Hello, I hope you don't mind me reaching out. I recently resubmitted the Superbet draft, which has been fully rewritten and now relies solely on high-quality, independent secondary sources (e.g. Bloomberg, The Guardian, The Recursive, Economedia). The promotional tone was removed, and the structure was condensed and neutral. I noticed the draft was declined again with the standard notability message. If you had a chance to review the updated version, I’d be grateful for any specific feedback or guidance, particularly if there are still areas where the notability criteria are not met. Thanks for your time and contributions! Contributor Marius (talk) 07:31, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Contributor Marius: I don't mind you reaching out. The version I reviewed was the latest version, which is also the current version as the draft has not been modified since my review. I left a comment explaining that the new version is certainly better with regard to its structure and neutrality, but the key issue that led to it being declined is that the subject does not appear to meet the notability criteria for corporations as much of the news coverage about the company appears to be routine or trivial. As past reviewers mentioned, things like investments secured, acquisitions, mergers, etc. are considered trivial as they are listed at WP:CORPTRIV, and this is currently much of what the draft consists of. This is why even though the outlets cited (Bloomberg, The Guardian, etc) are good quality sources which are good to use for verifying facts, the coverage is not in-depth enough to establish notability.

I would add that it is not common for a page about a company to have a "Corporate Governance" or "Social and Strategic Initiatives" section; these are the sorts of things you would find on a company's website, but in most cases you wouldn't find that on a Wikipedia article, as a Wikipedia page about the company should focus more on why the company matters. I would probably merge the 1-2 sentence long recognition sentence into the history section and focus on expanding it and finding some other thing that makes the page notable.

All corporation articles have a history section, but different corporation articles will have a different second thing that helps flesh out the page. For some it'll be a section about particular products, services, or subsidiaries made notable through coverage in reliable sources, for others it might be a legal disputes section. For some, it might be some sort of criticisms and controversies section. Expanding the page with more non-trivial information would certainly improve its chances of passing a future AfC review, but I can't say for sure that this topic is in fact notable enough for this to be possible.

 Vanilla  Wizard 💙 00:07, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

Hi, Vanilla Wizard, thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed response, it’s genuinely appreciated. I understand now that while the structure and tone are on the right track, the main issue remains the lack of in-depth, non-trivial coverage about the company itself. Your explanation about what distinguishes notable corporate articles (e.g. legal cases, product innovation, industry impact, etc.) is really helpful and gives me a clearer framework for identifying what might be missing. I’ll hold off on further submissions for now and focus on looking for stronger secondary sources or developments that could better meet the notability guidelines.

Thanks again for taking the time to reply, this was very constructive! Contributor Marius (talk) 08:55, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for participating in the Articles for Creation June Backlog Drive! We've done amazing work so far, dropping the backlog by more than 2000 drafts already. We have around 4700 drafts outstanding, and we need your help to get that down to zero in 5 days. We can do this, but we need all hands on deck to make this happen. A list of the pending drafts can be found at WP:AFCSORT, where you can select submissions in your area of interest. Thank you so much for your work so far, and happy reviewing! – DreamRimmer ■ 01:35, 25 June 2025 (UTC)

I believe you are approaching the 1,000 word limit in Talk:Iran–Israel_war#Requested_move_20_June_2025. From point 3 of the header on the article: All participants in formal discussions (RfCs, RMs, etc) within the area of conflict are urged to keep their comments concise, and are limited to 1,000 words per discussion. Citations and quotations (whether from sources, Wikipedia articles, Wikipedia discussions, or elsewhere) do not count toward the word limit. I got a count of about 899 words, though you may want to check my math. Aasim (話す（はなす）) 19:16, 29 June 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Awesome Aasim:, thanks for the FYI. I've been keeping this limit in mind when commenting, I previously thought (erroneously) that I hit the per-discussion limit until I remembered that citations and quotations don't contribute to the count. I've been making sure to make my newer comments short and to the point.  Vanilla  Wizard 💙 19:23, 29 June 2025 (UTC)

Greetings. I do note your reasons for rejecting Matthew Lani draft on the bases that without that one event he would be a low profile person. That is true. However, the main focus is about the one event he is known for, which made an impact in South Africa and internationally. The case still remains a life profile matter in South Africa. They are similar approved article known for only one even such as Thabo Bester. Yet it’s in mainspace. So I think the reason for rejection is abit harsh in this regard Ashleyashville (talk) 20:39, 29 June 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Ashleyashville:, WP:BLP1E is a Wikipedia policy that states the following:

We generally should avoid having an article on a person when each of three conditions is met:

1. Reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event.

2. The person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual. Biographies in these cases can give undue weight to the event and conflict with neutral point of view. In such cases, it is usually better to merge the information and redirect the person's name to the event article.

3. The event is not significant or the individual's role was either not substantial or not well documented. John Hinckley Jr., for example, has a separate article because the single event he was associated with, the Reagan assassination attempt, was significant, and his role was both substantial and well documented.

The one event Matthew Lani being associated with seems to be a scandal in which the subject exaggerated his credentials by claiming to be a doctor when he was not one, so the event would not be sufficiently significant to make the individual qualify for a Wikipedia article. As I was not the individual who reviewed the Thabo Bester page, I don't have an informed opinion on whether it was correct to approve that page or not. I reviewed this article based on my understanding of the relevant policy, not based on whether or not other stuff exists. It's possible thtat Thabo Bester also fails WP:BLP1E or WP:BLPCRIME, I can't say for sure as that was not the page I reviewed.

Hi there Vanilla Wizard! Thanks for your review of the page. I just need some clarification, please. The previous reviewers, Gheus, indicated that the band's EP DID meet notability criteria, but argued that the band did not. I drew up a notability table, it is in the talk page. Could I ask why you are suggesting the band/the EP does not meet WP:CREATIVE? There are multiple, independent, in-depth, reliable sources. Thx! Viljowf (talk) 06:10, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Viljowf:, thank you for reaching out to me! I agree with the previous reviewer that the EP is notable enough for a page as there's least a couple sources reviewing it, but I also have to agree that WP:BAND is the most relevant notability policy here and it's not as obvious that the band as a whole meets the threshold.

I've reread WP:CREATIVE a few times since reviewing your draft and I honestly think I was mistaken to agree that it's applicable here. WP:CREATIVE seems to be a catchall for handling types of creative works that don't already have their own unique criteria ("authors, editors, journalists, filmmakers, photographers, artists, architects, and other creative professionals"), but music, musicians, and bands do have their own criteria: Wikipedia:Notability (music). CREATIVE is also very noticeably a criteria for biographical pages about individuals; it is not intended to be applied to organizations, groups, ensembles, companies, etc.

When I first looked at it and still thought CREATIVE was applicable but likely not yet met, I interpreted "a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews, or of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series") as a higher bar than simply meaning anyone who's created at least one thing notable enough for an article, even if that article would be a short stub, is automatically notable enough for a biography page of their own.

But, to reiterate for emphasis, WP:AUTHOR/WP:CREATIVE is not actually applicable here, only WP:BAND is. I appreciate that you took the time to make a sources table and evaluate on your own which sources are useful for establishing notability, but I'm not so sure that BAND is met. There's 12 criteria that could be used to demonstrate that the band is notable, but it's not obvious that it passes any of them yet. Most of the handful of sources you marked as demonstrating notability are reviews of individual works, but I'm not seeing enough sources that focus on the band itself, so I don't think it passes at this time.

 Vanilla  Wizard 💙 18:55, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Vanilla Wizard, thank you again for your thoughtful reply and for taking the time to engage so deeply with the notability discussion!

I appreciate your clarification on WP:CREATIVE, and I see your point that it is typically applied to individuals. That being said, I’d like to revisit a few areas that I believe are still relevant to the band's notability — and to explain why splitting the article into an EP page is not in line with policy in the longer term.

Firstly, while WP:BAND provides a subject-specific guideline for musicians, it’s important to note that it does not override the general notability guideline (GNG) or associated frameworks like WP:CREATIVE. According to WP:N:

“Subject-specific notability guidelines do not override the general notability guideline, and satisfying either the general or subject-specific guidelines is sufficient for notability.”

In that light, the band article as a whole may still be viable based on coverage that meets the GNG — especially given the multiple independent, in-depth, reliable sources cited in the notability table. Some of those sources do focus on the band as a cultural or musical phenomenon, not just on individual tracks.

Secondly — and crucially — WP:NALBUM (Notability for albums and EPs) clearly allows for forthcoming releases to count toward notability if they are already being covered by reliable sources:

“Albums that have not yet been released can still be notable if reliable sources have already written about them in detail.”

— WP:NALBUM

The band’s second EP is forthcoming, and has already begun receiving coverage. Once it is officially released (which should happen within the next few months), the band will unambiguously meet WP:BAND by the letter of the guideline. In this context, creating a standalone stub for the EP and then merging it later into a unified band article would create an unnecessary fork — especially given that:

The article as it stands includes reliably sourced, encyclopedic content

Wikipedia policy (e.g. WP:MINIMUM) advises against overly short or fragmented pages when content can be usefully combined

The band's notability trajectory is clear, and time will only further consolidate their eligibility

I’m happy to continue improving the article, but I do believe there’s a policy-compliant case for keeping the current draft unified — and, given all the evidence - of considering GNG (with the provisions of CREATIVE) met.

Thanks again for your engagement — I genuinely value your time and the opportunity to think through this more carefully. Viljowf (talk) 11:23, 1 July 2025 (UTC)

Sincerely appreciation for your kind review, I almost gave up on Wikipedia as the review took too long I thought that it's because I am new here.

I’ve been working on a draft article titled Draft:Remi Aluko, and I believe it’s ready for review. I’ve submitted it through the Articles for Creation process, but I would really appreciate it if you could take a look whenever you have the time, and affect the article for approval if it qualifies Any feedback or suggestions for improvement would be very welcome!Gracias. Aliu Salau (talk) 01:42, 3 July 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Aliu Salau:, I took the time to read through Draft:Remi Aluko and its sources, and here's what I've come up with. This review is very long, so I apologize in advance for that.

To start, I see that YouTube is cited several times throughout the page. YouTube should not be cited as a source in most instances (the only example I can think of for when it would be fine would be if the subject is a YouTuber and it's used to cite information about statistics such as their current subscriber count). A link to a YouTube video cannot be cited as a source for a specific statement.

Take for example this sentence, which has quite a few issues:

"his performances are further elevated by his signature dance style a dynamic fusion of traditional alujo with fuji dance and contemporary self-modified disco movements which adds a unique and compelling element to his stage presence."

This is written in a non-neutral manner (praising the subject in Wikipedia's own words), reads like something ChatGPT would write, and cites YouTube. We can't cite a YouTube video of one of his songs and use that as a source to say he blends this movement with that movement, as doing original analysis on a primary source like a video would be original research; Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought.

Other examples of problematic sentences:

"Toronto Birthday Concert – Toronto, Canada (Sept 14, 2024) Marking both his birthday and global reach" There are a few problems with this. There's no source cited, it's confusing because the article says his birthday is September 29th not September 14th, and starting this sentence with "marking both his birthday and global reach" is editorializing. If a secondary, reliable, independent source said something like "this was his first concert outside of Nigeria" then we can mention, but not phrased as saying this marked "global reach" as that phrasing makes it sound like a huge accomplishment.

I've also decided to look through the sources and how they're being used in the draft.

Sources list:

1. dailypost.ng - This outlet is probably fine, but I'd just use it to cite the fact that he performed at the Olojo festival. There shouldn't be a product endorsements section (I'd delete that from the draft entirely), and this source is also being used to cite the "his performances are further elevated by his signature..." sentence even though the Daily Post article doesn't actually say that.

2. punchng (cited 2 times) - I think what you could do with the "Lords of fuji music" source is write something along the lines of "The Punch listed Aluko as one of the "Lords of fuji music" and commented on the significance of Aluko being a Christian artist in a genre that has historically been viewed as Islamic."

3. fujinaija (cited 2 times) - This outlet might be unreliable as it appears to be a celebrity-oriented tabloid similar to WP:CELEBRITYNETWORTH. That said, it might still be okay for what you're using it for (verifying some basic info about his life & verifying that he collaborated with another artist) so it can probably stay.

4. crystal.com.ng - The way this source is being used in the article is to write "his versatility and innovative contributions have earned him recognition as a key figure in the evolution of [...]", which is a non-neutral thing to say in Wikipedia's voice. What you could do instead is phrase it more like Nigerian celebrity news site Crystal praised Remi Aluko as a "renowned fuji musician" known for his "dynamic stage presence and captivating fuji beats.".

5. thenationonlineng.net - This is fine, the source is about him remarking on the importance of digital marketing and the draft says exactly what the source says.

6. pmnewsnigeria.com - This source is cited 2 times, I think the second link automatically redirected me to a scam website telling me to call a number for Microsoft Support. If it wasn't the pmnewsnigeria website it was one of the other ones, but we can't cite sources that can redirect readers to harmful webpages. I would remove this source from the article.

7. leadership.ng - This is cited 2 times, first to say he performed yearly at the festival, second to say he received an award, but the source only mentions him once in a list of people who performed at that year's concert.

8. merygold.biz - This is fine for saying he received the 2012 Merygold Fuji Music Award, I would probably list that under the history section instead of having a dedicated awards and achievements section.

9. legit.ng - I wouldn't include a sentence about him being one of the top 15 wealthiest Fuji artists as this would likely be considered trivial and the reliability of celebrity net worth estimates has been questioned before.

10. infoguidenigeria.com - I would move this into the history section as a sentence stating that he received the Nigerian Music Awards Best Fuji Artist Award (though you'd maybe want to find a second source to verify which year he received this award since this source doesn't seem to mention that). I would remove the rest of the Awards/Achievements section.

11. independent.ng - When I tried to view this source, there was no text. It starts with "Here are the highlights of the first day" and then just ends there.

Lastly, in order to establish that this person is notable enough for a Wikipedia article, there needs to be some sources that provide substantial amounts of in-depth coverage about them, articles written about them where they are the main topic of the article, not just someone who is mentioned in the article. At this time, I can't say that this has been sufficiently demonstrated, but there could be more sources out there.

TL;DR: Here's what I think the steps are to getting this draft approved

• 1) Remove unreliable sources
• 2) Rewrite non-neutral sentences and only say what sources say (attribute opinionated quotes to the sources rather than having Wikipedia say them)
• 3) Avoid using generative AI for assistance with writing articles (if you were using it)
• 4) Locate some articles online that are just about Remi Aluko rather than sources that only mention Remi Aluko. Or, if there's not many sources that are just about him, you may be able to find some more sources that at least provide lengthy and in-depth analysis or critique of him/his work.

So while I have to agree with some of the past reviewers that the page is not ready to be published right now, I think this should give you a very clear idea of how to get the page ready.

What is very certain is that no single Yoruba man in all over the world could denied Remi Aluko notable, that being said, I agree that my submission may have been inproperly factorized, so I'm open to all opportunities to make the page worthy.

I was having challenges about the Neutrality Rules, well I guess i am improving. Gracias, Gracias. Because of you I'm becoming a better writer and believing more in my self. Aliu Salau (talk) 07:41, 4 July 2025 (UTC)

You have indicated that a big portion of my article lacks reliable sources. How am I supposed to know the portion that lacks sources ? Secondly, why is it that there are thousands of articles on Wikipedia that are so brief (with less than 200 words) but, they are already published on Wikipedia? Check this article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannz_Tactiq and this too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DJ_Shiru

ArynahParis (talk) 18:08, 12 August 2025 (UTC)

@ArynahParis: The parts of the article that lack sources are, well, the parts of the article where there are no sources. For example, the Early Life and Education Section consists of the following text

"He is the second child to Nangendo Costa and Mutebi Michael both residents of Mityana - a district in central Uganda. He finished his primary education at DK Educational Hill School in Namasuba before joining Lubiri Secondary School and Mityana Secondary School. DJ Erycom would later join Kampala International University for a Bachelor's degree in information technology"

but there is no source on that sentence to verify that the information within it is true.

The same is true for much of the Career section, all of the International recognition, and all of the Music promotion section.

The existence of bad articles doesn't mean that those articles are okay or that Wikipedia doesn't have any policies or guidelines, it just means no one has done anything about them. See WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS and WP:OTHERCONTENT

Hi and thanks for your recent participation in AfD. I would like to hear your thoughts about the process. Please check this survey if you are willing to respond.Czarking0 (talk) 02:09, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

used to play that all the time back in 2020 lol, my favorite thing to do was try to make a hurricane either in the far north of the map or in the mediterranean... good times haha TheresAGoldenSky (talk) 20:39, 12 October 2025 (UTC)

@TheresAGoldenSky: yes I did! :) I'm really happy to hear you liked it and still remember it all these years later, I still have a hard time processing that there are people out there who played it at all. It was basically just one of those projects you make for yourself, something born out of a special interest I had in hurricanes when I was a teenager. I definitely wasn't expecting it to get players, much less for someone on Wikipedia to know about it  Vanilla  Wizard 💙 20:23, 13 October 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.

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!

The administrator elections process has officially started! Interested editors are encouraged to self-nominate or arrange to be nominated by reviewing the instructions at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/May 2026/Candidates.

Here is the schedule:

• April 29 – May 5: Call for candidates
• May 8–12: Discussion phase
• May 13–19: SecurePoll voting phase

Please note the following:

• The requirements to run are identical to RFA—a prospective candidate must be extended confirmed.
• Prospective candidates are advised to become familiar with the community's expectations of administrators, which are much higher than the minimum requirement of having extended confirmed status. This includes reviewing successful and unsuccessful RFAs, reading the essay Wikipedia:Advice for admin elections candidates, and possibly requesting an optional poll on their chances of passing.
• The process will have a seven day call for candidates phase, a two day pause, a five day discussion phase, and a seven day private vote using SecurePoll. Discussion and questions are only allowed on the candidate pages during the discussion phase.
• The outcome of this process is identical to making a request for adminship. There is no official difference between an administrator appointed through RFA versus administrator elections.
• Administrator elections are also a valid means of regaining adminship for de-sysopped editors.

Ask any questions about the process at the talk page. Later, a user talk message will be sent to official candidates with additional information about the process.

If you are interested in the process, please make sure to watchlist the appropriate pages. A watchlist notice will be added when the discussion phase opens, and again when the voting phase opens.
