Deletion tag

This article is about a real historical conflict discussed in reliable academic sources such as the Encyclopaedia of Islam The topic is notable and verifiable.

I am improving the article manually and rewriting sections in simpler language to match Simple Wikipedia style The content is based on published historians not invented

Please allow time to rewrite and improve the article. ~2026-13324 (talk) 16:32, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

Hello. The version of the article I tagged looked clearly AI-generated. However, after tagging the article, it's not me who will decide about the deletion. If you improve it well enough and the article is suitable for here, the tag will be removed by an uninvolved admin. -Barras talk 16:37, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

Page :Joel Vicent Joseph

Hello Barras,

May i know what was the main reason for the deletion of Joel Vicent Joseph ? May i know if you did a review of the article and its sources? as Joel Vicent Joseph has also been accepted on English Wikipedia for creation see the link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Vicent_Joseph . Hope to here from you Sasavara (talk) 21:48, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

Hello @Sasavara. Sorry for the inconvenience. I restored the article and made some fixes. The old RFD from 2023 doesn't seem to fit anymore. -Barras talk 13:52, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

Request to review Realjjfrosh draft

Hello @Barras

I understand that the article on Realjjfrosh was previously deleted and protected. Since then, new independent sources have covered him, including Punch newspaper, Vanguard, BusinessDay, ThisDay, and Daily Trust, and he also received an official nomination for Social Media Influencer of the Year at the African Entertainment Awards, USA (AEAUSA 2025).

I have prepared a neutral draft in my user space: User:Amonda_Lisa/Realjjfrosh.

Could you please review the draft and advise if it can be moved to the main article space? I will not recreate the page elsewhere and will follow all editorial guidance.

Thank you very much for your time and help. Amonda Lisa (talk) 21:37, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

Hello @Amonda Lisa. I still don't see him as a notable person or receiving significant coverage. However, it's not just about me to decide this. You may want to get a broader input by asking on WP:ST. I'm still inclined to say this influencer isn't notable for an encyclopedia (yet). -Barras talk 10:21, 4 January 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate the suggestion and will seek broader community input as advised. Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate the suggestion and will seek broader community input as advised. Amonda Lisa (talk) 12:39, 4 January 2026 (UTC)

Patroller right given to Raayaan9911

Hi, I noticed you gave the patroller right to Raayaan9911 because their articles looked good; however, their articles still have a lot of grammar issues to the point where they can be hard to understand. For example, on Face ID, the following sentences are unclear:

• "It was first launched on November 2017 as iPhone X released, which was removed physical home button"
• "Users must look at iPhone X and newer (not SE models) or iPad Pro 3rd generation and newer once they looked at the iPhone or iPad models and succeed"

canadachick (talk) 18:51, 4 January 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for the notice. I've to admit, that I mainly look for most basic stuff instead of language issues. I removed the right upon your notice and also fixed the article. -Barras talk 19:05, 4 January 2026 (UTC)

I was just about to make the same edit as you, thanks! -Barras talk 19:12, 4 January 2026 (UTC)

Agartana

Hello Barras,

I am writing regarding the recent deletion of the page Agartana under QD G11 (Advertising). As a new contributor, I realize now that my initial draft included marketing-oriented language and captions that did not meet the project's neutral point of view standards.

I believe the subject meets notability guidelines due to its documented strategic partnerships with Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR) and AYKANG Pharmaceutical, as well as coverage in secondary Malaysian news outlets like the Malaysia Tribune and NaturalHealth Malaysia.

Could you please restore the content to my User Sandbox? This would allow me to:

Strip all promotional "peacock" language and focus strictly on the agricultural and corporate facts.

Properly format the academic and industrial partnership details.

Ensure the draft complies with all Wikipedia policies before I formally resubmit it for review.

Thank you for your time and for the work you do to maintain the quality of Wikipedia.

Best regards,

Hello Oudhagartana. I would actually suggest you to get a new username, as your name has already been blocked on enwiki and I actually should've done the same here. See m:Special:GlobalRenameRequest for renaming your account. Furthermore, I have doubts that this company meets WP:GNG and en:WP:NCORP. So I'm not really in favour of restoring the article at all. Like no company will gain enough notability within one year since it's been founded to get an entry in an encyclopaedia. -Barras talk 15:50, 12 January 2026 (UTC)

yes, i want to nominate a new username BigGoldsteam. I am working under Agartana as a marketing executive hence my old username. Oudhagartana (talk) 16:28, 12 January 2026 (UTC)

In this case, you should make yourself familiar with en:WP:PAID and en:WP:COI. I'm currently not inclined to restore the page. You may request a second opinion at WP:RFU. -Barras talk 16:35, 12 January 2026 (UTC)

ok let me request a 2nd opinion. Oudhagartana (talk) 16:52, 12 January 2026 (UTC)

Esteban McKeever

Please hold off on blocking this user at least for a little bit as I am planning to post another message on their talk page clarifying things; we'll see if we can get through to them this time. Passengerpigeon (talk) 16:47, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

If I issue a block, it will be a partial block just for creating new articles. The current behaviour is disruptive for the project. -Barras talk 17:30, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

Barras, may I had to start over and try again expanded the article? Esteban McKeever (talk) 18:53, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

As I said before, you should improve the articles that already exist instead of creating new ones that don't meet the minimum requirements regarding language correctness and formatting. If you continue to create pages that violate the most basic rules, I will remove your ability to create new ones. -Barras talk 21:26, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

Unfortunately it looks like he's just broken the voluntary editing restriction and created another unreferenced single-sentence stub at Always Greener. Passengerpigeon (talk) 01:22, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

Ferien blocked him. -Barras talk 15:24, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

BarrasBot not archiving Simple talk any more?

Hello Barras, I think BarrasBot does not archive Simple Talk any more, the last run seems to have been at the beginning of the month. When you have the time, can you have a quick look that this page (as well as Administrator's noticeboard) is on the list of pages it archives? - It archived my talk page recently, so I guess it is running. Thanbk you. Eptalon (talk) 09:35, 24 January 2026 (UTC)

That's weird. I will look into it later today. Thanks for the notice. -Barras talk 10:18, 24 January 2026 (UTC)

@Eptalon: Apparently WMF changed something. I just checked a dry run of the bot and there is an API error. Apparently too many readings in a short time. It checks user talk pages first before it comes to other namespaces. The bot was able to handle most pages, however, AN and ST are actually the last ones to be archived and couldn't be handled. I think I fixed the code now by adding a delay. The bot should archive all pages with the next regular run. -Barras talk 20:44, 24 January 2026 (UTC)

Looking at today, BarrasBot processsed Simple Talk and Adminiistrators' noticeboard. So problem is likely fixed. Eptalon (talk) 10:32, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

Sockpuppets of HarryinLondon

Hello Barras. I am messaging you because you originally applied the indefinite block to the master account HarryinLondon.

That user has returned using the accounts The Aviation Tracker and RoyalEnfieldCT. The account RoyalEnfieldCT was confirmed and blocked indefinitely on English Wikipedia day after yesterday for sockpuppetry. There is a full report pending on the Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard with the evidence. Could you please take a look when you have a moment? Thank you. Zubarkokar (talk) 06:33, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

Oh ! Now someone who restored truth which is in main wikipedia article present too became a sockpuppet. Even I am not a sockpuppet at all. These are fake allegations made by you against me. Now it's enough I will lodge complains against 3 accounts who constantly reverted multiple edits which is present in the main wikipedia article and is only present in editing small articles particularly those which involved India RoyalEnfieldCT (talk) 07:57, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

• I blocked RoyalEnfieldCT per their block on enwiki. However, I'm not a checkuser here. You may request assistance from a checkuser via WP:RFCU for the other account. In clear cases, especially when someone is already cu-blocked on enwiki, you better report the account on WP:VIP. -Barras talk 09:43, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

Joseph Kargbo and the blue bucket

Have you by any chance read this essay about the use of salting on the standard English Wikipedia? I was thinking that since Joseph Kargbo is a veteran LTA with a proven willingness to evade such measures by respelling words, you might want to reconsider it for their page titles, as they will be recreated ad nauseam either way and keeping them under the correct title makes the abuse easier to track. Thanks, Passengerpigeon (talk) 01:01, 26 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi. Yes, I'm aware of that essay. However, since it's only a semi-protection for a limited time, it will most likely just slow done their process on re-creating the page. In that case, I think the protection is worth it. -Barras talk 14:12, 26 January 2026 (UTC)

Quick Deletions

Hi Barras, you had quick deleted both the Merlin and Harry Potter (TV) series page, but I had in fact made some simplifying changes to both that were different from the original and felt like neither was that complex to begin with. Could you maybe restore them and give some advice on how they could be made even more simple? Newsjunkie (talk) 18:33, 7 February 2026 (UTC)

Hello Newsjunkie. You created the articles about half a month ago. Whole sections in both articles were nothing more than an enwiki copy and paste. There was almost no simplification. That's exactly what the {{complex}} tag isn't meant for. Please review WP:How to write Simple English pages. If you want, I can restore the pages and move them to your userspace. You could then work on the simplification. An new article shouldn't start out as pretty much plain enwiki copy with a complex tag. That's not what this project is for. -Barras talk 18:39, 7 February 2026 (UTC)

Could you restore both to my userspace please and give me some advice on what is still complex? Thank you. I know in the Merlin case especially for example I had made changes, for example rewriting the term "ward" as it related to one of the characters. And some other things as well. Newsjunkie (talk) 18:43, 7 February 2026 (UTC)

Thank you! Do you have any advice about what language specifically you still see as particularly complex? Newsjunkie (talk) 18:51, 7 February 2026 (UTC)

I've restored both pages. You can find them here and here. In general, you should try to avoid passive language like was revealed or starting sentences like Creatively led by. This is not simple language. Try to shorten the sentences. Split them up. You find such examples in both articles regularly. And as said above, to a look at the WP:HOW page. -Barras talk 18:54, 7 February 2026 (UTC)

Move of Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München to Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich

Hello Barras, I saw your recent move of the article Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München to Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, and was wondering about the rationale behind that move. The name to which you move the article is neither its common nor its official name. Furthermore, you might have seen that the name is currently disputed on the English Wikipedia, and taking the current positions, a move to a different name seems likely. In any case I was wondering why you did that move as that discussion is still ongoing? Oh, and I just also saw your move of Technical University of Munich to Technical University Munich, where you did not give any reasoning as well, but you made it inconsistent with the English Wikipedia. Why? Proof finder (talk) 20:15, 8 February 2026 (UTC)

Hello Proof finder. Actually, I don't like the "new" name, however, we actually follow enwiki regarding article names, and they use this name over there. I've to admit, that I didn't notice the move discussion on enwiki, I just checked what name they use there. However, I'm happy to move the page again if the page is beeing moved on enwiki. -Barras talk 20:24, 8 February 2026 (UTC)

Okay, I just found it weird to do this in the midst of the discussion, which would be not allowed on enwiki. So why the move of the article for Technical University of Munich then? Proof finder (talk) 20:27, 8 February 2026 (UTC)

Erm, for TUM I was about to say it's the same as above: it's in accordance to enwiki. However, I just see that this was an error. I've no idea how I managed to move it the complete wrong way. Give me a second, I will fix that right now. -Barras talk 20:30, 8 February 2026 (UTC)

Fixed. -Barras talk 20:31, 8 February 2026 (UTC)

Sure, thanks for the prompt reply and your fix! Let's see for the consensus of the discussion on LMU Munich! Proof finder (talk) 20:32, 8 February 2026 (UTC)
