			Hello, BeanieFan11,
			Lately, it seems like I've seen you make valuable comments in AFD discussions but you don't cast a "vote". Is there a reason why? I hope it has nothing to do with keeping a high AFD agreement percentage but that doesn't seem like something you'd care about.

			* {{ping|Liz}} Its mainly because of how disorganized the notability criteria for sports has become. I usually comment on ones which I feel have a very good chance of being notable. Due to the changes in NSPORT, though, one is not supposed to be allowed to be kept until it is 'demonstrated that SIGCOV exists', something that can be absurd in some situations. I try to only vote on the ones which have been demonstrated to have SIGCOV, or, failing that, a very strong argument otherwise for its keeping. For many of them (especially older, foreign topics), while they have a very high chance of being notable, I don't feel right voting 'keep' when there hasn't been sufficient coverage demonstrated and I can't think of a strong enough argument to keep. ] (]) 14:32, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
			:{{tps}} Historically, voting keep at too many borderline AfDs just gets you badgered and your creations targeted (if you have any). Less stressful to just comment sometimes. Beanie was brought to ANI a few years ago when he really didn't even do anything. The reporting user was interaction-banned in a separate discussion later for hounding Beanie. That's not the only person who has targeted Beanie either. No sanctions came out of the other case though. ] (]) 19:29, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
			::Well, if true, that's just tragic. No one should be harrassed for comments at an AFD discussion unless they are clearly AI-generated or they are just a series of "per nom" votes. Sorry you had to deal with that, BeanieFan11. Being called to ANI is no fun at all. But I appreciate your thoughtful response here to my query.

			*:Some of the issues with Greg's articles is they sometimes use unreliable sources, fail verification and/or the claims are exaggerated so you have do a thorough review. The COI is his him writing about his family, related people and topics. I notice in the article about Goold, a book published by Arcadia Publishing is used, which often is not a reliable source and heavy reliance on the hyper-local newspaper the Carmel Pine Cone. ] (]) 14:20, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
			*::Thank you {{u|S0091}}. We have someone who appears to be new to this walled garden ] "defending" a couple of Greg's articles without having a full awareness of the situation. {{yo|Netherzone}} as the one who added the notability tag to ] along with years of experience dealing with these sources and this topic area, would you mind briefly explaining the problems with the sources and the ways they are being used? You tend to articulate source analysis better than I can. ] (]) 15:57, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
			*::: My concern is: are the issues really that serious that they need to be mass removed by the dozens? Have Arcadia and the ''Pine Cone'' been determined to be unreliable? We've got very few editors who write decent articles on historical topics, so we better get it right if we decide that its necessary to mass throw them out. ] (]) 16:00, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
			*::::When there's 400+ articles worth of these similar sets of sources, and most of us would rather spend time doing other things of a more personal preference on Misplaced Pages and in real life, it's extraordinarily difficult to do anything other than mass removal. Ironically, Pine Cone and Arcadia are probably the two sources that have been discussed the most ad nauseum on endless rounds of talk page discussions, with Greg being the only one who believed they were reliable for establishing notability, ]. ] (]) 16:19, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
			*::::Arcadia Publishing has been discussed a few times at RSN and needs to be used with extreme caution because often the authors are not recognized experts and often they have a vested interest in promoting the subject. Some editors have noted factual errors. I came across one that was written by a local real estate agent. I am not sure the issue with Pine Cone is reliability as much as its use to establish notability given it is hyper local publication. These sources have been discussed with Greg and at various AfDs several times and consensus I believe has consistently been neither can be used to establish notability. ] (]) 16:27, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
			*:::Hello @], yes, @] is correct. The articles are not "decent" if sources are misrepresented enmass and unreliable sources are used in the majority of them. If you do decide to take the time to investigate in depth, read through the talk page archives of the editor. The problems with COI go all the way back to 2007 and later with UPE editing, and the sourcing issues (part of the block) run the course.
			*:::Personally, I see no issue whatsoever with the redirect, and I doubt the ''Inchling'' article would survive an AfD. Re: the biography, many of the bios were written about local people who were simply doing their job and are not notable. Bits and pieces of non-sigcov are often woven together to form a synthesis to make the person sound notable (this often would include misrepresenting sources and simply making up original research.
			*:::Back to ''Inchling''...I don't have time at the moment to do an in-depth source analysis table for 21 (refbombing is also often a problem with these articles) however they seem to be hyper-local coverage in a weekly tabloid (Carmel Pine Cone), press releases in other local publications and books by marginal presses like Acadia or Valley Press, or user-submitted content on TFAO. I think redirecting or merging to the playwrights article is the best solution. ] (]) 16:33, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
			*:::: I still question whether e.g. the ''Pine Cone'' is unusable solely for being local, but as there do seem to be some issues I'll take a step back and let others deal with the articles. ] (]) 16:48, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
			*:::::BeanieFan, thanks for offering to step back from this complicated and time consuming clean up situation. FYI, I just had a quick look at the Goold biography and want to share my thoughts. It is part of the Carmel ] that was identified by multiple editors and administrators. It's a fluffed and puffed creation of a person who was simply living his life and doing his job. City trustees and board members do not have inherent notability as politicians, nor do bankers.
			*:::::Here are the problems with the sourcing. There is one decent source, the bio in the 1925 Watkins book. The "NPS" source is not about him, it is a mention of a building associated with him, people don't inherit notability from buildings, and it is questionable if the building itself is notable, it's not on the NRHP. Additionally, the source is misrepresented as the National Park System, but it is really from the California Parks and Recreation Department. The Hale and Dramov sources are from questionable presses, and the rest of the sources are hyper-local weekly tabloid and/or press releases.
			*:::::Also I want you to know that I deeply respect the work you do on DYK and in saving articles that are notable, even if the subject may seem obscure. I like doing that too, and have saved quite a few such as ], ], ], ] and others. My best wishes to you, and see you around! ] (]) 17:04, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

			Hello! Doing new page patrol for the massive amount of sports biographies has reminded me about the effort to get some of them fleshed out with existent but hard-to-find significant coverage. It's not really my area of expertise, but you've been doing good work toward making that happen. Are we still considering a broader effort to get these cleaned up through an event or drive, or something similar?

The main issue was that I'm not sure exactly how to go about starting up a new competition, especially in getting decent participation, etc...

			The ] has now been running for two months, and we've seen tremendous improvement in the encyclopedic coverage of several underrepresented areas from a wide range of editors! The coordinators would like to highlght some of the newer faces who have been making notable contributions in the contest, including but by no means limited to:
			* {{DCWC participant|Arconning}} – 386 points, with several ] primarily relating to the Olympics
			* {{DCWC participant|Vigilantcosmicpenguin}} – 141 points, who created multiple articles about abortion rights and laws in African countries
			* {{DCWC participant|TheNuggeteer}} – 126 points, who has contributed to several articles associated with the Phillippines
			* {{DCWC participant|Jaguarnik}} – 125 points, with several good article reviews and an appearance in the ] section of the Main Page
			* {{DCWC participant|Averageuntitleduser}} – 119 points, and has written about several Haitian topics and historical figures.
			Only one month remains until the end of the contest, so it's time to make your remaining nominations! Please consider answering some ''']''', particularly the older entries, as a way of helping out your fellow participants and moving up the leaderboard. Good luck!

All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least '''31 countries''' (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

			I do love how full your userpage header is, with all those top icons, but I think it, in a way, takes away from your successes because I don't think anybody is actually trying to count the GA and DYK icons on your page because of how many there are. Have you considered something similar to what Gonzo has (see ])?

			==Mass de-PRODding==
			Hello, BeanieFan11,
			I just wanted to let you know that I suggested to that editor to use PROD rather than sending dozens of articles to AFD. This was because no one was participating in these AFDs about dart players and they all filled up the daily log and had to be relisted. I thought it would be easier to PROD these articles and if anyone wanted to work on them, they could be easily restored through REFUND. So, they were following my advice to do so. <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">]</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">] ]</sup> 23:08, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
			* I think both the mass PROD route and the mass AFD route is inappropriate. The user seems to have done zero BEFORE search (they refused over three times to answer the basic question of 'have you done a BEFORE?') and several of them proved to be clearly notable when actual effort was put in (e.g. ]; and while ] hasn't been closed yet there's multiple stories calling him Ireland's greatest ever darts player, a household name, etc.). IMO, even if articles aren't in the best shape, when a good chunk are likely notable mass removal without any effort to verify notability is not a good idea. ] (]) 23:35, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

			== Mass dart player PROD reversal ==
			Hello, BeanieFan11.
			I noticed you recently removed PROD templates from a bunch of dart player’s pages citing that a proper BEFORE was not done according to your research.
			As you requested, ItsKesha brought those articles to AfD, where editors like me are trying to figure out if they are notable.
			Currently, from the research of us !voters on AfD, it seems as if all or most of them are only mentioned in automated databases, with no human having written about them in detail meeting SIGCOV besides the creation of the article.
			However, I was wondering why you believed ItsKesha’s BEFORE was insufficient - did you find any sources that they missed to indicate this? (not that you needed to provide a valid rationale from dePRODing, it’s totally optional).
			You are also welcomed to contribute on AfD.
			Thank you for your time! ] (]) 10:12, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
			:It’s just that over on AfD we’re trying to figure out if any sources were missed. Thanks again for your time! :) ] (]) 10:17, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
			:: I based the removals on ] ]; I find it highly likely that no BEFORE was performed, given that well over ''100'' articles were nominated en masse in a few minutes (how would ''anyone'' be able to do a proper BEFORE in that timeframe, especially for historical ones?) and ItsKesha outright ''refused'' on ''numerous'' occasions to answer the basic question of 'have you done a BEFORE'. I only gave a proper look to a few but several of them turned out to be clearly notable (e.g. ], as well as ] who has multiple newspaper articles calling him the greatest Irish darts player in history). There's the possibility that many may ''not'' be notable, and that's why I don't object to AFDs (although it'd be nice if they were of a reasonable quantity – i.e. not all at once) – but surely a good number of notable ones were going to be lost in the process given how little effort was put in which is not appropriate in my opinion. ] (]) 15:23, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

			== Skating ==
			Helli @] I thought I would message you regarding the current discussions surrounding ice skating AFDs. I don't know if you have noticed (if you haven't then this message is pointless!) but I have been involved with some of these discussions and have voted delete on several. As you have been so friendly and helpful towards me in the past, I wanted to assure you that I have not, and never would, vote to delete any article without doing the best checking for coverage that I could. As you may recall I had a number of my articles deleted last year and I would never back deleting anyone else's work without thought as has been suggested by Moscow Connection. Anyway I just wanted to offer and explanation as I would not want you to think badly of me. Best wishes. ] (]) 17:06, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
			* Thanks for the message. I appreciate that there's at least someone doing decent searches for some of these ice skating articles, and I do agree that a decent number may be non-notable. My main concerns with the user's AFDs is that there's such a large number of them (well over ) and for many of them, the only users to comment are ones I don't trust as much to do a proper search. A good example of what I mean would be this: ]. A German national silver medalist from the offline era which receives only two comments – a "redirect" without explanation and another "redirect" whose only rationale is "Should not remain an article." Another example would be ]: two !votes, one of which is "Fail to meet criteria ... No medals ... No sources which meet WP:V," and the other is "per above." I don't think, in those examples, a proper search was done, whereas sometimes when newspaper searches were done, the subject turned out to have clear notability, such as in ]. But anyways, thanks for the explanation. ] (]) 17:56, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

Wow!

Just thought I'd stop by to say "Wow". I haven't been so active in recent months, but when I come back from time to tine I see all your great work on historical football topics. It is great to see someone relatively new working so diligently in this area and generating quality work. Cbl62 (talk) 16:55, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

I wasn't actually notified by the user that it was rejected, but thanks for asking for clarification on the reasoning for rejection - the same user rejected another draft of mine Draft:Craig Angelos (the athletic director of Hawaii), and I was not able to get any more detail on that one either. I'm not going to ask you to review them - that can be a lengthy process - but could you maybe make a similar request there? If there's specific feedback, I can try and correct any issues, so it's disappointing when nothing specific is given.

Z1720 (talk) 00:31, 7 August 2024 (UTC) AFDs Hello, BeanieFan11, Lately, it seems like I've seen you make valuable comments in AFD discussions but you don't cast a "vote". Is there a reason why? I hope it has nothing to do with keeping a high AFD agreement percentage but that doesn't seem like something you'd care about. As a frequent AFD closer, I'd appreciate it if you would take a stand on what you think should happen with articles because I know you do your homework and make a thoughtful decision. Thank you. Liz 05:40, 7 August 2024 (UTC) @Liz: Its mainly because of how disorganized the notability criteria for sports has become. I usually comment on ones which I feel have a very good chance of being notable. Due to the changes in NSPORT, though, one is not supposed to be allowed to be kept until it is 'demonstrated that SIGCOV exists', something that can be absurd in some situations. I try to only vote on the ones which have been demonstrated to have SIGCOV, or, failing that, a very strong argument otherwise for its keeping. For many of them (especially older, foreign topics), while they have a very high chance of being notable, I don't feel right voting 'keep' when there hasn't been sufficient coverage demonstrated and I can't think of a strong enough argument to keep. BeanieFan11 (talk) 14:32, 7 August 2024 (UTC) (talk page stalker) Historically, voting keep at too many borderline AfDs just gets you badgered and your creations targeted (if you have any). Less stressful to just comment sometimes. Beanie was brought to ANI a few years ago when he really didn't even do anything. The reporting user was interaction-banned in a separate discussion later for hounding Beanie. That's not the only person who has targeted Beanie either. No sanctions came out of the other case though. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 19:29, 7 August 2024 (UTC) Well, if true, that's just tragic. No one should be harrassed for comments at an AFD discussion unless they are clearly AI-generated or they are just a series of "per nom" votes. Sorry you had to deal with that, BeanieFan11. Being called to ANI is no fun at all. But I appreciate your thoughtful response here to my query. I understand your position, I wish some other editors took AFDs as seriously as you do.

I added the the stuff I'd been working on over in my sandbox though, team work 💪 -- NotCharizard 17:44, 10 August 2024 (UTC) Notcharizard, and that’s why it’s better to create content in draft space. Had you done so, it would have been shown to Beanie that someone is already working on the article. It doesn’t show if the content sits in a sandbox somewhere. Schwede66 18:49, 10 August 2024 (UTC) @Schwede66 I always make things in my sandbox first while I’m just find resources, so I don’t make a draft for a topic who turns out not to be notable enough :) Otherwise I’d have quite a few abandoned drafts! Once I’m sure the topic’s notable, I create a draft, which in this case is when I found out an article has just been made! I feel like you’re trying to lecture me, but I stand by this method and it’s not a big deal at all that this happened, I found it pretty funny! -- NotCharizard 04:04, 11 August 2024 (UTC) I’m not lecturing you. All I did is tell you of a way of preventing such double ups. You can work the way that suits you best. Having articles in draft space that you don’t get over the notability threshold is not a problem either; you can just ask for them to be deleted.

BorgQueen (talk) 00:04, 15 August 2024 (UTC) If you're going to get involved… …you ought to familiarize yourself with the situation, where the article creator was recently WP:CBANNED for countless hours of timesinks via COI/UPE going back more than a decade creating a walled garden of over 400 articles cited mostly to poor-quality sources. Some of us are trying to clean up the encyclopedia and it's a massive effort. Please refer to: WP:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard/Archive 163#Greghenderson2006 WP:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1149#Proposed article-space block Greghenderson2006 WP:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive362#Partial Unblock Request (Greghenderson2006) WP:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1163#Topic Ban or Site Block, Greghenderson2006 Left guide (talk) 22:10, 15 August 2024 (UTC) I don't have the time to read through all that. What specifically is wrong with Charles O. Goold and Inchling (the two I restored) – they looked relatively well-developed with sources that seemed decent? (Also, what COI could he have with a century old children's play?) BeanieFan11 (talk) 22:18, 15 August 2024 (UTC) Some of the issues with Greg's articles is they sometimes use unreliable sources, fail verification and/or the claims are exaggerated so you have do a thorough review. The COI is his him writing about his family, related people and topics. I notice in the article about Goold, a book published by Arcadia Publishing is used, which often is not a reliable source and heavy reliance on the hyper-local newspaper the Carmel Pine Cone. S0091 (talk) 14:20, 16 August 2024 (UTC) Thank you S0091. We have someone who appears to be new to this walled garden innocuously "defending" a couple of Greg's articles without having a full awareness of the situation. @Netherzone: as the one who added the notability tag to Inchling along with years of experience dealing with these sources and this topic area, would you mind briefly explaining the problems with the sources and the ways they are being used? You tend to articulate source analysis better than I can. Left guide (talk) 15:57, 16 August 2024 (UTC) My concern is: are the issues really that serious that they need to be mass removed by the dozens? Have Arcadia and the Pine Cone been determined to be unreliable? We've got very few editors who write decent articles on historical topics, so we better get it right if we decide that its necessary to mass throw them out. BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:00, 16 August 2024 (UTC) When there's 400+ articles worth of these similar sets of sources, and most of us would rather spend time doing other things of a more personal preference on Misplaced Pages and in real life, it's extraordinarily difficult to do anything other than mass removal. Ironically, Pine Cone and Arcadia are probably the two sources that have been discussed the most ad nauseum on endless rounds of talk page discussions, with Greg being the only one who believed they were reliable for establishing notability, in his own extremely persistent way. Left guide (talk) 16:19, 16 August 2024 (UTC) Arcadia Publishing has been discussed a few times at RSN and needs to be used with extreme caution because often the authors are not recognized experts and often they have a vested interest in promoting the subject. Some editors have noted factual errors. I came across one that was written by a local real estate agent. I am not sure the issue with Pine Cone is reliability as much as its use to establish notability given it is hyper local publication. These sources have been discussed with Greg and at various AfDs several times and consensus I believe has consistently been neither can be used to establish notability. S0091 (talk) 16:27, 16 August 2024 (UTC) Hello @BeanieFan11, yes, @Left guide is correct. The articles are not "decent" if sources are misrepresented enmass and unreliable sources are used in the majority of them. If you do decide to take the time to investigate in depth, read through the talk page archives of the editor. The problems with COI go all the way back to 2007 and later with UPE editing, and the sourcing issues (part of the block) run the course. Personally, I see no issue whatsoever with the redirect, and I doubt the Inchling article would survive an AfD. Re: the biography, many of the bios were written about local people who were simply doing their job and are not notable. Bits and pieces of non-sigcov are often woven together to form a synthesis to make the person sound notable (this often would include misrepresenting sources and simply making up original research. Back to Inchling...I don't have time at the moment to do an in-depth source analysis table for 21 (refbombing is also often a problem with these articles) however they seem to be hyper-local coverage in a weekly tabloid (Carmel Pine Cone), press releases in other local publications and books by marginal presses like Acadia or Valley Press, or user-submitted content on TFAO. I think redirecting or merging to the playwrights article is the best solution. Netherzone (talk) 16:33, 16 August 2024 (UTC) I still question whether e.g. the Pine Cone is unusable solely for being local, but as there do seem to be some issues I'll take a step back and let others deal with the articles. BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:48, 16 August 2024 (UTC) BeanieFan, thanks for offering to step back from this complicated and time consuming clean up situation. FYI, I just had a quick look at the Goold biography and want to share my thoughts. It is part of the Carmel walled garden that was identified by multiple editors and administrators. It's a fluffed and puffed creation of a person who was simply living his life and doing his job. City trustees and board members do not have inherent notability as politicians, nor do bankers. Here are the problems with the sourcing. There is one decent source, the bio in the 1925 Watkins book. The "NPS" source is not about him, it is a mention of a building associated with him, people don't inherit notability from buildings, and it is questionable if the building itself is notable, it's not on the NRHP. Additionally, the source is misrepresented as the National Park System, but it is really from the California Parks and Recreation Department. The Hale and Dramov sources are from questionable presses, and the rest of the sources are hyper-local weekly tabloid and/or press releases. Also I want you to know that I deeply respect the work you do on DYK and in saving articles that are notable, even if the subject may seem obscure. I like doing that too, and have saved quite a few such as Scovern Hot Springs, Bernadette Vigil, Piñon, Colorado, Bucket of Blood Street and others. My best wishes to you, and see you around! Netherzone (talk) 17:04, 16 August 2024 (UTC) I hate to beat a dead horse over here, but just for the record, that 1925 Watkins book is published by S. J. Clarke which according to its Misplaced Pages article is a self-publishing firm and thus WP:SPS, (but even if I'm somehow mistaken, it wouldn't be enough on its own to establish notability especially since it also appears to be an indiscriminate source) and that was one of the factors involved in my initial decision to redirect. Thanks as always to Netherzone for the skillful mediation, and to BeanieFan11 for being willing to listen and communicate with the community. Left guide (talk) 20:14, 16 August 2024 (UTC) Not a dead horse at all, Left guide, since I am pretty sure it has been used in other articles. BeanieFan, sorry to take up your talk page with this.

For WP:Articles for deletion/Tai Lavatai, a basic Google search yielded a Fox Sports news archive showing 19 instances of SIGCOV from various outlets over a span of 2.5 years. The other two are: WP:Articles for deletion/Alex Flinn (American football) WP:Articles for deletion/Zion Webb Thought you might be interested in saving them.

BorgQueen (talk) 00:03, 4 September 2024 (UTC) Revisiting the improvement of sports stubs Hello! Doing new page patrol for the massive amount of sports biographies has reminded me about the effort to get some of them fleshed out with existent but hard-to-find significant coverage. It's not really my area of expertise, but you've been doing good work toward making that happen. Are we still considering a broader effort to get these cleaned up through an event or drive, or something similar? I'd really like for Category:Sports biographies lacking sources containing significant coverage to be cleared, and obviously it would be better to do that through high quality articles over deletion if it's feasible. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 21:02, 4 September 2024 (UTC) @Thebiguglyalien: I still hope eventually to do it, although I haven't really made progress in the past months to be honest. I still have the format I made here, though I'd likely make some changes and re-organizing (I think I made scoring too complicated). The main issue was that I'm not sure exactly how to go about starting up a new competition, especially in getting decent participation, etc... I don't have much time right now, but I can think about ways to do it – maybe we could shoot for December or January as a time to hold it?

Hey man im josh (talk) 15:33, 7 October 2024 (UTC) Administrator Elections: Call for Candidates Administrator Elections | Call for Candidates The administrator elections process has officially started! Interested editors are encouraged to self-nominate or arrange to be nominated by reviewing the instructions at Misplaced Pages:Administrator elections/October 2024/Call for candidates. Here is the schedule: October 8–14 - Candidate sign-up (we are here) October 22–24 - Discussion phase October 25–31 - SecurePoll voting phase Please note the following: The requirements to run are identical to RFA—a prospective candidate must be extended confirmed. Prospective candidates are advised to become familar with the community's expectations of adminstrators, which are much higher than the minimum requirement of having extended confirmed status. This includes reviewing successful and unsuccessful RFAs, reading the essay Misplaced Pages:Advice for RfA candidates, and possibly requesting an optional poll on their chances of passing. The process will have a one week call for candidates phase, a one week pause to set up SecurePoll, a three-day period of public discussion, followed by 7 days of no public discussion and a private vote using SecurePoll. The outcomes of this process are identical to making requests for adminship. There is no official difference between an administrator appointed through RFA or administrator elections. Administrator elections are also a valid means of regaining adminship for de-sysopped editors. Ask any questions about the process at the talk page. A separate user talk message will be sent to official candidates with additional information about the process. To avoid sending too many messages, this will be the last mass message sent about administrator elections. If you are interested in the process, please make sure to watchlist the appropriate pages. A watchlist notice will be added when the discussion phase opens, and again when the voting phase opens. You're receiving this message because you signed up for the mailing list. To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself from the list. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:35, 8 October 2024 (UTC) DYK nomination of Chris Collier Hello!

Not like I'm going to be competing for the top spot in the WikiCup, but I was curious how many articles you have prepped and ready to nominate. Is there a reason you haven't nominated a bunch earlier in this round? I see, I believe, 8 from December of last year that you had received feedback on but had withdrawn due to being busy and having a bit of burnout. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:46, 17 October 2024 (UTC) I was actually just preparing to nominate a few when I noticed your message – I've been meaning to do some nominations recently (and work on the old ones) but got a bit carried away with other work – to answer your question, I had previously wrote up a list of about c. 15-20 likely GAs that are ready to be nominated (and a good number of others that I intend on working on in the upcoming days). BeanieFan11 (talk) 14:41, 17 October 2024 (UTC) 20 eh? So 700 points assuming no bonuses, which would be 1 point short of first.

AusLondonder (talk) 16:33, 21 October 2024 (UTC) When someone rapidly PRODs well over 100 Olympian articles within minutes and admits that they did not do any BEFORE search whatsoever – and the only explanation given for PRODing is something listed as a argument to avoid in deletion discussions, dePRODing on that basis is certainly valid.

As a reminder, the schedule of the election is: October 22–24 - Discussion phase October 25–31 - SecurePoll voting phase November 1–? - Scrutineering phase During October 22–24, we will be in the discussion phase. The candidate subpages will open to questions and comments from everyone, in the same style as a request for adminship. You may discuss the candidates at Misplaced Pages:Administrator elections/October 2024/Discussion phase. On October 25, we will start the voting phase. The candidate subpages will close again to public questions and discussion, and everyone will have a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for. Please note that the vote tallies cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see an individual candidate's tally during the election. The suffrage requirements are different from those at RFA. Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last for an indeterminate amount of time, perhaps a week or two. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, a candidate must have received at least 70.0% support, calculated as Support / (Support + Oppose). As this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions ("crat chats"). Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation.

Tak Yong-bin: How do you know he fails GNG? Did you look at even a single North Korean news source from the time?

The fact was ... that the only two Venezuelans ever to make the NFL, Pat Ragusa and Alan Pringle, played a combined total of four games? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Pat Ragusa.

RoySmith (talk) 00:03, 26 October 2024 (UTC) Your WikiCup submission: Template:Did you know nominations/Mathias Nkwenti Hi BeanieFan11, thanks for participating in the WikiCup. You recently submitted Template:Did you know nominations/Mathias Nkwenti for DYK points, but unfortunately it is not eligible for DYK points because it was nominated to DYK as a newly promoted GA. I know this can be disappointing, but Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Scoring#Did you know? states that only newly created or expanded DYKs are eligible for DYK points. The rules specifically exclude DYK submissions from receiving points if their appearance on DYK is solely because the article was a newly promoted GA. Epicgenius (talk) 00:57, 26 October 2024 (UTC) @Epicgenius: I left a comment at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiCup/History/2024/Submissions/BeanieFan11; it could have qualified as either a 5x expansion or GA. BeanieFan11 (talk) 00:58, 26 October 2024 (UTC) @BeanieFan11, thanks for your response. I'm double-checking the nomination again, but in the future, please nominate it as a 5x expansion if it's a fivefold expansion (even if it's also a newly promoted GA). If you nominate the article for DYK solely based on it being promoted to GA status, it would not be eligible. – Epicgenius (talk) 01:01, 26 October 2024 (UTC) After taking a look, I can confirm that the article did meet the 5x eligibility criterion at the time of nomination. I apologize and have restored your points. However, I should caution against nominating a 5x expansion as a newly promoted GA next time - I would rather grant you the points if it's actually eligible, rather than mistakenly denying you the points.

Have you considered something similar to what Gonzo has (see User talk:Gonzo fan2007)? Personally I have no idea how many GAs and DYKs you have because of this, and I think it could actually help to showcase this a bit better. Just a suggestion, but obviously we all have our own preferences and style! Hey man im josh (talk) 13:36, 28 October 2024 (UTC) I've been thinking about that recently – I lost count of my GAs and DYKs as well! :) – after the WikiCup I plan on reorganizing my userpage so it's not so cluttered.

This was because no one was participating in these AFDs about dart players and they all filled up the daily log and had to be relisted. I thought it would be easier to PROD these articles and if anyone wanted to work on them, they could be easily restored through REFUND. So, they were following my advice to do so. Liz 23:08, 30 October 2024 (UTC) I think both the mass PROD route and the mass AFD route is inappropriate. The user seems to have done zero BEFORE search (they refused over three times to answer the basic question of 'have you done a BEFORE?') and several of them proved to be clearly notable when actual effort was put in (e.g. Bill Lennard; and while Jack McKenna hasn't been closed yet there's multiple stories calling him Ireland's greatest ever darts player, a household name, etc.). IMO, even if articles aren't in the best shape, when a good chunk are likely notable mass removal without any effort to verify notability is not a good idea.

WikiCup 2024 November newsletter

Mass dart player PROD reversal

Hello, BeanieFan11.

I noticed you recently removed PROD templates from a bunch of dart player’s pages citing that a proper BEFORE was not done according to your research.

As you requested, ItsKesha brought those articles to AfD, where editors like me are trying to figure out if they are notable.

Currently, from the research of us !voters on AfD, it seems as if all or most of them are only mentioned in automated databases, with no human having written about them in detail meeting SIGCOV besides the creation of the article.

However, I was wondering why you believed ItsKesha’s BEFORE was insufficient - did you find any sources that they missed to indicate this? (not that you needed to provide a valid rationale from dePRODing, it’s totally optional).

You are also welcomed to contribute on AfD.

Thank you for your time! 2001:8003:4A10:601:4DE5:4E09:A5D1:B265 (talk) 10:12, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

It’s just that over on AfD we’re trying to figure out if any sources were missed. Thanks again for your time! :) 2001:8003:4A10:601:4DE5:4E09:A5D1:B265 (talk) 10:17, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

I based the removals on these discussions; I find it highly likely that no BEFORE was performed, given that well over 100 articles were nominated en masse in a few minutes (how would anyone be able to do a proper BEFORE in that timeframe, especially for historical ones?) and ItsKesha outright refused on numerous occasions to answer the basic question of 'have you done a BEFORE'. I only gave a proper look to a few but several of them turned out to be clearly notable (e.g. Bill Lennard, as well as Jack McKenna who has multiple newspaper articles calling him the greatest Irish darts player in history). There's the possibility that many may not be notable, and that's why I don't object to AFDs (although it'd be nice if they were of a reasonable quantity – i.e. not all at once) – but surely a good number of notable ones were going to be lost in the process given how little effort was put in which is not appropriate in my opinion.

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Derek Devine

I came across his redlink at 2011 Virginia Destroyers season. They didn't look very hard in that AfD. I found two more sources on a quick Google search. (). I haven't looked through the archives yet either (my newspapers.com is still messed up). ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 14:16, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

Here's another from Google () ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 14:21, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

There appears to be a decent amount of coverage on Newspapers.com. I could provide some clippings if you want to recreate it, or I could possibly recreate it at some point if you want (apparently he was cut from his college team, then played juco for two years, then was a third-string at Marshall for two years and only completed two passes () – interesting that he was able to sign with the Seahawks after such little experience.). BeanieFan11 (talk) 18:53, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

It would probably be best to have it refunded and moved to draft so either of us could work on it. Did you want to refund it or did you want me to? Thanks, ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 19:48, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

PRODs

Hello, BeanieFan11,

I appreciate all that you do on Misplaced Pages, your contributions are invaluable. However, it would make things smoother if you didn't wait until the last minute to de-PROD articles. The earlier you can do this, the better. Thanks! Liz 23:55, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

• I can try, but its a little difficult to keep up with all the PRODs and give them the proper attention when they're being done in large chunks (e.g. there's 22 active Olympian PRODs and several more added each day; it can take a decent bit of time to do proper searches for each, especially for ones in different languages, etc.).

Sorry to bug you, but do you mind doing a quick Newspapers.com search for Thaddeus Coleman's father Michael Coleman to see if he really spent time with the Saints and Redskins? This source says that but it was in the Misplaced Pages article before that source was published so they may have been copying Misplaced Pages.

• @Butters.From.SouthPark: Hmm... that's complicated – and I can't seem to find his birthdate either... Maybe something like Kyle Williams (Washington State wide receiver)? Of course, it'd need to be changed if he signs into the NFL... If you're reasonably sure he was born in e.g. the 2000s you could do Kyle Williams (wide receiver, born 2000s), although that doesn't seem certain.

Kevin Parks (American football)

Kevin Parks was good enough to get trading cards but doesn't have an article. I don't think he was even invited to an NFL rookie minicamp tryout, kind of odd (it might be because of his height, he has a PFR page somehow that says he is 5'6). This guy is the polar opposite of Derek Devine from above, who didn't play any in college but signed with an NFL team anyway. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 18:03, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

• I think I've seen a couple of guys with trading cards who did absolutely nothing beyond college (I've gotten quite a few no-name autographs in packs myself). Does seem kind of unusual that he got next to zero attention beyond college, since he seemed to have decent stats. According to he briefly played in the German Football League and was a signee to the failed Major League Football. Some other coverage: . BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:26, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

Articles created over drafts.

Can you get Yankees10 to stop creating articles when I already have drafts for them like in the cases of Robert Spears-Jennings, Maealiuaki Smith, Gunnar Helm, and Chris Paul Jr. just to name a few, as I have already asked him to do. Also when I did this he was very hypo critic about it and got the page deleted. Butters (talk) 23:35, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

• There isn't really a way to 'prevent' someone from creating an article over a draft. If you're concerned about the possibility of someone doing it – and you're completely certain of the player's notability – one thing you could do is start a stub with some references to demonstrate notability (e.g. infobox, a few sentences and a handful of pieces of significant coverage on the player, with the intention of coming back and expanding it a bit later). BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:47, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

@Butters.From.SouthPark: Dude then stop overwhelming yourself by starting all these drafts if you can't keep up with them. Simple as that. I never create drafts. If I find a player is notable I create them on spot, there is absolutely no reason for them to be started as drafts. You also literally start these drafts with just one sentence so I have no idea what you are complaining about. I just moved Andrew Armstrong (American football) from the draft space today because there is extensive info there. Another thing is you also start them on players coming off big games/NFL Draft buzz so what exactly do you expect when the article actually gets created?-- Yankees10 00:29, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

You also act as though I am doing this on purpose or with malicious intent which I don't appreciate. And one last thing: nobody is preventing you from enhancing these articles too but judging from your edit history you don't seem to have any interest in doing so and have one clear agenda on this site.-- Yankees10 00:41, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

It was not proper to create an article that had a pre-existing draft. Consider this a warning. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 23:17, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

• Did you intend on working on the one-sentence draft further? Taking a quick look at your history, it didn't seem clear that that would happen, given that you have a good number of other drafts that you haven't advanced any, e.g. Draft:Sergio Gor, Draft:Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine incident, Draft:2024 Venezuelan coup attempt allegations, etc. BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:38, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

Other drafts I created do not matter. Another editor had worked on the draft as well. I will state this only once: Do not create an article knowing full well that there is a draft. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 02:28, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

Since this time you've also started one/two-line drafts on Trump appointees Draft:Alex Latcham, Draft:Matt Brasseaux, Draft:James Braid (government official), Draft:Caleb Vitello, Draft:Brandon Judd, Draft:Tony Salisbury, Draft:Peter Lamelas, Draft:Michael Rigas, and Draft:Dan Newlin, none of which you've done any further work on. If you have no intention of actually writing these then I don't see why it'd be problematic for me to start new articles on them – given that I do give the ones I start decent articles. BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:58, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) I don't think there's a rule anywhere that says you have to use someone else's draft. I create a lot of my own articles in my userspace and then move them to mainspace. In that scenario, I wouldn't even be aware that there was already a draft. It doesn't matter much who gets the original credit anyway. People can see who did the work. Also, it slightly annoys me when people create redirects instead of leaving stuff as redlinks, then XTools says they have lots of articles created when they are actually just redirects that other people expanded. (like at List of players who appeared in only one game in the NFL (1920–1929) and List of players who appeared in only one game in the NFL (1930–1939)) ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 21:32, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

I work on drafts when I find the time to. I did not find suitable additional sources for Latcham, Brasseaux, Braid, Vitello, or Rigas and could not create an article on Judd or Newlin given that another editor had already done so. Since we're going to start assuming intentions here: Why are you intent on creating articles knowing full well that drafts exist? Is this to boast the number of articles you proudly display on your user page? I am telling you to work collaboratively and your first instinct is to try to paint this against me. All I'm asking is that you use the draftspace if there is already a draft; it is not a significant deal that should affect your ability to edit. It affects mine if you don't, because it's a waste of time to remove drafts that have become articles. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 05:19, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

The person who actually does the work and creates a decent article should be the one to get credited for creating the article. Why do you create so many drafts if you can't keep up with them and need others to do all the work aside from writing "Brandon Judd is an American law enforcement officer"? Doing that and then getting upset at anyone who creates their own article instead of expanding your one-sentence seems to indicate being very focused on getting credit more than me listing my contributions on my userpage.

Kurt Burris

A penny for your thoughts. Which of these do you prefer:

• ... that Kurt Burris was the first American football lineman to finish among the top two in the Heisman Trophy voting?
• ... that Kurt Burris, who finished second in the Heisman Trophy voting, was remembered as a "headhunter" who "usually knocked two or three guys out of a game"?
  

Or something else? Cbl62 (talk) 07:17, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

• @Cbl62: Hmmm... maybe the second is better since its more understandable to those who are not familiar with football positions? BeanieFan11 (talk) 17:06, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. I think the first is the more extraordinary fact, but probably not as understandable to those unfamiliar with the game. Cbl62 (talk) 18:08, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

Re: Vladimír Kinier

For modern European players (I'm talking internet era), where we have full-access to sources, can you find anyone with 260 top-flight appearances who is non-notable? Can you find a single modern European FIFA World Cup player for which there is no sigcov?

There are a few footballers with 100+ topflight appearances without significant coverage at all, most likely due to low level of sport played in the country. That being said, small population and interest in certain sport, especially tiny islands (e.g. Belize) as well as European microstates (e.g. Liechtenstein, San Marino, Vatican City, etc.) Imagine a footballer playing 200 matches for a football club in San Marino and didn't receive even single significant coverage, other than the fact they played their 100th/200th match...

⋆｡˚꒰ঌ Clara A. Djalim ໒꒱˚｡⋆ 14:42, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

• Not sure I completely understand your point, but my main argument there was that the odds of someone with so extensive experience not to have coverage – especially for a large football country (in this case, Czechslovakia – much different than e.g. San Marino) – is so incredibly slim that, given no sources from the time were searched, assuming coverage existed would be the only thing that made sense.

Thanks

Thanks for your edit on Laekin Vakalahi, I remember you from the Olympics. I’m not in the US so although I’ve been a fan of NFL for a few years it was my first attempt at starting a page for a player. I struggled to find info on notability expectations on IPP and practise squad and CFL players - do you have any insight on that? Cheers. G Hildreth gazzard (talk) 21:58, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

• Hi @Hildreth gazzard: – originally, the standard for American football players was that they had to appear in a regular season game in either the NFL or CFL, but that was abolished in 2022. Since then, the standard has only been WP:GNG. Now, usually I find that the vast majority of those who've played in CFL games are notable, while a decent majority of NFL practice squad players and those who have signed with NFL teams through IPP are notable as well – but they shouldn't be assumed notable without proof of significant coverage. It ultimately just comes down to whether there's enough for GNG. BeanieFan11 (talk) 00:05, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are now open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants will no longer be eliminated at the end of each round.

The first round will end on 26 February.

Skating

Helli @BeanieFan11 I thought I would message you regarding the current discussions surrounding ice skating AFDs. I don't know if you have noticed (if you haven't then this message is pointless!) but I have been involved with some of these discussions and have voted delete on several. As you have been so friendly and helpful towards me in the past, I wanted to assure you that I have not, and never would, vote to delete any article without doing the best checking for coverage that I could. As you may recall I had a number of my articles deleted last year and I would never back deleting anyone else's work without thought as has been suggested by Moscow Connection. Anyway I just wanted to offer and explanation as I would not want you to think badly of me. Best wishes. Shrug02 (talk) 17:06, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

• Thanks for the message. I appreciate that there's at least someone doing decent searches for some of these ice skating articles, and I do agree that a decent number may be non-notable. My main concerns with the user's AFDs is that there's such a large number of them (well over over 300 going back to May, mostly in a few massive batches, which included one of 50 AFDs in 30 minutes) and for many of them, the only users to comment are ones I don't trust as much to do a proper search. A good example of what I mean would be this: Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Jill Vernekohl. A German national silver medalist from the offline era which receives only two comments – a "redirect" without explanation and another "redirect" whose only rationale is "Should not remain an article." Another example would be Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Niko Ulanovsky: two !votes, one of which is "Fail to meet criteria ... No medals ... No sources which meet WP:V," and the other is "per above." I don't think, in those examples, a proper search was done, whereas sometimes when newspaper searches were done, the subject turned out to have clear notability, such as in Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Barbie Smith. But anyways, thanks for the explanation. BeanieFan11 (talk) 17:56, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

Sorry for piling on to your big red alerts but I noticed that we both have hooks on the main page today, Gerhard Schwedes and Armand Ceritano. Nice! I'm not sure if we've ever had hooks at the same time before or not... :) ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 18:53, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

I just checked and it looks like this has happened once before actually, Lou Rash and Trisha Stafford-Odom were both featured on the main page on 6 December 2024. I'll stop bugging you now. Thanks, ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 19:09, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

Prepped GA noms?

Hey Beanie. I was just curious, are you planning to keep a cache of prepped GA noms again, or, due to the changes in the cup this year, nominate them when they're ready instead? Hey man im josh (talk) 15:31, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

• Not sure what I'm going to do yet, since I used almost the entirety of my potential GAs last year... Might return to doing a bunch of Packers articles with Gonzo. I probably won't be waiting till the end of the competition to do them though, since the rule changes. BeanieFan11 (talk) 18:07, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

  I thought as much. I figured you might GA them sooner though since your work for getting them prepped for DYK pretty much involves getting them ready for GAN anyways. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:33, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
