Hi @Filmssssssssssss, I hope you are doing well, I want to thank you for your efforts to improve Wikipedia, specifically the AFD nominations, but I have noticed that sometimes you miss including the sorting categories. Like here, here, and here. Zuck28 (talk) 09:22, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

Ok, thank you for letting me know. I will make sure next time to include them Filmssssssssssss (talk) 12:50, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

Perfect! Thanks for the quick response and Happy editing! Zuck28 (talk) 12:55, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for your tireless contributions in weeding out and getting rid off the plethora of non-notable articles that don't help in providing encyclopedic assistance and harm Wikipedia's standards silently, if kept.

Thank you for your massive work at the AFDs! BhikhariInformer (talk) 03:56, 28 February 2026 (UTC)

Just a suggestion. Iljhgtn (they/them · talk) 04:09, 7 March 2026 (UTC)

If you are going to tag pages for BLP sources, please read the page first to ensure that the article is an actual BLP. You have just tagged three articles which are biographies of deceased people, including one person who died in 1768, and another who lived in the 19th century. Please exercise due diligence. Jack (talk) 20:41, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

Ok, my bad, thanks for letting me know Filmssssssssssss (talk) 22:16, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi. It looks like you nominated 18 schools for AfD today (so far), plus the 16 that were reposted from last week. I appreciate your efforts to remove non-noteable schools, but with this nomination rate, it's very hard to check them all. You're nominating multiple pages in a minute, which suggests you're not doing proper before checks. Would you mind slowing down or elaborating more in your nominations? SenshiSun (talk) 02:35, 29 March 2026 (UTC)

I just came here to post about this too. The schools do seem genuinely non-notable (from the brief spot-checks I have done), but it's causing a lot of noise at AfD. Did you know about the WP:PROD process? I suggest that in future you PROD these unnotable school articles, and only bring them to AfD if someone objects. Thanks for your work! MolecularPilot _Talk 03:03, 29 March 2026 (UTC)

A check at the AfD stats tool shows they have made 200 nominations since March 14, 2026, or a 200 in a 15 day period. PROD appears useful in this case. SenshiSun (talk) 03:44, 29 March 2026 (UTC)

Ok, I will be sure to nominate less in the future moving forward Filmssssssssssss (talk) 12:16, 29 March 2026 (UTC)

Thank you. SenshiSun (talk) 21:25, 29 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi Filmssssssssssss. Thank you for your work on 1964 American Cyanamid explosion. Another editor, Klbrain, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Thanks for expanding and improving (including adding more references) in response to feedback. Reaches WP:NEVENT through the sustained coverage, even to the present day.Clearly written and structured.

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Klbrain}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Klbrain (talk) 20:35, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

Hi, I am here to just ask you, or rather reach a consensus, regarding making a mass redirect of educational institution-related articles made by the said user, since most of them fail the general notability guidelines and specifically WP:NSCHOOL. What is your idea regarding this? Pinging @BhikhariInformer, since he has participated in most of the XfDs. Is there some special noticeboard, where we can post this, to bring this into other's attention, and reach a consensus? Itcouldbepossible ^Talk 17:56, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

Hey @Itcouldbepossible thanks for the ping. I did happen to see the user's history and most of the articles don't even have sources/citations to back them up. At most, the user has referenced directories which do not qualify as a wikipedia reliable source. I have not nominated all of them, but we would indeed really need a clean up Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 18:10, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

Also pinging User:Flyingphoenixchips to know their opinion regarding the matter. Itcouldbepossible ^Talk 17:59, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

@Itcouldbepossible and @Flyingphoenixchips, I support this, if we can group together most of the unsourced articles. I will say that this might be a little difficult though, as some may have some notability. This user has created 1,000+ pages Nevertheless, I do support some form of mass redirect, but would proceed with caution and attention to detail Filmssssssssssss (talk) 21:21, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

@Flyingphoenixchips The plan, as I have thought of, should start with the articles created by the user being filtered, based on their current size, which will provide an approximate count of the number of articles in the mainspace that the user has contributed. This will mainly help us focus on articles with minimal content. Alternatively, we could compare the original article size with the current size to gain a clearer understanding of the same.

Following this, we will conduct the necessary notability checks for each article to ensure compliance, which will provide added assurance before taking any further action. Itcouldbepossible ^Talk 01:15, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

@PrimeHunter It would be greatly appreciated if you could take some time out of your routine, to provide your input on this matter and let us know whether our proposed approach is appropriate. Only with your feedback can we proceed with a broader clean-up of articles that fail to meet notability standards. Itcouldbepossible ^Talk 01:18, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

The only issue is we can't all of a sudden mass group and delete articles without consensus, that would as brought up by other editors before on this talkpage, overclutter the AFD and/or the PROD checking process Filmssssssssssss (talk) 01:51, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

Yes, and that is precisely the reason behind me trying to find an appropriate place to discuss this before other senior editors. Itcouldbepossible ^Talk 02:25, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

@Filmssssssssssss@ItcouldbepossibleSounds good to me. Could we potentially bring this issue to a noticeboard? As I see it, most of the non notable articles of the user either list no sources or simply list directories... so we could potentially filter things out based that? Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 17:07, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

@Flyingphoenixchips Yes, the idea of putting this up on a suitable noticeboard came to me earlier as well. But, I fail to understand which would be the most appropriate place to discuss these. Itcouldbepossible ^Talk 17:09, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

Maybe we could tag one of the admins, that was involved in closing the AfDs in previous nominations involving the useɾ? @Itcouldbepossible Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 17:12, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

Yeah, we could surely do so. Whom should I tag? Any suggestions? @Flyingphoenixchips Itcouldbepossible ^Talk 17:14, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

@Itcouldbepossible Lemme tag some @Star Mississippi @Explicit @Spartaz tagging you all since you closed the AfDs of the concerned user before. Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 17:21, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

it really depends on what you want to do. If it's redirect, I'd just boldly do a sample of 50 and see if anyone objects. If not do the rest. If its delete then you need some kind of discussion and some guys will oppose on principle just because it's content. Spartaz ^Humbug! 18:33, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

I would be open to redirect, as opposed to always deleting as an alternative to deletion. Filmssssssssssss (talk) 18:35, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

thats easier to do at first. Potentially use AWB? Don't know if you need a bot approval to do 1000 but you can certainly get away with 50 as a sample Spartaz ^Humbug! 18:38, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

seems semi automated edits don't require bot approval WP:SEMIAUTOMATED Spartaz ^Humbug! 18:43, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

Just noting I see this, @Flyingphoenixchips

Unfortunately I lack the on wiki time to dig into this but @Spartaz's idea of a test batch makes sense to me. Star Mississippi 18:38, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

I think this is a good idea, pinging @Itcouldbepossible and @Flyingphoenixchips. Could either of you proceed with doing this? I can also check the articles as well once the list is created. Filmssssssssssss (talk) 18:57, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

@Filmssssssssssss@Flyingphoenixchips Yeah surely! I have got AWB access, and I can surely use it for making the redirects. I will be working on the list and letting you all know in due course of time. Itcouldbepossible ^Talk 04:43, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

@Spartaz @Star Mississippi I would like to thank both of you for taking your valuable time, and commenting on the issue. Admin intervention - yes, that is kind of what we were looking for, before boldly doing such a huge task. Itcouldbepossible ^Talk 04:45, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

But there is just one small problem regarding the use of auto wiki browser for this purpose. The problem is we are not going to redirect each and every article to one specific target, isn't it? So that would indeed be a problem. I think, it is best to take turns to review articles and redirect them manually. And another option can be to go through all the articles, and sort them based on the main University, and then make suitable redirects. Let me know what you all are thinking.

Something else that can be done is, go through articles present in particular categories, like [[Category:Colleges affiliated to North-Eastern Hill University]] and so on, go through them, and do the needful. Or maybe go through templates like this. That actually makes things easier for making AWB edits. We filter pages using that template, and then we go for redirecting them.

Don't know if this would be of much help, but anyone interested can surely have a look at this. Itcouldbepossible ^Talk 05:05, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

@Itcouldbepossible, they look good to me, I think we can start the process of redirecting and/or putting them into AFD/PROD Filmssssssssssss (talk) 15:27, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

Yeah surely. We can go for a review and redirect cycle, instead of going for AFDs... Itcouldbepossible ^Talk 15:37, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

agree with this @Filmssssssssssss@Itcouldbepossible. Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 18:51, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

 Done I have redirected all the articles listed in this template, after going through most of them. Please confirm before mass redirect. @Filmssssssssssss @Flyingphoenixchips @Star Mississippi Itcouldbepossible ^Talk 05:15, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

this might make things easier. Let me know what you all are thinking. Itcouldbepossible ^Talk 05:22, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

@Itcouldbepossible You can proceed with the redirects, thank you for your efforts Filmssssssssssss (talk) 13:20, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

Bad redirects, the colleges are not mentioned at the target. Kelob2678 (talk) 13:51, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

@Kelob2678 has identified this issue, @Itcouldbepossible please mention the colleges in the redirect targets Filmssssssssssss (talk) 14:12, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

The colleges are being redirected to their parent university. Am I missing something? Itcouldbepossible ^Talk 14:14, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

The colleges have to be mentioned on the pages, could you please check if you can add them in? Filmssssssssssss (talk) 14:15, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

Sorry, I still can't get your point. You mean to say, the parent university page should have the name of the colleges? I am unsure what you are trying to tell me. If you could do one of them for me, then I could follow the same for the rest. Itcouldbepossible ^Talk 14:17, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

@Itcouldbepossible Yes, I think you should add at least brief mentions of the colleges See here, Kiang Nangbah Government College is mentioned in the page Meghalaya. Otherwise, if they are too non notable for even a redirect, we should get consensus for deletion. Filmssssssssssss (talk) 14:52, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

So basically, I need to mention the colleges under Vidyasagar University since I redirected many articles to it recently. Itcouldbepossible ^Talk 15:00, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

But, I think there is this for this already. Won't it be redundant additions? Itcouldbepossible ^Talk 15:01, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

I'm not sure, apologies for that, I think we should wait for the admin to explain Filmssssssssssss (talk) 15:03, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

@Kelob2678 Would you kindly take a moment to explain what you actually meant? I can make the required changes then. Itcouldbepossible ^Talk 14:58, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

The colleges should be mentioned at the redirect target page, see WP:RASTONISH. I don't really understand how to explain this straightforward thing better. The issue here is that you chose a poor redirect target, you should have redirected to the towns in which the colleges are located or to various lists of colleges. Kelob2678 (talk) 15:14, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

@Filmssssssssssss @Kelob2678  Done Please have a look at this, and kindly let me know if this was what you all were talking about. Itcouldbepossible ^Talk 02:57, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

@Filmssssssssssss@Itcouldbepossiblejust wanted to update you guys, I will start working on this task tomorrow morning as well. Didn't get the substantial time to devote Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 02:59, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

This is significantly better. Kelob2678 (talk) 06:50, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

MUCH better, thanks again for taking the time to do this gargantuan task Filmssssssssssss (talk) 12:37, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

You are most welcome sir! Itcouldbepossible ^Talk 12:41, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

@Itcouldbepossible@Filmssssssssssss Hey guys, have a look at the articles created by these two users as well. I started working on mass redirects and came across this. Have nominated a few of them to AfDs for now, instead of simply a redirect. 2 usersː Okkchak Lyanaz Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 02:38, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

@Flyingphoenixchips@Itcouldbepossible I saw these. Also look at User:Ramesh Ramaiah Filmssssssssssss (talk) 12:42, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

Thanks. Have a look at this AfD. Not asking anyone to participate since that would constitute canvassing , but certain accounts seem to be systematically voting to keep non-notable articles, particularly those related to Manipur. This is not the first time I have encountered this pattern. Most of these articles have at most one reference or rely on directory listings to simulate sourcing. I had been keeping an eye on that specific user for sometime now. @Itcouldbepossible Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 04:23, 21 April 2026 (UTC)

@Flyingphoenixchips Since you are associated with that specific group, I would ask you to keep an eye on certain editors (not naming any), and do the needful. I do see some anomalies, but can't point my finger exactly on them. Itcouldbepossible ^Talk 03:23, 22 April 2026 (UTC)

Also have a look at @Coolcolney. The user was banned previously and have thousands of articles which are barely notable. I had nominated a few to AfD and feel like I overwhelmed the AfD process. @Itcouldbepossible@Filmssssssssssss Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 02:37, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

@Flyingphoenixchips Its time we bring in some administrator and perform a mass redirect. Jamming the AfC won't be worth it, and things would only get delayed. I will focus on these after I have finished with the drive that I am currently participating in. Great work FPC! Itcouldbepossible ^Talk 06:51, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

@Itcouldbepossible Also bringing to attention this specific user. At the moment I am not sure if its a paid editor or if they have a coi, but the activity is questionable enough. The user is also misusing canvassing tags to influence AfD outcomes, and edits are filled with Promotional content. Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 13:15, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

@Flyingphoenixchips I noticed the user long back. Will look into all these after I have finished with the drive. Itcouldbepossible ^Talk 14:59, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

Also if you notice, there is a strange similarity between their username, and the username of another established editor. Will not be getting into details for obvious reasons.

PS.: Might be coincidental, but just thought of letting you know. Itcouldbepossible ^Talk 15:03, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

@Flyingphoenixchips @Itcouldbepossible I’m seeing these editors and it’s definitely ringing alarm bells. I also came across this page Category:West Bengal university stubs And found hundreds of pages created by User:Soumitrahazra. I’ve already sent a considerable amount to AFD and PROD. Could either of you also look into the page above as well for potential mass redirect? I dont want to WP:NUKE them all just yet, but looking at many of the pages here, we could reduce the list considerably. Finally I do think looping in an admin experienced with this would be beneficial Filmssssssssssss (talk) 16:23, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

I’ve already caught two in direct violation of WP:LLM and WP:COPYVIO. I suspect there will be more just hidden away in the depths of Wikipedia Filmssssssssssss (talk) 16:39, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

I redirected this to List of colleges affiliated to the Anna University#Tirunelveli Region as an alternative to deletion. It should be obvious why I did this, but feel free to reply below. Thank you for your time. Bearian (talk) 15:18, 23 April 2026 (UTC)

I did another WP:BLAR to the affiliated university, if you don't mind, per WP:ATD. Bearian (talk) 19:25, 23 April 2026 (UTC)

That’s fine, thank you for doing that Filmssssssssssss (talk) 19:49, 23 April 2026 (UTC)
