Hi, I see you monitor for red-linked categories, idk if you were aware of WP:AIREDCAT? Ofc it's up to you, but idk if you may want to keep an eye out for repeat-offenders/suspicious users, no worries if not (tbh I bet you probably have to do it at speed so it's not possible, but I thought I'd check) Kowal2701 (talk, contribs) 17:20, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

Thank you very much for editing this article. Mzwandile Loyi-Naziri Ntshele (talk) 10:12, 19 August 2026 (UTC)

Oh wow I didn’t expect someone to see my draft. Thank you, what drew you to it? ButteyFelicity (talk) 18:08, 19 August 2026 (UTC)

The fact that you put it in categories, despite WP:DRAFTNOCAT, so it showed up on a DRAFTNOCAT cleanup report because it needed to be cleaned up. Don't overthink these things, eh? Bearcat (talk) 18:09, 19 August 2026 (UTC)

Oh oops. Didn’t know that. This is one of my drafts I’ve done with adding categories. Raskuly was one who added the categories in the right place when it’s a draft. “Don’t overthink these things, eh?” Ummm…no? I don’t get what you mean? 😅 ButteyFelicity (talk) 18:49, 19 August 2026 (UTC)

Assuming that anybody who happens to see your draft has to have been actively "drawn" to it, in ways that warranted asking them about it, instead of simply doing normal maintenance tasks... Bearcat (talk) 21:00, 19 August 2026 (UTC)

Ummm…I don’t get what you mean? I thought you were helping or something. I meant drawn to it since no one really edits my drafts or something. They are open and Im always happy to see it. It doesn’t take much to warrant a thank you from me or a question. I asked Raskuly to help me earlier on one of my drafts. But I did see looking at your talk page you do maintenance so I’ll leave ya alone. Sorry If i bothered you mate. ButteyFelicity (talk) 21:20, 19 August 2026 (UTC)

I'm sorry to bug you about this, but I've looked at the page a couple of times, and I can't for the life of me figure out which is the redlinked category. Every category I see showing there is showing as a bluelink to me.

I'm not trying to be obstreperous, I promise - I'm just trying to figure out where I've gone wrong.--Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 06:09, 23 August 2026 (UTC)

		Try as I might, I haven't managed to get even a single red-link category past you. I think it's about time I show a bit of thanks for tirelessly correcting all my accidental red links, and for the equally endless patience you've given me as I continue to fat-finger my way across the internet. Sesamehoneytart 21:06, 23 August 2026 (UTC)

Well, thanks, but...you do realize there's just a regular system report that lists all the redlinked categories, right? I'm not magical, I just work on a standard cleanup task that generates regular updates. But thanks anyway, wikilove is always appreciated. Bearcat (talk) 00:18, 24 August 2026 (UTC)

I'm sure it's similar to the one I review for image-request tags on articles with images, but you've also occasionally fixed typos and helped out where the intent was obvious. Just letting you know I see it and appreciate it. Sesamehoneytart 23:24, 28 August 2026 (UTC)

Hey, I'm currently working on Sebastian Cluer and The Office Movers' Wikipedia page, specifically their awards and nominations. I see on both The Office Movers and the 13th Canadian Screen Awards that The Office Movers was nominated for the Cogeco Fund Audience Choice award. I'm just wondering, where did you find that information? I've been trying to find a reliable source but I can't find one. If you can provide a URL that is reliable, it would be much appreciated.

Edit: If you can also find a source for the 14th Canadian Screen Awards Cogeco Fund Audience Choice nominees, it would also be appreciated. :)

Thanks,

There is no such thing as an "absolute notability lockdown". Notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. I cited multiple examples where someone met multiple criteria of WP:NMUSIC and their article was still deleted anyway. There is, further, absolutely no requirement that we have to be able to find "biographical" coverage... Yes there is. It's WP:BLP and must be followed on literally every biography; if anything at all is a "notability lockdown", it's that. I cited multiple examples where a creative met multiple criteria of WP:NCREATIVE or its offshoots, but failed the sourcing test and therefore had their article deleted.

I'm honestly baffled by your argument here. What makes you think WP:BLP can ever be bypassed? Ten Pound Hammer (they/them) • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 23:46, 27 August 2026 (UTC)

Precisely how would "won a notable award that was given directly to him in his own right" constitute an "inherited notability" argument at all? It would be an "inherited notability" if the claim were that he was notable because he happened to have produced an album that somebody else won an award for in a category where he was not directly named as a co-nominee in his own right — but if an award nomination was given directly to him, in his own name, then that's a "notable in his own right for his own achievements" argument, not an "inherits notability from happening to be associated with somebody else" argument.
And what we have to see is reliable source coverage about his work, such as reliable sources verifying his notable award nominations, and we do not have any rule requiring us to see coverage about his childhood or his schooling or his relationship with his parents or his private love life. Bearcat (talk) 00:00, 28 August 2026 (UTC)

Again, you completely dodged both issues. Notability is not automatic. There is no "absolute notability lockdown". He is "inheriting notability" by your argument, as one of the reasons you want to keep his article is that because works he is involved in can be confirmed to exist.

And we don't need to know every detail about his life; we just need to know enough that isn't just "his name is on this album". WP:BLP is not optional. We need to know at least something more than "he existed", and so far I'm not finding much. We don't even know what province or territory he's from, and surely we should at least be able to find that with ease. Ten Pound Hammer (they/them) • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 00:10, 28 August 2026 (UTC)

I completely dodged zero issues. An award nomination and/or win given directly to the subject himself, in his own name, is notability for his own achievements, not inheriting notability from somebody else's, because the award was given directly to him.
And no, again, we require coverage about his work, and do not have any requirement that we have to be able to find any details at all about his private personal life outside of the music. But regardless, gimme ten stinkin' minutes, because I just found exactly the information you said you can't find. Bearcat (talk) 00:25, 28 August 2026 (UTC)

A sincere thanks for walking the walk and beefing up the article with sources. I tried all kinds of keywords but could not find even the faintest of mentions beyond "produced by Gavin Brown". What was the magic trick for you? It looks much better now, and I'd withdraw if that didn't violate my topic ban.

I think I overreacted a bit too. Likely it was a bit of shellshock from AFDs past, and I apologize for that. Ten Pound Hammer (they/them) • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 03:49, 29 August 2026 (UTC)
