That's poetic, thanks BusterD. I hope to yield the axe well! – SD0001 (talk) 13:24, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

A baton for you!

List of Wikipedians by GA/FA views

Hi SD0001 (and congrats on your recent adminship)! I just wanted to follow up about Misplaced Pages:Bot_requests/Archive_84#Bot_to_maintain_lists_of_Wikipedians_by_good_article/featured_article_views, as I still think it'd be a nice thing to have! Any chance it'd be possible to create this list? Sdkb  05:00, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

@Sdkb It's a busy month for me. Probably next month! (Belated congrats on your adminship too! By the way, and I really mean this, you have a lot of great technical ideas about improving the project. You should learn to code. It's the one thing that improves productivity many times over. I'd suggest starting with Python.) – SD0001 (talk) 07:18, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
I learned some Python back in college, but I've never put in the effort to re-learn it and other coding languages. I think you're probably right, as that is often a bottleneck! Sdkb  19:38, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

2025 AFC Beach Soccer Asian Cup

Hello. I see you reversed my move of this article to draft space because I had not given a reason. I chose a reason in reason dropdown menu; it is certainly not clear that the "other reason" field must be filled in unless "other reason" is selected in the reason dropdown. I apologise if I should have done, though I note I have performed a number of similar moves without it being a problem in the past. I will write something in the free text reason field in the future.

I did post a message to the creating editor's talk page with the reason, which is that it's completely unsourced. And as a newly written article, better off incubating in draftspace. Cheers, SunloungerFrog (talk) 18:08, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

Promotion

Hello, Hope you're good. What to do when the Name of creator looks same as the created draft or article, like this one you declined to delete Draft:Faheem Ul Islam created by User:Faheemulislam1. A response will help me, Regards. Taabii (talk) 12:05, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

I see you've already placed {{uw-autobiography}} on the user talk page, which is appropriate. But the COI is not a deletion reason by itself. Although the draft is promotional and unlikely to be accepted via AfC without several rounds of revisions even if it's notable, I don't think it's egregious enough to meet WP:G11. – SD0001 (talk) 13:02, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
@SD0001 Thank you for the clarifications. Taabii (talk) 16:24, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

G13s

Hello SD! Is there a reason you are not deleting the G13 noms I made? The reason you are declining or removing the g13 speedy tag does not appear to be valid per WP:G13. Are you trying to preserve them just as a dummy edit will do? Vanderwaalforces (talk) 12:11, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

Anyone can remove a G13 tag with a dummy edit. I have deleted the pages you nominated which didn't look likely to be ever accepted through AfC. – SD0001 (talk) 13:06, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
I sometimes delay deleting promising drafts that are due to expire. But, generally, if the draft creator is no longer actively editing, it's highly unlikely that another editor will stumble upon an old draft and work on improving it. So, unless you, yourself, want to work on a draft article that is going to be CSD G13, it doesn't make a lot of sense to delay deleting an expiring draft. This is also because, if an editor wants to return and continue to work on a draft, it can easily be restored by making a request at WP:REFUND. Liz 01:18, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
