Hi there. Surekha is a noted actress in Tollywood films, although made not be much recognized in Kollywood films. She is known for her comic roles. And so far she has done over 100 films. If you follow Tollywood films, then you will definetely know who she is. There are lots of other Tollywood (Telugu) actors, who don't have an article on wikipedia. In the course, I will improve the article. I request not to delete this article, as it follows the guidelines of entertainers. Jayanthkumar123 (talk) 12:36, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
Delete this Wikipedia article .Wikipedia is not for writing people's biography. It is for giving people information on what people are interested in. And there are articles in wikipedia for telegu actors, that are really famous and people keep interest in knowing about. Souradip Mandal (talk) 19:38, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

I don't know if you noticed, but the submitter of this draft has a misleading username, indicating good-faith confusion. The draft states that the subject, Ken Griffiths, died in 2014. The account has the same name as the person. This may be a family member, but in any case is probably someone who mistakes account name and article name. This is not exactly a common error, but it is more common than I would expect. I have reported the username as a good-faith misleading name. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:46, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
Hello! I saw that you relisted a marathon page in the AFD space. In the discussion of deletion, there are two "Keep" votes. Instead of removing the AFD, it has been relisted. Is it typical to do this several times until you have 10 votes? Or is there no standard vote number, but just a subjective feel to relist? What is the criteria for moving from AFD to being clear? Just curious; thanks for your reply. Comm260 ncu (talk) 16:32, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for reviewing Society of German Natural Scientists and Physicians. I created the article mainly because there were several redlinks for it. Unfortunately, almost all the sources about it are in German, which I can't read. The society appears to be the German equivalent of the Royal Society and several clues make me believe that it is actually quite notable:

Thank you for your interest in this new page. Seeing as you were so quick to move it to draft, I invite you to now review Draft:Dunedin Collective for Woman. You will note that its references include coverage in three books, the corresponding article on the NZ government history website, and publications by or inspired by the Collective.
Alternatively, if you think that this is still not sufficient for article creation, I would appreciate your comments on what would you suggest would be required for it to match the standard of other Wikipedia stub articles.

Hello, I'm writing in connection to the review of the draft article Brother Leo (Artist), which was rejected. I understand where the feedback is coming from when saying that the article already exist on Wikipedia. However, the existing page is about Ola Svensson, whereas Brother Leo is a completely different project, which significantly deviates from Ola's previous releases when it comes to the genre, topics, persona etc. For that reason I think it deserves a separate wikipedia page, as it is not a continuation of previous projects. I can also give examples of Wikipedia articles, which exist separately for an artist and their solo project; one of them is Years and Years, which is a solo project of Olly Alexander. Both pages have their articles. Similarly Tame Impala, which is a musical project of Kevin Parker also has a separate article. For those reasons I believe the article should have been approved. Thank you in advance for your response.Prolificainfo (talk) 12:39, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi, when trying to accept Draft:Yohannes Abraham (I'm currently double-checking if his position is a pass for notability) I realized there is already a redirect page for that article title. What is the proper procedure for dealing with the already existing redirect page? Apologies if this doesn't concern you. It just could be useful for any future similar scenarios. nearlyevil665 16:16, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
Hello! Thank you for reviewing my draft. I did not expect it to be reviewed this soon, and I certainly intend to make further edits. Now that you have given it a close evaluation, would you mind answering some burning questions I have with regards to the sourcing policies?
I understand that the current sources, being interviews with the subject in question or descriptions written by affiliated parties (record labels, etc) do nothing to adequately establish notability. I could realistically find a number of sources that refer to Das Ding as one of the pioneers and more prominent faces of the modular synth scene in Rotterdam and perhaps the Netherlands as a whole. However, none of these sources would be considered noteworthy publications, as the subject, a niche scene in a small country, does not see itself covered by major publications.
The fact is, minimal wave and modular synth tinkering are both very niche subjects. Had there not been Wikipedia articles on either of those topics, I would not have even tried suggesting an article on Das Ding. I guess the bottom line of my question here is; how does Wikipedia deal with subjects that are niche enough so as to have a sparsity of sources available, yet are already half-represented by a number of other existing articles (sometimes poorly sourced, but evidently acceptable since they exist in mainspace)?
(When it comes to the points outlined in Wikipedia:Notability (music), Das Ding qualifies at the very least for points 5 and 7:
Point 5; Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable.
I would argue Stones Throw Records qualifies for the latter part of this;. Das Ding has been featured on multiple compilations released on this label, namely, two individual volumes of "The Minimal Wave Tapes"[1]. Or does the fact that these were collaborative albums ("Various Artists") mean that it doesn't count?
Point 7; Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city.
I believe Das Ding's qualifying for this point is established by the fact that minimal wave, a genre apparently notable enough to warrant its own Wikipedia article, saw its early-2010s revival based entirely around, among other things, the rediscovery of this subject's music.)
Despite remaining relatively obscure, Das Ding has regularly performed at a number of Dutch music festivals and venues, including WORM (Rotterdam), Amsterdam Dance Event, Motel Mozaïque, GOGBOT, etc.; yet any sort of lineup or announcement posted by any of the aforementioned sources would not constitute an acceptable source, correct?
Thank you for your time.

It is my understanding that an article deletion discussion at AFD is not a basis for speedy-deleting a draft, because drafts are not subject to notability. If a draft was deleted at MFD, then a resubmission of the draft can be tagged for G4, but that isn't the issue. A previous AFD is a basis for declining or rejecting a draft, and you did decline the draft, and I have left a comment on the draft both about the AFD and the conflict of interest. I think that this is a case where the draft can simply be left alone for six months now that the submitting account has been blocked.
However, I will raise this comment again about the deletion of articles and their effect on drafts, at the AFC talk page. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:40, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
Good evening @CommanderWaterford:,
I hope you're doing pretty well today.
I noticed you placed a notability tag on the Arrest of Tianna Arata page, and since then I've updated the page with additional citations to prove it's notability. Additionally, doing a simple Google Search on the matter, there's a lot of reliable articles on the subject.
Since I updated the article with additional citations, I feel like the issue is addressed according to my understanding of the WP:GNG. I'd like to know your thoughts since I will admit you have more experience than me, but I'm open towards going back and adding more sources to the page if the issue hasn't been met.
Thanks for taking the time to read into my thread.
Regards. JayzBox (talk) 22:27, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
Good afternoon CommanderWaterford,
Just wanted to thank you for flagging the orphaning in terms of links on the article I created. I have used the linking tool and have added inclusions in relevant pages such as Urban planning in Australia. Was there a specific minimum needed on Wikipedia for linkages or the links I have done so far should be okay?
Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Hello, thank you for your review of my work, The murder of Marie Wilks. Could you please clarify for me my mistakes? I understand it was a single event, but I have read of similar single news events on Wikipedia, such as the disappearance of Madalaine Mccann for example. I had thought of linking the murder to a wider field of attacks on pregnant women, and the safety of female motorists, would that help? Also, I am a little confused as to citing sources, there are very few for the case. I really would appreciate your help in this if you have the time. Thank you once again.LindySQ

Hi CommanderWaterford! I noticed that you approved Madeline Y. Hsu in the NPP log when it looked like this. I've since added some sources to establish that it passes NBIO, but that was very much not established at the time, so please be cautious; we don't want non-notable pages slipping through.

dear user. thank you. But in English Wikipedia, anyone can tag pages or do something However I did not remove the tag for any of the Wikipedia users I do not do polls or other cases Because I respect all users. However, Mahyar Ghasemi's Turkish page has been created for a long time And I created 20 new resources for them But you deleted the page However, I have nothing to do with other users' pages

Hi CommanderWaterford, hope you're well. When relisting AfDs for a third time, as you did at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sonita Lontoh (2nd nomination), please note that you are required to provide an explicit explanation. WP:RELIST says: Therefore, in general, debates should not be relisted more than twice. Users relisting a debate for a third (or further) time, or relisting a debate with a substantial number of commenters, should write a short explanation either within the ((relist)) template, or in addition to it, on why they did not consider the debate sufficient.

Hello, thank you for reviewing my article. In the template above it, you mention it might fail notability requirements. I wanted to ask if you could give me your opinion on this? The article is about a singer who is kind of an internet celebrity in Azerbaijan and there are sources about her + many videos on YouTube and it appears she was on TV as well. But it is very local stuff. What do you think? keep or not keep? Thank you. - Creffel (talk) 11:49, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
Hello CommanderWaterford,
I am confused by your interactions with me which seems 100% through semi-automatic templates and do not answer to request for corrections. Are you using a tool, bot or semi-automatic edits ? Is your working process ignoring contributors' pings ? Your reactions barely seems to imply an human contributor, do not respond to pings, and are therefore confusing for the other party. If you are handling an heavy workload, a large number of tasks, and therefore cannot monitor each threads, please inform me so I take it into account and do not ask you further engagement and explanations.

Hey CommanderWaterford. For a brief moment, I saw your edit on Talk:Loganair Flight 6780 due to edit conflicts. A few months ago, I asked Afc reviewers to ping me if they stumbled on either a draft or newly created article that might be a 'Current event'. I mostly work on current events, so it is a kind curtesy that some editors do, so it won't be Wikipedia:Advocacy. I know me and you haven't seen eye to eye all the time, but I wanted to request that you might also ping me if you stumble on a current event potential article or draft. You don't have to if you don't want to, but if you did, I would gladly appreciate it. Have an amazing and wonderful day! Elijahandskip (talk) 19:56, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello. I would like to discuss your rejections of my draft, because I think we're having a misunderstanding, and I would like to clarify that.
Firstly, I don't believe the phrase is a neologism:
“ | ...relatively recent or isolated term, word, or phrase that may be in the process of entering common use, but that has not yet been fully accepted into mainstream language. [...] Neologisms are often formed by combining existing words (see compound noun and adjective) or by giving words new and unique suffixes or prefixes. | ” |
...because it does not introduce some previously unknown lexics/morphemes/syntax/etc into Belarusian and/or Russian language. It is just a regular phrase, which gained humorous context due to protests and militsiya actions in response to it and therefore became a meme. Because of that I don't believe rule for neologisms is a case to be applied here.
Secondly, I don't quite understand why do you dismiss citations as "improper". TUT.by, for example, is one of the biggest online news outlets in Belarus, and for Belarusian and Russian Wikipedia (in which I've had experience with introducing new articles) its publications count as a very solid source. Publications related to the phrase do not express the opinion of author on it, but merely state the fact of its wide-spread popular use. There are also a lot of other news sites matching the same criteria, therefore I believe my citations meeting all the requirements. Maybe we're having a language barrier here, and you would like me to provide citations from English-written sources?
Looking forward to your reply and thanks in advance. --B.niekrashevich (talk) 06:14, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
Hi CommanderWaterford, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. However, you should consider adding relevant wikiproject talk-page templates, stub-tags and categories to new articles that you create if you aren't already in the habit of doing so, since your articles will no longer be systematically checked by other editors (User:Evad37/rater and User:SD0001/StubSorter.js are useful scripts which can help). Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Anarchyte (talk) 10:52, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
I'm going to start an ANI thread to resolve this. As I said before, if the community decides I was wrong, I'll (or someone else will) reinstate the permission(s). Anarchyte (talk) 08:17, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
