![]() Articles for creation is desperately short of reviewers! We are looking for urgent help, from experienced editors, in reviewing submissions in the pending submissions queue. Currently there are 3188 submissions waiting to be reviewed and many help requests at our help desk.
If the answer to these questions is yes, then please read the
reviewing instructions and donate a little of your time to helping tackle the backlog. You might wish to add {{
AFC status}} or {{
AfC Defcon}} to your userpage, which will alert you to the number of open submissions.
Plus, reviewing is easy when you use our new semi-automated
reviewing script!

A tag has been placed on Wimborne Minster Folk Festival, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to a nonexistent page, or a redirect loop.
If you can fix this redirect to point to an existing Wikipedia page, please do so and remove the speedy deletion tag. However, please do not remove the speedy deletion tag unless you also fix the redirect. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. - Camyoung54 talk 15:48, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Unsourced BLPs submitted to AfC should be declined as unsourced, not as BLP violations, unless what is asserted in the article is derogatory or controversial. Declining them as BLP violations lists them for speedy deletion, but we do not speedy delete BLPs unless they meet the general provisions at WP:CSD -- normally, vandalism or promotion or attack pages. Even in mainspace we do not speedy delete unsourced BLPs for just being unsourced -- we delete them by BLP PROD if nobody sources them. I therefore removed the speedy deletion tag placed at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Michael Carney and for Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Mihai Grunfeld
This is not your fault, actually: the instructions and wordings of the tags are unclear, confusing, and even to some degree contradictory, but the deletion of AfCs are governed by our actual policy, WP:Deletion policy
Now, as a matter of fact, Grunfield might or might not be notable under WP:Author or WP:Academic, but it would depend on the details of the importance of his work. Probably not, because the Vassar Web site shows he is only an Associate Professor, and his autobiographical novel is essentially self-published. I will review it accordingly.

Hey there- I saw your recent change (and undo) on Ann Rivers concerning the image used in the article. I would just ask that you clarify that your edits are justified before doing anything to the image or article. I had explained on the image's page why it was not under copyright. I am planning on adding images from the same source to as many WA State Senators and Representatives as I have time for. Thank you for keeping the state senators' pages on your mind.
