Request of restoration of draft:Engr Babalola Olatunji
Latest comment: 3 years ago4 comments2 people in discussion
Hello please i am contacting you in regard of two things, first my userpage Tommygogd that was brought down and my first draft article Draft:Engr Babalola Olatunji this article was done neutrally , and i have been told to do declare a conflict of interest on my user page which i did, i do not understand why the article was brought down and also my page, this is my first article ever and i am doing this on a neutral point , is it possible for a person who does not have any contribution or whatsover to be paid for creating article, please i am pleading kindly restore the page so i can add more citation or for other contributor to be able to contribute to it , i am already getting discouraged because this is my first contribution and i have put so much effort in it than to be deleted, even if i am not given the priviledge to edit it , at least other contributor can for the sake of my effort.Tommygogd (talk). and if not please kindly restore to my userspace so i can continue to use it to pratice. but I wish you know this can make some of us trying to put effort in Wikipedia sad.
@Tommygogd: I restored the draft Draft:Babalola Olatunji because I failed to notice that it had previously been deleted by Anthony Bradbury as advertising. I see that you have asked Anthony Bradbury for restore. So that is the appropriate procedure. If you rewrite, to improve the tone - do not include text like: "a popular news post", "furthered his career". Also leave off the training courses attended, as that is for a curriculum vitae. Also biographical details such as family should be properly referenced, otherwise it suggests that you know the person and my be outing previously unpublished information. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:39, 5 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Graeme Bartlett: Thanks a lot, you are the most intelligent ones out of all the people that has been denying my post all this while , your explanation and guidline now makes me know all the mistake i made in the article , i cant thank you enought for this insight , because i still wondered what i did wrong in the article , thanks a lot Graeme Bartlett God bless you for this little kinded Tips you gave me , please kindly help me request that Anthony Bradbury restore the draft if you can because he has not responded to me please i will be so glad. i will also do all this information you gave me now and clean up the article better with this guideline Tommygogd (talk) Tommygogd (talk) 22:40, 6 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Graeme Bartlett: hi , i have messaged Anthony Bradbury but he has not replied or even do anything on my comment on his talk page , and according to the wikipedia rules i guess any one of the admin can undo whatever other admin do if you see reason to, please kindly help in restoring my user page and this article if you can please, i dont want to start the article from scratch again after so much work i had put into this, i just want to take my time and edit the article properly till i get it right , then i can now be contributing more to wikipedia on my own without stress , if i have to start all over again i might still make mistake but my previous version will allow me to make corrections and see where my mistakes are because of next time, i am using this to learn and to contribute to wikipedia. thanks , i will be very glad if you can do something about it Tommygogd (talk) 20:36, 8 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
I would not normally reverse the actions of another administrator outside the policy reasons. I might do so if the action was obviously a mistake. WP:DRV is for the situation you have, where the administrator does not respond. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:27, 8 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Any hope of restoring the wonderful work you were doing on https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft_talk:Lillee_Jean_Trueman&action=edit&redlink=1 - she has alot of news worthy articles on her advocacy for cyberbullying (something she is invested in, being a victim herself), as well as environmental issues, and advocacy against anti-semitism? I know someone asked for her page to be created under her stage name Lillee Jean, but I remembered that you had an amazing draft you were working on.
Done – as a draft or Articles for creation submission deleted under CSD G13, the page has been restored upon request.

Blink is the Professor's nephew. He loves to be underground, citing "fresh-air-a-phobia" as his reason, along with being a mole. He is a friendly character who helps Spyro defeat Red the Dragon. Blink is sometimes called "Blinky". Blink is strong and he can do punches and butt bounces. Blink has strong lasers that can defeat most enemies. If the enemies are strong, he can just simply bomb them or zap them with a laser. Blink also has first person targeting goggles, which can detect enemies and can zoom in up to five times than normal (which helps with aiming lasers as well). Blink might say things like "Can I explore below ground?" or "You know I love it down there."

Hi. I hope you are doing well. I was going through my old edits, and realised I had posted quite a few messages to your talkpage. When I read(ed) them again in your archives, it seems that I was kind of rude, and mean to you. I dont remember the reason behind it though. I want to apologise for that. I am truly, very sorry for my behaviour in the past. I hope I didnt mean it back then. I also hope you forgive me. Regards, —usernamekiran (talk)21:14, 19 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Wojciech Karlowski
Latest comment: 3 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion
Back in March you edited the article on Wojciech Karlowski, rewording a sentence that you considered puffery. It was indeed puffery, and it's not the only example in the article. On checking the history I saw that the article was created by Msciszewianka, and she has made a very high proportion of the edits. According to her user page her married name is Dorota Karlowska, a name that strongly suggests who she is married to, without proving it, of course. In the past I've seen tags on articles suggesting the creator is too closely associated with the subject, but I can't find an example now, and I don't know how to put such a tag. Do you have any advice? Incidentally, although Professor Karlowski is not totally insignificant, I'm surprised that he was considered notable enough to have his own article.

Hi!
Yes, I am a native Russian speaker. I am not a professional chemisist but respect the subject starting from my classes in the school. As for my recent articles, yes, I have translated many of them from the Russian wiki and added some other info that I managed to find. I do believe that these articles need some professional review, so I am thankful that you are around to fix the mess that I my leave unchecked.
I would also like to add visuals, but I don't know whom to ask for help.

Digital Journal wikpedia page restored and deleted?
Latest comment: 3 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion
Could you kindly assist in restoring? There is no reason it should be deleted.
Not done – this Requests for Undeletion process is only for articles that were deleted uncontroversially, and does not apply to articles deleted after a deletion discussion. Since the article you are here about was deleted after a discussion took place at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Digital Journal (2nd nomination), it cannot be undeleted through this process. However, if you believe that the outcome of the discussion did not reflect the consensus of the participants, or that significant new information has come to light since the article was deleted, you may contact the administrator who closed the discussion, Premeditated Chaos (talk·contribs). After you do so, if your concerns are not addressed and you still seek undeletion, a request may be made at deletion review. @Chrishogg18: there was a second debate.

Rare Candy is an item found in Pokémon games that is rare (as its name suggests). When used on a Pokémon, the Pokémon will gain experience and go to the next level. Rare Candies are usually found in hidden places, and because they are hard to find they are often used in the Missingno. item duplication trick for the Red and Blue versions (when a player encounters Missingno. or 'M, his or her 6th item will be duplicated). They are also often used in the Pokémon/Item Cloning Trick|Item Cloning Trick for the Gold and Silver versions ([1]). The Master Ball (the rarest item in the Pokémon series) is also often used for these tricks due to its rarity.

Hello. I notice that you are the main author of 3 articles on atomic spectroscopy: sharp series, diffuse series and fundamental series, which gave their names to s, d and f orbitals respectively. However there seems to be no article at all on principal series, which gave its name to p orbitals. Do you know if there is any particular reason for the absence of an article on principal series, or is it just that no one happened to get around to writing one? Dirac66 (talk) 16:22, 31 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Dirac66: The reason that I did not write it was that principal series was already existing to a redirect to an unrelated topic. I did not want to just add a useless stub. I thought about writing using the title Principal series (spectroscopy) and added it to my to-do list User:Graeme Bartlett/to do under Spectra topics. You can see the list of things I planned to write on and in the history what I actually did. But I have not done much of that list as I started on geology and now chemistry writings.

Hi Graeme,
I'm Rachel the only female electrical engineer born and raised in Knoydart in Scotland. It's an isolated peninsula, which is not connected to UK's main grid. I saw this battery technology being prototype tested in Knoydart in 2014 an to be honest I have an emotional bond with this battery type as it supported and isolated island community such as ours, which was suffering from fuel poverty. I created this article after conducting lot of literature research and getting in touch with the original inventors. I would be very grateful to you if you can give me some tips to further improve this. You had commented indicating the the article reads like an advertisement. I would highly appreciate if you can indicate which parts you are concerned about, so I can improve it. I started this as a little project, so I can help wikipedia as a reviewer in the future. So this is great experience for me. I have added a problems and criticism section, which I plan to populate in next couple of weeks.
Many Thanks and Thankyou very much in advance.

@Rachel.stop.extinction: I assume you are talking about Alkali sulfur liquid battery. Some things to think about: this is an encyclopedia, so put in there what our readers want to know. For example I want to know what substances are used in the electrodes and chemicals and their reactions. I want to know how it can respond within 1 ms to power line changes. How can it be scalable in power? How is it compare to vanadium flow batteries? Some inappropriate text is the bit on what it is "not using". Instead say what it is using. There is a theoretical energy density, but give the actual density for this implementation. "crucial to fight the present climate crisis" is puffery on at least two fronts. Most of the "Invention, awards and inventor" section is promotional in tone. It would be excessive to have that big quote from Society for the Environment, but what is actually factual in that quote should be described in the article. There is quite a lot of "according to" and x "reports". You don't need to mention that unless the statement is controversial, or is opinion. Otherwise just leave it to the reference to identify where the information came from. Also the "Edinburgh energy firm powers up with EDF in Perth innovation challenge" does not mention most of what is in the text it references. (incl 100 million tons).

@Graeme Bartlett: Hi Graeme, thanks again for your guidance to improve this page. I have done a research over a month and have improved the page, addressing all the points you have highlighted above. I have collected, verified and validated a range of technical information about the battery, which the inventors agreed to share with me for sharing publicly. I have removed company names and quotes from other websites. In addition I have removed everything I could think of which were promotional in tone. Would highly appreciate if could do a review and give me some feedback. No hurry and please do when you get a chance ...Many Thanks in advance .

@SalihaRosio: What appears to be deleted was links to Wikipedia, Wiktionary, and online dictionary, and another online encyclopedia. Since these links are just giving more info on the words you attached them to, they are not really references on The Holy Kingdom of Judah. Instead you should link to the Wikipedia page with [[ ]].

Hi Graeme. I'm not quite sure what's going on at File:DingiriBandaWijetunga 1.jpg. This edit overwrote the previously uploaded non-free file with a completely different file and this edit removed the copyright license all together. It might be that the editor-in-question thinks that photos found on an official Sri Lankan government webiste are PD or otherwise freely licensed, but that's not what the source website says. Is a split needed here or can the file just be tagged with {{furd}} to get rid of the replaced version? -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:43, 11 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
Fair enough and thanks for taking a look. I'll tagged the overwritten file with {{furd}}. Just for reference, there is now also File:DBW-S.jpg which is missing a rationale and is orphaned.

GHS phrases by module now
Latest comment: 2 years ago5 comments2 people in discussion
I have introduced Module:GHS phrases at the backside of {{H-phrases}} and {{P-phrases}}. There should be no change wrt previous usage & behaviour: same result in the 2600 articles. Also, some new options are introduced, such as:
@DePiep: THanks for the heads up. For that Potassium_ferrioxalate I tried 501c, but it did not work - perhaps 501c is a propriety code. But there seems to be no way to add the extra text as I thought you mentioned. 501=text doesnot work as I hoped. the idea is the extra text only appears when you hover. I also included your omit rules in the javascript translator (User:Graeme Bartlett/monobook.js P-phrasefmt and H-phrasefmt) I use to make the template content from more freeform input. I am responsible for some of the duplicates, but I decided I should look at what I put in there, rather than try to automate a deduplicate. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 07:14, 25 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
- Per the GHS setup, the codes are governed by the UN, so we can not add our own text nor propriety text. Full 2021 source is
This is also where the Omit Rules are from (i.e., they are formal too).
- |P264=text is not implemented yet, but anyway does not allow free text. It will only allow for substitute text like
|P264=hands into P264: "Wash ... thoroughly after handling."
- Doing duplicates is no death penalty. We have computers to resolve these. Don't worry. And: let the (future) deduplicate do the job, don't spend time on this.
My .js lets me paste text from other reference lists, and it converts it to the | separated list for the templates to use. It strips out the H and P, but it appears that that is no longer needed. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 07:43, 25 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
Fair enough. Thanks for clarifying. One possible issue though is that the older versions will eventually be deleted per WP:F5 which is almost always not an issue because the versions are essentially the same. In this case, though, the "old file" has been essentially removed and made orphaned by being replaced by a "new different file" which means most likely the original uploader isn't going to end up notified by {{Di-orphaned fair use-notice}} since bots don't tend to issue notifications for {{Orphaned non-free revisions}}. It appears from the file page's history that there might've been some other attempts at overwriting that have been reverted; so, perhaps that will happen this time around as well. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:23, 3 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

I thought it was a very bad idea to recreate these templates while the delete of the other Rx templates is still in progress. By having those redirect, it causes the history of many pages to show the speeddy delete notice. It would be much much better to just show a red link. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:37, 18 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
That might be a valid argument at RfD, but it doesn't make the G4 deletion any more acceptable, because redirects to speedy deletion templates and r-phrase templates have nothing in common. My reasoning for recreating them was that most speedy deletion templates have a redirect from their two-letter code when there's nothing else competing for that name. * Pppery *it has begun...21:12, 18 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

CSD deletion rationale for drafts
Latest comment: 2 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion
Hello, Graeme,
I've started to look over expiring drafts and deleting ones that appear to be an attempt at creating a social media profile like you'd see on Facebook. They aren't article drafts in any way shape or form, but they also aren't really "advertising". They appear to be the result of a very new editor not knowing what an encyclopedia is or what it is for.
The article title is always their name and they have information like their parent's names, their high school and what they want to do after their schooling. So, they have autobiographical information like you would have on a Linked In or Facebook profile but they are often the editor's only edit on Wikipedia. So, somewhere they got the idea that they should create a personal Wikipedia page. I've marked them both as "test edits" and "promotional". If there is even a hint of an actual draft of an article, I leave it to be deleted via G13. I sincerely doubt that any of these editors will return and make a request at WP:REFUND for the return of their draft but I wanted to mention doing this to the admins who regular patrol REFUND in case you come across this combination of deletion rationales. I wish we had a CSD rationale of "attempt at a social media profile page" but we don't so this is my temporary solution. If you have strong objections to this approach, let me know. They just don't seem like pages that should be restored as regular G13s because they aren't article drafts that will ever be moved to main space.
Well this sounds also like too much information disclosure from a minor. If I notice an article on someone under 18, I will decline to restore, especially if it's an autobiography. I will treat such a G2 G11 deletion as final. Maybe even needs an oversight. Happy Christmas to you too @Liz:. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 04:47, 22 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

This is a minor issue, but you have made a number of recent edits with the edit summary "clean stripmarker error", such as this one. I don't understand what this means for editors. Should Template:CO2 not be used? Has it been or is it about to be deprecated? Or should it just not be used in some specific circumstances? Does the same apply to other companion templates, such as Template:CH4? — Epipelagic (talk) 00:15, 31 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Epipelagic: These templates are currently incompatible with cite templates and are causing that stripmarker error in the references section. I have proposed that the CO2 template should not use CHEM2 template, as that is what is causing the "templatestyles stripmarker in" error. But the same issue is in all those templates like H2O H3O CH4. The discussion that triggers these edits is at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Chemistry#Help needed, so please join in. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 00:34, 31 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for that. I'm aware these templates don't work in cite templates, but many of the reversals you made didn't involve cite templates. — Epipelagic (talk) 02:09, 31 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
Yes, I use a regular expression matcher that changes all of them. {{CO2}} to CO<sub>2</sub>. I really dislike chem2 (and chem1) because of many problems, so at any convenient opportunity I will change them to use sub mark up. If CO2 template changes to not use chem2 template, then this change will not be needed. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 02:31, 31 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/National Catholic Church of America until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

On 5 January 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Loess Plateau, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that one of the largest and thickest loess plateaus in the world is the Loess Plateau(pictured) in China? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Loess Plateau. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Loess Plateau), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
hmm, my guess would be probably not? Just off memory, I think it got that number over a 24-hour span instead of a half-day hook, so it only counts for half the number of views per hour (the threshold is 416+2⁄3). theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 09:30, 6 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Ironic to see this message to the user talk page of the admin who is responsible for many draft restorations. Ah, Twinkle could use some AI component so it knows who it is posting notices to. LizRead!Talk!00:04, 24 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi,
I guess now the table looks pretty much overloaded with text.
I know that lactic group is sometimes abbreviated as La. (CoLa, MnLa2, etc.)
Maybe using it will make the table more comfortable for readers?
Well La means lanthanum, so that would be confusing, but I agree there is a lot of text. Perhaps it can just list elements, with oxidation state if important - eg Fe(II). Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:58, 26 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Few more undeletion requests
Latest comment: 2 years ago9 comments2 people in discussion
There's so much content on Wikipedia, and some old articles understandably slip my radar. Requesting the undeletion:
Naval Piranha has three attacks, the first of which is a ramming attack. In the second attack, Naval shoots Nipper spores out of his mouth which become Nippers if they touch the ground to make Yoshi's fight more difficult. For Naval's last attack, he sends his vines to attack Yoshi.
A very easy way to beat him is to have an egg, carefully aim at the piranha plant (which becomes Naval Pirahna), and destroy it. Kamek will appear, scream "OH MY!!!!!!!!!!!" and run away. You then get the key.
Naval Piranha also appears in the video game Tetris Attack, as the second of four bosses. He appeared as a villain along with Hookbill the Koopa, while Raphael Raven had turned good.
Naval Piranha is not to be confused with the Lava Piranha boss from Paper Mario, despite the two looking almost identical.
They are the kind of koopa that have two electric spikes on their back. They come in different varieties: blue and red. The blue ones launch their electric shells at you, the red ones climb walls and ceilings. The best way to defeat a blue Electrokoopa is to wait for its shell to launch and stomp it. Otherwise, be in long distance and hose it down with its shell off and when the shell returns, the blue Electrokoopa will get shocked and die.
They caused a lot of trouble in Pinna Park which caused a lack of visitors. One green one slept on a door at the top of the ferris wheel causing it to spin. If you open from underneath, the green Electrokoopa will fly into the ocean.
To defeat Hookbill, one must pelt him with eggs until he falls over, and then pound under his belly. This must be done three times to win the battle. Hookbill has several different attacks. First, he will crawl to you on all fours, causing you to drop Baby Mario if he touches you. When you pound his stomach, he will withdraw into his shell and start bouncing around before proceeding to his next attack. After being wounded once, he gets up on two legs and starts running, again causing you to lose control of Baby Mario if he comes in contact with you. For his final attack, he will jump and attempt to body slam you. Once Hookbill is defeated, he falls off of the edge.
Fierce Deity's Mask credit 68.210.248.127; 81.152.83.56; Red Phoenix (usurped); Chris Russo
The Fierce Deity's Mask is a fictional mask in the video game The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. It is the most powerful and final mask that can be collected in the game.
This mask is that of a warrior god, and has an unknown past. In the Japanese version of the game, it is referred to as the mask of an ogre god; while the name 'Oni Link', derived from this, is a fanon term for Link's transformation at this point, there is no similar reference in the English versions of the game. When Link is on the moon, he is met by four moon kids. Link gives his twenty normal masks to these four, and then meets a fifth moon kid. When the fifth one sees that Link has no masks, he offers to give Link a powerful mask: Fierce Deity's Mask. The powers of this mask are rumored to be as horrible as those of Majora's Mask, and when Link puts it on he grows into a large being resembling the adult Link from Ocarina of Time, but with a bluish-silver tunic, no pupils, and a giant, double-helix, two-handed sword. This sword can shoot magic orbs and is very useful against the three forms of Majora. It is equally effective against the other bosses in game, but cannot be used any further than the boss battles. Link's Fierce Deity form is considered to be the most powerful form that he has ever taken so far, while at the same time, his most mysterious form.
They appear at Gelato Beach where they are an irritating pest. Once spotted, they follow you around until they throw you high into the air. A fun way to beat them is to lure one, and then run to a tree and quickly climb in it. The cataquack will slam headfirst into the tree and will immediately be capsized. Only the red cataquacks damage you. If you lure a Cataquack to a sand bud and capsize it followed by your watering of the sand bud, it will fly into the air, and die landing on it's back (It turns to sand upon impact).
In Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, the Cataquacks are obstacles in the Peach Beach course and they'll flip you in the air. They can be capsized by a powerful weapon.

BTW, Norcycloartenol is reffered "31-norcycloartenol" in some paper[1][2] or "29-norcycloartenol" in othor paper[3][4] (SAME chemical), the reason is that zoology and botany are different in numbering of steroids side chain, 241 to 28, 242 to 29, can we just use Norcycloartenol as wiki article title if there is no ambiguations like 19-Norlanosterol to 29-Norlanosterol--Htmlzycq (talk) 14:03, 25 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
Yes you can use a name like "Norcycloartenol". If that is the usual name for the substance then we can use it for a title. It may need an explanation in the lead if there are other substances that might use the name too. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:42, 25 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hello, I see on your user page that you use JSTOR and I'd like to know more about your experience. By my calculations, a good 70 % of the main JSTOR content is now available for everyone at Internet Archive Scholar, with full text search provided e.g. at https://scholar.archive.org/ . The service is still in beta, but I've used it for some source-finding and it seems quite usable to me; I wonder whether that's just my experience. If you have a chance, the next time you'd be looking for a source on Google Scholar or JSTOR or similar, to perform the same search on IA scholar instead, I'd be curious to hear how it ends up.

Latest comment: 2 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion
Subject: Request for review of the deletion decision dated 26 April 2022 of Mr Sandstein- Case of Purshottam Lal
Dear Reviewing Authority,
(1) The Article on me - Purshottam Lal- created by Ms Sneha and approved by Wikipedia for publication on 27 January 2022 was deleted under the orders of Mr Sandstein ( herein after referred to as the deleting administrator , or DA in short) dated 26 April 2022 following a deletion discussion lasting 2 weeks. The final order said that there was lack of notability and not enough secondary sources.
(2) Normally, the creator of the page-Ms Sneha-should have made the review petition. However, since she is blocked for reasons presumably nothing to do with the Article on me, she cannot communicate , and hence this review request by me.
(3) As per advice on Wikipedia site , I first took up the matter with the DA and sent him a note on 20th May 2022 on his Talk Page. He very kindly responded and wrote : "Mr. Lal, consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Purshottam Lal was that there is not enough significant coverage about you in reliable secondary sources that are independent of you. That is needed for an article about you. Could you please read our guideline page WP:BIO and then tell me what the three best pieces of such coverage about you are? Sandstein 17:23, 20 May 2022 (UTC)"
(4) Thus, in his response, he did not mention the " notability " aspect which was the main reason for deletion.
(5) Since three independent References had been asked for and since most of my work as a writer and as a police officer had taken place in pre-internet era, I searched for feedback and comments of READERS of my articles in the print media since 1992 ( the year I started my writing endeavour ; more than 115 articles have since appeared in important newspapers, and four books published , all released by two different Governors of Punjab state ), and also newspaper reports of my work as a senior police officer , and after scanning them , sent the same to the DA on 25 May 2022 in PDF format, uploaded on Wikimedia. It , inter-alia, contained 31 feedbacks in respect of 20 articles of mine.( The link to these additiinal scanned References uploaded on Wikimedia is as follows:
I requested the DA to allow me to include these or some of them as References in the Article if more independent References were required. Similar request was made in respect of References for police work.
A synopsis of these additional References was provided to the DA for a quick glance and the same is reproduced below for the same purpose.

Serial No.26
Dainik Jagran ( Hindi ) , November 30, 2006
An interview on retirement.
I also provided to the DA 58 available online References to my articles and books and TV discussions as per list below( some were common to those in the deleted Article ):
I had the impression that the Wikipedia's first efforts are to retain the Article by making improvement etc if possible. However, the DA finally replied on 26 May 2022 vide which he did not touch upon this aspect at all, and commented that the three most important References mentioned by me in the deleted Article were not sufficient to justify an Article on me.
(6) I understand AfD (Article for Deletion )is concerned with the substance of the Article whereas DR ( Deletion Review ) is concerned with the process by which the decision was reached.
(7) The following breaches of due process took place in my case which deserve consideration .
(A) During the deletion discussion , the creator of the Article , Ms Sneha, was not allowed to participate on the ground that she had been blocked. In fact, two posts made by her from her mobile data ( which was not blocked at that time, since only her IP address was blocked ) giving clarifications on points raised by certain esteemed members of the Wikipedia community were struck off. Thus, the creator of the Article, went totally unrepresented and unheard. This is a breach of the principles of natural justice and fair play. At least, for this case, her block should have been removed so that her view point could also have been available for consideration.
(B) Mr Bonadea started the deletion discussion on 11 April 2022. He later blocked IPA address of Ms Sneha, creator of the Article, for the so-called sock-puppeting . When she put her viewpoints - twice- during the discussion through her mobile data, Mr Bonadea blocked her mobile data connectivity, too. He also struck off posts so put by Ms Sneha. Thus, in this case an inevitable clash of interest took place leading to denial of the opportunity of being heard , by virtue of both actions - deletion discussion and blocking- having been initiated /ordered by the same party i.e. Mr Bonadea. This is against the principles of natural justice in any society/country governed by the rule of law. The blocking decision should not have been taken by Mr Bonadea as he knew that he had already initiated the deletion discussion. He ought to have referred the blocking decision to some other Administrator. Thus, due process of fairness and unprejudiced discussion have been violated in this case.
(C ) At least two members who participated in the discussion majorly misread the Article. They presumed that I had been the Head of the Punjab Police Force. No such claim was made in the Article. It rather said in the Introduction : " ....retired from the rank of Director General of Police". Thus, it was the rank which was mentioned, and not the actual post. There are a few posts in the Punjab Police , all manned by DG rank officers. Though the two gentlemen spoke in my favour, yet their impression was wrong , and I pointed it out at the very first instance to Mr Geoffrey Lane of the Wikipedia in an email dated 28 April 2022 (info-en-v@wikimedia.org) . Such a misreading by not only these two esteemed members of the WP community but by some other participants also- like the one inquiring about the President's Police Medal for Distinguished Service in respect of which clarification was provided by the creator of the Article ,the same , however,having been being struck off- shows lack of proper understanding and appreciation of the contents of the Article by some of the esteemed participants. The number of participants , most of them not well-informed about the Indian system of policing except two, was also too less, about 5 or 6. This type of discussion amounted to a process not germane to a meaningful discussion , laying too much stress on the so-called independent References which , though present among the list of References, were not found adequate by the participants and ultimately by the DA. Instead of looking at the totality of the material available , they rather looked only at a part of it resulting in miscarriage of justice.
(D ) The DA's final note dated 26 May 2022 on his Talk Page says that the first two References mentioned speak of my book , and not of me. This is, to say the least, not a very correct interpretation. When somebody is talking about my book , he is naturally talking about me also as the book is my creation. About the third Reference, he mentioned it was by an organisation to which I belong and hence was not independent. First of all, he could not appreciate that the Reference was picked up by the creator by the internet search and mentioned as such just to show my qualities as a senior police officer , and referred to my past association with the organisation , and not the present one as I am no longer a member of it. Secondly, I was associated with it but had no control over it. The Reference also mentions the names of the former Governor Punjab and former Chief Secretary Punjab just to show that I was, at one time in the past, in the category of highly notable persons in the administration of the Punjab government , thereby supplementing my notability.
(E ) The DA's final note dated 26 May 2022 is silent on the suggestion to allow, for improving the Article, the use of 31 feedbacks provided in respect of 20 articles of mine in PDF format uploaded on Wikimedia , as independent secondary sources for my writing work, which PDF file contained some References for my police work also ( all relating to pre-internet era). Perhaps these or some of them could have been considered for addition so that the Article could have been improved and saved , as I understand that the first endeavour of the Wikipedia , as a positive step, is to retain the Article by improving it. Pre-internet References would naturally be in paper format, and only their scanned copies can be attached. Some 58 References ( out of which some might be common to the list already in the deleted Article) also sent for my articles and TV discusdions for possible use in improving the Article were also not touched upon by the DA in his final note of 26 May 2022. ( Please see the link and list of scanned References and other 58 in paragraph (5) above).
(F ) The Article was approved on 27 January 2022 by Wikipedia ( Mr John B 123- more than 1,89,000 edits and more than 248 active Articles to his credit) after satisfying about notability and References. No new facts came to light after that. No falsity of any information was ever alleged. Hence, in the absence of any fresh material, it is not fair to declare the same Article as ineligble on grounds of lack of notability and inadequacy of References, though later the DA in his note of 20 May 2022 on his Talk Page did not raise the issue of notability , and only of secondary independent References. Thus , there has been an apparent lack of consistency . I think an Article duly approved by an esteemed and experienced Wikipedian-Administrator should not be put up for deletion discussion unless fresh damaging material became available.
(G ) I have suffered loss of face by the deletion effected 3 months after its publication after due approval . I am now more than 75 years of age. My endeavour to write the fifth book- Origin of the Aryans- which was half-way through, is stalled due to this upsetting development.
Keeping in view the totality of circumstances, it is requested that the Article may kindly be restored. It can, however, be improved by adding more References or even amending it.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
Purshottam Lal
You have confused me with such a huge answer. That is why the request was for the three best sources. Three sources have to be reliable (so not a letter to the editor), have to be substantial (several paragraphs written on the subject), and independent (not written by the subject or their employer, or advertiser). WP:Autobiography is something to read, but it probably won't make you happy. PS your upload to commons was deleted, so we can't see it. Anyway WP:DRV is the place to contest, and please give a succinct reason to overturn the deletion. At WP:REFUND we could turn the page to a draft. But if it has been recreated many times or protected against creation, then a deletion review is best. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 00:46, 6 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hello sir, and I hope you don't find this message to your inconvenience.
I just want to ask if you would be able to review my draft article: Draft:List of largest galaxies. An earlier version of this list has been created way back 2015, but got deleted in 2018 due to many issues regarding the authenticity of the numbers there. In my newly created draft is my attempt to revive that list and resolve those issues, but I do still need to have a second opinion from anyone regarding it. Hopefully you heed my request, especially from someone like you.
Not done As the article is still being heavily edited, and there are few edit requests on the talk page, and those have not been actioned. You can ask for a second official opinion at WP:RFPP. I suspect an edit war will break out over whether she is Albanian, Kosovan, or Yugoslavian. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 23:35, 7 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hello sir, I check that in 2019, you undeleted this page and it was deleted and protected, it was not based on A7, but it was reviewed and stay for some time before there was a nomination and people had to say there option about the subject, it was deleted because different users was trying to create without much references but now I think you can restore this page sir. Thanks a lot for always been kind Favouredprince (talk) 23:21, 4 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
If you look at the reasons why the page was deleted you could see that it should at least be unprotected so that other user could make edits to it, and more references are available which means it should be restored by you sir Favouredprince (talk) 23:27, 4 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
Not done – this Requests for Undeletion process is only for articles that were deleted uncontroversially, and does not apply to articles deleted after a deletion discussion. Since the article you are here about was deleted after a discussion took place at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/DJ Kelblizz, it cannot be undeleted through this process. However, if you believe that the outcome of the discussion did not reflect the consensus of the participants, or that significant new information has come to light since the article was deleted, you may contact the administrator who closed the discussion. After you do so, if your concerns are not addressed and you still seek undeletion, a request may be made at deletion review. If you would like to create an article, please do it at Draft:DJ Kelblizz so it can be checked that no reason for deletion applies. If you disagree with protection, you should ask user talk:Sir Sputnik. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 23:58, 4 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Couty's azetidine synthesis, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Chlorination.
Your edit summary title=home is more useless than bare url makes no sense to me. The domain name is in the website parameter, so no less info is displayed to the reader. So what's the problem?
In the Ruby, Sapphire, FireRed, LeafGreen, Emerald, Diamond, and Pearl versions, it is identifiable by its blue roof. In the earlier versions, it is identifiable by its sign with "MART"/"SHOP" ("SHOP" in the Japanese versions, "MART" in the English versions).These Marts contain items for the player to buy and use, such as Potions and Poké Balls. As the player progresses in the game, the better the items become, such as a Potion may be replaced by a Super Potion or a Poké Ball may be replaced by a Great Ball, a more advanced Poké Ball. In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, there are two clerks. The male clerk sells specialist items for that particular city while the female clerk sells the standard range of goods except that this universal range is available in all cities and just gets updated when the protagonist reaches a new city.Cities such as Celadon City, Goldenrod City, Lilycove City and Veilstone City are renowned for their much larger Marts, which are known as Department stores. These stores have up to six floors and hold a much larger assortment of Pokémon items, even Technical Machines for teaching attacks and Poké Dolls. In Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Diamond and Pearl these Department Stores sell Secret Base items which can then be placed into the player's Secret Base, as well as selling the usual items that any other Pokémart sells.

Graeme Bartlett Hello, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Anzor_Alem
I corrected some mentioned for my draft
I would like to know more about what is missing for the page to be visible to the public,
And if the page is perfect I would like to help you continue to add the sources to defend the page that it is still in the rules of Wikipedia, it prompted me to work more and update the article with more details and the latest filmography. I think it may be above the threshold now, so I submitted it for review. Thank you Graeme Bartlett Jojoaspel (talk) 16:11, 19 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
I removed hoax, but Praxidicae was the one to decline. I will note that references have to be reliable, that means published by someone who checks facts and corrects things, and hopefully has a reputation for accuracy. This would normally include newspapers, or books or some TV shows. Also to show notability there has to be substantial coverage, , so more than a mention of a name.

Hi, Graeme, I hope you are well! You seem to be doing a lot of the heavy lifting at WP:REFUND, for which thank you! Can I make a sort of plea or suggestion? That before restoring a page such as this you run through the standard Terms-of-Use checks – i.e., copyvio and UPE? That particular page suffered from both. Of course in an ideal world that would have been picked up when it was created, not months later, but we don't live in an ideal world. I worry that the name of an admin in the page history might lead others to be less vigilant in these matters than they would otherwise be.

Thank you so much for restoring Manal Cali to my User space! I have completed my merge to Somalia women's national basketball team now – it was totally worth it to have the whole page back temporarily, as I could easily cut and paste an entire paragraph to perform the merge like the basic visual editor editor that I am. (Plus there was no way I would have found that source written in Somali.)
So my question now is: Now that I'm done, how do I get it deleted from my User space? Or will self-destruct if I wait long enough? (I also created a bunch of Draft pages in my User space when I didn't understand how new pages were created and had no idea what I was doing...so I'm due for a deletion of a lot clutter there as well...)

@Cielquiparle: to get this stuff deleted you can just ask an admin like me ( probably the best idea for this last restore) or you can tag it with {{db-u1}} (delete stuff in userspace) or {{db-u7}} (delete stuff you created). If you use AFC it will self destruct, but otherwise will hang around until timeline of the far future type events. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 23:14, 25 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hello Graeme,
I believe about two months (25 August 2022) ago you reviewed an article I was drafting about a fentanyl derivative that is among the most potent, which has been various called many things but I have been referring to it with the nomenclature 4-fluoroohmfentanyl, it is essentially ohmfentanyl with a para fluorine added to the phenethylamine ring.
Your comments were helpful, there is a shortage of sources on this substance. And yes for brevity I mostly imported the ohm fentanyl article and made edits. I'm thinking of finding as many more sources as I can on this compound in particular, even if they only reference it, clear out the old references to ohmfentanyl that are not as relevant, and re-work the text a bit to make it a shorter and more specific article to the 4 derivative. After this was done I was going to re-submit, but before I undertook this I wanted to your advisement and assessment of this plan.
Thank you for reviewing my article and I appreciate the help you have offered.

Change of Hot Form Quench (HFQ) to Hot form quench

Would it be possible to keep the original page title because HFQ is often used as the abbreviation for this method of forming in the sector. Having HFQ in brackets after the term will making searching for it on Wikipedia much easier. Also in published articles, Hot Form Quench has always had first letters capitalised.

Hi Graeme. For some reason, I had this file on my watchlist and it showed up when the bot tagged it for speedy deletion per WP:F5. You might want to take a closer look at this because it looks like it was replaced by a file uploaded to Commons; however, that file seems to be a likely copyvio and has been tagged by someone else for speedy deletion. The Commons file was tagged by a Commons administrator who probably wouldn't have done so if the file's licensing just needed tweaking; the uploader, however, subsequently added a link to YouTube as a source. I can't get that link to work; so, I can't verify the file's licensing. If the Commons file ends up being deleted, then the non-free the bot tagged probably should be kept; so, you might want to re-add it to Bigg Boss (Malayalam TV series) until the Commons file is sorted out. -- Marchjuly (talk) 09:30, 12 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Categories
Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments2 people in discussion
Hello, Graeme Bartlett,
There are a group of empty categories where you removed the valid CSD C1 tag because it's claimed that CSD C1 is ineligible if a category is subject to a CFD discussion. But these categories were never tagged as being part of a CFD deletion discussion. How would any editor have known? And they still are not tagged as being part of a deletion discussion. This is a necessary step of any deletion discussion whether it's AFD, RFD, MFD or TFD. Would an article be subject to an AFD deletion discussion if there was no AFD tag on the article? And if these categories were never tagged as being part of a deletion discussion, I assume the category creators were never notified as well.
I have retagged these categories because there is no sign on the category page that they are ineligible. They will sit for another week in Category:Empty categories awaiting deletion. I assume the CFD discussion will be resolved before these 7 days have passed so there will not be an issue. But if you remove the tags again, the categories will keep appearing on our daily empty categories list, Wikipedia:Database reports/Empty categories, which informs editors on which categories are eligible for CSD C1 tagging so I'd like to ask you to let the tags remain on the pages unless they are replaced by the necessary CFD tag. Empty categories are rarely deleted before 7 days have passed so there is a week to get this resolved.
I've been working with empty categories since I became an admin in 2013 and I haven't run into this kind of incident before. Sometimes categories that are part of a CFD discussion appear on the empty category list but they all have been tagged to notify editors that they are part of a CFD discussion and are so ineligible. I have no idea why the nominator didn't follow procedure in this instance. Thank you for considering this request. LizRead!Talk!01:50, 7 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
Come on Liz, you should know better. As you or the tagger were unaware of the CFD, there was no point in complaining about the mistake. But now that you know, you should follow the "rules" and let the CFD decide. If the decision is keep they will be repopulated. And if delete, they will be deleted even more speedily. I will ask the nominator to properly tag these pages. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 02:04, 7 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
Sorry for interrupting the conversation, put saw that the page for Materla had the tag "[Create=Require administrator access] (indefinite)".

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on C2S2 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either
disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Drafting article for protected Post-Finasteride Syndrome page
Latest comment: 1 year ago6 comments2 people in discussion
Hi Graeme, hope you are well-
I was looking to draft an article on Post-Finasteride Syndrome, but the existing PFS page is currently a redirect to the article for Finasteride, and is also protected. Thus I was wondering: Is it necessary to lift the protection on an article page before drafting a new version of it? And if so, would you or another administrator be willing to lift the protection?
I followed the Draft:Post-finasteride syndrome link, but it redirects me to the Finasteride article; is there a way around this? Apologies in advance if I'm missing something, I'm relatively new to Wikipedia.

List of Female Clarivate Citation laureates not meeting criteria
Latest comment: 1 year ago3 comments2 people in discussion
Hey, I saw that you changed the page for not meeting the list criteria. Since you are an administrator, I'm going to assume that your decision was correct. However, I only created the page because I saw that it was linked in red at the bottom of this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_female_Nobel_laureates
Is there any reason as to why my list doesn't meet the criteria and this one does? The latter page is even a featured list. I'd just like some transparency. :) AquaAlien (talk) 02:03, 22 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
@AquaAlien: The reason for keeping it as a list will be if the content is covered in other reliable sources as a list. Otherwise it would be an original research topic if we just extracted something to make a list that no one else ever covered as a topic. If you can find several sources that cover just Female Clarivate Citation laureates, without male ones, that would justify the list as you made it. A redlink does not always have to me made! In particular a red link under a see also should really be removed if the page does not exist, as it is useless for our readers. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 02:09, 22 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

A belated hi from Lamro,
News are coming that Wikipedia is soon to be blocked in my country, Russia. VPNs are not allowed by Wikipedia as far as I know. Probably, I will be able to read, but I will not be able to write. I have always been affraid that they will do it sooner or later. Therefore, during the last year, I have tried to contribute as much as I could because it is very important for me. The quality has suffered as a result--and I know it. But I hope others will correct my articles. I have been an active editor for 10+ years but will not be soon. Very painful to know it. Like a small death to me.
I hope one day I will return as an editor. Hope to see your feedback again.

Hey mate, can you go into a little more depth about what you meant when you said "Pais' patent is not supported by papers or on-line frenzy"? Much of this is admittedly above my head, but I read on WP:SEEALSO that "One purpose of "See also" links is to enable readers to explore tangentially related topics; however, articles linked should be related to the topic of the article or be in the same defining category." I would think that citing Pais' patent would make it and the LK-99 patent tangentially related topics, especially with the limited scope of room-temperature superconductor claims? Cheers!

I was curious about this draft, and had meant to decline it. Obviously you disagree, which is fine. I just wanted to let you know that I've flagged it for major referencing issues 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrentFaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 12:04, 17 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
This draft piqued my interest. Your stats at AFC are as follows:
Examined 2,045 reviews:
Accepts: 962 (93.22%)
Declines: 59 (5.72%)
Comments: 11 (1.07%)
This is interesting because they are broadly the inverse of the stats one would expect to see for an AFC Reviewer's track record. You have an enviable track record of acceptance. Obviously you are an experienced admin, so perhaps you would care to offer some commentary, please?
For reference my own stats are as follows:
Examined 4,352 reviews:
Accepts: 1,375 (53.50%)
Declines: 803 (31.25%)
Comments: 392 (15.25%)
My accepts are considered to be high at 53.5%, perhaps because I make it a practice to accept borderline drafts. For you to be 40 percentage points ahead of me in acceptances requires some thought.
@Timtrent: The reason for my stats is where I get the drafts to review, mostly coming from User:AlexNewArtBot/ChemistrySearchResult so they are in the field of science or scientist rather than entertainer, business, or sport related. Also I am more likely to just accept the good looking ones and leave the low grade for others to decline. In the early days of AFC I was about the only one reviewing, and I accepted anything that had a claim of importance and some kind of source. Requirements are much stricter now. Also some reviewers are much too harsh. In some cases I will get a rejected draft and move to to article space. They usually survive. In the case of Philip Agbese I confirmed the SNG requirement for politician, so it would survive AFD. And I removed some puffery. Pffery is very common! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:27, 17 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. I knew you had been around for quite some time. We are broadly of the same vintage, including AFC.
Might I make a suggestion, now that the acceptance criteria have evolved? Well, I'm going to make it anyway, though not quite sure how to phrase it.
When you get a draft that is a biography, please will you look at those far stricter criteria and consider whether you might let it pass for another reviewer, one who might be more aligned with the need for stronger referencing.
With regard to the acceptance that caught my attention, I fear it was an unusually low bar that you felt it had to leap over. As a politician it will doubtless survive, but it should not, in my opinion, have been accepted in this state 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrentFaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 23:09, 17 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

See Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries. The owner of the copyright should be the one giving consent.

Azides
Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments2 people in discussion
Hello! Firstly, I wanted to thank you for your help in everything you do, especially in coming behind me to tidy up Magnesium azide and Strontium azide when I was working on them. Since then, I've gone back through and added more citation depth to those stubs, which I wanted to make sure was done before making any other articles. Now this might not be a massive project by any means, but I wanted to give you a heads up that it is my intention to make another handful of these stubs in the next coming days. My estimate is about 5-7 of these, based on azides of elements from the d-block (particularly nickel, copper, mercury, and others as fit). For the most part, these stubs should already have counterparts in other language wikis, but I'll be looking everything over anyway. If it ends up being plausible, a DYK for mercury's could be in the cards, although I'll see how things turn out source-wise. I wanted to give you a heads-up as I felt you may be interested in these creations. In the meantime, the stubs should be similar in page layout compared to Magnesium azide and Strontium azide for now. Utopes(talk / cont)13:26, 29 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Utopes: thanks for letting me know. I will be taking a look at these once they appear as articles. And soon I will be looking at DYK too! Just make sure the DYK hook is interesting. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:24, 29 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
November Articles for creation backlog drive
Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion
Hello Graeme Bartlett:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.

I know it is good to remove backlog, but it is not good to approve an article such as Alain Manceau which needs a few simple tweaks. It is also not good to remove

For instance, there are no sources to verify any of his positions, and I don't believe Wikipedia is the place for an essay on his research. Ldm1954 (talk) 20:46, 2 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
Draftified – the page has been restored to the draft space at [[{{{2}}}]]. Draft:List of Kirby powers Draft:Green Greens Draft:Fountain of Dreams (Kirby). Also Pop Star (Kirby series) done. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:08, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject.
Not done – this Requests for Undeletion process is only for articles that were deleted uncontroversially, and does not apply to articles deleted after a deletion discussion. Since the article you are here about was deleted after a discussion took place at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Digital Journal (2nd nomination), it cannot be undeleted through this process. However, if you believe that the outcome of the discussion did not reflect the consensus of the participants, or that significant new information has come to light since the article was deleted, you may contact the administrator who closed the discussion, Premeditated Chaos (talk · contribs). After you do so, if your concerns are not addressed and you still seek undeletion, a request may be made at deletion review. @Chrishogg18: there was a second debate.
