Question about BG&E
Back in 2010, you've added a paragraph to the Beyond Good & Evil regarding how the game changed during production, stating that the finished product is more of a reworking than a sequel. The source given for this paragraph, an online article by Edge, does not include this information. The best I have been able to do is track down this page and assume the relevant info is in the white side blurb of the printed version that seems to be missing from the online version of the article. Would this be correct, and if so, would you be able to scan/transcribe it? DreamingLady (talk) 10:51, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

I will no longer create any more articles. Furthermore, I will blank and elect for speedy deletion every article page in which I'm the only sole contributor.

- @Videogameplayer99:Please don't take it as a personal attack, it was just becoming problematic. There were plenty of warnings about the notability guidelines of Wikipedia so if you can't understand them, or the process of making draft articles, then it's probably best to avoid creating new pages. You can still contribute to Wikipedia by editing and improving existing articles, so you don't have to quit Wikipedia solely because of that. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 22:57, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi Zxcvbnm,
Thanks for reviewing the AFC of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Looking_for_the_Truth.
It has been revised and re-submitted with the aim of having it as a stand-alone article related specifically to the machinima production, rather than as a sub-section of the film-maker's biographical entry.
It's in the queue; hopefully it'll stand up second time around.
194.80.204.233 (talk) 15:20, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
- It's been declined again, mainly on the same grounds as the first time. There just isn't enough information to merit having an article specifically about the film. Add more to the Duggan article, and if it becomes bloated then we can re-evaluate its status as a standalone page. Primefac (talk) 16:17, 9 November 2017 (UTC) (talk page stalker)

AFC does not reject articles because they are missing sections (review the steps at Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Reviewing instructions). You should probably switch your rejection to an acceptance, if you believe the game is notable. --Izno (talk) 13:49, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

- @Sai mahesh44:After looking up any references, I'd say that it's just not suitable for a Wikipedia article as it's not notable enough. To be included it would need several reviews or similarly lengthy in depth coverage from reliable sources. That means there is nothing I can do, even if you made the article it would probably get deleted.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 05:58, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
FYI -- I deleted Draft:Differences in video game consoles, however under a different rationale than the one you supplied. I deleted it because the content was copied and pasted from the previous mainspace article -- losing all the contributors in the process. If someone wants to keep a draft version of the article and perhaps work it into a format that would be agreeable to the community to have in the mainspace, there's no problem with that.

Hello, and thank you for reviewing my article. I hope you can help me understand something. I'm a bit on the ADD spectrum, and it's hard for me to learn from FAQ lists and from reading style sheets. Your notes said "Article is written in plaintext, not proper Wikipedia format." Does this mean that I simply need to re-type it within Wikipedia, as opposed to writing in a Word file, copying, and dropping it in? Or is there a different explanation?

- @KJP1:I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to say then. "I fixed an error, but maybe I was wrong?" No... it was an error in rejecting the article, which clearly did not read like an advertisement, and furthermore had a number of reliable sources. I would hesitate to call it a "difference of opinion".ZXCVBNM (TALK) 23:29, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
- Reviewers are allowed to have differences of opinion. However, I would suggest going forward that if you disagree with a decline reason, you simply "mark as under review" before accepting (instead of undoing the decline itself). Declines should really only be undone if they are procedurally incorrect or go against policy (e.g. declining for MOS-related reasons). The other option is to discuss it with either the declining reviewer or at WP:AFCR.
- For what it's worth, I can see why the "advert" decline was made, but I don't find anything wrong with the accept either, so if KJP1 (or anyone else) disagrees with the acceptance they are more than welcome to nominate it for deletion.

Hello, you declined Draft:Thorns_&_Spells for the following reason: "Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject". Currently 4 of the 7 references are published, secondary, reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Can you please tell me how many more secondary sources an article needs before the subject can be considered to have sufficient coverage? Thank you.
Bennyschmidt (talk) 21:39, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Bennyschmidt: The sources cannot simply be game listings but they must be original content talking about the game. Otherwise it does not meet the "significant" criterion of "significant coverage". A game review or article that describes the game in depth is an example of significant coverage.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 21:52, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Zxcvbnm: Thank you for the quick response. The references are not all game listings. Regardless - why do you consider video game websites unreliable or not original? Listing databases like MMORPG.com, MMOGames.com, etc. have been a primary way gamers discover new games worldwide for many years - especially retro-style games. Many of the players of Thorns & Spells are in Brazil and Poland and do not always discover games on mainstream American news sites or App Stores. In addition to game listings, there is a news article on a Polish website which is original content, that is cited. The article written by the lovely staff at MMOGames.com is also original content, it was written by Amanda Brink, Portal Manager at MMOGames.com. Please reconsider the submission - or if you still feel strongly about declining it, please provide a short list of acceptable media outlets which would be considered original and reliable, or perhaps a minimum number of articles that need to be published before coverage can be considered significant.

Please refer to Wikipedia:Etiquette for more information on how you might assume good faith in the future, instead of personally attacking contributors which gets you nowhere. You have offered yet another claim with no support: "It is less than a paragraph long, that wouldn't be significant no matter what language it was written in". It does not logically follow that only long reviews are significant, and of course a review in English might be a different length in say, Chinese, Hebrew, Polish, or Turkish based on number of characters alone. In your comment, you judge the authenticity of an article by the fact that it is written in another language and is not more than one paragraph. That is unresearched, narrow-minded, and you have failed to thoroughly review a citation. There are a lot of Polish gamers, and it is unfair to dismiss citations from Polish websites because you have some bias against their language. You should instead provide some logical support for your claims of inauthenticity instead of an emotional outburst which includes a bias against foreign language websites. Your additional attack, "Basically, right now your article is an unequivocal fail" offers no additional insight or evidence to support it either - it was only an additional emotional outburst. You've yet to offer any evidence that these published articles are not reliable or original despite being published on websites that attract millions of visitors, and you have expressed an obvious bias through snide remarks.

It doesn't matter how many edits you've made in the past, there is proof of your dismissal of valid references and snide remarks in your comments on this page.

Thank you very much.
Tess Huang (talk) 11:32, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
- @WP:GNG. However this game did not. "X game is headed to X console!" articles are usually not enough to prove notability.
- At this point I am unsure if it will ever be notable enough for its own article, but I suppose it might get reviews for the Switch version and become notable. So I suggest saving the content of the article and waiting until then. That said, you can still mention the game as a sequel in the original game's article and have a section for it there, regardless.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 11:39, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

Question on child teenage cats
I noticed you were making some category changes swaps vis a vis Category:Child characters in video games and Category:Teenage characters in video games. I'm not a big category person, and am only really qualified to speak on Link (The Legend of Zelda) and Princess Zelda, but shouldn't those two be in child, not teenage? A good portion of some of their narrative takes place when they're not yet teenagers, so I would think the less specific one would be more appropriate.

Fire snake
Hey, Zxcvbnm, I declined your G6 of the fire snake redirect. It seems to me that the DnD monster is pretty clearly non-notable, so I just converted it straight into a redirect to Xiuhcoatl. I know you were thinking of turning it into a dab page, though, and if there are more potential targets than these two things, I would agree that that makes sense; feel free to overwrite the new redirect and turn it into a dab page if that's what you think is good. Otherwise, I'm probably gonna send the DnD-dabbed redirect to RfD in a couple of days or something, to give the new thingy time to stick. Let me know if you have better ideas on what to do. Cheers!

Request
When you move redirects and create disambiguation pages, could you please check the links? I am now fixing some of the links to disambiguation pages you have created and that is work that should have been done by you. The Banner talk 14:00, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
- I'll second that. And moving pages and just relying on the redirect without checking things like wp:primarytopic,makes for poor navigation as well.
- I see several messages above on your talk page which appear to suggest that you might want to read wp:dab, among other policies. I hope this helps.- jc3705:21, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
- Please don't patronize me - I admit that I forgot to change the infobox links when I moved the pages, but sometimes there are so many links that you have to choose between making sure ALL users have proper navigation and addressing some misdirected links that only slightly impede navigation of people browsing comic book lists. This was something that clearly had to be done regardless, so I don't see the issue in being "forced" to fix the links.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 10:32, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
- If you are taking the initiative to move a page to a different title and change the old title to a disambiguation page, then you should also take the initiative to make sure that all the links to the old title are going to the correct target, regardless of how many there are. No one is "forced" to do anything on Wikipedia, but it is impolite at best, and inconvenient to readers, to do something that you know is going to break existing links and not fix them. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 16:03, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi. I declined your request to speedy delete
I've now noticed that you are an AFC reviewer. Am I to take it you intend to approve the draft? If yes, is it possible to approve before requesting deletion of a blocking redirect? That would make life easier for both yourself and admins who review your requests. Moving an approved draft to mainspace is uncontroversial maintenance.
Please don't put the CSD tag back as CSD is a one-shot process - "If an editor other than the creator removes a speedy deletion tag in good faith, it should be taken as a sign that the deletion is not uncontroversial and another deletion process should be used." You can ping me if you approve the draft and want me to move it and I'll be happy to oblige. Cheers. --kingboyk (talk) 02:01, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
Belle Delphine
Your secondary reasoning of the Belle Delphine article being a "recent and definitive 'delete' vote" is understandable on paper, but doesn't hold too much weight, in my opinion. That AfD ran from June 26-July 4. Only 4 of the draft's 24 references were published prior to July 4, with a vital one being dated July 3. Also the "one or two stunts" reasoning is perhaps faulty, as besides her Pornhub account and GamerGirl Bath Water stunts, she has also received media coverage from reliable and credible media coverage for her Instagram ban, as well as her general content (both what that content is and the reaction to it). The online reception section of the draft has 8 different references discussing the reception to her content (7 of them published post-July 4; the one that was not ).
If you were to completely remove the 2 sections related to the Pornhub account and GamerGirl Bath Water stunts, the draft would still have 16 references. But that's irrelevant, because blanking those sections would be disingenuous. Her YouTube content from 2016 and how it contrasts from her 2018-19 Instagram content was covered by Rolling Stone, and that's just 1 example on how the sustainability argument kind of falls flat, in my opinion. The article isn't just listing her "stunts". It's not as if every reference provided is an article that doesn't do much to go beyond its headline. The sources, and this draft go into how media outlets receive her content (including but not limited to those stunts) and how they exist in the context of women in video games, among other things, for example.
I'd like to see if there is a way to open this up to a 1. a discussion on inclusion (as there actually 20 post-July 4 references included that I imagine can actually sway readers' opinions in an AfD), and 2. a discussion on ways to improve the article.
Thank you and best wishes, Soulbust (talk) 03:30, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
- @Soulbust:An AfD is typically a referendum on whether they are notable in general - not whether the article is adequately sourced. Thus, a delete vote in an AfD is generally sufficient to say that the article shouldn't be recreated anytime soon, because users have decided that the person is not notable no matter how large and fully referenced the article got.
- The problem is that she fails WP:SUSTAINED which says that she needs to stay in the news over a long period of time. It seems like she hasn't, since she started getting notoriety in 2018. Just because she got a flash in the pan surge of news coverage doesn't mean she is notable. If in another few years she continues to gain news coverage, then she would probably qualify for an article.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 06:50, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
- @talk) 16:52, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
- @WP:NORUSH. Wikipedia is not about propping up or advertising people, it's about documenting history, so there is no hurry to make an article. In my opinion a biography should not be made until it is unequivocally someone who is notable, even if that means waiting a long time. But if you disagree feel free to press the "ask for advice" button on the draft and ask for help. I still think that enough time has not passed to demonstrate notability.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 23:08, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

Conditional support
You made your support conditional on the fact that climate change becomes a PRIMARYREDIRECT to global warming. In the current discussion, there is also a substantial minority view climate change should become a disambiguation page. Would you definitely not support that? In my view, the primary goal of the discussion is to rename the article into whatever, making sure that climate change points to preferable global warming, but possibly a disamb page to both global warming and our general article about climate change. If you could live with it becoming a disamb, would you be willing to make that clear?
