Draftification of Sikandar (2025)

Hey, I reverted one of your draftifications, as it violated WP:DRAFTNO, which states that any article cannot be draftified if it was created or edited in the last hour. You draftified the article within 8 minutes of its creation; won’t that upset the author? GrabUp - Talk 14:57, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@BoyTheKingCanDance: I saw you again draftified it, don’t you know the rule? GrabUp - Talk 15:00, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Now I do. Thanks. BoyTheKingCanDance (talk) 15:04, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@GrabUp: the author actually had already created the exact same sourceless, contentless, infobox-only mainspace article at Sikandar (Film), so I don't think they had any plans on improving the article in that namespace. Both articles qualified to simply just be speedy deleted, which probably would be more upsetting. Best, GPL93 (talk) 15:05, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have tagged one for speedy deletion; duplication does not mean draftification at all. Also, shouldn’t we wait at least some time to give the author more opportunity to add content? You can also tag for speedy deletion under criteria such as WP:A7, and draftification is only allowed after one hour. GrabUp - Talk 15:09, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This subject already has a full draft at Draft:Sikandar (2025 film) and is currently a redirect at Sikandar (2025 film). Both article pages have a copyrighted photo (uploaded by the author as an own work) in the infobox, so WP:DRAFTNO is not applicable anyway. Best, GPL93 (talk) 15:10, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Joe Roe: Can you please give us your view, if this violates WP:DRAFTNO or now, I think it still violates WP:DRAFTNO. GrabUp - Talk 15:13, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Both should be deleted for housekeeping reasons, particularly after finding the redirect and draft. There wasn't any proof that the editor was still working on the article, no template, no further edits, they literally just recreated it again in a different namespace, then they made an edit on an unrelated subject. There is zero indication that this article was still being worked on (which is part of the criteria) and, if anything the editor had moved on. We can't just leave just an infobox with nothing else and a copyvio to boot in the mainspace. Next time I will just delete. Admin Explicit did not seem to see an issue when deleting the redirect instead of moving the draft back. Best, GPL93 (talk) 15:18, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Draft:Primimodernismo

Hello, GPL93,

Don't mark a page as being CSD G1, as incoherent or gibberish, just because it is in a different language other than English. It is completely coherent if you use Google Translate and I encourage you to install this extension on your browser if you use Chrome. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 00:32, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please lay off the CSD button in draftspace and userspace in general - this is really, really bitey to new users, especially when you're tagging their sandboxes, which are explicitly there for them to use to muck around. -- asilvering (talk) 22:32, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Liz: That was botched on my end. IDK why but I misread does not cover as covers when I first read WP:G1. I should have draftified this article in hindsight. Best, GPL93 (talk) 18:37, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Ricardo Genovés

The article Ricardo Genovés has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

non notable minor league baseball player

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.

Kon Knueppel name

Hi GPL93,

How is Kon saying his middle name is "II" on a podcast not a reliable source?

Thanks, Colt22123 Colt22123 (talk) 01:03, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:RS. Best, GPL93 (talk) 13:32, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On players who actually use the "II" suffix, Duke basketball's official roster website (https://goduke.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/2024-25) buts the "II" after their names (such as on Patrick Ngongba II or Derick Lively II). Kon, however, has his name listed as "Kon Knueppel." Should've we then omit the "II" on his Wikipedia page?

Thanks, Colt22123 (talk) 15:56, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally,

There a source used on this page (https://madison.com/watching-the-son-rise/article_077d07d3-dbfc-53ef-a553-e29f9177fec4.html) mentions his middle name being the roman numerals "II". Shouldn't we not have contradicting sources?

Thanks, Colt22123 (talk) 16:06, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I stand corrected! Looking through the edit history, it does look like a family member corrected it to Kon II a while ago (it was reverted because it was part of a bunch of unsourced additions). I did a search with "Kon II" as one keyword and was able to find an RS for it (as did you, darn edit conflicting) so I switched it out. Usually in these situations where naming, birthplace, etc are not clear or have conflicting information I lean towards just waiting towards draft season when players have to fill out paperwork with all this information.

Your draft article, Draft:Ben Bywater

Hello, GPL93. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Ben Bywater".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 08:08, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
