NPR Newsletter No.17

Hello Britishfinance,

News
Discussions of interest
  • Two elements of CSD G6 have been split into their own criteria: R4 for redirects in the "File:" namespace with the same name as a file or redirect at Wikimedia Commons (Discussion), and G14 for disambiguation pages which disambiguate zero pages, or have "(disambiguation)" in the title but disambiguate a single page (Discussion).
  • {{db-blankdraft}} was merged into G13 (Discussion)
  • A discussion recently closed with no consensus on whether to create a subject-specific notability guideline for theatrical plays.
  • There is an ongoing discussion on a proposal to create subject-specific notability guidelines for chemicals and organism taxa.
Reminders
  • NPR is not a binary keep / delete process. In many cases a redirect may be appropriate. The deletion policy and its associated guideline clearly emphasise that not all unsuitable articles must be deleted. Redirects are not contentious. See a classic example of the templates to use. More templates are listed at the R template index. Reviewers who are not aware, do please take this into consideration before PROD, CSD, and especially AfD because not even all admins are aware of such policies, and many NAC do not have a full knowledge of them.
NPP Tools Report
  • Superlinks – allows you to check an article's history, logs, talk page, NPP flowchart (on unpatrolled pages) and more without navigating away from the article itself.
  • copyvio-check – automatically checks the copyvio percentage of new pages in the background and displays this info with a link to the report in the 'info' panel of the Page curation toolbar.
  • The NPP flowchart now has clickable hyperlinks.

On giving warnings

Noticed a few of your reports at AIV, so I just wanted to drop you a line about warning after the fact. It's okay to give multiple warnings if they keep editing, but there's no point in dropping multiple warnings of elevating intensity after they've stopped editing. For example, if someone has made multiple offending edits and you find them after the fact, a single, higher-level warning should do. Otherwise, they're not actually serving as warnings. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 17:10, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Amorymeltzer. Will do. Would you have therefore given this editor a single level 3 (or level 4) warning in lieu of the previous unreported editing? I find myself coming across these type of situations via the pending reviews patrol, where a vandal's past edits have gone unnoticed. thanks again. Britishfinance (talk) 18:23, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Eh, use your judgment; I probably would've gone with three just because it's about the same length and still has the "may be blocked" message like 4, but a 4im would've worked just fine given the material/edit content. If it's less harmful and/or not a BLP, I might drop a level 2, maybe 3 if it's egregious. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 18:55, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Amorymeltzer. Will do. Britishfinance (talk) 19:00, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

List of association football players considered the greatest of all time

I seriously doubt the article have encyclopedic value and he is likely difficult for correction due to WP:OR but I hope it can be at least corrected to form like that (at least in draft version). Due to fact recentism here is the biggest issue I have started correction of this page with diagram in my sandbox (I put here copy from this page but honestly I do not have idea how to correct this diagram). What do you think to remove all experts with no article (per WP:WTAF) and later add diagram to this list? Obviously article still will be hosribble but it would be at least much better verion possible to correction and escape from recentism as showing ballance? (I truy find idea how to correct this article)? Cheers. Dawid2009 (talk) 21:42, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dawid2009. That chess example is also very interesting. I would not try to save/amend this article as it is TNT in my view and whatever about this AfD, in the long-term, it will not survive - it is just too OR. We have all seen the AfDs where borderline arguments are made to support an article but 12 months later it is SNOW deleted. I do think that support for the article is around the fact that editors would like to see a list(s) of greatest players. Surely, there have been very notable polls on best players from major sports publications, major sportswriters/authors, or even player of the year type awards? Unfortunately, I am not knowledgeable on soccer so can't directly point to these lists, but I would be surprised if they didn't exist, and therefore a great high-quality article could be created chronicling them? thanks.
