DYK for Hamilton McWhorter III

On 4 September 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Hamilton McWhorter III, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Hamilton McWhorter III (Congressional Gold Medal pictured) was the first F6F Hellcat pilot to achieve double-ace status? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Hamilton McWhorter III. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Hamilton McWhorter III), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. 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.

Need some notability advice for a potential article. This art critic likely meets notability under a creative metric but I’m not terribly familiar with judging those.

Wikipedia started in January 2001. This article was created less than three months later and so must be one of Wikipedia's earliest.

This article has languished for years, at one point filled with spam links, it was moved to draft incorrectly, moved back to main space, and ignored. One WP:42 reference will save it.

  • Sadly this is a spillover from a discussion at ANI - Levivich pontificated about the merits of the article and JzG agreed with the comments, and then JzG redirected the article, when I reverted, it was immediately nominated for deletion by JzG. The article was started from scratch just a few days ago, WP:IMPERFECT and has nothing to do with the first AfD. There is a Business Insider article which appears in the de Valk article, and a PC Magazine article (which is not yet in the article). I am sure we can find more in Dutch sources. Google Joost de Valk and 388,000 is the number. No primary sources needed, as there are enough which were used to establish work history. WC. Never give up!

Also includes List of German racing drivers in the same AFD. Is there a way to copy all the things listed in Category:Brazilian racing drivers into the proper list? Perhaps a bot to read infobox data to add to columns? Dream Focus 00:49, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

  • I did find and replace to turn [[ into a |-[[ and ]] into ]]||| so all of the things from the category are now in a list. The only problem is I can't changed anything into a newline(enter key). If anyone knows how to do that with Wikipedia or other software please let me know. Having to go in manually and add a bunch of enters is rather tedious. Dream Focus 03:01, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

I built an article on this early Disney video game from an existing redirect, but it was reverted. Someone helped me find several WP:RS to bring it up to five reviews in the article (and links to two more non-English reviews) to this version of the article, and yet it was still reverted for some reason; can anyone help me find additional sources to help assert notability? 2601:243:1C00:E800:DC2B:6DF7:CF88:4464 (talk) 16:16, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

You found ample proof of notability, just someone made a mistake, or didn't bother to read the current version of the article. I reverted them back to your last version. Dream Focus 16:50, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
Thank you, Dream Focus! 2601:243:1C00:E800:DC2B:6DF7:CF88:4464 (talk) 20:26, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
I formatted a source here. To demonstrate. In this case we see Electronic Fun with Computers & Games is a notable magazine with its own article - a reliable source. This was previously uncertain. There is the author, title and page number of the article such that anyone can read it and see it is non-trivial and length. The "cite journal" is also impressive to many readers as it usually indicates a quality source. All this improves the impression the article is based on quality sources, making it less susceptible to negative attention. -- GreenC 23:35, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

I restored this article which was previously redirected in 2013, but it was reverted. I restored it again to add more reviews and other WP:RS but the same user reverted it again. I tried once more and demonstrated that I had links to four reviews plus other sources as seen in this version of the article, but it was reverted yet again by another user; can anyone help me find additional sources to help assert notability? 2601:243:1C00:E800:DC2B:6DF7:CF88:4464 (talk) 05:23, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

I might recommend adding the content to the Robert S. Harris article and editing it there until you have enough to establish notability. It makes it easier than fighting over the stub versus redirect while you're trying to work on it. Normal Op (talk) 07:01, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

Three articles nominated so far. There are dozens of list articles about people dying in various places by various types of animals. Plus many more about people dying from all manner of other things. Anyway, are there any published government documents, scientific studies, or reliable sources covering this enough to prove it notable? Dream Focus 16:38, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

This particular list (part of a set of three, which are all splits from a too-large main article) is occasionally attacked by advocates who want this information suppressed (not as an improvement of the encyclopedia, but for their advocacy). Meatpuppets are always dragged out for this topic for vote stacking. Please consider participating in the AfD. Vote your conscience after evaluating the article, but please participate. Normal Op (talk) 06:43, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
Wait who would want dog attack information suppressed? Is it even possible to suppress the well known fact that dogs sometimes fatally attack humans? TryKid[dubiousdiscuss] 07:19, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
@TryKid: Those who advocate for the type of dog that appears most frequently on the list. Normal Op (talk) 07:34, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
That information can't really be suppressed, right? There are probably statistics available on which type of dogs kill most, these statistics can be easily added to Fatal dog attacks article. Wikipedia shouldn't be used as a database to store every single instance of fatal dog attack that made it to the local news. Regards, TryKid[dubiousdiscuss] 07:43, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

(Last one for now, I promise - I didn't want to list all three at once to be overwhelming, and all the other articles I restored or started have been successfully restored by other editors.)

I built this article from an existing redirect, using one review and some citations from the article it redirected to. An editor restored the redirect, but I took another look as I should have done and found three more reviews and another source as you can see in this version of the article, but it was still reverted by another editor; can anyone help me find additional sources to help assert notability? 2601:243:1C00:E800:DC2B:6DF7:CF88:4464 (talk) 01:26, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

I restored it. [2] There are enough sources to prove it meets the general notability guidelines. You need to write something about the gameplay. You can search for YouTube videos and see what it was all about as well. I did that earlier with another such article you created. [3] Dream Focus 03:37, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

Used in over 1,000 articles. -- GreenC 22:16, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

This is a routine-type discussion at RSNB. It’s to determine what level of reliability the source has. Generally the source is not deprecated/banned but said to be used with caution so no need for deletion concern.
And if it’s determined not to be reliable we want to know that before using it.Gleeanon409 (talk) 00:51, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

Aliza Ayaz is an international youth climate activist. I think that at least some of the current references could be used to secure at least a stub or start class article. Esowteric+Talk 09:18, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

Ignore the "paid editing" template: The first edit to the article was by Az.jooma with the edit summary "KGS IT staff creating page". KGS is likely "Karachi Grammar School" which the subject attended. So the article could just as easily have been created by staff and students who share an interest in their relatively-illustrious one-time student. Certainly these editors look more like novices than professionals. Esowteric+Talk 09:24, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

It used to be we used a COI tag for cases like this, but the paid editor banner is becoming more frequent because the "$" symbol gets people's attention - too bad as it dilutes the banners real meaning (companies that are paid to edit Wikipedia on a client's behalf). There is no evidence of anyone being paid for the express purpose of editing Wikipedia. -- GreenC 14:01, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
Yes, COI is something to consider. Esowteric+Talk 14:07, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

Current refs World Urban Forum (ref 1, perhaps, minor); ARY News.tv (ref 2); BrandSynario (ref 3, perhaps: depends on how material is sourced); Geo News (ref 5) look reliable to me. Bloomsbury Festival (ref 20) looks reliable for uncontroversial material; ditto Events at Cambridge Students' Union (ref 22); and The News International (ref 31). Esowteric+Talk 14:07, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

Update by one of the page editors: Have added and double checked at least 10 independent sources to confirm genuinity and notability on the page itself. These include the United Nations itself (World Urban Forum), the official Bloomsbury Festival which is popular local festival, the official University College London (world famous university), multiple independent news platforms: The News International, Geo News, ARY News, DAWN news. Have removed any quotes that were first flagged as possible "COI" or un-neutral tones. They were initially references to podcasts and hence, this may have appeared as linked to "a close connection" or non-neutral, but this has been removed now. The article should be ok to keep now, hopefully! Any suggestions welcome. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Studentsunion (talkcontribs) 00:50, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

Many thanks! The Career section is a close paraphrase or direct copy in parts, and it needs looking at. Short quotes can be used directly, in "quotes", with a reference after each quotation.

Interesting concept and a wrong-headed theory. Finding sources that are not from the Wikipedia article itself is problematical. The prior poorly referenced/cited version of the article here had a lot more information deserves your consideration, but wound up on the cutting room floor. 7&6=thirteen () 13:30, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

I built this article from an existing redirect, using several reviews and additional sources, as you can see in this version of the article, but it was reverted by another editor; can anyone help me find additional sources to help assert notability? 2601:243:1C80:6740:DC2B:6DF7:CF88:4464 (talk) 01:18, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

This article is up for AFD in part because of the few citations but also issues with notability (particularly as to some confusion with other locales in Kentucky named Beech Grove). I'm hopeful that this article can survive with improvement. Jmbranum (talk) 19:50, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

I did not create the original article, but I saw it on the AFD list. The initial version I saw was pretty weak (no citations and some NPOV issues), however, after researching the subject (and finding a much stronger article on the topic in the Spanish Language wikipedia ([4]), I think that this article could meet the notability requirements with some more additions. I have started the process of improving this article but would appreciate help from others. Thanks! Jmbranum (talk) 19:33, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

A living memorial to the arbitrary and capricious possibility of a closer, namely: User:Scottywong doing something that ignores WP:Consensus. Arithmetically challenged. Hypothetically, if it had been close, it would default to a keep. But here it was not close, and was super voted to a delete. This is very disturbing and unexpected, IMO. 7&6=thirteen () 21:11, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

I built this article from an existing redirect, using several reviews and additional sources to split it from the Temple of Apshai article, as you can see in this version of the article, but it was reverted by another editor; can anyone help me find additional sources to help assert notability? 2601:243:1C80:6740:DC2B:6DF7:CF88:4464 (talk) 23:30, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Also click the Wikipedia reference search and it shows you plenty of places mentioning this notable trilogy. https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2015/06/growing-up-gaming-the-first-five-pc-games-i-ever-bought/ Stuff written about it before and after the screenshot of it.

I built this article from an existing redirect, using three reviews which I linked to, and several more reviews as found on its Mobygames page, as you can see in this version of the article, but it was reverted by another editor; can anyone help me find additional sources to help assert notability? 2601:249:8B80:4050:DC2B:6DF7:CF88:4464 (talk) 03:20, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Not much to write about for its own article. Still, it is a separate game, so odd to be in Spy vs. Spy (1984 video game). Perhaps that article could be renamed. Doesn't much matter. Dream Focus 03:37, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Apparently it's time to talk about this again and, as I'm already enjoying this immensely, thought I would share the fun. We can get a lot of inspiration from this and I'm already thinking that we should start a rebranding exercise for the ARS, as there are rude boys who never tire of the obvious pun. Changing one letter seems to be the way this is done. And, as we have over 400 members now, we should step up a level and make it the Article Rescue Brigade. ARB – that has a nice ring to it...
