Hi, can you explain why you're placing notability tags, without explanation, on numerous articles about poets? It looks like vandalism. Thank you, 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 16:03, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
simply coz they dont appear to meet the notability guidelines. can u imagine if every poet who has published a few books had a wikipedia page? nightmare. --- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Notability
- It looks like there's an agenda here. Please read WP:COI. As far as notability guidelines go, at least some of the articles you've tagged clearly meet them. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 16:12, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
it wld be great if u gave examples of which articles are actually notable
re WP:COI, i bet that some of the articles i flagged up were written by connected persons, ie COI. i want to see better referencing of 2ndary resources if these articles r actually notable.
- I've already removed the notability templates from several, which easily meet guidelines. Some of the articles do have issues, including COI. Again, a conflict of interest must be acknowledged on Wikipedia; that includes that of a new editor whose only edits have a fairly clear connecting line. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 16:18, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
im confused: can u explain how an article is notable if it has no secondary sources?
- Again, see the articles from which I've removed the tags, as Ágnes Lehóczky. There are multiple secondary sources. I'm not going to continue this, because your motive doesn't appear terribly constructive. Thank you, 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 16:24, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
the Ágnes Lehóczky article is one example of COI editing in the flagged articles: look at all the additions made by Sheffield colleague Adam Piette. still confused.
- COI has nothing to do with notability. This marks the third time I've requested that you divulge a conflict of interest. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 16:38, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
i dont think i have a COI. i think Wikipedia is too inflated, needs liposuction. poets making it fat with articles used to promote them.

Hello, Redundancydunce. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. Editing for the purpose of advertising or promotion is not permitted. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
- disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 16:39, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
