I have an experience with WP:AFD and reverting articles. As a participator of WikiProject Articles for creation, I have now the experience of:

• reject/decline the draft if the draft has low on citations and no notable support between independent sources and the draft itself.
• approve of these drafts and move them to article space if theres a connection between independent sources, affiliated sources and the draft must have a inline citations. If does the article had 1550 letters, then I slapped (means 'nominate deletion of the article) and copyright violation.
• declining of the draft submitted because breaks the WP:GNG, WP:BIO, etc.

I have more than 500 edits and I have low on undeleted edits, see my contributions ‍ Shonyx 06:06, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting AfC reviewer to help out in more general areas of Wikipedia, which includes decreasing the backlog. My account is about a year old, and while I've created very few articles overall (25~), I would say I have pretty good comprehension of the notability guidelines. I have plenty of experience in AfD, having participated in it nearly as long as I've been on Wikipedia with a 62% success rate (+ more if you count merges). I also have a general idea of other notability guidelines, but I only say "general idea" because I don't write articles for, say, sports players. I would respond to questions quickly as I am very active on-wiki. λ NegativeMP1 04:41, 5 April 2024 (UTC) λ NegativeMP1 04:41, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've been a longtime editor with 3.5k+ edits, created (out of the 4 deleted articles 3 were self-delete) and contributed to a fair number of articles, having GA, and passed DYKs. I've participated in various WikiProjects, most notably WIR and WikiProject:Fungi. I've experience with AFDs and noticeboard discussions. For quite some time now, I'm almost regular to the wiki and if able, I hope to respond promptly to questions about my reviews. I have a good grasp of the policies and guidelines mentioned in the reviewing instructions, especially the various notability guidelines.

I'd like to help the AFC backlogs, especially with biological nomenclature articles, as I'm more often than not somewhat familiar with and passionate about these fields. X (talk) 14:14, 7 April 2024 (UTC) X (talk) 14:14, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Furthermore, I have participated actively in AFD, and from my contibs, helped out in certain tasks of the encyclopedia.

Hello. I would like to request access to the AfC Helper Script to help review new articles (and lower the backlog). I have over 4500 edits, with over 1500 in the mainspace, and have participated in the deletion process through CSD and AfD (though I've only started logging CSD recently). I have also created several articles and have helped others create theirs. I have thoroughly read the reviewing instructions and will start reviewing carefully right away, if access is given.

I would like to help move promising drafts into the mainspace and return the cruddier drafts back to their authors. I don't plan on using the tools much as writing/reviewing GAs is where my interests are at, though. As a content creator, I have created a few articles myself and have light AfD experience. I also got a crash course on notability from NPP school (on which I feel pretty confident about now) but never finished as my teacher went inactive. ❤HistoryTheorist❤ 04:23, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've been on Wikipedia for a year and made 30k undeleted edits. As I understand the reviewing instructions, AfC is preemptive, conservative AfD: rejecting articles that would very likely, and for good reason, be deleted at AfD. (And outside of CSD material, notability is the main such reason.) I've spent some time participating in/reading deletion discussions, as well as reviewing/applying deletion and notability policy, and I think I have a decent grasp of these.

I want to participate because it's discouraging for a new editor to have their draft sit in pending for months. Keeping the AfC process running smoothly and correctly isn't just about the articles themselves, it's also about keeping Wikipedia welcoming to newcomers without sacrificing encyclopedic standards. jlwoodwa (talk) 05:47, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
