I attempted to add a new criteria for Template:CSD summary, the LLMs. I believe I've written the code correctly and the category certainly gets populated, but for some reason the # of current members doesn't ever include a quantity. Can you show me what I've clearly missed? BusterD (talk) 12:36, 29 December 2025 (UTC)

@BusterD: It looks like there was an extra "Category:" prefix, which is already implicitly included in {{PAGESINCAT}}. I removed it and it seems to work now. Cheers, ^Complex/_Rational 15:20, 29 December 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I would like to request the undeletion of this page. The page was recently deleted on the ground of notability. There is a full-length monograph on the subject published by Sahitya Akademi, India's National Academy of Letters, which is enough to establish notability. Can you please move the article to draftspace so I can work on it? --Gazal world (talk) 19:49, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

@Gazal world: I've undeleted the page and moved it to Draft:Narhar Ambadas Kurundkar, where you can work on it and add additional sources (which were not found during the AfD) that may demonstrate notability. ^Complex/_Rational 22:31, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

Thank you very much, ComplexRational. --Gazal world (talk) 18:42, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi, I think this revision needs to be deleted under RD2 as an unsourced BLP violation. Thanks, ScalarFactor (talk) 01:22, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

@ScalarFactor: I don't believe this falls within the purview of RD2: although it violates WP:BLPCRIME, some reliable sources do exist, and they are not grossly misrepresented in a manner that is insulting or degrading. On the other hand, some source material was copied verbatim, so I've deleted under RD1. ^Complex/_Rational 01:55, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for handling that - I had only seen the first unsourced edition, not the later additions from the TA when making this request. Hope you're having a good new year. ScalarFactor (talk) 01:57, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

Happy 2026 to you as well! ^Complex/_Rational 04:23, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

Hello, I am writing to kindly request a reconsideration of the deleted Blooket Wiki article. The article included reliable sources for citation. Several references came from well-established and trusted wiki platforms, including major Fandom wikis that are commonly used as secondary sources for online game documentation. Because of the use of recognized wiki references and proper sourcing, I believe the article meets basic citation standards. I respectfully request that you review the article again and consider undeleting it. Hosterr (talk) 12:00, 16 January 2026 (UTC)

@Hosterr: The deletion discussion resulted in a unanimous consensus for deletion. Sources such as Fandom are user-generated and not considered among reliable sources for demonstrating notability. Reliable sources must be published by organizations with a reputation for fact-checking and must not be affiliated with the subject; moreover, no number of unreliable sources can compensate for the absence of reliable ones. As such, I will not undelete the article, and I must advise you that a recreated version will very likely be deleted on the same grounds. Let me know if you have any other questions. ^Complex/_Rational 21:21, 17 January 2026 (UTC)

Every content about blooket on entire web is uses generated and fan created content. Is there any solution for this ? Hosterr (talk) 03:05, 18 January 2026 (UTC)

In that case – if there is no significant coverage about Blooket in independent, reliable sources – Wikipedia is not the appropriate place for an article about it. ^Complex/_Rational 22:38, 18 January 2026 (UTC)

DG197 (talk) 16:26, 29 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi, I am writing to you because you warned me for editing the Vanadium page without a neutral point of view.

I know that the NPOV is very important to the knowledge, but my edit consisted of adding information about the name of the element, specifically erythronium, which was its original name.

I have more prestigious sources for that name. I will add the information again with these additional sources.

I believe that Wikipedia has to be fair to history and to the person who deserves the credit.

EDIT: and you justified your change with "nobody uses that name today". That is totally irrelevant, you can find that name in english sources and I will probe it.

DG197 (talk) 16:26, 29 January 2026 (UTC)

@DG197: The original name erythronium is not used in contemporary scientific literature or textbooks. Wikipedia articles reflect IUPAC recommendations for element names and must not give undue weight to historic or alternate names. Mentioning them in the opening sentence would give readers the wrong impression that they are still in widespread international use today; the opening sentence should be a very succinct definition or contextualization of the article subject. In the same vein, we do not call element 71 cassiopeium or element 105 hahnium; those are only mentioned in the body of the article, or at most later in the opening section. For vanadium, the name erythronium is already mentioned in the history section; feel free to add details or additional sources there, but it does not belong at the very beginning of the article.

And as a side note, you don't need to reply on both your talk page and mine, so as not to fragment discussions. –a sock of ComplexRational (talk) 19:57, 29 January 2026 (UTC)

Welcome to Phase 2 of the January–February 2026 NPP drive. During Phase 1, we reviewed 16,658 articles and 4,416 redirects, and there is currently a backlog of 16,475 articles and 23,782 redirects in the queue. Fantastic job! Completing 22,502 patrols in the first phase made a significant dent in the backlog. Let's keep our foot on the gas for Phase 2, and I hope we can achieve even more reviews than Phase 1. Best of luck!

Arbitration

• Due to the result of a recent motion, a rough consensus of administrators at the arbitration enforcement noticeboard may impose an expanded topic ban on Israel, Israelis, Jews, Judaism, Palestine, Palestinians, Islam, and/or Arabs, if an editor's Arab-Israeli conflict topic ban is determined to be insufficient to prevent disruption. At least one diff per area expanded into should be cited.

Wow, that's a depressing line from the paper: Production rates are expected to drop from atoms per week for Og down to atoms per year for elements 119 and 120 at modern-day facilities, or atoms per decade for even heavier elements. Well, maybe not totally depressing. I didn't know you could get atoms per week for Og. Still, they started working on 120 in 2025, so maybe there's hope we'll hear some good news this year.

Hi ComplexRational,

I work with the Plaksha team and found our page was deleted due to not meeting Wikipedia guidelines.

Link: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Plaksha University

We have created a new draft which is more neutral and verifiable. Given the circumstances, we would like to get it reviewed before attempting to publish. I apologise if this is not the right forum or approach, but your guidance on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

Our reasons for a Plaksha University page:

- Both are chancellor and vice-chancellor have pages on wikipedia, along with many of our full-time professors

- Many/most of our founders have pages on Wikipedia.

- We have verifiable tie-ups with reputed international institutes.

- We have raised nearly $300 million dollars in funding, making us a premier private insititute in India.

Given how many notable personalities are deeply involved with Plaksha, we believe it passes the check for notability. I have a full list of sources and references for the same.

Do let me know how we can go about this, and if should share the draft with you. I am unfamiliar with the process as this is my first time on the editor side of Wikipedia.

Many thanks!
