Requests for undeletion of Deepak Ballaney
[edit]I am requesting for restoring the page because I believe notability is not an issue as the subject got references from highly renowned and reliable sites like New York Times, CBS News, Insider Inc and we can find several more online. I feel the only reason for deletion was maybe advertising/promotional tone which I can fix easily. Thanks Jamalahmadpk (talk) 07:04, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

April 2022
[edit]Would you mind running your eyes over this article, please. It was moved recently to main space. I am wondering whether this topic carries inherent notability or whether it is published to enhance the reputation of the creating editor, who appears to be author of a paper on it. I have trouble determining the peer reviewed status (etc) of papers used in references, and this seems to be a skill you have at your disposal.
Separately, on Commons, I have questioned the licencing of all the pretty pictures. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 22:05, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
- The senior author is Bahram Jalali; Madhuri Suthar is a grad student, and it sounds like his project. . GoogleScholar shows Jalali very heavily cited for related papers-- we have an article on him.Bahram Jalali. These particular papers are almost uncited, and there have been a number of years since publication. Some of the places they are published in are minor IEEE symposia, which might count as sort of reliable. "Nature Photon" is Nature Photonics, a major peer-reviewed journal. The detail is wildly excessive, the code is inappropriate; I suspect it's a copyvio. Potential applications are claimed; no actual ones are cited. I'd do a merge//redirect to one of the related techniques. DGG ( talk ) 07:02, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you. I'd never have sorted my way through what appears to be simple for you.
- I don't feel competent to judge which action to take and thus I hope you might consider using your special hammer on it? 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 15:25, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
Italian physicist Lorenzo Iorio
[edit]Hello. Hope all is well. Please, excuse me, but if I recollect correctly, we started a discussion about the article on the physicist Lorenzo Iorio. Unfortunately, I did not find anymore that discussion. At which stage we are? Thank you for your help. LuanaTKD (talk) 17:01, 3 April 2022 (UTC)\ LuanaTK The material on Iorio seems at this moment to be a section of your user-talk page. The best thing to do would be to start it again as an AfC. Remember to include a list of the5 or 6 most cited peer reviewed publication, with citation counts form Google Scholar. .Let me know when ready. DGG ( talk ) 06:21, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
Caroline Rose (Writer) page
[edit]Caroline Rose (Writer) page
[edit]Hello! Thank you for the edits you made to [Caroline Rose (Writer)]. Due to health issues I was unable to work on it for a long spell. But I'm back at it and am hoping to re-submit the page in the next few months. I would greatly appreciate any advice you can offer. Postsingular (talk) 22:00, 3 April 2022 (UTC) Postsingular, I suggest
- remove overpersonal comments.Her personal life and friendships are not appropriate content.
- avoid adjectives--the work should speak for itself
- there need to be excellent third party reliable independent sources, not blogs or the like.An interview where she says whatever she cares to is not an independent source.
- Let me know when ready to review. DGG ( talk ) 09:54, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
Hello. You recently reviewed my proposed article "Hogg Foundation for Mental Health" and determined that it was unsuitable for publication due to internal sourcing and an "advertisement" sort of tone. Full disclosure: I am absolutely not trying to "advertise" this organization; it is a grantmaking organization that does really nice things for the Texas community, and it is so big that I am surprised it does not have a Wikipedia page yet. Beyond removing all internal citations, what recommendations do you have for me in terms of changing the tone/approach to make this article publishable? Thank you so much for your feedback!
KatieEdwardsCapstone (talk) 17:20, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
KatieEdwardsCapstone, notability of an organization in Wikipedia is determined not by the virtuous nature of its work, but by references, as specified in WP:NCORP, substantial 3rd party reliable published sources, not press releases or blogs or postings or mere notices , not limited to initial funding, or award of individual grants, or staff changes .Almost every reference in the articles is either from itself, or is a minor notice; the most substantial one is from a student newspaper, which is not a reliable source. Try to improve the sourcing, and resubmit; I will leave it to some other reviewer. DGG ( talk ) 06:20, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

Draft Salpassa
[edit]https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Salpassa
Hello, can you help me to give the proper format or to improve the article that I was preparing? It is a Spanish tradition, specifically Valencian, which is important to be documented. I don't know what the problem is that you have seen: the wikipedia article in Spanish was written by myself and I was inspired by it to write this one, but I don't know if that could be the problem, in any case, can you help me to improve it? did you end up posting it? Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marta.866 (talk • contribs) 14:28, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
- Marta.866, I agree we should have an article on it. But you must write it entirely yourself, not copying or paraphrasing from another source (seeWP:PARAPHRASE for an explanation. It seems to be translated from either the Catalan or the Spanish WP; you need to specify. In addition, you should make sure to convert any Spanish ( or Catalan) idiomatic usage to standard English ; for example, the "Sacred Triduum" is in English, the "Holy Trinity". "La peace of the Lord to this house" is neither Spanish nor English. "which ends today on Holy Thursday" should be "which nowadays ends on Holy Thursday. I don't think you mean that every village church has or claims to have, a piece of the True Cross, the "Lignum Crucis". Have what you write checked by someone with a native or near-native knowledge of English. And I do not see the point of copying the earlier description. from 50 years ago. DGG ( talk ) 19:31, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
- DGG It is a Valencian tradition whose rite, in the few places that lasts, is celebrated in Catalan. Or perhaps from the Valencian version of a form of the Roman Ritual. The formulation of how it was celebrated 50 years ago is, in addition to a source (which is not online but in a book, which I quote), a sample of how the tradition has endured almost intact over time. The wikipedia article in Spanish on the subject was originally written by me, obviously, I based it on it for this: this rite is little studied and for this reason, although it was celebrated in many places in the Valencian Country, as I say in the article, hardly is celebrated. But there are few sources that deal with the subject: just a few books and some web pages. As for the corrections you ask me for, the "Sacred Triduum" is the old way of calling what is now called the "Paschal Triduum" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paschal_Triduum ); in the towns of Valencian Country, where this tradition originates from, there is usually a piece of the Lignum Crucis, but I think I say that if not, "from another cross". The greeting phrase is, like the rite, in Valencian: taking the most similar to the ordinary of the current mass, it could perhaps be "The peace of the Lord be in or with this house", but if it is about orthographic things or the language (no doubt there may be many more), it can be corrected directly, I suppose: but the problem expressed in the statement is due to copying, not due the errors, that's why I didn't understand the problem. Make any changes you think are necessary. --Marta.866 (talk) 00:28, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
- Marta.866 , you are corrrect that I failed to understand some of it properly. I think thew appropriate thing for you to do is to rewrite it yourself--itis you who understand the subject, not I. Try to explain in it the things that I misunderstood and that others will misunderstand. If I undertand Lignum Crucis, it is in this context a pure superstition, and should be reported in terms such as "believe that..." or "think that". Fix the idioms. And I really do not theinkthe full historical paragraph belongs there--it's not that far back. Then let me know. DGG ( talk ) 22:18, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

editing disclosures
[edit]User:Deepfriedokra suggested that you might be in a position to assist me. I'm an employee of the Alameda County Library system and we may be interested in utilizing the Wikipedian in residence program, as I have some previous experience on the 'pedia. How might we go about establishing that? Also, it's not entirely clear to me how the WiR program interacts with Disclosure in the sense of COI and PAID. Thanks for any insight you can offer. -Libraryguy1312 (talk) 16:50, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
- @Libraryguy1312: I think you misunderstood. I told you on my talk how to handle the disclosures. I meant DGG probably knows more about Wikipedian in Residence. Best --Deepfriedokra (talk) 16:53, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

Lorenzo Iorio draft article in my talk page updated
[edit]Hello. I implemented your request. Could you, please, help me in continuing the publication process of this article? Thank you. LuanaTKD (talk) 15:47, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
- LuanaTKD Now at Draft:Lorenzo Iorio An encyclopedia article is not a CV. Make sure the article contains, first, the basic biographical information such as birthyear and birthdplace, then the full sequence of degrees and professional positions in chronological order, with dates. Next, the 5 or so most cited peer-reviewed articles, given in full with coauthors, full name of journals, and links, with the number of citations to each of them from Google Scholar of Scopus or ISI;--do this as a list,, not a paragraph-- any national level awards--(not junior awards or awards from their own university) Add major national-level outside positions, such as president of the major national organizations, and any positions of editor-in-chief ; Membership or minor offices in most societies, and service on editorial boards, do not count for much & are better omitted. Very sparse articles attract skepticism. as do those using vague claims and superlatives, or those that list all possible internal and external committes. DGG ( talk ) 00:45, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi! Been a while since I came on an academic notability fishing trip :D Found Brummett in the backlog and I think she's notable based on citations as well (?) as having served as a distinguished professor. Am I right on this? I added some on her publications, two of which appear well cited enough. Thanks either way. Star Mississippi 18:40, 21 April 2022 (UTC) Star Mississippi , thanks for the rescue. I usually add all the books, and, ideally try to find reviews for them. But she is certainly notable and the article is good enough to stand up now. DGG ( talk ) 00:54, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
Reverting draft name to earlier draft name
[edit]Greetings,
I do have a Draft:Re-mosqueing of Hagia Sophia I wish it gets reverted back to earlier draft name Draft:Intellectual discourse over re-mosqueing of Hagia Sophia for conveying clear objective. this is the dif of previous move by your good selves
Since I am not looking for in the intended article some one praised or condemned conversion of Hagia Sophia that kind of list of reactions, but interested in taking encyclopedic note of proper intellectual discourse. I wish to approach related project talk pages and users for further expansion help I wish to retain earlier draft name as stated above.
May be after completion of the draft change of name can be given thought to but in stage of development I wish to retain full name Draft:Intellectual discourse over re-mosqueing of Hagia Sophia. Requesting your help in the same.
Thanks and warm regards

Draft:Kristian G. Andersen
[edit]At WP:Requests for undeletion#Draft:Kristian G. Andersen you said and I have therefofre undeleted it.
however I see no action taken. Also, why do you need to restore deleted articles to look at them, and why does this require a gadget? As an admin, can't you directly go to the deleted article's history and view the content? Jay (talk) 10:40, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

Really, this should not have been accepted in the state it was! Johnbod (talk) 01:33, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
- Johnbod All paintings by famous artists are notable. The article has RSs that show notability , and is a basis for further editing in mainspace. It's there, where people can see it, and much more likely to be improved than in draft space. Yes, it's only a stub, but we settled 15 years ago that stubs were acceptable in mainspace. The only criterion for approving a draft is that it is likely to be accepted at AfD. Not even certainly accepted, but just more likely than not, which I interpret as 66%. A few years ago, I was looking for 90%, but the consensus is clearly about 66%, and in such things i consider myself obliged to follow consensus, not my own preferences.
- I came to AfC to help articles get accepted if possible; I strongly supported Kudpung's work at requiring AfC as a requirement for new users, because at least half of the new articles they write will surely or likely be deleted at AfD. And if you look at my stats, you will see that unfortunately I find it necessary to delete about 5 times as many articles and drafts as I can rescue.
- I see that you noticed it and greatly improved it.Would you have been as likely to so if it had been left in Draft.?
- I'd be very willing to continue the discussion here or elsewhere, DGG ( talk ) 05:37, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
