Assessing new pages of academic peopleNotability for professors is a bit different from most; they must meet at least one of the criteria at WP:PROF and the sources may not look independent to the average reviewer. You moved Shalini Prasad to Draft space even though she meets the notability guidelines 1) as holding a named chair in an academic department and 2) as an elected Fellow of an academic society with an independent reference from the society itself. I've improved the article a bit by getting rid of Who's Who and Top Academic as sources and adding the citation given for that fellowship, and accepted it.

I REPEAT STOP MOVING MY ARTICLES TO DRAFTS YOURE PISSING ME OFF — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jemlim0108 (talk • contribs) 09:24, 28 April 2022 (UTC) On "Afghanistani"Hello there, Thank you for reviewing my article. Really appreciate it! I read your message for the reason you declined my article. It reads: "Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at Afghans instead." The term "Afghans" is problematic. That is the source of tension that this article departs. If you read through and see some references, they are all pointing to a fundamental issue and that's that the "Afghans" is equal to "Pashtuns" meaning it erase the identity of all other inhabitants of Afghanistan. To be short, "Afghan" is another name of for the Pashtun ethnic group. Therefore, this article should published separately from "Afghans" because it doesn't fall under that register. It's an umbrella term for all inhabitants of Afghanistan who are not Afghans. I appreciate your reconsideration! Marathonmutig (talk) 18:35, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter May 2022Hello HitroMilanese, 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 741 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 1032 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 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.

Draft:Peet DullaertHello, please review the article in your spare time. I have updated the article in accordance to your feedback and minimized the references to just 20. Merci.Ekinglukevibe (talk) 19:46, 22 June 2022 (UTC) New Page Patrol newsletter June 2022Hello HitroMilanese,
At the time of the last newsletter (No.27, May 2022), the backlog was approaching 16,000, having shot up rapidly from 6,000 over the prior two months. The attention the newsletter brought to the backlog sparked a flurry of activity. There was new discussion on process improvements, efforts to invite new editors to participate in NPP increased and more editors requested the NPP user right so they could help, and most importantly, the number of reviews picked up and the backlog decreased, dipping below 14,000[a] at the end of May. Since then, the news has not been so good. The backlog is basically flat, hovering around 14,200. I wish I could report the number of reviews done and the number of new articles added to the queue. But the available statistics we have are woefully inadequate. The only real number we have is the net queue size.[b] In the last 30 days, the top 100 reviewers have all made more than 16 patrols (up from 8 last month), and about 70 have averaged one review a day (up from 50 last month). While there are more people doing more reviews, many of the ~730 with the NPP right are doing little. Most of the reviews are being done by the top 50 or 100 reviewers. They need your help. We appreciate every review done, but please aim to do one a day (on average, or 30 a month).
A backlog reduction drive, coordinated by buidhe and Zippybonzo, will be held from July 1 to July 31. Sign up here.
Many new articles on schools are being created by new users in developing and/or non-English-speaking countries. The authors are probably not even aware of Wikipedia's projects and policy pages. WP:WPSCH/AG has some excellent advice and resources specifically written for these users. Reviewers could consider providing such first-time article creators with a link to it while also mentioning that not all schools pass the GNG and that elementary schools are almost certainly not notable.
There is a new template available,
There has been significant discussion at WP:VPP recently on NPP-related matters (Draftification, Deletion, Notability, Verifiability, Burden). Proposals that would somewhat ease the burden on NPP aren't gaining much traction, although there are suggestions that the role of NPP be fundamentally changed to focus only on major CSD-type issues.
