Fram bringing up another a deletion request for the same article for the second time



Hello Ryan Shell. I would just like to bring up what Fram did to my article List of quadrangles on Europa ↗. He nominated the article for deletion again for the second time 3 month after the article was accepted as notable.

This user keeps on nominating articles for deletion everywhere without suggesting improvements first. Thanks you and best regards. IapetusCallistus (talk) 14:26, 27 April 2026 (UTC)

:Hello! I voted in the deletion discussion to keep or at least merge. I agree with you that Fram is misrepresenting or misunderstanding the list if they think of it as a "semi-random list of rectangles". That being said, I think the thing to do is to prove notability, see WP:NASTRO ↗. I don't think that it's been ''proven'' to already be notable, though. Also, if you think Fram is being especially problematic for you, then consider WP:ANI ↗. Personally, I don't know if I see evidence of hostility. I mostly encounter your articles as a new page patroller, so I am pretty far removed from the subject matter. Have a good day!

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

'''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.
