Devonian Wombat (talk) 09:49, 25 April 2021 (UTC)Chuggaaconroy
I had a look through the Chuggaaconroy draft, and I must say you've done an excellent job with it. I thought the sentences flowed well, its wording is not promotional, and the sourcing is good, the ones you identified on my talk page definitely showcase notability. With regard to your concerns about the reception section, I do think that the changes you're planning to make would improve it, and I would also recommend removing Gamepur as a source, though Mashable and Softonic are fine. All in all, great work. Devonian Wombat (talk) 06:41, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
- @Devonian Wombat Thank you so much for reading through it, I really appreciate it. I'll try to take your advice and fix up the Reception section, and then I'll try to finish it up and hopefully submit it by next week. I hope it does get accepted and finally restored. PantheonRadiance (talk) 21:54, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
Gave the draft a follow up review as you asked, and I can't find anything wrong with it. Nothing more to say really, the recent changes you made to the draft fixed the few problems it had. Devonian Wombat (talk) 11:20, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
- @Devonian Wombat: Okay, thanks. Just went ahead and submitted it, once again I really appreciated your feedback. PantheonRadiance (talk) 20:07, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
- I reviewed your draft and rejected it. Here are the problems with it. First, I could not find a reference where somebody is providing in-depth information that wasn't simply echoing whatever Chuggaaconroy said himself. Getting profiled in Wired and NYT is good (for promotion) but not-so-good for establishing notability unless the journalist adds some independent content with their own opinion/research/etc. There are also far too many references and not all of them relevant. For example, you don't really need so many links on the sentence that starts with "On his primary YouTube channel, Rosales-Birou has produced ...." and you don't need two references to support an factoid is one will do just the same. The language is also still unencyclopedic in places if not a little fanboyesque. For example, why describe him as a "prominent" Let's Player in the lede? Also, who decided that he was "best known" for his "comprehensive" (?) videos? This language is not encyclopedic nor neutral. There are other statements that don't appear to be supported (although I'd question if they are even needed at all) such as "He was initially inspired to make Let's Plays by personalities such as .." Hope that helps. It needs to be shorter, less referencing, more to the point, remove the fluff, keep the tone factual and encyclopedia, if in doubt remove the adjective.

- @HighKing: As a good faith response, I have to disagree with some of the criticism you made, mainly because I already addressed a lot of the concerns you talked about.

- First off, you should have read the notes I placed on the Talk page. I forgot to write a comment telling the person who reviews the article to check that first, my apologies.
- Second off, I take it that "echoing whatever Chuggaaconroy said himself" refers to primary vs. secondary sourcing, and I have to object to you not finding a single source with in-depth information. Wired and the NYT are already considered as reliable sources independent of Chuggaaconroy; those articles weren't written to state that one should "subscribe" to his channel but to report information about his content, and the Wired source especially counts as in-depth information on Chuggaaconroy's videos (he is the main focus of the article after all).
- For the Wired article, it counts as a secondary source as it mostly consists of synthesized information from both him and his videos, along with other primary sources; it isn't a mere Q/A article where most of the text consists only of statements made directly from Chuggaaconroy. While the article does contain SOME quotes from him, the writer clearly interpreted the quotes such that it stands as a secondary source with the author's own analysis.
- While it could have been longer, the New York Times source had two paragraphs which discussed his channel along with how his channel grew in popularity, and while quotes are used, the section doesn't entirely consist of it and for the most part is independent and secondary (for clarification, I judge an article on whether or not the amount of primary info on the subject outweighs the secondary analysis of such info).
- Second off, I take it that "echoing whatever Chuggaaconroy said himself" refers to primary vs. secondary sourcing, and I have to object to you not finding a single source with in-depth information. Wired and the NYT are already considered as reliable sources independent of Chuggaaconroy; those articles weren't written to state that one should "subscribe" to his channel but to report information about his content, and the Wired source especially counts as in-depth information on Chuggaaconroy's videos (he is the main focus of the article after all).
- And third, "also, who decided that he was "best known" for his "comprehensive" (?) videos? This language is not encyclopedic nor neutral."
- He is best known for his comprehensive walkthrough videos because that's exactly what multiple secondary sources have described his video content as, which is already addressed in the body of the article under the "Commentary and Video Style" section. The "comprehensive" adjective is used as a synonym for "informative" and to describe his video style; as aforementioned, his gaming videos consist of him showcasing every aspect of whatever game he plays to 100% completion (as in, every quest, boss battle, Easter egg and whatnot), which different sources in the article already touched upon. I merely synthesized that information into that sentence, establishing a claim of importance. (although if you really wanna split hairs, the aforementioned Wired article considers him best-known for that; I quoted a sentence from that article and put it in the section). It isn't fanboyism in the slightest and it's completely neutral - if I were to say "he is best known for his amazing or critically acclaimed videos" or "he's one of the most well-known YouTubers in the Let's Play community" without finding any exceptional source for that claim, then maybe your argument would have some ground to stand on. However, I based the diction of that sentence solely off of the sources I found which discuss his content, and I made extra sure to remove the puffery in the article itself. I also find it funny that a generally formal word such as "comprehensive" is apparently not "encyclopedic."
- As for other miscellaneous notes:
- How was the article not straight to the point? The article clearly states that he's a Let's Player who makes detailed, informative video walkthroughs on Nintendo games.
- "There are other statements that don't appear to be supported (although I'd question if they are even needed at all) such as 'He was initially inspired to make Let's Plays by personalities such as ..'" - That information is relevant because Proton Jon not only inspired Chuggaaconroy to pursue Let's Plays, but he along with Chugga created the collab channel The Runaway Guys, which is explained in the sub-section later on and is confirmed in the Wired article and the Girls on Games interview. Omitting that information would make his history as a YouTuber incomplete as it would remove Proton Jon's influence on Chuggaaconroy, and would leave a hole in the information for TRG. Also, I put the references at the end of the short paragraph because I didn't want to add a citation on every sentence; that would break up the flow of the paragraph (think "The sky is blue[1] and consists of clouds[2][3]"). The only exception is the paragraph listing the games he's made videos on, which I used for verifiable proof and examples of his tendency to make Let's Plays based on Nintendo games. Of course, some of them can be deleted.
- Finally, I wanted to establish this point, since you brought up the idea on fanboyism.
- My intentions to restore the article weren't to promote his channel, which of course is contrary to Wikipedia's purpose. Rather, in a good faith rationale, my purpose was to improve the coverage of Let's Play channels on this site along with the Let's Play genre as a whole, specifically to distinguish between Let's Play channels who typically play games in a humorous manner (think Markiplier and Jacksepticeye) and LP channels who aim to make their videos informative akin to walkthroughs, like TheRadBrad and of course Chuggaaconroy. If Chuggaaconroy's coverage solely consisted of references with trivial 1-2 sentence mentions or name drops, I wouldn't have even bothered to restore this article in the first place. But the Wired article alone significantly covers him, and other sources which mention him in at least 100 words or more prove otherwise. While he hasn't received as much coverage as the likes of PewDiePie, the coverage he has received is relevant and significant enough to warrant him having a Wikipedia article.
- Anyway, thanks for reviewing the draft regardless, and I apologize in advance if I sound a bit hostile in this response; I had a long week finishing up schoolwork and I'm not in the most upbeat mood.

Draft:Vinesauce
I skipped it because it's not a straightforward case. I'll let another admin look at it. The draft has been deleted 5 times before this one, and for different reasons. I believe the restoration will have to be selective. Jay (talk) 06:56, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
- Oh okay. The reason why I wanted it to be restored was because I found 20 secondary sources from reliable outlets which talked about the streaming group's videos and gaming content. Sites such as Kotaku ([1], [2], [3] [4]), VG247 ([1]), PCGamer ([1]), Vice ([1]), The Daily Dot ([1], [2]) and Nintendo Life ([1]) have covered their videos in significant enough detail which should satisfy WP:WEB and WP:BASIC. However, the draft had been rejected multiple times because most of the sources used came from either the group themselves or unreliable blogs, and it perplexed me how the draft editors failed to even acknowledge these sources, let alone use them. If you could find another admin, that would be great. I'll post the full list to the original editors of the article once the draft gets restored. PantheonRadiance (talk) 21:56, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

A Barnstar for you!
Sometimes, people do things that they'd rather not do, maybe someday there'll be a "sewer cleaning" barnstar for those who do the really erm, "stinky", jobs. But for now there's this one. Good work on Keemstar.

Draft:Northernlion
Hey there,
first of all, thanks for the help on the draft! I aprreciate it :)
Secondly, I kind of left the whole draft alone, since I got a message that "Submission is about a person not yet shown to meet notability guidelines", so I figured no matter how much I'd continue to tinker it wouldn't really matter. Did I get that right or was it also due to a lack of quality that the draft has been rejected? I was hoping you could help me with this since I can't seem to find an answer elsewhere.
Either way, have a nice day! Mika Müller-Popkes (talk) 13:36, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
- @Mika Müller-Popkes: Hello, hope you're having a wonderful day (or night) as you read this, and I should thank you for creating the draft on Northernlion in the first place. I won't say that I'm a hardcore fan of his, but I've watched a couple of his Binding of Isaac videos in the past and I've enjoyed them quite a bit!
- To answer your question, the main reason why Northernlion's draft got declined wasn't because of a lack of quality per se, but rather the draft didn't fulfill the requirements necessary for a topic or person to have an article on Wikipedia. Wikipedia has tons of guidelines regarding the general content we cover on this website, but arguably the most important guideline we follow is the notability guideline, which is the criteria that the draft didn't meet at that period of time. The notability guidelines itself has a ton of different pages depending on the topic, but simply put, see the general guideline. It says that in order for any topic or person to have a Wikipedia article, they must have received significant coverage in secondary sources (such as news articles, books, and in some cases interviews) that are reliable and independent of the subject. There's no minimum number of sources, but generally two or three good sources are acceptable. To get an idea of acceptable sources on Wikipedia, think about articles from news outlets like The New York Times, The Guardian or even IGN and Polygon.
- At the time I discovered the draft around April 2022, the Northernlion page mainly consisted of his own YouTube videos, his own tweets or other primary or questionable sources. While in some cases you're allowed to use primary sources directly from him such as his YouTube videos and tweets, articles on Wikipedia should contain information mostly from secondary sources, either from published books or media outlets. That's why KylieTastic declined the draft, because it needed more secondary sources that significantly covered him and/or his video content.
- Fortunately, you're in luck! These past few months I searched for articles for Northernlion and found several that determine his notability. Sources such as Polygon, TubeFilter, TechRadar, Yahoo! News and PC Games are all considered reliable on Wikipedia, and they have covered Northernlion's career enough for me to base information around. So he's quite close to passing WP:GNG - I haven't submitted it yet however because I want to add a few more edits later on. But it should be mostly fine now.
- Finally, if you want to continue making articles yourself, here a couple of resources I consult whenever I have an idea for an article, or want to edit a page with reliable sources:
- WP:RSP - A list of sources deemed reliable or unreliable to use on Wikipedia backed by community consensus. If you ever want to ask if a source is reliable, you can ask on the noticeboard.
- WP:VG/RS - A list of video game-related news outlets deemed reliable or unreliable. I edit gaming articles often so I always check this page every other day.
- WP:100W - An essay that states that 100 words or more written about a topic count as significant coverage. Wikipedia doesn't have an official word count on what counts as significant, but if a topic has multiple reliable sources with over 100 words written about it, the topic should count as notable.
- Also, you can visit the Teahouse to ask questions about editing as well.
- Anyways, happy editing! If you do find more news outlets that cover Northernlion, feel free to add them to the draft.
- Thanks, PantheonRadiance (talk) 21:10, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
- Hey @PantheonRadiance,
- thank you for your lenghty and very helpful reply! I've never realized the important role of secondary sources for Wikipedia articles, but of course that makes a lot of sense if you need to determine the notability of a person/organization/other thing. So thanks a lot for explaining that to me as well as adding some of those secondary sources to the draft as well. Hopefully I can find some more as well.
- I'll also keep those links you mentioned in your message pinned somewhere, since they seem to be really convenient for the whole editing process.
- So yeah, thanks a lot again and I hope you have a wonderful day or night as well! Mika Müller-Popkes (talk) 14:43, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
- @Mika Müller-Popkes: You're very welcome! Also, thank you for adding an extra Polygon source to the draft as well; I really appreciate it. At this point I'm sure Northernlion passes WP:GNG. I can make a few more edits, but if you want, you can go ahead and submit the draft whenever you feel it's ready. :) PantheonRadiance (talk) 19:31, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
- @PantheonRadiance I'd be down with submitting the draft as it is now! I was just about to upload a non-free picture to Wikipedia Commons, but I guess that won't work until the article is actually featured on the mainpage, so I think submitting it would be the next best step now :) Mika Müller-Popkes (talk) 17:38, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
- Perfect! I think it's pretty much done too, there aren't many sources I need to add to the article anymore, and anything else I could add, I could save for later. I'm going to leave a comment on the draft however to prove to AfC reviewers that he meets GNG. Thank you so much for your work! PantheonRadiance (talk) 01:10, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

GeorgeNotFound move
Hey, if the AfC reviewers continue to be unreasonable, would you be open to a move of Draft:GeorgeNotFound to mainspace like 331dot suggested? It's true that the AfC process is optional, and I believe I wouldn't be restricted in moving it myself, even with the salting. I do think it could survive an AfD discussion if it had to come to that, though of course that isn't certain; editors sometimes vote without thoroughly looking at the article, as we've seen in the AfC review. I'm willing to do it if you're on board! BappleBusiness[talk] 09:57, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- Hey BappleBusiness, sorry for the late reply. I'd be down with a page move, but my only concern is that other editors may immediately get trigger happy with reverting or even AfDing the page. If you want to move it yourself, I suggest perhaps posting an explanation on the talk page on why he's notable now first, then leave a comment on the page for any New Page Patrollers explaining to them to read the explanation before suggesting deletion. This way we could pre-emptively prove it's notable, or at the very least perhaps reach a better consensus with other editors. Also if you want, you can even use the source table I made, or make your own. But if it does come down to another AfD, I'll back you up and share my reasoning on why he's notable once more. Thanks, PantheonRadiance (talk) 06:05, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Etika you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. 
This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Vaticidalprophet -- Vaticidalprophet (talk) 17:03, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
You've been mentioned on an RFC
Hello there PantheonRadiance! I hope you are well, my friend. It's been a minute. A while back, we were both involved in a discussion concerning Deji's notability. I've finally found the time to create an RFC, which you've been pinged on. Check it out! Hope you've been well. DrewieStewie (talk) 21:49, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
- Hey DrewieStewie, sorry for the wait, I took an unofficial Wikibreak to finish my finals. Good job taking the initiative in setting up the RfC! I've actually been periodically searching for more sources these past few months about Deji to ensure that he meets the guidelines. Maybe depending on how the RfC goes I'll post a source table of what I've found that contributes to his notability. If you found any new sources, let me know too! Thanks, PantheonRadiance (talk) 21:40, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
- Wonderful! If I find anything, I’ll let you know. Hopefully we can get access to a previous draft from around the time of the prior deletion review. It would be a great thing to build on so we wouldn’t have to start from scratch. A positive RFC result would certainly help with that. There certainly has been no opposition to a draft at minimum thus far. Glad you enjoyed your brief wikibreak. :) DrewieStewie (talk) 22:50, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
The RFC has now been closed in favor of starting a draft and removing Deji from DEEPER. Is there any avenue to request a copy of a deleted article circa October 2022-January 2023 as a draft blueprint? I recall them being significant and well-sourced. Good work on providing sources that passed a source review in the RFC. We will have to request unsalting for Draft:Deji Olatunji too. DrewieStewie (talk) 03:22, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
- @DrewieStewie: I would say to post another deletion review to ask to restore the draft, but considering that DRV was what led us here in the first place and we just had the lengthy RfC, I think it would be faster if we just show the admin who deleted the draft the RfC and request them to restore and unsalt it, either in draftspace or one of our sandboxes. If you want to also work on creating a draft from scratch, I can also give you a couple sources as well to help you. PantheonRadiance (talk) 21:30, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
- The Draft is live again. First thing we will need to handle is replacing fandom content with reliably sourced content. DrewieStewie (talk) 16:05, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
- DrewieStewie Hey, it's great that we finally have access to the draft! I wrote down parts of the career section yesterday so I'll post it to the draft. After that I'll check and edit the draft occasionally to see its progress, but I'll let you work on fixing up the rest. When you’re ready to submit, be my guest! I'll write a message on the talk page explaining Deji's notability and making sure AfC editors understand his notability compared to the multiple times his article was deleted before.
- Also, if you find any more reliable sources, feel free to add. You should have access to the Wikipedia Library, but there are also places that might also have coverage on Deji - Google Scholar, Newspapers.com, Google Books, etc. PantheonRadiance (talk) 16:45, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
- Appreciate your help! Now that I’ve gotten all the bureaucratic business handled, I am now finally happy to work on this. Let’s make some WikiMagic! DrewieStewie (talk) 16:48, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
- Yep :) PantheonRadiance (talk) 17:20, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

Etika and Reckful
Hey, I saw your work in getting the Etika article to GA status and wanted to congratulate you on it.
I'm just wondering, but do you think you can get the article on Reckful (who also died by suicide) to GA status in the near future if you have the time? Many thanks! 2600:8800:5232:DD00:A521:649A:6903:5E72 (talk) 02:02, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
- Hello to whoever wrote this message. I don't know if the person who asked this will find my response, but in case it does, thank you for asking me. About Reckful, I didn't have any plans to get his article to GA status because I've only heard of him passingly through the internet grapevine. However, upon reading his article I found his story quite compelling, and think there may be potential here for GA. Perhaps in the near future I'd be down with working on his article, but I'll probably wait if any of the main editors of the Reckful article also have plans to bring it to GA status. Thanks, PantheonRadiance (talk) 02:45, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
- (talk page watcher) It looks like that article doesn't have a primary contributor, though Brojam did the largest share of work on it and might be worth asking his thoughts. (The second highest contributor is a blocked sock.) Vaticidalprophet 05:21, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks, maybe if I do decide to work on it in the future, I'll contact him about it. PantheonRadiance (talk) 03:00, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

DYK for Etika
On 28 July 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Etika, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a mural created to honor the late YouTuber Etika was added as a PokéStop in the mobile game Pokémon Go? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Etika. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Etika), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

August 2023 Good Article Nominations backlog drive
| Good article nominations | August 2023 Backlog Drive |  |
August 2023 Backlog Drive:
| |
| Other ways to participate: | |
| You're receiving this message because you have reviewed or nominated a good article in the last year. | |
I noticed you mentioned that one was from a wikiproject that does "B-Class assessments", so isn't technically B-class -- it is now :) BCR was a thing that was fairly popular years ago, but imo isn't relevant or workable on modern Wikipedia -- the military history project uses it, though, so it technically still exists.
By the way, that article could pass GAN easily, and probably FAC. The notable-to-GANable and GAN-to-FAC lines are pretty thin for books, so there are a lot of them amongst quality-assessed articles (1.7% of WikiProject Books articles are GA or FA, compared to 0.7% of all articles). The GAN backlog drive is coming up soon (I strongly recommend participating, btw), so it might not take too long to get reviewed if you nominate it now. It also might be an easier article to learn how FAC works while working on Etika, if you're interested in taking it there. Vaticidalprophet 06:26, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
- Vaticidalprophet Oh wow, thanks for the reassessment! Funny thing, I actually planned on nominating The Creative Gene as my first GA so I could have a DYK fact about the book appear on Kojima's birthday (August 24th), but I decided to shift focus to see if I could get Etika to appear on DYK first. I was going to nominate the book last month, but I kept putting it off to the point where I felt it was too late for it to appear on DYK on his birthday. However, if the GAN drive is happening soon, maybe there's a slight chance it could get on DYK on the 24th if I get timely feedback. If I have time tomorrow, I'll try to revise the page then nominate it this weekend.
- As for the drive, I may check it out but I can't keep any promises. This upcoming month may be quite busy for me, so if I do decide to participate I'll probably only have time to review one article. Maybe the next time a GAN drive happens I'll have a lot more time (and experience) to help out with it. Thanks, PantheonRadiance (talk) 20:00, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
- Vaticidalprophet Edit: I decided to nominate it for GA. If you have time and want to review it, feel free. Otherwise, thanks once again! PantheonRadiance (talk) 00:00, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Incomplete DYK nomination
Hello! Your submission of Template:Did you know nominations/The Impossible Quiz at the Did You Know nominations page is not complete; if you would like to continue, please link the nomination to the nominations page as described in step III of the nomination procedure. If you do not want to continue with the nomination, tag the nomination page with {{db-g7}}, or ask a DYK admin. Thank you. DYKHousekeepingBot (talk) 10:36, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- Hmm, that's odd. Looks like the moment I nominated it on the 28th, it got immediately removed and "approved" for nomination, yet it wasn't reviewed yet and I didn't see it on the approved page. Is this a mistake or glitch of some kind? Has this happened before? Pinging admin theleekycauldron. PantheonRadiance (talk) 18:15, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- Weird! Looks like WugBot edit conflicted with you, loading up and editing the version of the page that existed before you transcluded your nom. I've retranscluded it for you, should be fine now :) pinging Wugapodes as bot op, in case there's any race conditions they want to put in for this. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 21:37, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
