Hey, Thanks for reviewing the Page I started I would like to know, does the Page requires more references or it's enough?? JesusisGreat7 (talk) 06:26, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Infobox

Hello, you left a message on my talk page about infoboxes. I usually edit in the French Wikipedia/Wikidata so perhaps there are differences among editing styles and preferences. I think it may be more common in French to link infoboxes to Wikidata. I thought that having infoboxes linked to Wikidata would ensure that information is always up to date & as complete as possible? For example, I just added a more precise statement in Wikidata indicating Caroline Monnet's birth place and it now reflects in the infobox. Spaghetti.linguini (talk) 16:13, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

:@Spaghetti.linguini Hi- on enWiki we usually tend to use the dedicated infoboxes over directly pulling from Wikidata. I'm not sure why this is done, probably just due to enWiki being the older and larger project and edits on enWiki tend to end up propagating towards Wikidata rather than the other way around. <span style="color:#C6A786">Padgriffin</span> <sup><span style='color:orange'>Griffin's Nest</span></sup> ↗ 23:46, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

Quick speedy deletion nomination

Hello there, and thank you for your help with NPP! I wanted to reach out because I noticed your recent A7 speedy deletion ↗ nomination of African Parliamentarians' Network on Development Evaluation (APNODE) ↗, which occurred two minuates after the article was created. Per NPPHOUR ↗, articles shouldn't be nominated for deletion if they are actively being edited (except under obvious circumstances, e.g., vandalism or attack). In practice, this means articles shouldn't be nominated for deletion if they have been meaningfully edited in the past hour.

I understand and sympathize with wanting poorly sourced stubs out of main space, but we also need to recognize that it can come across as bitey ↗ to nominate an article for deletion too quickly -- especially considering that articles in mainspace do not need to be complete, and editors are allowed to develop articles in the mainspace.

I hope this makes sense. Thank you again for all your help with NPP. It's definitely appreciated! Take care, Significa liberdade <small>(she/her)</small> (talk) 20:04, 28 August 2025 (UTC)

Reply to your message

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Talk:List of longest-running American television series, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted.

You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Help with my new drafted Article: Friedrich Georg Goethe

Hello, you declined my submitted drafted article for Friedrich Georg Goethe. It included one reference, which albeit was to a Wiki family tree page. I appreciate you not deleting the article, and giving me 6 months of editing allowance before even the threat of deletion. This quote in my Decline message was nice: "
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted."
However, I am not understanding the minimum criteria. If I had one more reference that met the standards you talked about, would it then be approved or do I need 2 or 3? I know there's not a hard number, but there must be a general consensus on what could put this over the line, and into the article space I've heard about? I have already found one more reference https://www.jstor.org/stable/jj.17072613, proving that he is related to a famous poet. Katykesklinn (talk) 14:31, 5 September 2025 (UTC)

:Please see WP:GNG ↗ and WP:NBIO ↗ for how to establish notability. Notability is also not inherited ↗, so merely being related to a notable person does not warrant an article. <span class="mw-no-invert" style="color:#CBB08E">Padgriffin</span> <sup><span class="mw-no-invert" style='color:#FCD200'>Griffin's Nest</span></sup> ↗ 14:36, 5 September 2025 (UTC)
::I think giving birth to the person who gave birth to Germany's best poet is noteworthy. I have tried reading that but it was difficult to pin down, and I'm looking for a bit of guidance and clarification.

Katykesklinn (talk) 14:43, 5 September 2025 (UTC)
:::{{tq|I think giving birth to the person who gave birth to Germany's best poet is noteworthy.}} It most definitely is not, per WP:NOTINHERITED ↗. You will need to find multiple sources that discuss him in detail specifically, not just in passing as Goethe's parent. The amount of sources is not what matters, but the quality of sources. <span class="mw-no-invert" style="color:#CBB08E">Padgriffin</span> <sup><span class="mw-no-invert" style='color:#FCD200'>Griffin's Nest</span></sup> ↗ 14:51, 5 September 2025 (UTC)
::::As well, his grandfather Friedrich Georg Goethe was a poetry teacher to him and great influence, in creating Germany's famous poet. That is how he is notable. I will do what you have instructed me to do, and find three sources to support that, so it can be approved to be an article. Katykesklinn (talk) 14:59, 5 September 2025 (UTC)

Draft review Tail latency

Hello Padgriffin,
Thank you for reviewing my draft on "Tail Latency." I fully understand the concerns about notability.
I think this topic is very important because it affects:

High-frequency trading systems

System reliability and performance

How we measure and compare system performance

Many people don't fully understand how tail latency impacts system design, even though it's crucial for many applications. I encounter situations at my workplace where this is a problem.

I will spend this weekend researching more academic sources and real-world examples to better support the article's notability.

Thank you for your time. Ainiriand (talk) 14:39, 5 September 2025 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol is hosting a one-time, two-month experimental backlog drive aimed at reducing the backlog. This will be a combo drive: both articles and redirects will earn points.

The drive will run from 1 January to 28 February 2026.

The drive is divided into two phases. Participants may take part in either phase or across both phases, depending on availability.

Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled during the drive.

Two-month drive-exclusive barnstars will be awarded to eligible participants.

Each article review earns 1 point, while each redirect review earns 0.2 points.

Streak awards ↗ will be granted based on consistently meeting weekly point thresholds.

Barnstars will also be awarded for re-reviewing articles ↗ previously reviewed by other patrollers during the drive.

Interested in participating? '''Sign up here ↗'''.

Michel Barsoum prod

Heya, I took a look at the Michel Barsoum page and I agree he is a very easy pass of NPROF so I tried my best to make the article less COI-ish. Please take a look and let me know if you think its good enough to remove the prod. Otherwise I will try and save it closer to the end date. Moritoriko (talk) 02:33, 27 January 2026 (UTC)

:I think User:Bearian made a good point with the 2nd PROD- there are basically no independent sources available for this BLP and the subject, or someone connected to the subject has, in my opinion, been paying for UPE editing and promo on Wikipedia, given that three different UPE rings have been involved on it at this point. WP:TNT ↗ing it and a full independent rewrite with independent sources is needed in my opinion. <span class="mw-no-invert" style="color:#916E40">Padgriffin</span> <sup><span class="mw-no-invert" style='color:#FCD200'>Griffin's Nest</span></sup> ↗ 12:45, 27 January 2026 (UTC)

Draft:Seo Jung-wook ↗

I saw that you moved Seo Jung-wook ↗ back to Draft:Seo Jung-wook ↗.
I originally accepted Draft:Seo Jung-wook ↗ because there were two references confirming his time as a government minister, and ministers are automatically notable. I realize that the creator of the article created a bunch of short biographies of Korean businessmen of uncertain notability, but I think Seo Jung-wook ↗ passes. <span style="font-family: Times;">Eastmain (talk • contribs ↗)</span> 01:47, 30 January 2026 (UTC)

Declined speedy deletion: Bastiano Ferrari ↗

Hi there, and thank you for your help clearing the NPP backlog! I wanted to let you know that I've declined your G4 speedy deletion ↗ nomination of Bastiano Ferrari ↗ because it is not sufficiently similar to the version deleted at AfD. Specifically, new sources have been added. However, I do not think this was something you could have known, so it was still a good tag. If you think Ferrari still fails to meet Wiki's notability guidelines, feel free to nominate for deletion at AfD. Thank you!

OPPO Reno14 Series ↗

Hi Padgriffin, fellow new page patroller here. I noticed you marked ↗ OPPO Reno14 Series ↗ as reviewed. Earlier today, I reviewed a similar page ↗ by the same creator, found it had numerous hallucinated fake citations, checked their other page creations and found the Reno14 series article also had a number of fake citations ↗. I've nominated it for G15 speedy deletion as likely AI-generated content. Wanted to flag for you in case you wondered why I had come to the page behind you. Thanks! Best, Dclemens1971 (talk) 05:35, 5 February 2026 (UTC)

:That would be my bad, thanks for letting me know, I probably accidentally let that one slip through since the subject does seem to exist. <span class="mw-no-invert" style="color:#916E40">Padgriffin</span> <span class="mw-no-invert" style='color:#FCD200'>(Squawk)</span> ↗ 09:37, 5 February 2026 (UTC)

Avery Hayes

Pardon the objection. You were right to act as you did on this article when you did, as it did not have any sources cited at the time and the burden ↗ is on us. I wasn't the one who made it, but had noticed it and planned to make it at least acceptable for Wikipedia later on. You just got to it first. Does it absolutely ''have'' to go through Articles for Creation, or can it be bypassed? It is fairly obvious that the subject is notable, as he has played a major-league game and there are several sources that can be (and have been) used to populate the article. Alternatively, perhaps you could just pass the AFC I submitted it for. The original article you sent to draft space was, while not protocol, a placeholder. '''<small>mftp</small> <span class="smallcaps" style="font-variant:small-caps;">dan</span>''' <sup> oops </sup> 16:17, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

:I've approved it through AFC. Generally I just recommend against having obvious placeholders in mainspace, especially for BLPs, and I draftified it as it hadn't been edited for multiple hours. In this situation I would've probably just WP:BOLD ↗ly moved it back once it had reached a state suitable for inclusion. <span class="mw-no-invert" style="color:#916E40">Padgriffin</span> <span class="mw-no-invert" style='color:#FCD200'>(Squawk)</span> ↗ 16:41, 6 February 2026 (UTC)
::I feel likewise. For the record, it wasn't my call, someone else did it. I appreciate the speedy accept; I've never personally had an article get rejected and usually am bold, but given the rejection I wanted to ask and make sure.

Requesting a review!

Hi @Padgriffin, I have updated Laila Odom's draft ↗, please check out and review it!

She meets WP:ENT ↗ notability via significant roles in multiple notable productions, like lead as Pepa Denton in the reviewed 2021 Lifetime film Salt-N-Pepa (NPR, Variety, Rolling Stone, Boston Herald coverage) and series regular (32+ episodes, 2023 - present) in BET+’s Zatima ↗ (Tyler Perry Sistas spin-off).

Please review it, it's just a request! Kilaopi (talk) 07:18, 16 February 2026 (UTC)

:And about submitting Odom's draft ↗ for the review, I don't know who ~2026-10205-06 or Shahzad0101 are. I'm not sure if Odom asked them to work on her draft ↗ or if someone else did, or if they're doing this for any other reasons. I just don't know who they're and why they're doing this.
:I'm just doing my work on my own, according to the guidelines! Kilaopi (talk) 07:37, 16 February 2026 (UTC)
::Hi @Padgriffin, I'm waiting for the review of Laila Odom ↗, can you please do that? Kilaopi (talk) 20:11, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

Discussion

I saw your G4 was declined and made the nomination for a page here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bastiano Ferrari (2nd nomination) ↗

I think your G4 is valid. 6 out of 7 sources are identical, and the 7th is the press release. Looks like a speedy delete to me. Mainecoon1111 (talk) 23:23, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

Please think before draftifying

I have just reversed your draftification of Richard A. Mathies ↗. It does not make sense to draftify an article, particularly of academics, just because of UPE if it has already been checked and OK<nowiki>'d by experienced NPR editors in the relevant area. If the page is OK it should be left. It is pointless to draftify, who would improve it? Send to AfD if you feel the need, but both this and the earlier one I am 99.9% would by '''Speedy Keep'''</nowiki>. Ldm1954 (talk) 16:43, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

New Page Patrol Newsletter - May 2026

<div style="border:2px solid #90C0FF; background:#F0F0FF; width:99%; padding:4px">

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

thumb|400px|New Page Review queue November 2025 - May 2026 ↗

'''Backlog update'''

At the time of this message, there are 15,282 articles and 32,951 redirects awaiting review.

After the January–February drive the article backlog was reduced to 15,179 articles and the redirect backlog to 19,053 respectively. Great job! However, both queues are growing rapidly and any additional reviews are highly appreciated.

'''2024 and 2025 NPP Awards'''

74px|left ↗{{no ping|JTtheOG}} was selected as the NPP reviewer of the year for both 2024 and 2025, for reviewing the most articles amongst all reviewers.
{{no ping|Hey man im josh}} and {{no ping|MPGuy2824}} won the Redirect Ninja Master Award for 2024 and 2025 respectively, for reviewing the most redirects.

Overall in 2024, one Platinum, two Gold, eight Silver, 12 Bronze and 45 Iron Barnstars were awarded. Additionally, 66 reviewers got the NPP barnstar for doing more than 100 reviews through the year. In 2025, one Platinum, ten Silver, 13 Bronze and 38 Iron Barnstars were awarded. Additionally, 38 reviewers got the NPP barnstar for doing more than 100 reviews through the year.

{{no ping|BoyTheKingCanDance}}, {{no ping|Rosiestep}}, {{no ping|SunDawn}}, and {{no ping|Vanderwaalforces}} were inducted into the NPP Hall of Fame ↗ for having two separate years of 2,000+ article reviews.

'''January–February backlog drive'''

The experimental two-month long backlog drive concluded with 183 reviewers patrolling over 27,761 articles and 35,309 redirects, earning over 36,836 points. Congratulations to {{no ping|JTtheOG}}, who achieved first place with 6,484.6 points in this drive.

'''May backlog drive'''

An article-only backlog drive is currently underway. We are hoping to make a big dent in the backlog. You can read more about it or join at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/May 2026 ↗.

'''PageTriage'''

An attempt was made to get the New Pages Feed ↗ to sort by date marked as reviewed instead of date created. However we had to revert it due to bugs. We may try again in the future. You can subscribe to the Phabricator ticket ↗ if you're interested in following along.
