Hello. You moved Shubh Maharaj to draft on the grounds of "no sources". Was that a mistake? Wikishovel (talk) 16:14, 23 September 2025 (UTC)

It was a mistake. The article needs more sources. Mekomo (talk) 15:14, 24 September 2025 (UTC)

Hi Mekomo. You draftified Saverio Monachino, but the creator moved it back to the mainspace. If you feel the subject fails to meet WP:NAUTHOR, then you can nominate the article for deletion via WP:AFD. At first glance, I think that would be the case based on the sources currently cited, but I haven't done any Googling to see if better sources can be found. FWIW, I just stumbled across the article after checking on the photo being used in it, and I'm just notifying you about as a courtesy. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:01, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for notifying me. The subject fails all notability guidelines based on the sources cited in the article but I did not perform a search to determine whether there are available sources to prove their notability or not. I will look into that when I'm able to. Mekomo (talk) 12:09, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

January–February 2026 Backlog Drive | New pages patrol
New Pages Patrol is hosting a one-time, two-month experimental backlog drive aimed at reducing the backlog. This will be a combo drive: both articles and redirects will earn points. The drive will run from 1 January to 28 February 2026. The drive is divided into two phases. Participants may take part in either phase or across both phases, depending on availability. Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled during the drive. Two-month drive-exclusive barnstars will be awarded to eligible participants. Each article review earns 1 point, while each redirect review earns 0.2 points. Streak awards will be granted based on consistently meeting weekly point thresholds. Barnstars will also be awarded for re-reviewing articles previously reviewed by other patrollers during the drive. Interested in participating? Sign up here.

Hello,

On my article for Leo Mujić, the message was added saying that it was an orphan article. I do not believe this to be the case anymore. Can the article be re-reviewed somehow?

Thank you Icedshakenespresso (talk) 23:34, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi! Just a note - I reverted the edits you made on the draft about an academic, as per discussion I had with some other editors here. Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Computer science#new bio Feel free to write why you disagree there. Thanks! WestwoodHights573 (talk) 22:37, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

I do not know the specific article you're talking about Mekomo (talk) 06:45, 7 January 2026 (UTC)

@Mekomo I gave you the link in my reply above, to the discussion with the article. The link does not work for you? It works for me. Maybe I copied it the wrong way. WestwoodHights573 (talk) 06:54, 7 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Mekomo, just dropping a note about the ChaYi article. I fixed the orphan issue by adding a link to it on the List of restaurant chains in the Philippines page, so I went ahead and removed the tag. Could you take another look when you have time? Thanks! Sisigegg (talk) 12:43, 8 January 2026 (UTC)

Can you please adopt a more "create/expand something new instead of delete everything that another person created" attitude? Not every person can be immediately notable, time is necessary, esp. from these smaller, less-developed countries. I just planted the seed for someone who might become more popular in the future. There is already one source and I am sure very soon there will be more coming if you just let the article be for a while. I will come back to it soon, hopefully. I am so tired of all you Wikipedia editors just tagging every effort I make with all your tags. In the meantime, thank you for the utter lack of collegiality and understanding for the other. Zagrebite (talk) 13:02, 12 January 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for your effort in building this encyclopedia. I want to let you know that tags on articles you create are not deliberate effort to undermine your work or specifically targeting you, the tags and the actions of other editors on articles you create are simply enforcement of Wikipedia guidelines and standard. Every single article and especially biographies of living persons must comply with general and specific notability guidelines. These guidelines are what make Wikipedia one of the most trusted and reliable encyclopedia

Kindly take some time to learn about notability guidelines before creating fresh articles again. Mekomo (talk) 13:20, 12 January 2026 (UTC)

Zagrebite, imagine scolding another editor, while violating an important policy like notability. Do you expect other editors to clean up after you? Wikipedia cannot establish notability since motability is based on existing sources. We cannot predict whether a subject will become notable or not (WP:CRYSTALBALL). If they are not notable, there will not be an article on them. It is pretty simple. Furthermore, you are writing about living people and there is WP:BLP for that as well. It is pretty irresponsible to make such articles without ensuring that they conform with the policies. I will draftify those articles. If you fail to demonstrate that they are notable, then the right course is only to delete them. StephenMacky1 (talk) 21:38, 12 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!

Hello Mekomo,

Backlog update

At the time of this message, there are 15,282 articles and 32,951 redirects awaiting review.

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.

Overall in 2024, one Platinum, two Gold, eight Silver, 12 Bronze and 45 Iron Barnstars were awarded. Additionally, 66 reviewers got the NPP barnstar for doing more than 100 reviews through the year. In 2025, one Platinum, ten Silver, 13 Bronze and 38 Iron Barnstars were awarded. Additionally, 38 reviewers got the NPP barnstar for doing more than 100 reviews through the year.

BoyTheKingCanDance, Rosiestep, SunDawn, and Vanderwaalforces were inducted into the NPP Hall of Fame for having two separate years of 2,000+ article reviews.

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.

Reminders:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
• Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
• To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

In your AfD close at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gender equity in legal professions, you conclude there was a consensus to merge to Gender equality, but mid-way through that discussion there was a more specific target suggested, Gender inequality#Professional education and careers, and no counter-argument to this target. In your close, you didn't mention Gender inequality as a possibility. Are you happy for a merge to this alternative target instead? Klbrain (talk) 16:26, 11 June 2026 (UTC)
