Draft:Merel Family Law — clarification request

Hi Fancy Refrigerator,

Thank you for taking the time to review Draft:Merel Family Law and for the clear feedback. I want to make sure I understand what would meaningfully strengthen the draft before I attempt any revisions, rather than resubmitting prematurely.

When you have a moment, I'd be grateful for any additional guidance on two specific points:

1. Of the sources currently cited, were there any you considered borderline (close to meeting NCORP but not quite), or did none of them substantially clear the bar? I'm trying to understand whether the gap is a few stronger sources or a more fundamental sourcing problem.

2. For a law firm of this size and profile, what kinds of sources tend to satisfy NCORP in your experience? I want to make sure that any additional sources I pursue are genuinely the right kind, rather than more of what's already there.

I'm a paid contributor (disclosed on my user page and the draft's talk page), and my goal is to do this properly rather than push for a marginal article. If the honest answer is that the subject isn't yet ready for an article, I'd rather hear that and let the draft sit until the sourcing actually develops.

Thanks again for your time. Connorlane (talk) 21:36, 30 April 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Connorlane. Primary sources and press releases are not independent and should not be used for notability purposes. Right now, most of the sources are either primary or press releases. For WP:NCORP, we want to see significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. To answer question two, multiple independent sources such as newspaper articles tend to be enough to meet WP:GNG, but they have to be reliable. Fancy Refrigerator (talk) 02:07, 2 May 2026 (UTC)

Hello Fancy Refrigerator,

New Page Review queue November 2025 - May 2026

Backlog update

After the January–February drive the article backlog was reduced to 15,179 articles and the redirect backlog to 19,053 respectively. Great job! However, both queues are growing rapidly and any additional reviews are highly appreciated.

2024 and 2025 NPP Awards

JTtheOG was selected as the NPP reviewer of the year for both 2024 and 2025, for reviewing the most articles amongst all reviewers.

Hey man im josh and MPGuy2824 won the Redirect Ninja Master Award for 2024 and 2025 respectively, for reviewing the most redirects.

January–February backlog drive

The experimental two-month long backlog drive concluded with 183 reviewers patrolling over 27,761 articles and 35,309 redirects, earning over 36,836 points. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 6,484.6 points in this drive.

May backlog drive

An article-only backlog drive is currently underway. We are hoping to make a big dent in the backlog. You can read more about it or join at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/May 2026.

PageTriage

An attempt was made to get the New Pages Feed to sort by date marked as reviewed instead of date created. However we had to revert it due to bugs. We may try again in the future. You can subscribe to the Phabricator ticket if you're interested in following along.

Articles for Creation backlog drive

Hello Fancy Refrigerator:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in August!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than a month of outstanding reviews from the current 3+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 August 2026 through 31 August 2026.

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 5000 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:37, 19 July 2026 (UTC)
