Thank you very much for your help.

Reminders:

• There is live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
• Please add the project discussion page to your watchlist.
• To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Hey @SportingFlyerI wanted to ask if you could remove the deletion discussion prompt on the Pionner League Rosters page, it seems the discussion is gone in the talk page so I think we can remove it. I would just prefer someone who has done it before to do it so I don’t cause more problems then I already have lol. ParkerLyme (talk) 20:59, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@ParkerLyme: Unfortunately neither of us can withdraw the AfD since we didn't start the AfD, and someone will need to close the discussion first. The nominator will have to withdraw it. SportingFlyer T·C 21:29, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding this comment: did you mean something like "suspected violations of the biographies of living persons policy"? isaacl (talk) 22:09, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Isaacl: Just any poorly created BLP, since all of these are only sourced to statistical databases. SportingFlyer T·C 22:33, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It might be helpful to clarify; right now it reads "are we going to treat suspected biographies of living persons differently?" isaacl (talk) 22:40, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The proposed decision for the AlisonW case has been posted. Statements regarding the proposed decision are welcome at the talk page. Please note that comments must be made in your own section.

Redirect has been deleted. Please go ahead and accept the draft. - Whpq (talk) 00:12, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The arbitration case Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/AlisonW has been closed, and the final decision is viewable at the case page. The following remedy has been enacted:

• For failure to meet the conduct standards expected of an administrator, AlisonW's administrative user rights are removed. She may regain them at any time via a successful request for adminship.

Hi. I have finished editing the rest of the 2022–23 LEN Euro Cup. I have also put in more third party sources. Can it finally be approved? Or the review already going on? ILoveSport2006 (talk) 22:46, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@ILoveSport2006: I've accepted the draft. The references you added weren't clear on whether the tournament was notable for a normal Wikipedian, so I went ahead and added a couple more sources to make sure the article would be less likely to get deleted as well. SportingFlyer T·C 23:15, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much. I've been working really hard to improve and create articles on European club water polo. I'm so happy that my hard work has paid off. After I made an article for the 2022 Super Cups and 2022–23 LEN Challenger Cup, it means that there's an article on every European club Water polo competition for last season. Thanks and I couldn't be happier. ILoveSport2006 (talk) 23:45, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@ILoveSport2006: For the future look for local newspaper articles to demonstrate notability, and consider writing a bit about the tournament if you can. The only issue is that Wikipedia looks to see if people have taken note of these tournaments, which is clearly the case in the countries where it's played, but at AfC if it's just sourced to the competition's website I can't move it out of draftspace because it might be immediately deleted. Hope that helps. SportingFlyer T·C 23:48, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I know. I didn't originally start this article, but I will use your advice for the future and when I start articles from scratch, I will try and have articles from different languages and write a bit about the tournament. Thanks ILoveSport2006 (talk) 23:55, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for reviewing my Tokyo Disney Celebration Hotel article. I've placed a few more Japanese references I found to the article so it can hopefully be approved. If you are able to take another look I would appricate it or if you have any further suggestions please let me know. Thanks Otchiman (talk) 11:04, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know Japanese but I'll take another look soon when I have a chance to machine translate them. If I forget after a few days, please re-ping me. SportingFlyer T·C 10:20, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, you have said here that you will re-open the discussion and notify the people on Wikiproject Football. Any plans to do so? TheWikiholic (talk) 02:50, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@TheWikiholic: Hi, I was making a suggestion to whoever closed that discussion, not suggesting I would do it myself, sorry. SportingFlyer T·C 08:58, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, @SportingFlyer I was wondering if it would be okay if I took over and tried to fix the 2023 Pecos League season draft someone else made or if I could just start from scratch with it. I created the 2022 season one and several other Independent baseball league season pages. Something came up so I did really have the time to make the 2023 one for the Pecos League. I know the season is almost over but I would still like to do it for the season so if makes it easier for access to fans of the league. It wouldn't take me a long time. Wanted to hear your opinion on it. I would appreciate it! @ParkerLyme: No problem at all on my end - the draft just needs independent secondary sources. SportingFlyer T·C 08:57, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@SportingFlyer I did fix and update the 2023 Pecos League Draft and tried my best to make it the best it could be if you could review it for submission I would be so happy!

I hope it works and is up to standard! ParkerLyme (talk) 06:38, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@ParkerLyme: Could you please find one or two more sources that aren't the league website? Not trying to be difficult but want to make sure your work doesn't get deleted. SportingFlyer T·C 09:40, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It’s okay but I am a bit confused because I thought I did add secondary sources with rdrnews.com, timesherald, pointstreak, and oursportscentral

I thought those would suffice but if they don’t do you have any recommendations on where I should add secondary sources ParkerLyme (talk) 16:52, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Aha. Pointstreak was just statistics and OurSportsCentral may not be reliable for notability purposes. And something like this is probably too short. Maybe look at Tucson papers? SportingFlyer T·C 16:55, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The mainspace redirect Abbot Public Library was deleted several days ago. Please complete the AfC acceptance. Thanks. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 12:22, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Pppery: Done. Apologies, I wasn't notified and haven't checked my CSD log for a few days SportingFlyer T·C 12:38, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This season is on going, and is like the page from last season, 2022–23 Danish 3rd Division regards referacens. is it updatet by every round like Danish Superliga og Premier League in UK. 212.112.153.103 (talk) 08:57, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your feedback on my first draft at an entry! It was very objective and easy to understand. I look forward to improving my work based on the insight you provided. I hope you have a great day. Thank you for the help and the work you do to make knowledge accessible. ArtWriter513 (talk) 15:55, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Howdy! I'm willing to continue working on this article as it will become the authoritative source on this previously under-reported military program. Let's go item by item to get this rolling! First, and perhaps most importantly, I believe this subject to be notable. Can you please explain your reasoning against this, and let me know what I can do to ensure that it meets the notability guidelines? Thanks!

Dogsbrunch (talk) 04:43, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Dogsbrunch: I didn't think the article would necessarily be kept at a deletion discussion. The Dyson references aren't necessarily bad but he's the author of note on three of the four references, and it's not clear if he's the only person who has ever discussed the project at length. The fourth reference was only a couple sentences long and did not seem like significant coverage to me, though it can definitely be used as a reference in the article, just not to establish notability. Notability here works based on whether secondary sources have discussed the topic in a way that we don't have to do any original research, so the way to improve this would be to find additional independent, secondary references which discuss the topic at length - you probably only need one or two more. SportingFlyer T·C 17:49, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent, thanks for your guidance. It's hard to find ANY references to this project, and certainly not in one place. I'll seek additional sources and re-submit. Thanks again! Dogsbrunch (talk) 00:43, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please comment on my article nomination.Mahmood Rasooli - Mahmood Rasooli (nomination)

I have used reliable sources in my article and reliable sources have been used in all my explanations. And someone gives unacceptable reasons and wants to delete my article.

I want you to tell me what you think about my article.

On 21 September 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Jergins Trust Building, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd that once led to the Jergins Trust Building in Long Beach, California? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Jergins Trust Building. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Jergins Trust Building), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. 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.

Hello SportingFlyer,

Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!

October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here.

PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon.

Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.

Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.

Reminders:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
• Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
• To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.
