Categories on userfied articles
When dealing with categories like this, it's better to comment them out rather than delete them so they are more easily restored once the article is ready to be moved back to mainspace. Having to hunt through the article history to find them can take a while, especially if a lot of work has been done to the article since the cats were removed. Thanks! ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 17:21, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
- Firstly, the categories that people file userpages in aren't always good ones: I frequently find userpages "filed" in redlinked categories that don't exist at all, or duplicate categories (e.g. just today I came across one that had been simultaneously filed in "[Country] volleyball players", "Volleyball players" and "Volleyball") that a page shouldn't be left in, or other categories that would be inappropriate or incorrect even if the page were actually in mainspace — but I can't just leave bad categories on a page if that would just create future work to clean them up again if and when the page returns to mainspace, so I would have to spend several minutes on each page to investigate whether all of its categories were correct ones or not in order to determine which ones to keep and which ones to strip, because
- Secondly, the polluted category reports only run twice a week, which means by the time a new report runs I have hundreds of draft and user pages that have to be cleaned out all at once, because they have to be all cleaned out by the time the next report runs or else the size of the job will be even worse next time. So it's a job that already takes me a few hours as it is in the best case scenario, and would end up becoming a full-day project if I had to double or triple or quintuple the amount of time I spend on each individual page. I have to be able to get in and out of each page, fixing the problem and moving on, within no more than one minute per page maximum, and simply don't have the time to turn each individual page into a extended review of which categories are good and should just be disabled vs. which categories are bad and need to be removed, or an extended investigation of whether the page was previously a real article that got sandboxed after the fact, or was created in sandbox from the start.
- So if you want the page to have categories present on the page in disabled form from the start, you're totally free to do that — but since you're the creator/owner of pages in your own sandbox in the first place, it's your responsibility to be on top of disabling any categories you want there. You can't make it other people's responsibility to disable the categories for you, because those of us who clean up userpages in article categories have to deal with hundreds of such pages in one shot, and can't be expected to put more time into the job than the absolute quickest possible solution.

- I've moved the conversation back here to avoid any confusion. The article was userfied only a couple hours or so before you removed the categories and before I even had time to look at it after it was moved, so all the categories were legit. Taking a few extra seconds to glance at the history to see if it was just moved to userspace is not a huge burden. We're all volunteers here, and I've been doing things here nearly as long as you have. If you don't want to do it, that's fine, but you're removing of the categories before I even had time to review it after it was userfied makes more work for me (and anyone else you do that to). It would have taken only a few seconds more to be courteous. That's all I'm saying. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 21:33, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

November Articles for creation backlog drive
Hello Bearcat:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.
You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.
Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
The article Out of Your Mouth has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
fails WP:GNG
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Disambiguation needed for Fursat
Hello, I hope you're doing well. The topic "Fursat" has 2 single and a short film. The timeline is described below:-
- Fursat - 2016 -> Fursat (song) - primary topic
- Fursat Hai Aaj Bhi - 2020 -> currently redirect to Fursat (song)
- Fursat (short film) - 2023 -> currently redirect to Fursat - secondary topic
Thanks for your consideration. C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 12:01, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
Genie (film) moved to draftspace
Thanks for your contributions to Genie (film). Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because It is an unreleased film.. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Robert McClenon (talk) 06:35, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
- The only thing I ever did was pull it out of categories when it was in draftspace the first time, before the page creator moved it into mainspace. So what's this got to do with me at all? Bearcat (talk) 19:03, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
Plastique Tiara
At this point I'm bothered that Plastique Tiara doesn't have an entry. She clearly qualifies but this page is stuck in protection limbo. I just want the ability to work on the bio again, with the article history preserved, whether that's in the draft space or the main space. Since you've weighed in before, can you please help determine the best path forward? Thanks! ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:26, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
