Regarding article at National Board for Wildlife

This page at National Board for Wildlife is redirected to Environmental policy of India. This redirection is not relevant. This board is a apex body in India for wildlife conservation.

I'd removed the redirect tag and added info about the board.

You erased all the content and restored the redirect. I think this is a mistake. You just destroyed an article.

I'm not able to restore that.

@Shivck13: Hi. Nothing is destroyed. I moved it to Draft:National Board for Wildlife with the edit summary "Draftify whilst it is worked on. Needs multiple independent reliable sources with sustained coverage of the subject." Your article had only 1 reference, and even that wasn't an inline reference. -Lopifalko (talk) 15:35, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

This page is just collection of some basic facts like Purpose, Functions, Composition etc. I think that source was enough for it. I guess there is no proper govt website for this so I could cite that.

And I'm sorry I only know basic things about Wikipedia so I couldn't restore that and I thought it was destroyed. 15:42, 2 September 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shivck13 (talk • contribs)

@Shivck13: WP:ORG says an article on an organisation needs multiple independent reliable sources with sustained coverage of the subject. -Lopifalko (talk) 15:53, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

Advertising flag on DMTF page remains

Greetings Lopifalko,

I hate to bother a busy editor with this, but your edit of 2 May 2019 (diff, I hope:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Distributed_Management_Task_Force&diff=895167911&oldid=895167753)

seems intended to remove the advertising flag from the page, but it's still there. I'm paid to edit for that organization, so I'm wary of removing it myself, but I will if you want. Thanks for your earlier help with Redfish (specification). GGSloth (talk) 19:47, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

Re: Speedy deletion nomination of OpenEdge

Hi. OpenEdge is not my article. I mayde a redir to different topic. You should write to User:Congress1787 who seem to have actually wrote the article. If you still consider it necessary that is. Cheers, --Nux (talk) 17:20, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

Question - Draft:Otis_Mensah

Hi Lopifalko.

Would you mind please taking a look again at Draft:Otis_Mensah ? I have added some more independent sources, but I'm not sure if they constitute 'sustained coverage'.

Many thanks!

Mikeysandford (talk) 15:10, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

@Mikeysandford: Hi. I review many articles, which one is this please? -Lopifalko (talk) 16:23, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

@Mikeysandford: Hi, sorry it has taken me so long to get around to looking again. I should have been saying "significant" coverage not "sustained" coverage. The bios you have added are written by the artist or their people, so are of no use in establishing notability. However The Star source is now working, so let's do this thing... -Lopifalko (talk) 10:46, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

  • Draft:Progressive Capitalism (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I revised my submission to address the reviewer's comments. I resubmitted my submission "Progressive Capitalism" for another review two months ago. I understand there is a queue and that I need to be patient, and I am being patient. I would greatly appreciate some indication about where re-review of my last submission stands. I have people interested in what I am doing and I need to update the expectation of a two month review cycle that I previously set with them. This is my first new submission and I a afraid of doing something wrong. Please help me work better with the review team. Warm regards, parent55

Reply to Lopifalko: Great help with review and corrections. I looked at every change you made and see I still have much to learn. Thank you, warm regards, parnt55 Parent55 (talk) 02:35, 22 August 2019 (UTC) Parent55 (talk) 19:37, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

@Parent55: That's OK, don't worry about doing something wrong, it's fine to ask me to take a look. The review process is not formalised, in that it could be looked at at any time by a reviewer. I didn't have this article on my watch list and haven't been reviewing drafts for a while. I am happy to take a look, as long as I can get my head around the subject. -Lopifalko (talk) 05:52, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

Done. -Lopifalko (talk) 06:43, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

Draft: Gringo (rapper)

I ask for the reason why the article Gringo (rapper) is moved to Draft:Gringo (rapper) and what the problem is. English is not my mother language, so sorry if I did not understand something right. I have only revised an article which was redirected to the page List of number-one hits of 2018 (Germany). What can I do to revert back to the previously saved state? —Jnnc19 (talk) 17:59, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

@Jnnc19: The article doesn't have multiple independent reliable sources with sustained coverage of the subject, which I suggest you find before moving to article space. However the article would appear to satisfy the following criteria from WP:MUSICBIO: "Criteria for musicians and ensembles ... Musicians or ensembles (this category includes bands, singers, rappers, orchestras, DJs, musical theatre groups, instrumentalists, etc.) may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria. ... Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart." -Lopifalko (talk) 16:48, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

Photography Studies College

Hi Lopifalko, thank you for your helpful edits on Photography Studies College. I've restored some relevant info on founder Roger Hayne, but otherwise have left what you have done. Added some much earlier 'notable alumni' in the hope that the article can become more historically informative. Cheers, Jamesmcardle^(talk) 11:35, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

New Page Review newsletter September-October 2019

Hello Lopifalko,

Backlog

Instead of reaching a magic 300 as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.

Coordinator

A proposal is taking place here to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.

This month's refresher course

Why I Hate Speedy Deleters, a 2008 essay by long since retired Ballonman, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for making the occasional mistake while others can learn from their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.

Deletion tags

Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.

Paid editing

Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.

Subject-specific notability guidelines' (SNG). Alternatives to deletion

• Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves once more with notability guidelines for organisations and companies.
• Blank-and-Redirect is a solution anchored in policy. Please consider this alternative before PRODing or CSD. Note however, that users will often revert or usurp redirects to re-create deleted articles. Do regularly patrol the redirects in the feed.

Not English

• A common issue: Pages not in English or poor, unattributed machine translations should not reside in main space even if they are stubs. Please ensure you are familiar with WP:NPPNE. Check in Google for the language and content, and if they do have potential, tag as required, then move to draft. Modify the text of the template as appropriate before sending it.

Tools

Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent enhancements to the New Pages Feed and features in the Curation tool, and there are still more to come. Due to the wealth of information now displayed by ORES, reviewers are strongly encouraged to use the system now rather than Twinkle; it will also correctly populate the logs.

Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See User:SD0001/StubSorter.js, It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools.

Assessment: The script at User:Evad37/rater makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done.

DannyS712 bot III is now patrolling certain categories of uncontroversial redirects. Curious? Check out its patrol log.

Go here to remove your name if you wish to opt-out of future mailings.

Your draft article, Draft:Full-frame mirrorless fixed-lens cameras

Hello, Lopifalko. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Full-frame mirrorless fixed-lens cameras".

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 nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! CptViraj (📧) 05:40, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

Deletion of Miss Bold and Beautiful Nigeria

Hello Lopifaiko, I'd appreciate if you rather research on that topic and help edit the post other than tagging for speedy deletion. I have no affiliation with the event In no way and the write up was not for promotional use but rather informational. Thank you. Xtianolove (talk) 11:55, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

@Xtianolove: I did research it. It made no credible claim of importance or significance and all bar one of the the references were not from what Wikipedia considers reliable sources, so did not count to wards its notability. I searched for more sources found only more of the same non-reliable sources. As you know, only yesterday this article was deleted for the same reason by others. -Lopifalko (talk) 12:00, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Okay, so please how do I solve these problems of unreliable sources because they are valid but might not meet up to Wikipedia's conditions, so how do I fix this and re-publish? Pls assist if you can sir/ma.Xtianolove (talk) 12:07, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

@Xtianolove: "Valid" does not have much meaning here. Wikipedia wants multiple independent reliable sources with significant coverage of the subject. If these do not exist then the subject is not yet notable enough for inclusion. The rules are strict for this kind of thing, see Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). -Lopifalko (talk) 12:53, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Deletion Kevin Kyburz

Hey, i saw you delete the Page Kevin Kyburz. Can you say me why? I was not the first editor of the Page, but now the Source has more credibility. Swisshashtag (talk) 18:55, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
