@Tol: Ok, but what is criteria to fame? for athletes, official tournaments, such as world and asian championships, it is not notable!this athlete have fame in wushu sport, he is a member of iran's national team. according article's content and official news agencies, he have won 5 bronze medals of World and Asian championships in years 2008, 2009, 2010 , 2011.P@yam (talk) 09:55, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@

notability guideline for sports say that athletes are presumed to be notable "if they have, for example, participated in a major international amateur or professional competition at the highest level (such as the Olympics)". Your draft does not seem to demonstrate notability either under the general notability guideline or by showing achievement at the highest level of the sport.

@Tol: Normally the wushu sport major is not at the Olympic, but World & Asian championships are highest level of competition for their athletes. according to published news of world wushu federation website and Asian wushu federation website, about Farshid Asadian's medals who has achieved, Meets the criteria of athletes' reputation. please study this resource http://www.iwuf.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/2nd-World-Junior-Wushu-Championships-2008_results.pdf, pages 30 & 31 and this resource https://www.jwtf.or.jp/event/pdf/ev0206-2009.pdf, page 2. and this resource https://www.jwtf.or.jp/new/pdf/new110915_02.pdf, page 1.

@Payamkermanshahi: I'll review notability with that in mind soon; Doing by 29 Jun 2021 21:43:46 (2 years ago). Tol | talk | contribs 21:43, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Payamkermanshahi: I'm ambivalent about the draft. I don't think the subject is notable, but I don't have enough experience with Wushu to make a full analysis, and defer to anyone who has more knowledge on notability in this area (such as @Yinglong999, whose statement has influenced my opinion). While Asadian has competed in some notable events, I do not believe that he is currently notable because of them. They were junior championships, and he placed third; both of these factors were taken into account. I also believe he does not meet the general notability guideline; I cannot find significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Tol | talk | contribs 03:56, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the notability of wushu athletes

Hi Tol, I am Yinglong999, and I have extensively contributed to wushu since I truly became active here in late November. I am aware of your conversation with Payamkermanshahi and I just wanted to share my input.

Notability regarding wushu athletes is extremely complicated due to various regional and technical factors. Though it is best to judge an athlete through a case-by-case method, I generally follow this rule regarding notability according to achievement: 1. athlete is at least a one-time world champion and multiple time medalist in a main event at the World Wushu Championships (junior, taijiquan, and kungfu championships do not count) and 2. athlete is a multiple time medalist in at least one multi-sport event (Asian Games, East Asian Games, SEA Games, World Games etc.). For some athletes who meet this, you can refer to Gao Jiamin (past DYK), Edgar Xavier Marvelo, Lindswell Kwok, Geng Xiaoling, and others.

In my opinion, the athlete in question, Farshid Asadian, does not meet the notability guideline for wikipedia. His record only shows victories in the junior level, and no significant victories in the adult level and/or in multi-sport events. Interestingly when I searched his name online, two pictures appeared on his google panel/card thing that showed him smiling and posing with medals, one from the 2017 WWC in Kazan and the other from the 2019 WWC in Shanghai. Asadian was not a competitor or medalist in either competition and thus the pictures were for complete show. EDIT: I would like to clarify that simply being on a national team, being ranked #1 in a nation, participating in the WWC, or even just medaling once in the WWC would definitely not be enough support for notability.

I hope this clears things up. If you would like more information, feel free to let me know. Thank you for all your contributions to Wikipedia. Yinglong999 (talk) 07:56, 26 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Yinglong999: Hello, Winning a medal in any age category is an honor and creates recognition for athletes. You have created the article of the 2014 World Youth Championship, but you say that the youth age category has no value or credibility !!! I do not know the reason for your opposition to Farshid Asadian's article on Wikipedia ?! However, he has won five bronze medals at the Asian Championships and the World Championships in 2008-2009 and 2011 and can have article in wikipedia.P@yam (talk) 22:08, 26 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Payamkermanshahi: Hello Payamkermanshahi. Firstly I am not sure if more than one person can be conversing on someone else's talk page in a single section. If we need to we can transfer this over to yours or mine. Now, what I created was the 2014 Nanjing Youth Wushu Tournament, not the world junior championships for that year. The sport of wushu was featured as an invitational sport in the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics, a notable multi-sport event. Just because this competition was important, this doesn't mean anyone who won or competed in it is notable and likewise, just because numerous notable high level athletes may compete in some random competition or be involved in some organization, it does not mean that the organization or competition would automatically be assumed to be notable. This holds true for the WJWC and the AJWC. I am sorry but I still think the article in question, Farshid Asadian, would not meet the notability guideline. Other Iranian athletes (such as Ehsan Peighambari and Farshad Arabi) may be of your interest to develop. Both athletes are multiple-time medalists at the WWC and have victories at multi-sport events (Peighambari: Asian Games, World Combat Games, Beijing 2008; Arabi: World Combat Games, World Games) I hope you will understand my viewpoint. Yinglong999 (talk) 22:37, 26 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In response to your claim, I must say that you first entered into a conversation between me and Tol, and if there is any criticism, it is you, not me! In addition, the World and Asian Youth Championships are in the calendar of the World Federation and can create a reputation for athletes. Your opinion is respectable but not decisive.P@yam (talk) 22:48, 26 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Just a reminder that every time you tag a page for deletion (CSD, PROD, AFD/TFD/MFD/etc.), you need to post a notice on the talk page of the page creator so they are aware that a page they created might be deleted and the reason why. I noticed that you use

Hi, Hope your good. I was wondering if you could change the bot that updates Template:COVID-19 vaccination data in Africa to reflect the “total dose” count instead of just “Number of unique individuals who have received at least one dose” or to have 4 columns. One for total doses, one for at people with 1 dose, one for fully vaccinated people and finally the percentage of population vaccinated. Thanks TapticInfo (talk) 20:41, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@TapticInfo: I could certainly do that. I'd prefer consensus at Template talk:COVID-19 vaccination data in Africa first, though (or at least nobody opposing this). Tol | talk | contribs 00:02, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Tol: Sure, I have done so. TapticInfo (talk) 08:12, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@ Tol: For task 1A on Template:COVID-19 vaccination data in Africa, I changed the link of each page from the “pandemic” to the “vaccination” page but the bot replaced the edit. Please if possible change the bot from doing so TapticInfo (talk) 20:50, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@TapticInfo: The bot doesn't exactly "undo" your edit, it just generates the wikitext from scratch each time. Changing the wikitext once won't prevent it from getting overwritten each time. I can, however, change the wikitext generation to link to "vaccination" pages. It doesn't look like there's any opposition at Template talk:COVID-19 vaccination data in Africa, so I'll roll out a change within the next few days. As for adding columns, this would require a complete overhaul of both the data extraction and wikitext generation, but I should be able to do that within a week. Tol | talk | contribs 21:15, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Tol I think just leave the columns, just change the page links for now TapticInfo (talk) 12:51, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tol, I noticed TolBot changed link articles from "Covid-19 vaccination in" to "Covid-19 pandemic in". The link articles should be vaccination articles. "Template:COVID-19 vaccination data in Africa" links to vaccination articles. Could you update the bot not to change the link article field?―― Phoenix7777 (talk) 02:06, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Phoenix7777: I implemented the change to Template:COVID-19 vaccination data in Africa after a request and no opposition on the talk page. The bot does not change the link (or revert your edit), it rather generates new wikitext each time it is run (with the "pandemic" links, as it is programmed to do). Please demonstrate consensus (or no opposition) on Template talk:COVID-19 vaccination data, then let me know here, and I'll make the change.

Thank you for informing me of this, Tol. I thought that by 'minor' it meant small edits. Like changing spelling, adding a word or two, or fixing a sentence. You are most helpful, good sir/madam. Or should I say, "good human"? I think I should. Because I just did :0 :). Once again, many thanks. What is the page in question?

Yours most thankfully,

PS: I've just had a thought... I'm not so much a 'minor' editor now, am I? More like a mixed editor... Do excuse my habit of writing down my alleged train of thought, good human. I say 'alleged', because I toy with humour on a daily basis. You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to figure out what that has to do with my previous sentences. Far from it, in fact. Enough! I must stop talking, otherwise I shall be the death of you.

@ItsJustdancefan: It has some grammar issues (some erroneous capitalisation, will launched is wrong) and the tone is poor (offering a lot of premium TV and Movies for free and 50 channels to watch sounds promotional to me). Additionally, I don't know if it demonstrates notability well enough — all of the references are from its launch. There should ideally be more on the service itself.

Hi Tol! I'm still learning and I'm not sure how to proceed. I found an article I want to edit (so I can understand and guide my students in this process). In the article, there's a statement which provides a link to a graph (that "does not exist anymore") from an an article that one can only read in its entirety with a subscription. As a result, the statement is not verifiable (not by me, at least). How would you edit that? My instinct is to remove the broken link to the graph and add the words "[graph/data required]" after the citation, but leave the citation there. Please advise. Thanks for your assistance!

Hi Tol, I tried to reply (edit) as you suggested, but my questions don't seem to reach you any other way than from my "Ask your mentor" box. This is the third time I'm writing this. I've tried the "edit source" at the top of your Talk page and "edit" directly above our conversation (where the heading Question from Chemkatz shows up).
