- Just thinking I might be able to help with the backlog from time to time when I'm not on a research/writing binge. I meet all criteria, have done other types of reviewing and can follow instructions. I have done some work at AfD and page curation. I have quite a bit of patience dealing with new users. valereee (talk) 17:16, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

- Yorkshiresky, I view your application in a positive light. One of the key points we reiterate is that you should provide evidence of reasonable understanding of our deletion policy. Would it be possible for you to show us any such evidence? Thanks, Lourdes 17:00, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
- Procedural
Not done with an encouragement to gain perhaps a month or two of experience in understanding our deletion policy and re-applying. Please reach out to me on my talk page for any help. Thanks, Lourdes 02:55, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

- Nolan Perry, don't be disheartened. Gain some experience across the areas mentioned in our criteria, especially our deletion policy and notability guidelines. Feel free to reach out to me for any assistance in the meanwhile. It would be good to see you apply back in a month or two if you have gained sufficient experience.

- SSSB, I would suggest that you slow down and calmly dabble in CSD, AfD or related areas that would provide you a firmer understanding of our Deletion policy and notability guidelines. Please feel free to re-apply in a month or so after you have gained a stronger basis. Thanks, Lourdes 06:59, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

- I was hoping I could help get this backlog of articles cleared, and I'm looking to see what I can do to help out. Granted, the AFC list isn't miraculously disappear by adding me to the WikiProject, but I still would like to see what I can do. Always of service.
UtopianPoyzin (talk) 14:10, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
- Some background; while I have been editing primarily video game article recently, a majority of my edits come into the chemistry/geology field. Because of this, many of the big article names have since been created, and there isn't much for me to add when it comes to new pages, hence my whopping page creation of 3 (according to xtools, but a wikipedia search of pages created by me shows more for some reason). Two of those were justly taken down by WP:BALL because I did not know where to stop, but I can assure you all that I do have a good understanding of the AfD rules, and speedy deletion criteria. UtopianPoyzin (talk) 14:27, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
- Hi UtopianPoyzin, thanks for applying. You current don't qualify under the minimum criteria listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Participants (e.g. you haven't reached 500 main space edits; and we would also need to see actual evidence of your understanding of the deletion policy). Therefore, I would suggest that you gain experience in areas like Page Curation, AfD, CSD, Prod and continue editing the way you are; and perhaps you can reapply in a couple of months? Does that sound okay? Warmly, Lourdes 17:19, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
- Whelp, I kind of just assumed that my edit count was the pages in mainspace, but it turns out I'm barely halfway. Well then, looks like I got a lot to go. How should I prove my understanding of the AfD criteria? I mean, I have participated there on a number of times, but how much is considered enough? (I was originally going to review the Draft:Micro_Saint_Sharp article, but then I realized that I should apply here. Am I still allowed to comment on the articles, or do I have to be a AfC participant to do that as well?) UtopianPoyzin (talk) 02:39, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
- We suggest that any editor wishing to review articles register here first; this is to ensure that there is at least a small control over the quality of reviews. Having said that, you can probably continue editing (reach the minimum edit count at least in main space); and continue your AfD participation. It's not just the number of AfDs (in pure numbers, I'll probably be looking at 10-20 more AfDs from your side to give a fair count), but the quality of your arguments in the AfD, which should provide evidence of understanding our notability guidelines and deletion policy. If you're up to it, have at it in the CSD/Prod/Curation fields, if those interest you. Thanks, Lourdes 04:10, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

- Reason for requesting afc helper script rights - I have knowledge of all deletion criteria (I don't have twinkle set up because i'm on mobile, so i don't have logs but i'm trying to set it up and i know how to use script on mobile) and i've also created articles!

- I would like to help out. I have written some articles myself, as well as having helped at the Help Desk a bit, so I have some experience dealing with new and unexperienced editors. I did some CSD and AfD as well. I read and understand the reviewing guidelines. MrClog (talk) 08:08, 20 May 2019 (UTC); small edit at 12:37, 23 May 2019 (UTC)
- I'm leaning towards declining on the basis of some questionable editing concerns listed on the talk page archives; mainly outing and BLP concerns. AFD/CSD looks okay, though. Primefac (talk) 13:08, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
- Primefac, outing? I suppose you are talking about this incident. In this case, an editor was making edits at WP:DRN where they signed with a different username than their own (which was viewable in the history). In this case, I changed the filing editor as showed on DRN to their actual username. Because this username was (and still is) the username they have on Wikipedia, it isn't "personal information", because anyone could find the user's real username in the page history of WP:DRN. I do not know where you found any "BLP concerns". Could you link to the relevant section? --MrClog (talk) 16:36, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
- Also, I didn't know they wanted their real username to be hidden, I thought it was some sort of mistake. --MrClog (talk) 16:37, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
- It was User_talk:MrClog/Archive_1#An_attempt_to_address_your_question. I didn't investigate it fully, which is why I haven't given a straight "yes or no" reply, but the wording made it sound like there were some BLP issues. Primefac (talk) 19:15, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
- Primefac, ah, that's not a BLP issue. I responded to a WP:3O at Talk:Appeal to nature. The editor that placed the message responded with
That didn't address my concerns, but then you're a new editor.
I then asked what he meant with that. He then responded with the message on my talk page. The section about BLP was copied from his standard welcome. Do note that in the RfC that followed, everyone except for themselves agreed with me (so it's not like I had some ridiculous opinion as a response to the 3O request). --MrClog (talk) 20:15, 25 May 2019 (UTC); edited 20:16, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

User:Delta fiver (talk) , 14:34, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
- Delta fiver You've been here almost exactly three months, which is a concern for me but more importantly, I don't see any AFD experience and you only have 268 total edits to mainspace, which doesn't meet the "500 undeleted edits to articles" requirement. I think you should probably give it a few months and some more experience. Praxidicae (talk) 14:58, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

User:MJL
- Well, there's clearly a backlog, and I think I can help. I normally monitor Special:AbuseLog, but it gets frustrating to only be able to nominate the vandalism for speedy deletion. Pages like this are obviously not ready for the mainspace, but I'm really not supposed to touch the review unless I'm a participant. This request is to be rectify that situation.

- If this were a vote, I'd very strongly oppose it at this point, based on several areas of concern related directly to AFC, but also apparent hat collecting (+[1][2]) Viztors AFD stats are very, very poor and while not a requirement for AFC, it generally indicates suitable knowledge, which his/hers do not. A quick browse of their talk page, especially regarding their own noms reveals I am not alone in this. Additionally, you have only been active here for about a month and a half - which make up the bulk of your 1k edits on this project. I don't believe that is a good enough demonstration of experience. Praxidicae (talk) 17:33, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
Not done for now. While I do appreciate the thousands of edits on other language projects, enwiki has a very different set of standards compare to pretty much everyone else. This disconnect can be seen, as mentioned above, primarily in your AFD experiences, but it indicates that you might not have as deep a knowledge of enwiki inclusion and deletion policies to make a good reviewer at this time. Please keep up the good work, and please re-apply when you've gotten some more enwiki experience. Primefac (talk) 15:02, 20 June 2019 (UTC)

- Based on a recommendation on my talk page to review AfC submissions, and given the current astonishing backlog, I'd like to be approved to review the submissions. I believe I've adequately fixed the denial reason in my previous request, which was a lack of specific content requirement experience.

- I would like to participate in AfC drafts reviewing to help with the backlog. I believe I have had a good grasp of the deletion policy and process, key notability guidelines and WP:AFCR. I would accept submissions that are unquestionably notable to reduce the amount of work for more experienced reviewers so that they can focus on handling more complex cases. When declining, I would try to write comments to give guidance on improvement and treat newbies with kindness and patience. I would simply stay away from cases that I am not sure about before I have gained more experience over time. 94rain Talk 08:11, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

I was told to gain some experience in page curation and AfD and I believe I have accomplished that. However due to my lack of understanding of notability guidelines at the very beginning, I made some ugly nominations. I think I have a good grasp on the other deletion process (WP:PROD and WP:CSD) as well.
