The artists of FiXT

I have a question. Why are the artists with no wiki articles always removed? They are part of the label too. This is info. Not notability list.

Search the Labels website. Artists like 3d Stas, The Anix, Richy Nix, Voicians are dedicated artists. I Don't know why they are romoved. IDCWII (talk) 12:43, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

@IDCWII: I can understand your case that the label’s website has those artists listed, but perhaps it can be added as a source in the section? Looking back at the section in question, the entire section does not appear to have a source, and per WP:NLIST, a list preferably should only contain notable or sourced entries; in other words, if they have a Wikipedia article or if they are backed by a source. Jalen Folf (talk) 17:30, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for helping. I'll try to find a source. Then I'll add em IDCWII (talk) 07:03, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

And i thank you so much for your inputs. ~~asyaohsem, april 7th 2020~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Asyaohsem (talk • contribs) 03:21, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

Page "Alter Echo (album)" reverted. Why?

Hi there JalenFolf I recently created the page "Alter Echo (album)". It is the title of the fourth album by the rock band 'Dizzy Mizz Lizzy'. I thought it was OK to create the page with a short neutral text and a track list, and then call for more people to add content with references. I also thought it logical to connect the page to other relevant pages, for instance, the page about the band itself.

What did I do wrong? Please, advise! /Kmilling

Your signature

Hi JalenFolf, hope you are well. I am having trouble reading your signature, because there's not enough contrast between the black lettering and the blue background. Might I suggest white letters instead, which would look like this: Jalen Folf (talk) — Diannaa (talk) 13:41, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

Thank you Diannaa. I had to partially complete this request to maintain complicance with accessibility guidelines. When I calculated contrast, a white Talk page link would not comply with accessibility guidelines as described in MOS:ACCESSIBILITY. I was, however, able to change my user page link while still maintaining the AA compliance requirement. Thanks again for the suggestion. Jalen Folf (talk) 16:10, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

"Xilent" listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Xilent. Since you had some involvement with the Xilent redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you wish to do so. L29Ah (talk) 11:45, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Help needed on The Anix

Hi Jalen. Need your help on this page. If you have time to spare- Please do some "word fixing" of this article. And if you can pls Don't let it get deleted. IDCWII (talk) 08:01, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Contested speedy deletion for Festivals cancelled due to the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic

Hello, I have added a reason for my contest in the category talk page. Regards! Hervegirod (talk) 08:31, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

@Hervegirod: Please check the category now. I've only been able to partially resolve the deletion by creating a few redirects. The only reason that all of the original articles in the category were removed was that they were about those festivals as a whole where only the 2020 event was cancelled and that their inclusion would make it look like the 2020 festival and future festivals were cancelled, the latter of which is most certainly not the case. Jalen Folf (talk) 20:29, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks JalenFolf, I understand. What do you think if I always create a chapter for each cancelled event? Would you think it would be a good idea? We could also be even clearer in the category header, I thought it was clear but I wrote the header so... Hervegirod (talk) 09:15, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello again, I did the same for a few more~redirects, exactly as you did for the first ones. Have a good day! Hervegirod (talk)

Removal of links to Europeans

Your removals of these links appears to me to be POV. I am restsoring them Get a consensus somewhere before you do this again. Beyond My Ken (talk) 21:59, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

(1) Sometimes a link to a DAB age is appropriate

(2) If a link to a DAB page is not appropriate, then the solution is to replace the link with amn appropriate one, not simply to remove the link. Beyond My Ken (talk) 22:16, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletions declined: Draft:Dennis Cartier and Draft:Whiteout (musician)

Hello JalenFolf. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Draft:Dennis Cartier, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not unambiguously promotional. Thank you. GedUK  14:58, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello JalenFolf. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Draft:Whiteout (musician), a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not unambiguously promotional. Thank you. GedUK  14:31, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

Draft: Costel van Dein

Thank You about feedback. I understand. Please, give me advice how can i improve this article? Maybe find more press? I found and added information about his release on official Darklight Records. It's one of the biggest label for DJs. Will be thanks for help! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Olika v (talk • contribs) 22:05, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @Olika v: Please see Wikipedia:Notability (music). Wikipedia only includes artists that meet these criteria. This means they have to have had significant coverage by reliable and independent sources. Third-party coverage is what matters, not what the artist or their label wants to say about them. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 05:17, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

dj lag

Hi Jalen. Thank you for the note on my talk page. I am running an edit a thon presently for my Wikipedia Project Black Lunch Table. One of our editors in South Africa is interested to create a page for DJ Lag. The edits we are making is in order to redirect Gqom and DJ Lag links to a new page for DJ Lag (they currently go to Mad Decent). We are in the process of creating a page for the artist and will be linking from the Gqom and Mad Decent pages to accomplish this. Please kindly stop reverting our edits while we are working on the pages. thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fishantena (talk • contribs) 17:03, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

Fishantena, Thank you for your meetup's interest. Keep in mind that the DJ Lag redirect has been overwritten multiple times in the past, and in all cases, no evidence of passing WP:MUSICBIO was presented. Any attempt at creation must satisfy this guideline. Jalen Folf (talk) 17:10, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

Noted. We are working on it! I've undone the redirect and we will be adding content to the existing blank page soon. Please feel free to continue adding/editing anything constructive!Fishantena (talk) 17:15, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

Fishantena, Apologies for Boleyn reverting your redirect blanking in mainspace. I have moved related content from User:Iamshiba/sandbox to draftspace, now located at Draft:DJ Lag, to allow for the edit-a-thon to continue without interruption. Good luck! Jalen Folf (talk) 18:28, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

Draft:Silvermay

At Draft:Sylvermay the reason you put for declining is "n". I think this is from a mistake, and the intended reason isn't supposed to be "n"? The intended reason is probably just the same one already stated multiple times there, but still odd to see and might be helpful for the editor to see an actual reason rather than "n". StaringAtTheStars^✉Talk 09:59, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

@StaringAtTheStars: It might also help if we bring Atlantic306 into this one as well for an explanation on the promising draft tag. This was an initial rejection of draft for lack of notability, which has a code of "n". I was unable to find significant coverage of the artist in question myself, with a search turning up few News results of irrelevant subjects. Jalen Folf (talk) 10:03, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

Oh, no no.. it's not about the notability of the topic. It's just the reason given in the box says:
"Submission declined on 2 April 2020 by JalenFolf (talk).
n" ....
rather than giving a real reason. StaringAtTheStars^✉Talk 10:08, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

• • The reason I added the tag is that three of the references are to DJ Mag which is a reliable source as per Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Sources. Will readd the tag, regards Atlantic306 (talk) 18:00, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

The code now displays the intended message rather than "n", all is well :thumbsup: StaringAtTheStars^✉Talk 08:52, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Articles for Creation: List of reviewers by subject notice

Hi JalenBarks, you are receiving this notice because you are listed as an active Articles for Creation reviewer.

Recently a list of reviewers by area of expertise was created. This notice is being sent out to alert you to the existence of that list, and to encourage you to add your name to it. If you or other reviewers come across articles in the queue where an acceptance/decline hinges on specialist knowledge, this list should serve to facilitate contact with a fellow reviewer.

To end on a positive note, the backlog has dropped below 1,500, so thanks for all of the hard work some of you have been putting into the AfC process!

Sent to all Articles for Creation reviewers as a one-time notice. To opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page. Regards, Sam-2727 (talk)

Re: Warner Bros. Television Distribution

How can you say that Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution isn't notable? It's as notable as the distribution arms for any of the major TV networks OR the major studios.

If you are arguing that it isn't notable, then how can you argue that CBS Television Distribution, NBCUniversal Television Distribution, Disney-ABC Domestic Television, 20th Television, & Paramount Television are? I mean, there are articles on this website for the television distribution company/ies owned by ViacomCBS (CBSTVD & Paramount TV), NBCUniversal (NUTD), & Disney (Disney-ABC Domestic TV & 20th TV), but nothing for the one owned by WarnerMedia (WBDTD).

So, I will await your answer, then I'll give you one week to restore the page for WBDTD before I report you for vandalism & request you be blocked from editing ANY page connected to WarnerMedia. 2600:1700:C960:2270:21BC:B45D:BC67:C966 (talk) 05:36, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

LOL!! Leijurv (talk) 06:34, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

• Hello IP. The reason why Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution was restored to a redirect is because you did not provide sources to prove its notability, which is one of the requirements of WP:GNG: significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.

@Leijurv: I do not think that message was appropriate for this situation. Just wanted to point that out. Jalen Folf (talk) 07:47, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

Oh. Can you elaborate? His threat of getting you blocked was funny, no? :( Leijurv (talk) 08:40, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

Everyone's opinion is different it seems, because I didn't find reacting to WP:ASPERSIONS in that way hilarious, especially since I was the target of this. Jalen Folf (talk) 08:41, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

Okay. Thanks. Leijurv (talk) 08:50, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

Deletion discussion about Kill the Buzz

Hello, JalenFolf, and welcome to Wikipedia. I edit here too, under the username Slatersteven, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Kill the Buzz, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kill the Buzz.

You might like to note that such discussions usually run for seven days and are not ballot-polls. And, our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Slatersteven}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Overzealous copyright violation claim

Please take more care removing the Knights of Liberty article for alleged copyright violation. (a) The copyright source you cite (http://rashidmod.com/?p=2549) begins with the words "As reported by Wikipedia:". In other words they are quoting a Wikipedia source, not the other way round and (b) when you delete the content, your reverted the article to linking to the International Order of Twelve Knights and Daughters of Tabor which is a very different organisation to the Knights of Liberty, in fact about as far different as you could imagine. As well as potentially libelling (and certainly offending) the International Order of Twelve Knights and Daughters of Tabor you are confusing serveral other Wikipedia articles which mention the Knights of Liberty. This could be seen as vandalism and a similar 'copyright violation' change by User: Binksternet has already been reported as such. 2A02:C7D:14E2:D800:CD3A:76D0:AB8A:D53A (talk) 01:07, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

The source cites Industrial Workers of the World rather than the page in question. Another guideline to look into is WP:COPYWITHIN. It appears that the text in the current revision of Knights of Liberty closely matches that of the first page I linked, yet no attribution was given. For now, I will hold off on editing the page to allow other editors to review it.

See also WP:ASPERSIONS, which states: An editor must not accuse another of misbehavior without evidence, especially when the accusations are repeated or severe. By accusing both me and Binksternet of vandalism, you appear to be casting these aspersions, and can be seen as a personal attack. Jalen Folf (talk) 01:29, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

I don't believe it is copyright infringement to use wording from one article in Wikipedia, in another article. Nonetheless I have reworded and shortened Knights of Liberty so hopefully there can be no further claims of copyright infringement. I hope that is the end of the matter. As for my reports of vandalsim and sock pupperty, they have both been properly submitted to Wikipedia. Dbdb (talk) 02:19, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

Invitation to RedWarn

Hello, JalenFolf! I'm Ed6767. I noticed you have been using Twinkle and was wondering if you'd like to beta my new tool called RedWarn, specifically designed to improve your editing experience.

RedWarn is currently in use by over 90 other Wikipedians, and feedback so far has been extremely positive. In fact, in a recent survey of RedWarn users, 90% of users said they would recommend RedWarn to another editor. If you're interested, please see the RedWarn tool page for more information on RedWarn's features and instructions on how to install it. Otherwise, feel free to remove this message from your talk page. If you have any further questions, please ping me or leave a message on my talk page. Your feedback is much appreciated! Ed6767 talk! 01:54, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

Talk Page Guidelines

Hello, I noticed that you recently removed a warning from your talk page. Please read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Talk_page_guidelines#Behavior_that_is_unacceptable for example "Never edit or move someone's comment to change its meaning, even on your own talk page."Dbdb (talk) 02:10, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

Whoa, there, pardner. It's perfectly acceptable to delete someone's comment or a warning from your own talk page, if it's not a block notice from an admin. Deleting is not the same as moving or modifying to change its meaning. Binksternet (talk) 02:16, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

@Dbdb: Please see WP:OWNTALK, where this is described. Jalen Folf (talk) 02:18, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

I quote: "Cautiously editing or removing another editor's comments is sometimes allowed, but normally you should stop if there is any objection. If you make anything more than minor changes, it is good practice to leave a short explanatory note" I certainly do object to my warning being deleted. Dbdb (talk) 02:25, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

@Dbdb: That's really too bad, because Jalen is allowed to remove it whether you want it or not. Stop the wikilawyering, bad faith accusations of socking, and inappropriate warnings, or you'll catch a block yourself. -- ferret (talk) 02:45, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer newsletter June 2020

Hello JalenBarks,

Your help can make a difference

NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference.

Google Adds New Languages to Google Translate

In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.

Discussions and Resources

• A discussion on handling new article creation by paid editors is ongoing at the Village Pump.
• Also at the Village Pump is a discussion about limiting participation at Articles for Deletion discussion.
• A proposed new speedy deletion criteria for certain kinds of redirects ended with no consensus.
• Also ending with no change was a proposal to change how we handle certain kinds of vector images.

New page reviewer granted

Hi JalenFolf. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at WP:PERM in case your user right is time limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:

• Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
• You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
• If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
• Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 21:52, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for getting this sock blocked. However, there's still the matter of reverting all their edits... I don't have rollbacker status so I'd have to do them manually, which is time-consuming. Can you do this, or do you know an editor who can? Richard3120 (talk) 19:44, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

Richard3120, Unfortunately, I also do not have the Rollback right. I'll ask around the WP:DISCORD and see if anyone is willing. Jalen Folf (talk) 20:24, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

No problem, thanks very much for your help. Richard3120 (talk) 20:47, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

Re: ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing

Hello, JalenFolf. Thank you for your suggestions for ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing. I want to make it clear that ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing is different from International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing because the former one is a journal, and the latter one is an association. In fact, ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing is just one of the publications which published by International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing. Thus, I think ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing cannot be redirected to International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing.

As a very famous journal about Remote sensing, I think ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing should have its own wikipedia just like other famous journals like Remote_Sensing_(journal), Journal_of_Applied_Remote_Sensing. As you can see, ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing is also cited in Remote_Sensing_(journal) and Journal_of_Applied_Remote_Sensing, but it is redirected to an association, which is a pity.

Besides, I think I just introduce the main fields covered by the journal, and its chief editors, latest index and history. And I have removed some content copied from other websites. These information is objective facts and also introduced in other wikipedia of journals. Please don't rediret it, thank you. I look forward to hearing from you.

Jackmaster Funk

Hi, JalenFolf,

When you move a page back after an improper move, could you leave a redirect? A bot moves all of the redirects after an improper move and leaving a redirect means that the bot will change them back to point to the right location. Otherwise, they are broken redirects and are likely to be deleted. Thanks! Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 00:37, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi JalenFolf, this is an urgent message. The username identified as User:RoyalCanuck has restored the article David Lawrence (actor). I have revert back into a redirect. Keep an eye on User:RoyalCanuck because User:RoyalCanuck has the right to restore the article and it was previously discussed at AFD as a redirect. If User:RoyalCanuck restores it back please restore it into a redirect and warn User:RoyalCanuck for a possible block.

Joy Bridenbaker

Hi JalenFolf, this is an urgent some new user goes by the name User:Manhattan, NYC. has made a messy article titled Joy Bridenbaker. The article has no citation sources and User:Manhattan, NYC. has not put a citation template properly and the newcomer user has put the https on the reflist. I just know that she is a non-notable actress and and it needs a speedy deletion or the articles for deletion. Could you review the review on how messy the article looks like for Joy Bridenbaker. If this article is still messy it's either a speedy deletion or an "Articles for deletion" to be deleted. I am 100% positive that she is a non-notable actress. So could you talk to User:Manhattan, NYC. because the user is a newcomer never create the article that is very messy and never put the https addresses without the proper citation source properly. I hope you will reply as soon as you can. Thanks. 2001:569:74D2:A800:F549:C521:80C2:7662 (talk) 01:50, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Dotty (Scalac 3) submission rejected

Hi, I've honestly just noticed that my Dotty article has been removed. I had no promotional intend in submitting the article, and nothing connects me with Scalac 3 or its creator. The only connection that exists is that in a company where I work, people write code in Scala, but not in Scala 3, and that's only the reason why I know that Scalac 3 exists and felt that I have the knowledge to cover the topic. I'm wondering what was wrong with the article. Could you point it out to me? I've read the guideline, but as for me, I haven't broken any rules. The only problem that I've noticed is that I had internet issues that day, and I think the article was submitted two or three times instead of one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DariaKarasek (talk • contribs) 15:12, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

As a recent changes patroller I deemed that the original edit was valid. Please in future, discuss with me on my talk page so these don’t fall through the crack.

Cheers,

On Keeway page

Dear JalenFolf, I observed with sorry the reverting of my Keeway page edit. That should be a mistake, I am a Keeway scooter owner from Romania (my IP might be of Finland), and I am absolutely not affiliated with anybody from the company. In case you agree with this, please bring my edit back, otherwise you might edit it to a shape that you find ok. I have also a Wikipedia edit account, SpeoLeo, but I forgot the password and the reset link didn't arrive in time.

Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.143.100.2 (talk) 07:46, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

IP, please do not create articles unless you can provide sufficient sources to establish the subject's notability. Additionally, the article you wrote used promotional language, which would have to be removed regardless of the subject's notability or lack thereof. You may want to read through our guide to writing articles. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 22:29, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

The Gabi DeMartino Article

Hello @JalenFolf! I noticed that you said on someone's talk that Gabi DeMartino needs sources, I actually created a Draft for it with a lot of sources (and I can get more) for the article a couple months ago but someone keeps undo my edits cause she is a part of a duo, but actually she recently went solo and releasing solo albums and singles, so if you could help me creat the article without getting deleted then that would mean a lot and I should add articles for her songs (with sources of course)! thanks.

Thanks for the tip

Actually, my IP edits on Wikipedia were made before I create my account. I create the account precisely because I had the feeling that IP modifications have a high chance to be reverted by users. Anyway, thanks for the tips. I had no idea of how ruled was the community of Wikipedians. I am discovering an entirely new world right now. --JessePS (talk) 21:51, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hi Jalen, I noticed the Conflict of Interest notice is still on the Furry fandom talk page which I had responded to a while back. Are there still unresolved issues with this that I am unaware of, or can it be removed? Thanks, Xydexx (talk) 00:17, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

Cindy Dock

Hello, you recently added a contested speedy deletion for Cindy Dock. This is now up for RfD and I thought I'd let you know: Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2020 October 28#Cindy Dock Deus et lex (talk) 12:12, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

Sockpuppet

Hi JalenFolf. I want to aclare some things, and I need to tell you that Alvrix is my brother. Yes we use the same Id, and we use the same computer. But I'm not using two accounts to sockpuppet. Please I understand this is strange but this is not what you think please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ronaldo3401 (talk • contribs) 06:52, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Ronaldo3401, This is an excuse we've already seen multiple times over. Please defend yourself at the SPI page instead, linked on your Talk page when I sent you the notice. Jalen Folf (talk) 06:54, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Heads up: I'm reporting them to WP:AN3 now. (link) --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 19:34, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Updates on 75th anniversary drafts

I've been userfying the drafts per the MFD recommendation, so if new ones pop up you can move them to their userspaces. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 15:33, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Bo-Katan page?

Why was the Bo-Katan Kryze page deleted — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.4.169.27 (talk) 21:44, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

IP, the content still exists, just now located at Draft:Bo-Katan Kryze. It is not deleted. Jalen Folf (talk) 23:19, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

Why was it moved to drafts, then? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.4.169.27 (talk) 03:46, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

My advice is to read into WP:RS, WP:GNG, and WP:NCHAR. A majority of the sources in the draft are from primary sources (Refs 6, 7, and 8 should be okay). Jalen Folf (talk) 19:31, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

You're the best

Thank you for making Lynz Way irrelevant

I am not a fan of Lindsey (AKA Lynz) Way, I actually dislike her vehemently, but just made the article so that people would be more aware of who she is. You declaring that she is irrelevant and not notable enough to have her own article made my night! I must admit I was a bit upset when I first saw the article was removed, but her being totally irrelevant is absolutely worth it! Thank you and have an awesome night! Happy Thanksgiving too (if you celebrate). TradeBabyBlues (talk) 04:21, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

You're welcome, but relevance isn't the same as notability when it comes to Wikipedia. Jalen Folf (talk) 06:06, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Origins, Vol. 2

Do you think that Origins, Vol. 2 is ready for article space? At this time, it does seem borderline. --Jax 0677 (talk) 23:58, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Looking at the current version, editors did follow the advice given by WP:THREE. At the moment, I am not inclined to take this version to AfD, but won’t be opposed to anyone else taking it there if they feel notability is not met. Jalen Folf (talk) 00:44, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
