Hello, welcome to your New Page Patrol School page! Every person I instruct will have their own page on which I will give them support and tasks for them to complete. Please make sure you have this page added to your watchlist. Your NPP School page has been specifically designed according to you and what you have requested instruction in - for that reason, please be as specific as possible when under my instruction, so that I know the best ways to help you (and do not be afraid to let me know if you think something isn't working).
Make sure you read through Wikipedia:Notability as that's the knowledge which most of the questions I ask you and tasks you do will revolve around.
This page will be built up over your time in the Academy, with new sections being added as you complete old ones. Each section will end with a task, written in bold type - this might just ask a question, or it might require you to go and do something. You can answer a question by typing the answer below the task; if you have to do something, you will need to provide diffs to demonstrate that you have completed the task. Some sections will have more than one task, sometimes additional tasks may be added to a section as you complete them. Please always sign your responses to tasks as you would on a talk page.
If both the instructor and student make completing the course curriculum a top priority, it will generally take around a month to go through the entirety of the curriculum. This pace is not required or necessarily expected, but rather is provided in order to give participants an idea of what to expect.
PART 1
When patrolling or reviewing an article, you may often come across articles do not meet the WP:N guidelines, but the editors make the edits in good faith. Please read WP:AGF and do not WP:BITE the new editors.
1. In your own words, why it is important to WP:AGF and not WP:BITE new editors.
Answer: Wikipedia needs new contributors to help expand and improve the project, and so it is important to be both welcoming and understanding of other editors and their contributions. This is especially important towards new editors who are likely to be less well-versed in Wikipedia policy. Furthermore, by assuming good faith it is far easier for editors to collaborate and to resolve editorial disputes; all with the aim of improving Wikipedia, which is what the vast majority of editors are aiming to do. Help people that have made a mistake rather than assuming they are out to act with bad intentions! Mxtt.prior (talk) 22:16, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
2. In your own words, how is notability defined in Wikipedia?
Answer: Notability is the way that articles are assessed to be worthy or unworthy of inclusion as their own article, to ensure that Wikipedia does not become an unregulated collection of non-notable information. The key to notability is the presence of multiple reliable sources which cover - in-depth - the subject and thus lead to a topic being worthy of an article. To be notable, an article must either meet the general or the category-specific notability guidelines, and must also not be excluded due to its nature as a 'what Wikipedia is not' article (eg newspaper, blog, ad etc). Notability applies to the topic, not the article or the article's content, and so to check for notability an editor must search for the availability of reliable source coverage rather than looking at the quality of the article (or the number of references in the article). Mxtt.prior (talk) 22:16, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
3. Does a step by step instructions on how to "Change a car tire" considered a notable topic in Wikipedia?
Answer: No; fails WP:NOT specifically WP:NOTGUIDE since: "Wikipedia is an encyclopedic reference, not a textbook. The purpose of Wikipedia is to summarize accepted knowledge, not to teach subject matter". Mxtt.prior (talk) 22:16, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
4. What are the differences between A WP:GNG and a specific notability guidelines? how do we determine which one to use when patrolling an article?
Answer: WP:GNG provides a general template for notability which articles are required to meet, but there may be specific reasons for certain topics to have slightly different notability guidance, which is why the SNGs have been formed (with consensus) for some topics. When patrolling I think it would be best to both consider the GNG and any relevant specific SNG (determined from the article's subject category), as this could refine the notability guidelines for the article. I suspect in a very general sense SNG take some precedence over GNG (ie an AfD for an article meeting SNG but failing GNG is on balance more likely to survive, and an article failing SNG but meeting GNG is on balance less likely to survive, but obviously this would be very different in very different cases). Mxtt.prior (talk) 22:16, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
5. If an editor creates an article about "2024 Summer Olympics" in 2019 without providing any sources, is the subject considered not notable and why?
Answer: Firstly, notability cannot be determined from the lack of sources provided in the article - notability is determined by the availability of reliable sources, not the quality of the article. A search for (and then ideally subsequent inclusion of) significant reliable coverage could be conducted to determine if the article meets GNG, for example if there is significant coverage detailing the planning/preparation/run-up to/details of the Olympics. From WP:NOPAGE "Other times, a future event may clearly be suitable for a standalone page before it happens (such as the 2020 Summer Olympics). However, before creating such an article, make sure that the likelihood of the future event occurring is reasonably assured." One should then check SNG WP:N(E) specifically WP:FUTUREEVENT, and ensure that the article has potential to be sufficient enough not to be excluded by WP:CRYSTALBALL. In this specific example, I suspect there would be sufficient coverage to make the article notable. Mxtt.prior (talk) 22:30, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
6. A New York city based 2021 start up software company , specializing in data mining, has just received a USD 200K investor fund.
Answer: From the investor fund alone - fails WP:COMPANY 2.2.1/2.2.3 - trivial financial coverage, numerical facts not determining significance. Mxtt.prior (talk) 23:19, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
7. Tagir Ulanbekov who is a Ultimate Fighting Championships fighters with the undefeated mixed martial arts record of 10-1.
Answer: Per WP:NMMA 1, seems to fail due to only having two WP:MMATIER (UFC) fights (10 Oct 20, 30 Oct 21), where three are required. All other fights don't appear on WP:MMATIER list. Mxtt.prior (talk) 23:19, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
8. A upcoming action drama title "Suleiman the Great" based on the the life of Suleiman the Magnificent, was reported will be in production in December 2021 and to be released on August 2022 in the cinemas.
Answer: (Currently) Fails WP:NFF - not yet begun principle photography, thus also failing WP:CRYSTALBALL. Mxtt.prior (talk) 23:19, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
9. A political candidates, without any previous or current political position, who is running for November 2021 election for a Senator position in United States with multiple local newspapers coverage of his candidacy.
Answer: May pass WP:POLITICIAN "Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage" - thus check GNG and any other source coverage, although running for election itself does not guarantee notability, and if the only coverage is of the candidacy then it is likely to fail GNG. NB caution WP:NOTADVOCACY, WP:NPOV. Mxtt.prior (talk) 23:19, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
10. A singer who self produced his first album in May 2020 and his songs are listed in Spotify.

Answer: Meets WP:NACADEMIC 1/3/8 - due to role as editor of Journal of Economic Psychology. Mxtt.prior (talk) 23:19, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
12. Alistair Overeem
Answer: "He is a former Strikeforce Heavyweight Champion, DREAM Heavyweight Champion, K-1 World Grand Prix Champion, and was the first fighter to hold world titles in MMA and K-1 kickboxing at the same time" - meets WP:NKICK 1/2, WP:NMMA 1/2/3, WP:SPORTSPERSON. Mxtt.prior (talk) 23:19, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

15. Persepolis
Answer: WP:GEOLAND 1 "Even abandoned places can be notable, because notability encompasses their entire history.".

Reliable source |
Reliable sources for facts are published materials which are known for accuracy and their own scrutineering of their published works. For example well-established news outlets or reviewed scholarly publications may be reliable sources for information or facts. A (primary) source such as an opinion piece can be an example of a reliable source for the authors opinion, but not necessarily a reliable statement of fact. |

Answer: Content needs to be factually accurate, or an accurate representation of a person/organisation's views, thus it should be verified with sources. This ensures Wikipedia retains credibility. Mxtt.prior (talk) 00:32, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
Answer: No, although the Wikipedia page could be used to find direct sources from the reference list. Wikipedia is user-generated and self-published. Mxtt.prior (talk) 00:32, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
Answer: An autobiography might reliably provide detailed information about it's subject's life, but is certainly not independent, since the author is discussing themselves. Mxtt.prior (talk) 00:32, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
Answer: A tabloid newspaper might independently report on an event, but provide sensationalised claims or unreliable information. Mxtt.prior (talk) 00:32, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

Frank Lloyd Wright (June 8, 1867 – April 9, 1959) was an American architect, interior designer, writer, and educator. Wright believed in designing structures that were in harmony with humanity and its environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture. His creative period spanned more than 70 years. He works includes The Guggenheim, swirling, snail-shaped museum in the middle of Manhattan.[1][2] Fallingwater, which has been called "the best all-time work of American architecture."[3] This is one of Wright's most famous private residences (completed 1937), was built for Mr. and Mrs. Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr., at Mill Run, Pennsylvania. Constructed over a 30-foot waterfall, it was designed according to Wright's desire to place the occupants close to the natural surroundings. The house was intended to be more of a family getaway, rather than a live-in home.[4]

Answer: Meets WP:ANYBIO criteria 2 - an enduring contribution of many extant architectural structures, key individual in US architectural history. And criteria 3 - ANB page qualifies as included in national biographical dictionary. Meets WP:ARCHITECT criteria 1 due to the enduring contributions to the field of architecture and substantial influence on successors; criteria 2 due to the lasting influence of his 'organic architecture style', a new architectural style; criteria 3,4(a)(c) see Fallingwater which is a well-known work receiving critical attention and The 20th-Century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright which constitutes significant monument status.

Answer: Basing this assessment only on the lines above, this article does not appear likely to meet the SNG. WP:NACTOR criteria 1 requires evidence of 'significant roles in multiple notable films' which is not met by the sources provided or text in the article. There is no suggestion that criteria 2 'unique contribution' is met either. The article also does not appear to meet WP:FILMMAKER since the article does not mention, and no sources suggest, that Jordan 'created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work'.

Answer: This single meets WP:NSONG point 1 since it received high rankings on various countries charts including RPM Year-end and US Billboard, however the SNG specifies that meeting point 1 is not a direct indication that it is notable. It fails point 2 since it was only nominated for, not winning, Grammys. A search online seems to suggest it is difficult to find 'multiple, non trivial published works' covering the song (as demonstrated by the article's lack of any significant sources), and even any substantial reviews are hard to find. This suggests the article may fail to meet the relevant subject specific notability guidelines. That said, I am not convinced an AfD would lead to deletion of this article, so I really am not sure about the notability of this one. Mxtt.prior (talk) 20:47, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

Answer: Does not meet SNG. Fails WP:BASIC as there is not significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources; the given sources are both primary and hence do not contribute towards notability. Does not appear to meet any WP:ANYBIO criteria - no evidence towards point 2, a major contribution to engineering demonstrated in any secondary sources. Does not meet point 1 since the subject has not received any widely recognised awards, or point 3 as they are not listed in a national biographical dictionary.

WP:UCRN says that the article title does not necessarily need to be the full/official name, and in this instance, the person is best known as just "Hannibal". Just "Hannibal" is neither inaccurate, nor ambiguous. Furthermore, the three independent reliable sources shown all refer to the person as Hannibal, not Hannibal Barca. WP:AT also states that 'in determining which title to use, ... quality encyclopaedias and an online search engine' may help, and the Encyclopaedia Britannica also uses the title Hannibal. Hannibal is both WP:PRECISE enough to distinguish who is being referred to, as he is the only Hannibal commonly known by that name only (a hatnote/disambiguation may reduce any confusion), and WP:CONSICE. This is an example of WP:MONONYM. As such it is a better title than "Hannibal Barca" in this instance. Mxtt.prior (talk) 19:58, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

Answer: This article does not need to be renamed. WP:NICKNAME says that the name most commonly used in reliable sources should usually be the article name, even if it is not the person's 'real' name. The title could not be "Earvin "Magic" Johnson Jr" since WP:NICKNAME states that one should 'Avoid (for example) adding a nickname, or a contracted version of the original given name(s), in quotes or parentheses between first and last name', but MOS:NICK says that it should be expressed in that way in the article lead (as it is). "Magic Johnson" also follows WP:UCRN, since it is the name used in all the sources. Additionally, "Magic" still passes WP:NPOVTITLE since WP:NICKNAME states the nickname should be included 'even if it appears to pass judgement' and this is supported by WP:NPOVNAME.

Answer: First and second sections:
Firstly, dealing with verifiability . It is written in a manner that appears to be acceptable to WP:SUSPECT, since the incident was documented by multiple sources and hence meets WP:BLPPUBLIC, and the sentence is supported by 5 sources. However, the reliability of some of these sources is questionable. WP:TMZ states that the publisher 'publishes articles based on rumour and speculation without named sources', but may be used if attributed. WP:FOXNEWS is generally reliable for topics other than science or politics. RT is generally deprecated, but SCMP is generally accepted as reliable. Since some of these sources are reliable, with some improvement this sentence does pass the Verifiability requirement of WP:BLP, and does not fall into WP:BLPREMOVE, as it passes all four points with some of the sources. If this sentence was all that the article contained, it would fail WP:BALANCING, since it would constitute undue weight on a single event and would leave the rest of the subject's life ignored, but presuming there is another large section of article as well, it is not likely to constitute undue weight.
Third section: This section should be removed as it fails WP:BLP. This line is unsourced contentious material. Furthermore WP:LPNAME states "consider whether the inclusion of names of living private individuals who are not directly involved in an article's topic adds significant value" and that the "presumption in favour of privacy is strong in the case of family members of articles' subjects and other loosely involved, otherwise low-profile persons", especially since in this case the claim is completely unsourced.

Answer- Explanation: Department of Defence imagery is generally not under copyright ('In general, DoD VI that are works of authorship prepared by U.S. Government employees as part of their official duties are not eligible for copyright protection in the United States.'), so this image is a freely-licensed resource and could be uploaded into C:Main Page if clearly tagged as such. (That said I cant actually see a CC0 notice clearly on the defense page, but I'm not sure if I'm just missing it?). The uploaded image should still contain all the information requireed by WP:IUP#RI, irrespective of its copyright stats (eg include authorship, description etc if possible) Mxtt.prior (talk) 20:47, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

Answer- Explanation: The work has been hosted on Pixaby, which is a repository for CC0 only works. The image states that it is under a Pixaby license, which their terms explains to mean is CC0 and in the oublic domain, so falls under the same category as above and can be used.

Answer - link/guideline: pixaby CC0 statement, WP:PDI Mxtt.prior (talk) 21:53, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
Answer- Explanation: No, since the image has not been publicly released under a CC0 or equivalent license so is Non-Free. Displate Terms of Service point 6.8 expressly forbids reproduction/use of images from the site. There is a small potential the image could be used on a non-Wikipedia Commons project (see WP:F) under the WP:NFCI policy 7 if, for example it demonstrated a specific technique/art style, provided it met WP:NFCC, however note that in this use-case it would fail WP:NFC#UUI policy 16.

Answer: If an article is not balanced (ie the coverage of different viewpoints is not proportionate to the viewpoints appearance in sources), then it could have the appearance of promoting specific fringe theories, which are not widespread among sources.
Since articles reflect the sources they are based on, articles should also attempt to proportionally reflect the range of views as they are found in source material - giving the most weight to theories and discussions most prominent among sources.

Answer: Any original research in an article is not verifiable, since there would be no reliable sources with which to attribute it to. Wikipedia articles should be entirely verifiable, so by including original research this policy is violated. Furthermore, original research in the form of synthesis/far-reaching interpretation of source material could violate the neutrality policy and might introduce an editor’s biases. It should be noted that a source for information in an article may not need to be directly cited (except for controversial/BLP), as long as it exists for the article information to be verified - it just needs to exist to ensure the article doesn’t constitute OR.

Answer: If an editor conducted original research which was subsequently published (eg in a reputable journal or book published by a respected publisher), then the published research could be used as a reliable reference for information in an article. Mxtt.prior (talk) 22:48, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

Answer: The article should reflect the independent, reliable sources - so it should state that he has 2 sons, unless there is sufficient evidence from other (eg more up-to date) independent, reliable sources, at which point the article should be changed to reflect them. In other words, the article should state what the majority of I,R sources say, whether that is ‘factually accurate’ or not. It can always be updated as different sources come to light.

PART 2
No | Criterion | Application | Comment by Cass |
---|---|---|---|
1 | G1 | For pages with no understandable, or completely nonsensical text only. Either words are in a random order so no meaning is conveyed and it is unreadable, or random text/characters with no words from a recognised language. Criteria does not apply to articles which are understandable in another language. | |
2 | G2 | Pages clearly used to test Wikipedia functionality/editing techniques. For example an abandoned, otherwise blank page with a empty sections and a blank infobox which has clearly only been used as an editing test. Criteria does not apply to WP:SB, user-space test pages or some future-proofing/historic valid but unused templates. | |
3 | G3 | Applies only to articles which are very clearly vandalism containing only obvious misinformation. Per WP:DWHOAX, anything less clearly a hoax article should be investigated more thoroughly and not speedily deleted. | |
4 | G4 | Applies to articles used to get around deletion policies by identically copying and recreating a legitimately deleted page with only superficial, minor changes. Not applicable if the article has been rewritten in an attempt to comply with the issues raised in the previous deletion. Not applicable to articles previously deleted only by WP:PROD, WP:SOFTDELETE or WP:CSD or for deleted articles draftified into userspace to be improved. | |
5 | G5 | Applies to articles created by a user who was, at the time, under a relevant ban or block, where the article has not later been adapted or majorly edited by other unblocked users. Also applies to methods of WP:BANEVASION such as WP:SOCK and similar. | |
6 | G6 | Obvious maintenance deletion which has no reason to be contested such as a page clearly created in the wrong namespace. | |
7 | G7 | For deletion requests by the article author, where the article has not later been adapted or majorly edited by other users. A (non userspace/talk/category) page blanked by the article author may indicate a desire for G7 speedy deletion. | |
8 | G8 | Obvious maintenance deletion where a page has become redundant due to dependence on another page which has been deleted (nb not used on a page redundant due to a page move where they should instead be retargetted). Redirects which can easily be fixed or changed if the target article has moved should be fixed instead of using G8. G8 also does not apply to usertalk pages or archives. | |
9 | G9 | Used by WMF Office only | |
10 | G10 | For non-neutral, unsourced pages purely used to attack or intimidate a subject | |
11 | G11 | Pages which are purely promotional (eg a company which has written an article which is an obvious advert for their product with no encyclopaedic value and not meeting relevant quality/tone/NPOV guidelines - also relevant to promotion of individual or a belief/view etc). If possible to re-write in a NPOV way (and if notable, sourced etc) then this is preferred to deletion, since appropriately expanding the scope of Wikipedia is positive. | |
12 | G12 | For complete copyright violations, where there are no earlier page versions which do not have copyright issues. This criteria applies if the entire page is formed of non-free content. In less clean-cut articles (eg which closely match non-free content but are not clearly direct copy-paste of protected content) alternative solutions may be more appropriate than speedy deletion. | |
13 | G13 | Abandoned articles in Draft: which have not been edited in over 6 months or abandoned articles in User: with AFC submission template also not edited in over 6 months. I think the G13 process might be partly automated by some bots which automatically tag pages meeting G13 criteria? | |
14 | G14 | Extraneous disambiguating pages with zero pages in them or disambiguation pages titled …(disambiguation) with one page in them, rendering them unnecessary. In some situations these can be suitably changed to a redirect. |

---|---|---|---|
1 | A1 | ||
2 | A2 | For articles not written in english, which are a near-copy of an article in another wikipedia (eg an article copy-pasted from Spanish wikipedia). If the article is original (ie not in another wikipedia project), it may be valuable and so should be kept and translated ie not A2. | |
3 | A3 | Articles which do not have any content (other than boilerplate ‘See Also’ heading, WP:EL, cat tags). A potentially valid stub should not be deleted under A3, nor should an article consisting only of a partially filled infobox. WP:DONTBITE - allow time for edits after creation before considering A3. | |
4 | A5 | For articles duplicating material already hosted on a more suitable Wikipedia project. Eg a primary source text copied from a 20th century newspaper, which is already hosted on Wikisource. | |
5 | A7 | (nb only applies to certain categories of article - people, animals, organizations, web content, events) A lower threshold than WP:N. This criteria can only be used if there is neither a credible claim of significance of the article (any statement which might suggest the subject is at all notable, interesting or significant) nor any evidence from sources in the article that the subject is significant/no discussion of the subject at all in sources. Even if the claim of significance is false, this criteria does not apply (instead delete as a hoax or use other deletion method), since this criteria applies only if there is ‘no’ claim. An article with a claim of significance, but not meeting specific/general notability guidelines should not be deleted this way. | |
6 | A9 | ||
7 | A10 | If a recently created article expands upon an existing article and contains supplementary information or reorders an existent article, then it should potentially be merged to combine the information. Furthermore, if an existing article is duplicated but with a variant or alternative name, then instead of deletion it should become a redirect. However, if a recently created article is simply a duplicate or near-duplicate, with no additional value to the already existing article, then it may qualify for deletion under A10 criteria, especially if the page would not stand as a redirect. | |
8 | A11 | A slight distinction from hoax articles (where the article is created in an attempt to mislead audience), A11 applies to articles where the subject has clearly been invented by the author and does not attempt to claim any significance for the article. As with criteria A8 and A9, if the article makes any attempt to justify, with a credible claim - even one not referenced, it's significance, this criteria is not applicable. | |
9 | R2 | Applies to redirects to a different namespace. Eg. applies to a redirect to a draft or to a page which has subsequently been moved to draft and hence the redirect should point to draftspace. Does not apply to redirects to Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help: and Portal namespaces. |

Answer: G12 should only be used if copyright violations are so widespread that an article has no non-copyright text or information which can be kept - if the article can be edited or parts removed in order to be in line with copyright policy, then this approach should be taken instead. G12 applies to articles which contain copyright text which has no claim to be free material or public domain. If the copyright issues are not clear-cut, then the offending sections or text should be blanked instead and the issue raised in WP:Copyright Problems. This does not apply to PD text copying. Tools such as Earwigs CopyVio Checker can be useful in checking for potential copyright issues with a page.
Revision-deletion tags should be used to recommend deletion of blatant copyvio page revisions which remain in the article history even if the offending copyright material has been removed from subsequent/current article revisions. Administrators hold judgement as to whether revision deletion from page history is appropriate or necessary.
