the link in question is on a disambiguation page, would it be possible to delete the entire entry for that article, rather than just delinking? A disambiguation page entry should have exactly one bluelink, so a zero-link entry is not desirable (nor useful, hence the rule).

Hello, Liz! Having in mind some exchanges of opinion that we had (relatively) recently, I thought that you might be interested in endorsing WP:NOCONFED and its content. Of course, this is just a suggestion, nothing more. Cheers! — Sundostund mppria ( talk / contribs) 19:37, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
Hi! Thanks for closing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of ASTM International standards (D4001–5000), though now I feel a bit silly for not properly tagging the other two articles for deletion (whoops)... That said, do I really have make yet another AFD discussion for them? They were all "subpages" of the former List of ASTM International standards article which was deleted previously, and there was a clear consensus then that it should be deleted. Or is there no way around this? Monster Iestyn ( talk) 19:49, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi there, I've pinged you on one of the AfDs but you probably didn't notice it. May I ask for your help with the numerous articles (List of [language] songs recorded by [singer]) put up for deletion at Category:AfD debates (Media and music). It so happens that there are now a few separate AfDs for each singer, and this makes the entire process almost impossible. So, for example, List of songs recorded by K. S. Chithra is up for deletion but separately, the following ones as well:

Hello Liz. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Adewale Adeyipo, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Hi Liz. Apologies for this templated message. This article would appear to me in no way a WP:A7 candidate.

Hi Liz,

WP:ORGNAME nevertheless. Edit: userpage was deleted again under U5.

Hi, Liz; I've been corresponding with this user regarding some questionable deletion proposals, and the user finished the discussion by moving their user talk page to User talk:3 and blanking it.

There was a big misunderstanding about my user sandbox page. It was marked as “blatant hoax” and the entire page was deleted earlier today. The wiki boxes I created are used for an ongoing alternate history thread I created for reddit. Here are a few examples:
https://www.reddit.com/r/AlternateHistory/comments/wbslbw/the_two_hong_kongs_in_2038_hong_kong_revolution/

These wiki boxes are made in my user sandbox not a public wiki page, therefore I had no intentions of spreading fake news to anyone. Alternate scenario wikiboxes were also never said to be banned from Wikipedia therefore I had the freedom to make them for personal use in my own wiki sandbox. They were no where near hoax, let alone “blatant”. Please fix your blatant mistake immediately. Lucaspig HK ( talk) 06:15, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi there. While checking for any new edits (since I have filed a dispute), I noted that you have shut down this article temporarily against editing. This is fine, as I would rather be able to restore my edits more easily once the dispute process and any other following activity ends. You mention edit-warring, which I did not believe my edits amounted to, as you can see from my posts on the article Talk page, where I got the impression that the reversing editors had no real argument for their reversals and therefore chose not to engage in discussion. I also read in my dispute page that Te of kaek (one of the reversing editors who only showed up after I filed the dispute) has accused me of certain untrue activity which he kept piling up and, I feel, in a manner not suitable for Wikipedia pages. As I wrote in my reply to Te og kaek, I have only used this IP and my cell phone, no other IP or any account (I never had a Wikipedia account). When the first reversing editor (2 minutes response time) added an Armenian genocide to a Greek genocide to confound the issue, I felt that I had a right to apply my edit to both that time. Another reversal with similar arbitrary reasoning led me to investigate Wikipedia rules more closely, and I realized that the editor TimothyBlue was violating at least two Wikipedia guidelines: 1) The caption of a photo should contain only the description of the photo, and 2) Wikipedia allows no interpretations (thus, even if the caption allowed it, TimothyBlue's interpretation of the photo being a part of an alleged genocide (or two) was a violation of Wikipedia guidelines). However, now wishing to make a stronger case and to clean up the genocide allegations and propaganda (is it not obvious to you from how the sense of the article has been shifted?) to some degree, I made a bigger edit, including two references from Americans, from not two-three years ago but from a century ago, and a literal translation of a quote to remove what I felt was an intentional misrepresentation. This edit was also reversed before 24 hours passed, and with the following remark: "pov edits with weak primary sources and original research", which, in my opinion, was the reverser's contrived POV, regarding a book by a US officer and war correspondent and a 1923 US newspaper interview with a Near East Relief worker who was in Smyrna at the time of the fire. I suppose "original research" attribution was to the quote I put from Powell's book and my adding those as sources that opposed views Te og kaek espoused or wanted to protect. I had to undo Te og kaek's reversal by pointing out the fallacy of the related edit summary, also being justified as Te og kaek also added two more references, but removed mine. Every step of the way, I added a new paragraph to the article Talk page to indicate my reasoning, but no response was forthcoming. After a final reversal of my edit, I decided to file a dispute. So there we are. I believe that the editors who kept reversing my edits with weak reasons and no explanations were the ones edit-warring using the convenience of Wikipedia "undo" and as to why theirs should be the edit standing, well, we will see about that after the dispute process and any following management activity. Thank you for bearing with me through this somewhat lengthy discourse, but I wish for no misunderstanding. As I have no account, I can check for your reply here in a day or two. 70.164.212.36 ( talk) 23:54, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

I have not been editing Wikipedia regularly and missed the deadline to discuss the second deletion request for Haris Haroon. I would like to request that the discussion be reopened.
The reasons for the second deletion are exactly the same as those given for the article’s first deletion, but I do not believe these objections are valid and I believed that these issues had been resolved when the article was restored.

Hi Liz, currently a user is unilaterally redirecting articles I have written on 18th & 19th century vessels. (The Woodman (1804 ship) was an example of this. Another user reverted the redirect and then it went to AfD, where you decided on a merge, which I executed.) I believe that the deletionist editor is doing this to avoid the AfD process, which can take a while and where the outcome is uncertain. AfDs are more visible and lead to other editors trying to improve the article. I would like to revert all the redirects but am concerned about retaliation. The editor in question has just proposed for deletion a ship index page where another editor moved articles the deletionist editor had redirected. Thoughts? Thanks for considering this. Acad Ronin ( talk) 12:47, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
deletionist editorsor in any other way that might have negative connotations.

Hi Liz, can you please restore Glossary of French criminal law/Compact ToC? This is not a duplicate of an existing template, it is the specific configuration designed for indexing only the article Glossary of French criminal law, and which appears at each letter division. It does not generate the same output as {{ Compact Toc}} does, and wouldn't work under the current letter distribution at that article. What happens if you use {{ Compact Toc}} instead, is that you have to duplicate the params identically 26 times (or however many), and it slowly gets out of sync, going through ToC rot" as the article ages. In addition, changes to the Toc have to be repeated 26 times every time you make a change. This avoids that. As the article stands now, I no longer have the convenience of the index within easy reach, and have to go to the top. Thanks, Mathglot ( talk) 08:12, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello @ Liz! While I agree with the comments about the page on actress Lara Heller, that it is written in a promotional way, I want to tell you the reason why I have decided to write about her. The first reason was to link an English-language page to the English page of the European School of Luxembourg where she (and I) studied; see the wiki page: /info/en/?search=European_School,_Luxembourg_I (footnote 12). Though the page I wrote did not mention it (yet) the sources tell a bit of the story behind her growing up in a tiny country where she did not have much enternainment, but embraced ice skating to satisfy her desire to entertain people, and even represented Germany and Luxembourg in professional ice skating (again, I agree that the sources might not be very reliable, but in a video interview on vimeo she says how she embraces cultural understanding to build character. Again, this is purely related to her growing up in a multicultural, and multinational country, and especially having been at the European School of Luxembourg, in an educational system that promotes diversity (also notice the mention about religion in the school page - her being half Persian, she studied Ethics instead of Catholicism - often the students who studied Ethics, were very good at arts)
The second reason I wrote about her, was because there is already a German version of the page. It is 95% a translation of that page. I would not have thought that despite all the info about her, that only the English page would be considered ’’non-significant’’. I agree that her roles were not big so far, but she played in a diverse set of films from directors of all backgrounds, and that’s what makes her exceptional (again, in accordance to her origins, and how she grew-up) — Preceding unsigned comment added by GoodSimon ( talk • contribs) 13:01, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi, you'd assume that having a special CSD template reserved solely for this purpose would be enough, but I suppose not... well, Template:Db-afc-move states that it is only placed by draft reviewers. Obviously while it was previously declined, it was about to be accepted by me, and was not just put there randomly.
Unfortunately an IP editor then did a copy paste move to that page but I would still request it be speedy deleted so I can accept the draft properly instead. Otherwise there is zero attribution. Thank you. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ) 19:59, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi Liz, thanks for taking a moment out of your busy schedule. You recently deleted pages for Strawberryfrog and the CEO, Scott Goodson. While I agree there was needed improvement on the pages, I believe this agency, along with the CEO are important contributors to the advertising and marketing industry, specifically related their impact on movement marketing, cultural movements and also brand purpose. I believe both pages are very important specifically with regard to their impact on today’s social environment and how social and cultural movements impact brands and purchase behaviors. Additionally, I believe Scott Goodson does meet the criteria for notoriety on the subject matter as he has and continues to be recognized throughout the marketing and advertising industry trades as a subject leader and has won multiple awards in the category.
If the previous pages were not suitable based on Wikipedia guidelines, I’d like to request that I am allowed to recreate them from scratch closely following Wikipedia protocols in order to properly connect the dots and communicate a clear story on the subject matters at hand.
My personal stake in this is that I am a marketing professional and a huge advocate on how social movements are an essential part of how businesses and organizations should be doing business in this day and age for the benefit of society along with their employees; which can also benefit their own business interests at the same time. Thank you so much for your consideration.
Please let me know how to proceed.

Per the deletion long, it was an uncontested PROD from 2013, and I requested that it be REFUNDed in 2022 so I could work on improving it. At this point, I haven't done much work on it, and probably won't, so shouldn't it just be deleted again? Thanks. BilCat ( talk) 19:38, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
Hello Liz. It’s been 4 days since our last discussion on the page that was tagged for speedy deletion. I tried looking for it in drafts and could not find it. Can you please restore it, if not done so yet, and let me know where I can find it so I can start working on it? Thanks!

Hi Liz, hope you are doing well. I have a question that touches both on COI editing and copyright - the page for Isabel Waidner recently got a new photo from a very new editor (Angsthase1) who replaced the previous photo from a public event attended by Josie Fraser with a selfie of the author. I reached out on their talk page to confirm that this wasn't a copyright violation and got a respond from an IP that this user is Isabel Waidner themself and this selfie is the photo they want used, the previous photo was taken and uploaded without their consent (not sure how this plays out at a public event but okay), etc. I don't have any proof that this editor is Isabel Waidner beyond the claim of the IP editor and was thinking of reaching out to them via their publicly available email address. Do you have a suggestion for the language I might use about explaining the potential COI issue, the language they might consider adding to their user page about COI, what to put on the Wikimedia page for the image itself, etc.? I'm a big fan of this author's work and want to make this a positive experience for them but at the same time I know we have these bylaws for a reason.
If there is another editor who might be better to ask, please let me know! Thanks, as always, for any help. Best, Kazamzam ( talk) 16:58, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
Hi Liz!
I am new to Wiki editing so please excuse my confusion on how the repost/undeleting of a deleted page works. After reading several Wiki how articles on this process, I read to contact the admin who closed the article which I believe was you? If you could help me out with this that would be so appreciated!
Anyways, recently the Wiki article about Sean Bielat was deleted on a consensus by other users that he is not notable enough to comply with Wiki's notability rules. However after reading Wiki's notability rules, it states as follows:
"People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." (Wiki 2022)
I can provide several secondary sources that covered Sean Bielat's Campaign against Barney Frank in 2010 as well as multiple sources of his business endeavors and accomplishments with the company IRobot, Endeavor Robotics, as well as his involvement in several other businesses or startups. I will link just a few, please let me know if you need to see more evidence of Sean Bielat's significant contributions and notability in society. Thanks so much!

Hi there, as I've recently found out, you've deleted the above mentioned article, whose author I am, on February 12. As I didn't expect this would eventually happen (whether somebody or something is "notable" or not, at final step always depends on somebody's subjective judgement, and often I find WP articles not being perfect nevertheless left as "stubs" for further improvement): are these deleted articles (at least temporarily) stored somewhere in order to give their authors/creators an opportunity to retrieve the deleted last version for further private use? As I, and others assumably too, may have put a lot of effort to compose these articles, sometimes even improved/corrected by others before deletion, it would be nice to have this "last chance".

Hi Liz, just dropping a line about the many empty continent-by-descent categories at Wikipedia:Database reports/Empty categories. At first I thought they might have been correctly emptied by the deletion of various former sub-cats per Jc37's close at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2022 December 19#American people of European descent by occupation, but no, they are not occupational intersections. From User_talk:Oli2000s it looks as if they are just newbie mistakes. They can go. – Fayenatic London 23:57, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
Hi Liz. While looking at the history of Complete blood count, an article I have done a lot of work on, I noticed that you closed WP:Articles for deletion/External quality assessment as "soft delete". I'd like to contest this soft deletion. The article may have been in poor shape, but this is a very notable topic - see for example this publication from the WHO. At worst, it could be merged into another page such as Laboratory quality control. I'd like to request that the article be restored. Thanks, Spicy ( talk) 09:34, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
Hello Liz, I was wondering whether you would advise me to open another RfC for podcast episode lists. I'm asking you because you are an admin, you closed the AfD for Off Menu which led to the first RfC, and because recent deletions have led to more opposition than I expected. While some recent deletions have gone relatively unopposed such as ID10T, The Bugle, and so far Dr. Floyd. Others have been met with quite a bit of opposition with new reasons for keeping these lists. For instance, Employee of the Month and Comdey Bang! Bang! have led to what appears to be consensus's to keep (granted they are not closed yet). The !voters have cited guidelines that were not brought up in the previous RfC. Such as WP:OKFORK, WP:LENGTH, WP:SIZERULE, WP:ATD, WP:IAR, and the claim that these lists are not independent subjects of their respective podcasts thus WP:NLIST does not apply. I've also done quite a few PRODs and BLARs that have been met with mixed reception from other editors. I assume you are aware of these developments considering you've closed or relisted many of the discussions and also deprodded the two lists of Judge John Hodgman episodes. So my two questions are: would you recommend another RfC? And do you think it would be canvassing or excessive to indiscriminately ping everyone who has participated in the recent deletion discussions (and perhaps also the prods and blars)? Considering the extreme lack of participation in the previous RfC I would be afraid of opening another RfC without any participation, but I also don't want to skew the discussion one way or the other based on who I ping.

Hello, Liz. Is it really worth posting literally hundreds of speedy deletion notifications to User talk:Oli2000s? 🤔 It is likely to make it horrendously difficult for either Oli2000s or anyone else to find other messages buried in the editing history, 😟 and is unlikely to serve any useful purpose. Maybe just leaving a brief message saying something to the effect "... and the same is likely to apply to the other pointless categories you created." JBW ( talk) 09:09, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for your message. I get a bit paranoid sometimes, and I think all I need is to calm down a bit before acting, and wait and think. I've rv'd another PROD I made that might be a bit bitey, and have kept your comments in mind. Hopefully I can think more sensibly in future. Silikonz (alt) 💬 17:25, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
Hi @ Liz! I have an NPP-related issue with Alina Kovalenko and thought you might be able to help. I was the original NPP of the page and did not think it met WP:BLP. However, I thought that some claims of significance meant the author should be given time to work on it and so I draftified it. The author then moved the draft back into mainspace and, somehow, it is now showing up as an article I had created and, as such, disables my review window.
Am I missing something obvious here? In my limited, though hopefully thorough, track record as NPP, I don't believe I have encountered anything similar. I think it should be sent as AfD, but I am not quite sure how to proceed as I would be notifying my own self about deletion, while I can't really claim it as my own for CSD. I hope this won't turn out to be something embarrassingly obvious, though if it does, I apologize in advance. Kindly advise and thank you very much for your help.

Hello @ Liz! I think the article was prematurely deleted before the discussion came to a real conclusion. In my opinion, the arguments added last have not been conclusively discussed or considered. For example WP:CREATIVE#3: That a new concept is presented by the inventor of this very concept in self-written articles is common practice. But it is crucial that it is published by an independent publisher - which is exactly the case here ... It would be nice if the article could be restored for the time being in order to get some more opinions. There are also some additions I could make to the article. Thanks and best wishes!

However, I found that you deleted Template_talk:Editnotices/page/Template:Wikia/list by criteria G7 while kept its subject page. I'm not sure if there's any misunderstanding.

I see where this article has been deleted due to "presumptive" copyright violations—or some such—I could not find any discussion of this particular article describing whether actual copyright violations were found, or whether it was possible to remedy them. This article was badly titled—and perhaps a candidate for merging into Valerius Maximus, but I don't recall, since I didn't review it regularly. But it was linked in the bibliography section of hundreds of articles under WikiProject Classical Greece and Rome's purview, and as far as I know the entire project was unaware that the article was likely to be deleted.
It could of course be re-created without copyright violations—but without even being able to see what it contained before, it's difficult to identify the issues and the entire process would have to start from scratch, which is much harder than fixing an extant but problematic article. And it'll be a nightmare to re-link it to all the entries from which links were removed—I just know that my watchlist is suddenly buried under an avalanche of notices that the link was removed. I have no idea what sources were used for the article now, and no way to check.
I would have supposed that it probably drew from the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica, and possibly the Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, or similar sources long out of copyright (which nonetheless should be cited for passages taken directly from them—I have never had any problem with this). But it's frustrating that key articles from WikiProject CGR have been deleted without notice to the project, or the opportunity for project members to review the contents and fix the copyright violations, and as far as I can tell without even a record of what specific issues there were.
Do we really need to start from scratch without any idea what the article used to say? Fixing an article to remove copyright violations I can do in a few hours, maybe less. If I have to start it from scratch, then the subject just might go without an article indefinitely, as that could take a lot more time to do correctly—and then the work of relinking it to hundreds of articles... bleh is not too strong a word!

Supposedly, it has been published, and so is a copyvio...", but let's just cut the rope here: as with most deleted articles that had been around for a while, you can find this on Archive.org. I think I can trust you not to copy over any text from old versions or closely phrase what you are writing to it-- this was deleted as part of a CCI, and the editor tended to copy from difficult to access/offline sources. You made four edits to the article in 2019, which were just copyedits and wikilinks. Moneytrees🏝️ (Talk) 16:19, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi Liz, I have a question/idea and thought I'd reach out since you close a lot of geography AfDs. When AfD closers go through and remove redlinks for deleted geo articles, they often leave the unlinked names in lists even when the location completely fails verification. I recently went through the Arizona populated place lists starting with List of places in Arizona (A) and deleted probably half of the entries as unsourced and unverified. Many were very clearly natural features that were mislabeled as "populated places" in GNIS. I added hidden text requesting that these be deleted, not just unlinked, but I don't think admins are noticing it. Should admins be removing these entries entirely and if so, what's the best way to get the word out? Thanks in advance for your help. – dlthewave ☎ 00:03, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

I see you have closed some drive-by Afds of this kind, accepting the argument that "ambassadors are not inherently notable" and that coverage is "routine". The WP:GNG is of course nothing to do with importance, so in theory an ambassador could prove to be non-notable, but thanks to the coverage they get in their international role it would be pretty hard for one to achieve such obscurity; and what may be "routine coverage" for an ambassador is clearly at a higher level than for other less notable roles. My rule of thumb would be to say that on the balance of probability almost all British ambassadors will be found to be notable, thanks to coverage they receive in reliable national news media and in reference works. So I would suggest that in each such case the editor closing the Afd ought to look closely at whether significant coverage is already linked on the page or is easily available, however many people are agreeing with the nominator in a few words without looking at the sources.
