 | Scam warning If you are visiting this page because someone claiming to be me contacted you asking for any payment of any type, it is not me and you are being scammed. If they are threatening to delete or take other adverse action against some article, they can't actually do that and you should not under any circumstances pay them any money or further engage with them. See also this scam warning regarding the Articles for Creation process and editors who edit for pay. |
 | As I frequently work at the arbitration enforcement noticeboard, I am "aware" of all the various areas covered by discretionary sanctions, and this notice may be considered evidence of awareness if enforcement is requested. It is not necessary to leave me notices advising me of such areas. |

Please read before posting
[edit]- Post all new sections under a new header at the bottom of this page, not at random. If you make it clear you ignored these instructions by placing it elsewhere, I am likely to ignore your request in turn.
- If you leave me a message here, I will respond to it here, as fragmented discussions are confusing. I may or may not leave you a notice that I've responded on your talk page. If you specifically request that I do (or do not) give you such a notice when I respond, I'll honor that request. If I contact you on your talk page, I will watchlist it so that I can respond there. If you'd like to leave me a notice when you respond (a ping will also suffice), it would be appreciated, and you'll probably receive a faster followup.
- No lulztxtspk or emojis on my talk page, please. "You" is spelled "you", "though" is spelled "though", "because" is spelled "because", "people" is spelled "people", and so on. There is no character limit on Wikipedia comments, so there is no need whatsoever for ad-hoc abbreviating. If you don't even take yourself seriously, don't expect me to take you seriously either.
- If you are an admin here to ask me about someone I blocked for vandalism or spamming/advertising, they've agreed to stop it, and you believe they intend to edit productively, go ahead and unblock them. If you still want my opinion please feel free to ask, but there's no obligation. For more complex cases I would appreciate a heads-up, but please go ahead with your best judgment if I don't seem to be online. I would appreciate it if you'd let me know after you do.
- If you are here to discuss edits made to an article, please use the article talk page, not this talk page, to discuss them. If I made the edit and the question is specifically directed at me, you are welcome to ping me.
- If you email me a question or request, and do not indicate why the matter is sensitive and must be handled privately (and such is not immediately obvious), I may ignore it or respond on your talk page rather than by return email. Talk pages are open to other editors to read, and so are the preferred method of communication for matters involving Wikipedia. If the matter you are speaking to me about is Wikipedia-related and would not violate anyone's privacy by being posted publicly, please use my talk page instead of email. This does not, of course, apply to editors who are blocked from editing, though I still may respond on your talk page rather than by return email.
Non-reliable source removal
[edit]If you’re looking to remove sources because you think they aren’t reliable, just directly delete the source. If you revert me, you revert all my edits. For example, when the bus roster was taken away in the Q70 page, we also lost the main photo of the bus and I had to place it back in.Wikis6501 (talk) 00:32, 29 January 2025 (UTC)
Arbitration enforcement (continued)
[edit]Hello, it's Mk8mlyb. I was recently accused of being a sockpuppet, but cleared on all charges. Are there any articles in need of editing? I'm having trouble finding articles that need fixing. Mk8mlyb (talk) 06:35, 29 January 2025 (UTC)
- Even FAs sometimes can be polished a bit, and anything below that standard can be polished a lot. You could check out the "statements needing citation" categories, and see if you could find citations for some claims in them; there's always plenty to do there.

Varun Tandon
[edit]This article was resubmitted just recently Draft:Varun Tandon. Fairly sure this still meets G11; as the deleting admin, can you confirm if the article has changed at all from the last deleted version? Thank you! Reconrabbit 14:31, 31 January 2025 (UTC)
If nothing else, per WP:DRAFTOBJECT, I have reverted your draftification as it was outright incorrect. The reason you draftified this AfC-reviewed article, "Bad AfC promotion, back to draft. Needs to actually demonstrate notability", is a very good reason to open an articles for deletion discussion. A Nigerian "Assistant Inspector General of Police" is inherently notable per WP:NPOL. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 12:28, 1 February 2025 (UTC)
- Vanderwaalforces, nothing is "inherently notable". The article is not supported by substantial reliable and independent sources, which is what actually makes something notable. Most of the sources there are interviews, unreliable sources, and so on. Seraphimblade Talk to me 13:04, 1 February 2025 (UTC)
- I N T E R V I E W S? No please, that is not correct from what I saw/can see. I originally reviewed this draft at AfC, and was only surprised to see your log/edit summary. These sources are exactly sufficient to pass WP:GNG, and then again, this meets WP:NPOL. I don't know what you mean by "nothing is inherently notable". Vanderwaalforces (talk) 13:11, 1 February 2025 (UTC)
- I said interviews and unreliable sources. The first one you cited looks rather okay. The second has fluff like
has blazed a progressive trail in policing and has since taken his well deserved place in his pantheon of Nigeria Police greats
, so that's a fluff/opinion piece and not reliable. The third is mostly interview, but I suppose has a bit of non-interview content; rather marginal. The fourth is all interview (see the "according to him" and the like). What I mean by "nothing is inherently notable" is just that. There either are or are not sufficient sources available about a subject to demonstrate notability, but with a few hangover exceptions, "It's a..." never makes something notable.
