Expedited PROD to AFD. Clearly not notable, no references on a BLP which is unacceptable, and has been ghostwritten by someone with a COI to the person in this article. DotesConks (talk) 17:39, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Close AFD and Delete somehow Can I suggest User:DotesConks that you stop doing quasi-admin type stuff like Prod removal, AFD creation, article renaming, starting ITN and closing discussions - because with only a few weeks of editing, it's quite clear that you don't know what you are doing. Most of what you are doing appears to be in good faith - but ... why would you ever, ever, ever, remove a Prod only to AFD the article? If you think that was appropriate, you are the last person who should be creating AFDs. Perhaps just stick to mainspace editing for a year or two, and leave this stuff to people with some experience.

@Nfitz Hello Nfitz, I don't believe what I am doing is quasi-administrative stuff. This was out of a misunderstanding about how PROD and AFD worked. Now I know how AFD works and it won't happen again. I don't remember closing discussions, ITN nominations are normal, renaming is normal, and articles that are clearly unnotable should be deleted. So I'm simply taking up the work to do it. Are there things I get wrong? Yes, absolutely and I apologize for those errors. But I am simply trying to help the encyclopedia that has helped me.DotesConks (talk) 22:26, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I said like - not did. There's certainly been other things as well. ITN nominations are normal? Very few people do an ITN nomination. I've been here for 20 years and I've never done one. But more seriously is the quality. You nominated a routine local government financing bill as "Super important". It's hard to assess just how many warnings have been given on your talk page this month alone - because you kept blanking it! Nfitz (talk) 06:15, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete. WP:A7 (no indication of notability) and WP:G6 (cleanup) because the article was unreferenced, PRODded, and the PROD was removed shortly before expiry by an editor who wanted the article to be deleted anyway. Dorsetonian (talk) 20:14, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: This article is unclear, you have to read a bit to understand that this is a religious person. It's badly written, with no refs. [1] doesn't seem to be about this person either. Oaktree b (talk) 21:42, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete per A7. This shouldn't even be a topic of discussion, in my opinion. GSK (talk • edits) 14:48, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete per A7/G6, PROD was mistakenly removed. Sarsenet (talk) 15:48, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Despite the sorry state of the article, his book Himalayam yathrakalude oru pusthakam did win the Kerala Sahitya Akademi Award for Travelogue [2] which might be a claim of importance enough to reach the A7 bar. Searching with the Malayalam spelling of his name ( ഷൗക്കത്ത് ) doesn't bring up many reliable sources nor are any listed at his Malayalam wiki page. The best I could identify are a couple of book reviews [3] and [4] but that's not really enough to build a biography. Eluchil404 (talk) 04:28, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
