Done and a change to the filter may be needed. Could we add an exception for "brain fag"? Rusty4321 talk contribs 14:48, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm interested in what other EFMs think, but I don't think "brain fag" is going to be common enough to warrant an exception given that it can also be used in a derogative manner and that the filter only targets non-confirmed users --DannyS712 (talk) 17:50, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not an EFM, but I don't see the necessity here. I doubt the common use of "brain fag" is to a degree enough to write in an exception. Would be interested in knowing how often, if at all, it is used though. EggRoll97 (talk) 02:04, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I think you meant to add the link Robbie Ryan (cinematographer) instead. Codename Noreste 🤔 talk 18:43, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
yeah, maybe I'm not understanding how to add.
is the link supposed to be added as a source? or a reference? Novamotel (talk) 18:55, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Novamotel, that link above is the biography article you intended to add instead of the filter preventing your edit. Codename Noreste 🤔 talk 19:06, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, then I don't understand. I'm not trying to add a biography article, just someone's name, and if I added a filter then I don't know how. I'm just trying to add a name to a list and it keeps erroring. Novamotel (talk) 20:31, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What the filter (the thing that stopped your edit) does is it stops names from being added to notable people lists if they aren't a link to an existing Wikipedia article - because in 99% of the cases if someone is notable, in the Wikipedia sense, they either already have a Wikipedia article or should have one. – 2804:F14:809E:DF01:958C:CBEA:1D31:A2D5 (talk) 21:30, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That said, I'm not seeing in the article any claim that they went to this college, so you will also need a citation (not because of the filter, just Wikipedia policy)

To clarify (this is my second report, largely submitting this to give more clarity as to what I was doing): I was trying to remove past and obsolete comments I made on the deletion discussion that now contradict my current opinion/vote.
