New Page Patrol newsletter September 2021
Hello TheWikiholic,
Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including Autopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves at AfC and NPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.
Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection here.
At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.
There are currently 706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process or its software.
Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are described here.
To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here. Sent to 827 users. 04:33, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Regarding your rejection of musical artist Jessica.
Hi, thank you for your attention.
I have noted 3 criteria for notability: Releases on major music labels. Has performed music for a work of a notable film. Is a prominent representative of the Vocaloid style Only one of these criteria has to be met to qualify of notability. These are the notability requirements for musicians: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(music) In addition to these criteria also being one of the highest ranked DJs in the world would be a notability criterion in its own. So there are even 4 criteria met. Jessica is ranked 246th in the world by The Official Global DJ Rankings, which is the defacto independent website for DJ Rankings and the go to site for Google when searches are made for DJ Rankings.
As Examples: Fritz Kalkbrenner ranked 252 Groove Armada ranked 253 Little Louie Vega ranked 263
Most of the top 5000 DJs are on Wikipedia, but around 400 are not entered yet. A few friends of mine and I are in the process of entering those missing DJs. There are approximately 7000 DJs listed on Wikipedia. Any DJ in the top 10K is considered a major artist and has typically released remixes or albums on major labels. This is how The Official Global DJ Rankings describes it: https://djrankings.org/about_rankings “The Official Global DJ Rankings ranks the TOP 10.000 DJs in the world (TOP 10K). One may speculate that making it to the TOP 10K intrinsically does not sound like an achievement – but in fact it is a preeminent accomplishment. In 2020 The Official Global DJ Rankings did a comprehensive study to determine how many professional DJs there are in the world. The study conducted individual geographical case studies and used an advanced mathematical algorithm, taking into consideration aspects such as: population, rural incomes, segmentation of clubs, GDP, religious and cultural factors. To define a professional DJ, the study set as criteria that the DJ was able to sustain a living solely based on salary earned from DJ work. The study concluded that there are approximately 1¼ million professional DJs in the world in 2020.”
It is not my objective to source substantial information for the artist’s Wikipedia page, that is for the Wikipedia editor community to do. I focus only on the few criteria necessary for notability, and source those. Then the Wikipedia community continue the editing of the profiles with more interesting facts. I plan to put up at least 400 missing DJ profiles, and I will argue their notability.
By the way Jessica should alone qualify for notability criteria due to having performed cast lead vocals for one of the highest grossing movies of all times, and certainly the highest grossing music film.
Also please note that another criteria for notability is having received a gold record. Due to the evolution of music industry this has evolved into amount of streams instead as that is the criteria today. Spotify publishes stream counts and followers of all artists.
I have worked as a volunteer on Discogs.com for 15 years, so we have a shared interest in the music industry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aucgruppen (talk • contribs) 02:42, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

Regarding Ashok Kumar (IPS)
Dear TheWikiholic, I've some doubt regarding the notability of this entity - Ashok Kumar (IPS) as well as the on the creator of the page. Since you have patrolled it. Would you mind if I take this to an AfD discussion? Your nod is important. -Hatchens (talk) 16:22, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
- Hatchens The subject is the head of the police in the Indian state of Uttarakhand. There are enough sources presented in the article to satisfy the subject WP:GNG. I haven't looked into the detail in the contributions of the creator, to be honest. In any case, I don't mind if you took the subject to AFD.— TheWikiholic (talk) 23:54, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

WP:AFC Helper News
Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.
- AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
- The template {{db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to {{db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.
Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future.

Hi, hope you are going well. Yesterday, you placed a Notability tag on Deepak Kalal which I earlier believed to be notable passing GNG and he has been in the news various times. Well, later I added more citation and information to prove the Notability. I think now this is notable article and you can remove your tag. Also, you can review it.

Addition of references on my Authentic Article.
Dear Sir/Ma'am,
With all due respect the operation that I stated in my article is a well known Operation in Pakistan. However as the Operation was held in 1992 it is not as frequent in the news as it should be. What makes the operation and its story unique is that this operation was responsible for the unification of the dress code for both an officer and a soldier. Regards,
New Page Patrol newsletter May 2022
Hello TheWikiholic,
At the time of the last newsletter (No.26, September 2021), the backlog was 'only' just over 6,000 articles. In the past six months, the backlog has reached nearly 16,000, a staggering level not seen in several years. A very small number of users had been doing the vast majority of the reviews. Due to "burn-out", we have recently lost most of this effort. Furthermore, several reviewers have been stripped of the user right for abuse of privilege and the articles they patrolled were put back in the queue.
Several discussions on the state of the process have taken place on the talk page, but there has been no action to make any changes. The project also lacks coordination since the "position" is vacant.
In the last 30 days, only 100 reviewers have made more than 8 patrols and only 50 have averaged one review a day. There are currently 732 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 1034 administrators have this permission, but only about a dozen significantly contribute to NPP.
This means we have an active pool of about 450 to address the backlog. We cannot rely on a few to do most of the work as that inevitably leads to burnout. A fairly experienced reviewer can usually do a review in a few minutes. If every active reviewer would patrol just one article per day, the backlog would very quickly disappear.
If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, do suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}}
on their talk page.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.
To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.
