AFCH review

When accepting an article, please check the article's title and see if there might be better titles, and check to see if the better title has an article already. You recently accepted Dennis Mannion (New Hampshire Politician), but Dennis Mannion (politician) already existed. I made the new article a redirect. - UtherSRG (talk) 12:35, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

Scammer Payback

Hi, Newystats. Wanted to reach out about [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Scammer_Payback&diff=1151139964&oldid=1151031864 this]. I rarely questions someone's decision at AfC, but would like your feedback here. I would love this guy to have an article. In fact, I started a draft for him a few months back. Didn't publish as I found he simply didn't have enough references that meet WP:ANYBIO. Is there something I am not seeing here? CNMall41 (talk) 06:12, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

:The international coverage pushed it over the line for me, so there is the local Fox station News coverage, the The Siasat Daily, with coverage from the Indian end. There is (not in the refs in the article) coverage on Good Morning America. Newystats (talk) 07:21, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

::Thanks for the reply. I didn't see this as your talk page was not on my watchlist (it is now). I still think the coverage is thin but better than what I originally found. I am actually here to let you know I sent Medable to AfD. Wanted to give you a heads up since I see you approved it. The user's submission of Draft:WatchBox led me to it. The references look good on the surface but when I dug further I couldn't find any that added up for WP:ORGCRIT.

Regarding [[Draft:Ami Dror]]

{{ping|Newystats}} Greetings. Regarding Draft:Ami Dror, I believe you declining my submission on the grounds of sources is completely unjustified. In contrast to your claim, the article is sufficiently referenced and sufficiently sourced from numerous reliable news outlets from Israel, the U.S., China and India. These include The Times of Israel, The New York Times, CNBC, Fox Business, and there are more there such as articles in South China Morning Post, The Times of India, Haaretz, Calcalist, TheMarker and others, and these are just the ones that contribute to his notability from the entrepreneurial perspective without going into the many others in the Israeli press that refer to him being a leader in the ongoing struggle against judicial reform in Israel. Therefore, with that said, I don't think there is any room to doubt the notability of Ami Dror and I kindly ask that you reconsider your action and that you reinstate the article in the main namespace where it belongs. --Omer Toledano (talk) 14:58, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

:Please help reviewers by removing some of the refs that are not independent, such as ref 2 in the current draft. 55 is a lot of references to wade through to find the ones that establish notability. More refs is not always better. When you have so many refs, it is helpful to highlight on the Draft Talk page which ones establish notability. Newystats (talk) 21:22, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

::For example, this would be a stronger draft with only 1 of the refs 2,3,4 and only 1 of the refs 4,5,6 Newystats (talk) 21:24, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

:::{{ping|Newystats}} Per your spec, I have removed redundant sourcing and stated the case on the article talk page. I have gone ahead and resubmitted. --Omer Toledano (talk) 03:49, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

::::{{ping|Newystats}} Hi again, I've expanded about his activity and added an interview reference from Calcalist. Could you please advise? I don't see a justifiable reason for the constant rejection. Ami Dror is a notable figure in Israel. --Omer Toledano (talk) 08:39, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi Newystats. Thank you so much for your comments in Draft:Liu Haowei . According to your instruction, I made some revision again. Kindly waiting for your further review. Best regards. Vanessa1014 (talk) 02:09, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

November Articles for creation backlog drive

Image:AFC-Logo.svg

Hello Newystats:

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.

You may find :Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.

There is a backlog of over {{Rounddown|{{formatnum:{{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pending AfC submissions}}|R}}|-2}} pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:24, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

duplication?

This recently accepted page Chola invasion of the Anuradhapura Kingdom seems to duplicating a long standing existing page: Chola conquest of Anuradhapura. I think the new article should be redirected to the already accepted version which is better referenced and less politicised/nationalistic. Phrases such as 'Catastrophic Chola defeat' and the overall result being a "chola defeat' have a Sri Lankan nationalistic tinge not fitting of an encyclopaedia. Metta79 (talk) 11:59, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

:Thanks for noticing @Metta79 - I tried seeing if the draft page was a candidate for merging, but missed finding Chola conquest of Anuradhapura. I agree, and will replace the content with a redirect. Newystats (talk) 22:43, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

John Haidar

I noticed that you re-edited the career section of John Haidar to include a negative review, which you'd published previously on the assumption it would mean the entry didn't function as an "ad". As noted in the most recent edit, it seems unnecessary to post a negative review, in accordance with comparable Wikipedia entries of artists and theatremakers. In effect, it feels deliberately targeted for this reason. Would you mind avoiding changing it back, please? It would be really appreciated. Dickens90 (talk) 09:32, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

:If you can identify other theatremaker articles that only include the good reviews and leave out the negative ones, I'm willing to add the negative reviews there as well. Wikipedia is not a CV, and if a person is notable in wikipedia terms, covered in independent secondary sources, the most likely sort of coverage is a mix of good and bad reviews. Do you have an interest in the page on John Haidar only including one good review, rather than one good and one bad review? Newystats (talk) 08:44, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

"Ami Dror"

Draft:Ami Dror

As Israeli, I find it absurde that the English page about this person is defined by you as "not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia.". Dror is one of the key leaders in Israel, Personaly I'm part of a comunitry of close to 100,000 people that follow him daily on his whatsapp groups. (check is social media) - he is being quated and interviewed almost every day etc etc. https://x.com/faniaoz/status/1771595428573712817?s=20

I edited parts that were wrong, and this page need to be restored ASAP as it makes Wikipedia looks like a political tool which tries to hide the people that are working to change the Israeli goverment.

What is needed is multiple, independent (of the subject), reliable secondary sources. Each of those requirements are required. See WP:PERSON for details about what each of those requirements mean, add those sources to the draft page and submit it for another review. Newystats (talk) 04:56, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Deletion discussion about [[Faaimata Hiliau]]

Hello Newystats, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Faaimata Hiliau, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Faaimata Hiliau.

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Clearfrienda}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)
