Articles for Creation backlog drive

Hello Samoht27:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in June!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 1 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 June 2025 through 30 June 2025.

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 3200 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:25, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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.

@BlueMoonset I've been very busy recently, I will respond as soon as possible, I've been intending to solve the reviewers issues when I'm able. I apologize for the inconvenience -Samoht27 (talk) 17:33, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Samoht27, it was not up to me, and the nomination has already closed as unsuccessful. I'm sorry the timing didn't work out. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:04, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Samoht27 The nomination has been closed several hours ago, but I have contacted the editor who closed it to see if we can continue it. NeoGaze (talk) 20:11, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Seeking final input on PuppySpot draft & notability

Hi @Samoht27! I’m following up on the PuppySpot draft you previously reviewed. I recently posted a message on the draft’s Talk page to ask for final input, since there’s still no clear consensus about whether the subject meets notability guidelines. The language has been revised for neutrality, and the cited sources are the best available—there’s no opportunity to improve them further.

If you're willing to offer a final opinion, it would really help clarify whether the draft should move forward or be set aside. You're welcome to reply here or on the draft Talk page — either is appreciated. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft_talk:PuppySpot

Thanks again for all your time and feedback so far. SBCornelius (talk) 16:47, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize for my late response, I believe this likely meets notability, and the used sources do satisfy WP:GNG -Samoht27 (talk) 19:02, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The DCWC is back!

Hey Samoht27, the Developing Countries WikiContest will be returning for a second year, and sign-ups are now open! The contest will run from 1 July to 30 September, and the objective remains the same: improve as many articles relating to developing countries as you can to help fight systemic bias on Wikipedia.

In other news, we have a new face on the coordinator team this year: last year's sixth-place finisher, Arconning (talk · contribs)! The coordinators would like to extend a sincere thanks to Ixtal (talk · contribs), who is leaving the team, without whom the contest would not exist. After feedback from contestants last year, the scoring rules are undergoing some modifications; the new rules and a summary of the changes made will be posted to the contest talk page shortly.

If you have any questions, please leave a message on the contest talk page or contact one of the coordinators: Arconning (talk · contribs), sawyer777 (talk · contribs), or TechnoSquirrel69 (talk · contribs).

Reject AIPAC Draft

Hello @Samoht27, Thank you for reviewing my draft. I have re-worded and restructured the article, and especially have used language similar to the AIPAC article (e.g. "AIPAC is a pro-Israel lobbying group that advocates its policies to the legislative and executive branches of the US" vs "The coalition advocates for candidates for federal office to not take endorsements or contributions from AIPAC and its affiliated political action committees.") Please could you advise if there are any further issues with the draft, or if not, it can be approved? Thank you very much. The draft is here: Draft:Reject_AIPAC Sideriver84 (talk) 17:32, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Iranian barista

Response to Notability Concern

Text generated by a large language model or similar AI technology has been collapsed in line with the relevant guideline and should be excluded from assessments of consensus. — Newslinger talk 15:43, 18 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

Thank you for reviewing the article. I believe the topic "Iranian Barista" merits a standalone article due to its distinct cultural and professional significance, as outlined in WP:GNG and WP:NOTABILITY. The article demonstrates independent notability through reliable, independent sources such as Perfect Daily Grind, Reuters, and academic publications (e.g., Peters, 1996), which provide substantial coverage of Iran's coffee culture, its historical qahveh khaneh, and the modern barista profession.

The article highlights unique aspects of Iranian baristas, including their integration of Persian aesthetic traditions (e.g., latte art inspired by Islamic patterns), the impact of economic sanctions on coffee sourcing, and their role in reshaping Iran's youth culture through modern cafés. These elements distinguish the topic from the general "Barista" article. Additionally, concerns about promotion (G11) have been addressed by limiting references to iranbarista.org to verifiable, non-promotional information and balancing them with multiple independent sources.

I am open to further suggestions to improve the article and ensure compliance with Wikipedia's guidelines. Thank you for your consideration.

Onewikiuoser (talk) 19:57, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think this topic is likely notable, but maybe it would serve better as a larger article on the wider coffee culture of Iran? Something more similar to the Coffee in Japan or Coffee in Italy articles. Thank you for reaching out! -Samoht27 (talk) 20:34, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Response to Notability Concern re 2021 Red Deer Municipal Elections

Hi,

I am commenting because I've repeatedly tried to get the following draft article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:2021_Red_Deer_municipal_election published. I do not understand how the 2017, 2013, 2010, and 2007 Red Deer elections are fine to be their own articles but I am having such difficulty getting an article about the most recent election up. It is a city of 100,000 people and an article on it's municipal election surely must be relevant. The Mayor elected in this election has his own page but the election that put him into office cannot? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamsohannson5 (talk • contribs) 01:40, 14 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I believe this article doesn't meet our notability requirements. I am going based off this guideline when I say this. The primary issue is that the article doesn't have sources outside of local reporting in Red Deer, which appears to fail this guideline which requires a diverse set of sources, not just reporting primarily concerned with what's happening in this city. While I agree with you that Red Deer is a large city and am aware that previous elections in the city have their own page, I do not see this as rationale for this page to exist without the proper sourcing being found. -Samoht27 (talk) 20:38, 14 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What kind of sourcing would be needed? This is just confusing to me because there are dozens of municipal election pages with very little sourcing that exist. Why are the standards so varied? Jamsohannson5 (talk) 22:40, 14 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The standards aren't varied. Just because other articles exist that probably don't meet these standards doesn't mean this new article that also doesn't meet the standards should be accepted. If the other articles such as 2017 Red Deer municipal election or 2013 Red Deer municipal election were suggested at AfC, I wouldn't have accepted them either. I think this article has potential due to the size and relevance of the city, but we need sourcing that isn't routine local coverage. -Samoht27 (talk) 21:19, 16 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

On a side note I'd like to thank you for helping me out here. When it comes to non-local coverage would CTV/CBC/Global news articles about the election suffice? How extensively would their coverage need to be? Jamsohannson5 (talk) 17:11, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

These would be good to have and meet the requirements. If the source can provide meaningful information than that source would be plenty extensive. Thank you for reaching out, and i'm glad to help you improve the article. -Samoht27 (talk) 16:02, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm wondering if you think it would be a good idea to make one wikipedia page that has results for all of Red Deer's municipal elections, instead of seperate articles on each election. Would this be possible even if I could not find significant in-depth coverage for each election, if they were all together on one page? Jamsohannson5 (talk) 01:16, 24 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think that would be the best course of action. -Samoht27 (talk) 20:15, 28 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

DCWC closing update

Two weeks ago, the 2025 Developing Countries WikiContest came to a close! After three months of stiff competition at the top of the leaderboard, we have our winners. vigilantcosmicpenguin (submissions), continuing his work on covering abortion in Africa, comes in third with 692 points. simongraham (submissions) comes in second with 763 points, largely from a slew of good articles about jumping spiders. And returning to the podium for the second year in a row, BeanieFan11 (submissions) takes the Gold Belt Buckle with a mind-boggling 946 points from his series of articles on sportpersons. Congratulations to our winners!

Amazingly, the award for the most countries covered goes to both BeanieFan11 (submissions) and simongraham (submissions), who each submitted articles under 30 flags! BeanieFan11 (submissions) also wins for writing the most quality articles (16 good articles). For submitting 16 articles related to El Salvador, PizzaKing13 (submissions) wins the award for most submissions under one country. The award for most submissions related to women goes to both Spookyaki (submissions) (7 biographies about women) and vigilantcosmicpenguin (submissions) (21 related articles). And for the second year, simongraham (submissions) wins for the most reviews, having submitted 21!

Among the participants' contributions were 2 FAs, 5 FLs, 124 GAs, and an uncounted number of DYKs, ITNs, and reviews of every kind! Regardless of your level of participation, every contestant can be proud to have contributed towards a major step in countering the systemic bias on Wikipedia. Every year, millions of readers and editors around the globe use Wikipedia to educate themselves and communicate with others about parts of the world that often receive less attention than they deserve. Thank you for participating with us in the contest and contributing to this effort. The DCWC will return next year, and we look forward to seeing you contribute again! However, before that...

We need your feedback! Join the conversation on the talk page to discuss your reflections on the contest (even if you didn't participate!) and help us make it better.

Request on 19:11:10, 21 October 2025 for assistance on AfC submission by Kavoshgar 1667

- Draft:Arash Moayerian (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hi there, I have received contradictory comments from different reviewers. Arash Moayerian is a very well known Iranian Film maker with hundreds of reliable third-party sources such as newspapers and magazines with editorial insights for notability. I had provided these references in the actual draft in my first submission but I received a comment as WB:REFBOMB so, I moved some of them to the article talk page but I kept those of ones that are required as references in the actual draft. Now, I have been asked to return them back to the actual draft! I have been stocked in a closed loop and going nowhere. As I mentioned above, all required reliable third-party sources are already provided in the actual draft and the sources listed in the talk page are just provided as additional sources for notability matter. It would be appreciated to let me know how I can escalate this issue (Reviewer's Contradictory Comments) to wikipedia higher managers to solve it. Best regards,

Kavoshgar 1667 (talk) 19:11, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
