WP:NRU nominations at WP:AfD
Thank you for making these nominations, and of course it's none of my business, but can you slow down a bit since it's hard to keep up with all of them? Bearian (talk) 18:32, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
- @Bearian: I've only made I think one or two nominations. I asked for a slowdown Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Rugby_union#Major_League_Rugby_deepdive here, but that may not have been understood correctly. SportingFlyer T·C 18:39, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi SportingFlyer, just thought i'd let you know that some of the articles still have minimal participation. These include Lorenzo Maria Bruno, Moni Tongaʻuiha, Nick Feakes, Jojo Tikoisuva, Mo Katz, Jake Turnbull, Michael Reid, Dylan Taikato-Simpson. It'd be great if you could look at some of these to try and create greater consensus. Also, if these are closed as 'No consensus' do you think I should re-list them or just add ref improve and verifiability tags to the pages? Many thanks.

Nice turn of phrase
I like your recent "not-youth-sportsy enough" comment. I may borrow it at some point. Cbl62 (talk) 00:17, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
Emmet House Site
Ah! Thanks for clearing that up. That article was really puzzling me, but I never made the leap to realising that the sources were talking about two different buildings. --Lord Belbury (talk) 18:46, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
- @Lord Belbury: No worries! I was extremely confused as well so I went to see which edits I had made to it, it wasn't immediately obvious at all! SportingFlyer T·C 19:09, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
Question
Question, what are the notability guidelines for college football coaches. I assumed since Liberty is a top 25 school their Defensive coordinator would meet this but if not please explain them. Brosenow (talk) 23:25, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
- @Brosenow: He didn't look like he passed WP:GNG to me, but I wasn't going to send the article to AfD since college football articles are hit-or-miss. That's probably not helpful, but that was the logic I used when reviewing the article. SportingFlyer T·C 07:40, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
ArbCom 2020 Elections voter message
Category:Basketball players from Shkodër
I think you might have been better off nominating this for CfD AFTER the NYC/LA discussion had been completed. That way we might have landed in a place where demonstrably defining cases of the intersection of specific athlete and city would stay but taking it down to every little city would not - we would have a line. With this absurdly small Shkodër category not being merged (no consensus with about 3 participants), we are going to see every little burg category now. The user who created Shkodër is already on a tear creating new categories in this structure. I generally agree with you about these categories, but it feels like now the floodgates are open on them. Rikster2 (talk) 14:16, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Rikster2: That's not good. I assumed we could at least agree that the WP:SMALLCAT categories would be deletable, and that seemed the smallcattiest of any of them. I guess there's nothing stopping the other categories from being nominated. SportingFlyer T·C 20:37, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I notice your DYK hook was promoted to prep, but it should not have been with all those bare URLs, per Rule D3. Additionally, your subscription to Newspapers.com encourages you to clip the news articles so other readers can view them. I clipped and formatted footnote 1 to show you how it's done. Please let me know if you can take care of the URLs and the news clippings in the next day or so, or if I should return your nomination to the noms page until these matters are taken care of. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 22:32, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: Hi, I'm not sure I understand, as the article didn't have a single bare url at the time of submitting to DYK. There were a couple that were missing the publication name and one was missing the date as well, but my understanding is that those aren't "bare," but if this is what you mean I can fix those easily. However, I will unfortunately not be making the clippings from newspapers.com. SportingFlyer T·C 23:18, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
- I've fixed the remaining citations. SportingFlyer T·C 23:31, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for fixing the URLs. I don't understand your reluctance to clip the newspaper articles. Yoninah (talk) 00:16, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
- I'd be happy to share over email if it's an issue. SportingFlyer T·C 15:46, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2014–15 FC Winterthur season
Hallo, you participated in this discussion in its early stages. Therefore, I would take the liberty to ask you if you would like to review 2014–15 FC Winterthur season again. In the meantime, I have added texts and citations. Perhaps you would like to add a new comment, and perhaps with a couple of suggestions, to the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2014–15 FC Winterthur season discussion page. Your opinion would be appreciated. Thank you very much for your participation and please feel free to delete this message from your page, if you so wish. Thanks again and kindest greetings from Switzerland --Huligan0 (talk) 22:01, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
New Page Patrol December Newsletter
Hello SportingFlyer,
- Year in review
It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.

- Reviewer of the Year
John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.
- NPP Technical Achievement Award
As a special recognition and thank you DannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.
