AfC Welcome

Hi, and welcome to WikiProject Articles for creation! We are editors who work together on the Articles for creation and Files for upload processes.

Some helpful tips:

• Take time to read the reviewers' instructions.
• Feel free to ask for help at the reviewers' talk page.
• Submissions to be reviewed can be found in Category:Pending AfC submissions and there is a useful list which is maintained by a bot.
• You might wish to add {{AFC status}} or {{AfC Defcon}} to your userpage, which will alert you to the number of submissions. There is also a project userbox. If you haven't done so already, please consider adding your name to the list of participants by subject.
• Several of our members monitor Wikipedia's help IRC channel, and you are welcome to join in to ask Wikipedia-related questions.
• The IRC channel #wikipedia-en-afc ^connect is used occasionally for internal discussion regarding the AfC process, and also serves as a recent changes feed, displaying all edits made in the Articles for creation namespace.

Once again, welcome. sksatsuma 18:48, 6 August 2025 (UTC)

Jeftimije, Metropolitan of Zeta moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Jeftimije, Metropolitan of Zeta. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and only links to foreign-language, badly formatted sources - could an average English reader verify the reliability of these without basic author information, ISBNs?. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Joy (talk) 05:15, 13 August 2025 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your feedback.

However, I want to discuss this. Before accepting the draft, I checked all the sources in translation, concluding that they are indeed notable. And I believe there is no problem in them being not in English per WP:NOENG.

As for your comment regarding formatting, please see WP:AFCSTANDARDS paragraph 4.

Best, Aeon Sentinel (talk) 12:11, 13 August 2025 (UTC)

The reason I'm perhaps not as lenient as those standards is because this is the WP:ARBMAC topic area, and we've already had a long history of problems with bad sourcing, and we still have at least a few user accounts topic-banned or blocked while they were ostensibly linking to reasonable sources found e.g. at Google Books, but they couldn't coherently cite them, and it turned out that they promoted various tendentious or fringe theories.

If you don't actually fix these citations while reviewing, or tag them, it's hard to tell that we're in the clear. I know this may seem like an imposition, and a waste of volunteer time, but I don't like the risk of having to waste so much more volunteer time later, all the while having readers misguided by bad articles, either. --Joy (talk) 09:36, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your clarification! I will look closer at the article's citations, maybe even fix it by myself when I have time. Only after these adjustments have been made I will accept the draft, if the plan is okay by you.

Have a pleasant day!

AfC reviewing suggestions

Hi Aeon Sentinel! Thanks for your AfC reviews. I noticed a couple of your reviews while looking at pages you had previously declined, and just wanted to make some suggestions for your future reviews. It seems like you are often directing people to rewrite their pages in accordance with WP:MOS, which in my view isn't the most useful advice to be giving to new users. For instance, when you declined Draft:Giselle Anne with the custom reason "Please rewrite the draft inline with WP:MOS guidelines", that doesn't tell the creator anything about which specific part of the tens of thousands of words in the MOS pages they need to address in order to have their draft accepted. Compliance with the MOS is also not a requirement to accept a draft at AfC — the only thing that you need to be checking is that the draft has a greater than 50% chance of surviving AfD, and that there are not any glaring content problems or policy violations (e.g. copyright or BLP violations). I was also quite confused by your decline of Draft:Rudolf Prietze, which seems to drop a lot of different links to policies and guidelines — many of which, such as WP:LEAD, are not really relevant here — without really explaining what the specific issues with the draft are.

My advice would be to stick to using the regular decline templates and try not to substitute in a custom decline reason unless there is something particularly unusual or unique about a draft. When you decline a draft there should also typically be a notability-related decline reason attached. Unless the issues with something like tone are absolutely egregious, I would very rarely decline a draft without notability being one of the reasons why. Hopefully that makes sense, and thanks again for your AfC reviewing! Just let me know if you have any questions. MCE89 (talk) 07:49, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

Thank you very much for the precious advice. I will be sure to be more detailed in my future reviews!

Best,

Draft:1win

Hello! Thank you for your attention to the draft. I have studied WP:NPOV, WP:SNPOV, and WP:BALANCE, but unfortunately, I do not completely understand what is wrong with it. I seem to be relying on independent sources and retelling what they say in encyclopedic language. Dean Marris (talk) 20:26, 11 November 2025 (UTC)

Hello, @Dean Marris! Thank you for your paid contributions disclosure.

It's not just about summarizing sources accurately, but also about selecting them appropriately. The current draft presents an imbalanced view that leans too positive. Initiatives and partnerships are great, but such PR campaigns have little to none encyclopaedic value. Additionally, there are significant events related to 1win that should be included. For example, here are some sources I found:

https://www.heise.de/en/news/1win-data-leak-Almost-100-million-user-data-records-at-Have-I-Been-Pwned-10268661.html

https://sbceurasia.com/en/2024/01/10/kazakh-authorities-are-investigating-the-activities-of-online-casino-1win/

To meet Wikipedia's standards, the article needs to balance different views and avoid advertising or presenting the topic from only a positive angle. Please incorporate these other significant events to create a more neutral perspective.

Best,

Aeon Sentinel (talk) 19:23, 14 November 2025 (UTC)

OK. Done. Could you please take a look again? Dean Marris (talk) 21:59, 1 December 2025 (UTC)

Hello, @Dean Marris!

I have checked the new version of the article, and I would say that this is a good start, however the article is still far from being balanced and neutral. I have found two essays that I think might help you, please consult WP:GCONT and WP:NIF.

Happy editing!

Best,

Aeon Sentinel (talk) 14:57, 4 December 2025 (UTC)

Hello! I've expanded on the data breach. I don't even know what else I could add to make the article more balanced. Please take another look again. Thank you! Dean Marris (talk) 17:55, 8 December 2025 (UTC)

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hi Aeon Sentinel. Thank you for your work on Das falsche Gewicht. Another editor, Klbrain, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Thanks for creating this article for a film or television drama. As noted by another editor, it would be great to have some additional citations to help support notability. However, given the reviews, it is likely to be notable.

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Klbrain}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Klbrain (talk) 13:45, 14 February 2026 (UTC)

@Klbrain:

Hello Klbrain!

Thank you. I will look into that.

Concern regarding Draft:Karl Scheydt

Hello, Aeon Sentinel. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Karl Scheydt, a page you created, has not been edited in at least five months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 21:08, 30 May 2026 (UTC)

Draft:Duncan Peck MacDougall

Hello! Thank you for reviewing Draft:Duncan Peck MacDougall. I followed your suggestions by expanding the discussion of MacDougall’s 1948 paper and its later treatment in the technical literature, giving the Medal for Merit its own sourced subsection, and adding material from Ralph Connor and George Kistiakowsky’s published history describing MacDougall’s leadership and specific research contributions.

I also searched newspapers, archival collections, Los Alamos materials, university records, and oral-history collections for a substantial independent obituary or biographical profile. The only obituary I have located is a very brief 1990 death notice in the Santa Fe New Mexican, which identifies him as a retired assistant director at LANL but provides no biographical coverage.

I understand that the absence of a fuller obituary does not waive Wikipedia’s notability requirements. Before resubmitting, could you clarify whether the current combination of published historical, newspaper, and technical sources might be sufficient to demonstrate significant coverage, or whether you would still consider the draft to lack the necessary independent sourcing?

I appreciate your time and value your feedback in order to give this WWII-era scientist a place on Wikipedia! Kkevin2004 (talk) 23:18, 27 June 2026 (UTC)

Hello! Thank you for reaching out and your work on the article. Looking at it, I think it is safe to say that the article extablishes notability of the subject per WP:NACADEMIC C1. A small note: I think it would do good for an article if the Lead was expanded a tad with information on the impact of the subject's research. Otherwise, submit for the review.

Happy editing!

Best,

Aeon Sentinel (talk) Aeon Sentinel (talk) 21:20, 30 June 2026 (UTC)

Besides, check these sources, maybe that would help

Articles for Creation backlog drive

Hello Aeon Sentinel:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in August!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than a month of outstanding reviews from the current 3+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 August 2026 through 31 August 2026.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 5000 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:36, 19 July 2026 (UTC)

• If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself from the mailing list or alternatively to opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page.

DYK nomination of Qi Zai

Hello! Your submission of Qi Zai at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) at your nomination's entry and respond there at your earliest convenience.

Draft:Armando Jaramillo Valderrama

Hi Aeon Sentinel, thanks for participating in the backlog drive! I had this draft marked as under review, and while I was busy checking a copyright vios issue, I noticed you unmarked it as under review. Please be careful about changing the review status. If an article has been marked as under review for more than 24 hours, its recommended to contact the reviewer and, failing a response, only then unmarking it. In solidarity, nil ^nz 02:36, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

Dear User:Nil NZ,

Thank you for reaching out. Yes, I am sorry about that! When i saw mistake it was too late. I will be more careful next time!.

Sincerely,
Aeon Sentinel (talk) 18:28, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

Request to review a Draft

Hi @Aeon Sentinel, I recently reworked the article Draft:Achal Agrawal. Could you kindly review it when you get time? I have checked each individual claim to ensure that my WP:COI does not lead to WP:OR. Thanks again! Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 21:20, 14 August 2026 (UTC)

Hello!

Yes, I will take a look.

Best,

Aeon Sentinel (talk) 14:23, 18 August 2026 (UTC)

Actually, I do apologize, but I will another reviewer take a look at it instead, seeing as there is some history with your other drafts.

Thank you for understanding.

Best of luck,

Aeon Sentinel (talk) 14:43, 18 August 2026 (UTC)

Thanks a lot, no issues :) Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 14:44, 18 August 2026 (UTC)

AfC August Backlog Drive: Only ten days left!

Our pending drafts!

Hi Aeon Sentinel, thanks for participating in the Articles for Creation August Backlog Drive! We've done amazing work so far, dropping the backlog by more than 3000 drafts already. We have around 1300 drafts outstanding, and we need your help to get that down to zero in the next 10 days. We can do this, but we need all hands on deck to help make it happen – if everyone who signed up to the drive reviewed just 1–2 drafts a day for the next ten days, we'd be down to zero in no time! A list of the pending drafts can be found at WP:AFCSORT, where you can select submissions in your area of interest, or you can find a random submission here. Thank you so much for your work so far, and happy reviewing! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:20, 21 August 2026 (UTC)

New draft Richenda Scott

Hello stumbling from one thing to anotherr Ive ended up making a draft article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Scott,_Richenda do you think notability is ok? If so I will formally submit many thanks david Dz3 (talk) 13:34, 26 August 2026 (UTC)

Dear David,

Good to hear from you. This is a nice start! At this point the draft would be declined on WP:V grounds, but this is a WP:NEXIST situation. There are more sources out there, and they will prove notability. I think the route that worth taking is WP:NAUTHOR #3 - for that, multiple sources that prove that she has published significant work that was extensively reviewed by other scholars are needed. I've done some research, hope this will help - you will have to find some more sources on top of this:

• 1 - she is mentioned one time here, with the authors drawing " drawn heavily" from her work.
• 2 - I do not have access to this, but I'm willing to bet its good.
• 3 - same as previous
• 4 - another review, which means notability is a stone's throw away.
• 5 - same as previous.

Overall, this looks pretty good. Please try to find some more reviews and evidence of lasting scholarly use (something along the lines of what was presented in #1), such as independent claims of her work being seminal etc. Also, check Isabel Grubb out for inspiration. I think your article can be larger in size, considering the amount of the references.

Thank you for reaching out.

Best regards,

Aeon Sentinel (talk) 17:03, 26 August 2026 (UTC)
