New page reviewer

I'd like to be a part of the new page patrol process. I have an extensive record with AfD, successfully arguing for deletion of several unsourced or otherwise un-notable articles that should not have been created in the first place. While I have created only a few entirely new articles, all of my articles have been extensively researched and well-sourced. I believe I meet all the requirements in terms of number of edits and length of time on Wikipedia. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 23:19, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@WeirdNAnnoyed: I'm sorry but, between your statement here, your AfD record (only 8.7% keep !votes and several nominations being resoundingly kept), and lack of significant engagement with AfC or article creation, I'm concerned that your primary interest is deleting articles rather than improving the encyclopaedia.  Not done. – Joe (talk) 07:49, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't necessarily disagree with the outcome here, but suggesting he's not interested in improving the encyclopedia isn't fair: his AfD !votes are quite careful and well-researched (hardly a sign of a wanton deletionist), and the content creation is actually pretty good. People with high delete percentages can absolutely be here for the right reasons, particularly in areas like GNIS cleanup. Give AfC reviewing a try first, WeirdNAnnoyed, and come back once you've got some more experience under your belt. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 23:06, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My NPP permission expires soon and I would like to continue help reviewing. Killarnee (talk) 22:36, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not as much AfD participation as I would have liked, but the articles, redirects, and dab pages that I looked at seemed to be appropriate reviews. I'll grant the right indefinitely but make sure to take it slow with borderline cases and give thoughtful rationales at AfDs. Fathoms Below (talk) 19:33, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
