Request for review: Draft:Jack_Logan
[edit]HI Cabrils, can you please check if the artile already qualifies? I think it meets meets WP:GNG and WP:ANYBIO. Thank you! RavenFireblade (talk) 06:59, 27 April 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @RavenFireblade,
- Thanks for the ping.
- Since the draft was rejected in November 2024, the only substantive change has been the addition of 1 new source: https://tribune.net.ph/2025/04/26/jack-logan-from-radio-waves-to-documentary-waves . This is an interview with the subject, and as such has limited weight in contributing towards establishing the notability of the subject. This is especially the case in circumstances where you have a conflict of interest.
- On the draft's Talk page you wrote "I think the page now meets WP:ANYBIO criteria #1 and #2 because the person has been nominated for such a significant award or honor, and the person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in a specific field; (internet culture in the Philippines)". Please note that WP:ANYBIO #1 states "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for such an award several times" (emphasis added). To my knowledge Logan has only been nominated once (for the June 2023 Asian Television Awards for best single digital program/short film category: https://www.pressreader.com/search?query=jack+logan+vlogger&in=ALL&orderBy=Relevance&searchFor=Articles). Please let me know if this is not correct?
- Thanks Cabrils (talk) 02:47, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
- Hi Cabrils, thank you for your prompt response. Logan actually won Breakthrough Vlogger of the Year award in 2023 from Philippines' Golden Eagle Awards. But i did not cite it because there is no press article about the said award, however, there is a video proof posted on his Facebook page about it. RavenFireblade (talk) 18:03, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
- Hi Cabrils, i added the recent interview that was published today and resubmitted the article for approval this time. I hope you can reconsider. Thank you! RavenFireblade (talk) 13:21, 4 May 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @RavenFireblade, please see my comments on the Draft page. Cabrils (talk) 00:33, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
- Hello Cabrils, i have added WP:THREE on the draft's talk page, fixed the broken links and added a new one. Please kindly check and let me know if this is okay. RavenFireblade (talk) 06:47, 9 May 2025 (UTC)
- Hello @Cabrils, i have updated the page with a new citation and also included it in the WP:THREE. Here below if you can check and hopefully you can approve please.

- Hello @Cabrils, i made some new edits. Can you please have another look at the article? RavenFireblade (talk) 18:11, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @RavenFireblade,
- I see another reviewer has accepted the draft in main space. Well done. Do be mindful of WP:COI in making any further edits to the page. All the best. Cabrils (talk) 23:08, 2 September 2025 (UTC)

Request for Reassessment: Draft:Keith Evan Green
[edit]Hello Cabrils,
Thanks for your thoughtful review of the draft article, Keith Evan Green. I revised the draft in response to your feedback, including:
- Rewriting for a more neutral, encyclopedic tone (per WP:PEACOCK and WP:NOT),
- Declaring my conflict of interest on the article’s Talk page as the subject of the draft.
On the Talk page of the draft, I identified three independent, reliable sources that I believe satisfy WP:ANYBIO criterion #1, and I have invited review by Wikipedia editors.
If you have a moment, I welcome your taking another look.
Here is the draft: Draft:Keith Evan Green
Thanks again for your time and contributions.
Best regards, Keg95 (talk) 13:47, 27 June 2025 (UTC)
- Hi Keg95,
- As I commented on the Draft:
- COI declaration needs to be added to YOUR User Talk page, per WP:COI.
- Further, this draft was previously declined. You removed the decline notifications. Do NOT remove these notifications, they are a record of the page history and are highly relevant to reviewers of the draft.
- Additionally, I encourage you create a User Page which will make communicating much more efficient. Cabrils (talk) 23:12, 30 June 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you, Cabrils, for your time reviewing my draft. I'm not going to pursue this article further. I got the idea to draft this article by a long standing Wikipedia editor (verified by me) who offered to draft the same, based on what he learned of my record as an academic, surely at some cost to me. Instead of responding to his solicitation, I elected to draft my own article, since declined. I'll leave the article as such and move on to other things. Thanks again -- I learned something more about Wikipedia in the process. 2603:7080:A33E:4DA4:1D0A:98BA:2220:7E1 (talk) 11:13, 1 July 2025 (UTC)
- I'm disappointed you feel that way. I believe the draft is close to meeting the relevant criteria and I would be happy to help work on it to get it over the line. I think it would be a worthy contribution to Wikipedia.
- Could you please just clarify the nature of the conflict of interest: are you Keith Green? COIs are far from fatal, the draft just needs to very clearly meet the notability criteria. Cabrils (talk) 23:38, 1 July 2025 (UTC)
- Dear Cabrils,
- Thank you for your encouragement. I noted my COI just now in my User Talk page, not only in my draft article page. I am the author of Keith_Evan-Green -- I am the subject, hence the COI as originally disclosed upon the early submission of the article draft. I welcome your guidance to advance the draft article. Thanks. Keg95 (talk) 21:12, 2 July 2025 (UTC)
- Hi Keith.
- Glad you came back to me.
- Firstly, I would encourage you to also create a User Page, which will make communicating much more efficient.
- Something that would help the draft, and add to meeting WP:AUTHOR would be reviews of your books. If you know of any, could you please send me the links?
- Thanks. Cabrils (talk) 00:45, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
- Hello Cabrils,
- I have created a User Page. Would you like to use the User Page to communicate instead of having this exchange through your Talk page?
- Here are considerations of my books (not yet integrated into my draft):
- - for my book Architectural Robotics: Ecosystems of Bits, Bytes, and Biology:
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27310456-architectural-robotics.
- https://books.google.com/books/about/Architectural_Robotics.html?id=Ts2MEAAAQBAJ&source=kp_book_description
- https://mitpress.mit.edu/national-robotics-week-architectural-robotics/
- - for my book Gio Ponti and Carlo Mollino: Post-war Italian Architects and the Relevance of Their Work Today:
- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1046987.Gio_Ponti_and_Carlo_Mollino
- Thanks for your time. Keg95 (talk) 16:47, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @Keg95,
- Thanks for these. Any book reviews need to meet WP:RS, so any reviews from Goodreads, Amazon etc are not suitable. MIT is the publisher so doesn't meet WP:RS either because it is not independent. I am trying to see if we can meet WP:AUTHOR. If not we will be restricted to either WP:ANYBIO (broadly) or WP:NPROF. Cabrils (talk) 04:16, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

Hey!
I added the WP:THREE best sources for notability to the draft's talk page as you suggested.
Also, I amended the language to be less promotional and compliant with WP:PEACOCK.
Finally, on my talk page, I had some questions for you regarding the image I used as well as a full explanation of the sources and Moore's notability.
Should I resubmit it? I would very much appreciate it if you could look it over!
Thanks! J anaya05 (talk) 21:24, 30 June 2025 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks for the ping.
- Please address whether you have a conflict of interest, and if so, declare it per the guidelines as explained in my comment on the draft. Thank you. Cabrils (talk) 23:15, 30 June 2025 (UTC)
- I do not have any connection to the subject, I am not the subject, and I am not being paid by the subject. J anaya05 (talk) 23:28, 30 June 2025 (UTC)
- OK, thank you.
- Please see my reply to WP:THREE on the draft's Talk page.
- Thanks. Cabrils (talk) 00:22, 1 July 2025 (UTC)
- I just resubmitted it! J anaya05 (talk) 19:44, 2 July 2025 (UTC)
- Article accepted, good work. Cabrils (talk) 22:50, 3 July 2025 (UTC)

Hello @Cabrils! Thanks for your attention to the draft! I read your comment. I added the necessary links where the “citation needed” tag was.
It seems to me that the person is notable by Wikipedia standards. I believe the article satisfies WP:ANYBIO criterion #2, because Ferrante's role in coordinating the federal response to Russian cyber‑operations against US election infrastructure is "a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record" in the field of election security and cybersecurity.
And if anything, I don't have any conflict of interest.
Would you mind taking another look?
Thank you! Nyxalith (talk) 20:48, 6 July 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @Nyxalith,
- Thanks for that.
- Draft accepted. Well done. Cabrils (talk) 04:22, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

Draft:Stephen A. Morreale notability
[edit]Hello Cabrils! Thanks so much for your message. I made some updates to my page on Stephen Morreale. At your convenience, are you able to take a look? I shared a note on notability and added more external sources. Thank you! KMM1017 (talk) 20:31, 10 July 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @KMM1017,
- Thanks for the ping.
- OK, so a few things:
- 1. Thank you for declaring a conflict of interest on the draft's Talk page. However, as I said in my comment "if you have any connection to the subject, including being the subject (see WP:AUTOBIO) or being paid, you have a conflict of interest that you must declare on your Talk page (to see instructions on how to do this please click the link)." So please add a COI declaration to your Talk page.
- Also, what is the nature of your conflict of interest? For example, are you the subject Stephen Morreale? Are you being paid?
- 2. Notability: Thank you for that lengthy list of sources, however given reviewers like me are volunteers our time is limited so again, as I explained in my comment on the draft, "It would help our volunteer reviewers by identifying, on the draft's talk page, the WP:THREE best sources that establish notability of the subject.
- It would also be helpful if you could please identify with specificity, exactly which criteria you believe the page meets (eg "I think the page now meets WP:ANYBIO criteria #3, because XXXXX")".
- So please identify the best 3 reliable sources. And identify with specificity exactly the criteria you believe the page meets. Doing this will be very helpful and help expedite the reviewing process.
- Thanks. Cabrils (talk) 23:33, 11 July 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reply @Cabrils and apologies for the back and forth - I'm new to this so greatly appreciate the guidance!
- I added the COI declaration to my talk page. Stephen is my father, and I am not being paid.
- I believe he meets WP:ACADEMIC criteria due in part to his selection as a Fulbright Scholar/Specialist (link included below)
- Fulbright Ireland Alumni Profile
- URL: https://fulbright.ie/custom_alumni/stephen-a-morreale/
- Source: Official Fulbright Ireland website (U.S. State Department program)
- Content: Fulbright Specialist status, biographical information, 9/11 response recognition
- Here are 3 sources
- Things Police See Podcast: https://thingspolicesee.com/tps-e78-dr-stephen-morreale-dea-agent-ret/
- https://medium.com/%40letradioshow/the-media-and-hollywoods-influence-vs-reality-drug-gangs-and-police-80e187522f4e
- https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/03/21/metro/family-devastated-by-death-27-year-old-leominster-marine-who-died-nato-training-exercise-norway/
- I believe the following helps establish notability as well:
- Government service documentation (Distinguished Service Award, official positions)
- Academic and professional recognition is well-documented
- Contemporary media coverage exists (Spectrum News, Boston Globe)
- Third-party institutional recognition is confirmed (Fulbright, university positions)
- The lack of DEA-era news coverage is expected rather than concerning for Wikipedia's notability standards
- I hope this helps! Please let me know if I've missed anything - and as always, thank you for your review and thoughtful feedback. KMM1017 (talk) 17:47, 24 July 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @KMM1017,
- Thank you fro all this.
- 1. COI: OK, thanks.
- 2. WP:THREE: These sources need to be "reliable sources" as defined: "Articles should be based on reliable, independent, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy." (see WP:RS)). So there are some issues with the sources you suggested:
- i. Podcast: this is not considered a reliable source (see WP:RS/SPS).
- ii. Medium: this is not considered a reliable source because anyone can write an article on Medium and there is no process for "checking the facts or with no editorial oversight" (see WP:QUESTIONABLE).
- iii. Boston Globe is a reliable source. However, the mentioning of your father in this article is in passing and not what would be considered "significant coverage". So while the publication is reliable per se, this article it is not considered a RS for the purposes of establishing notability of your father because it's such a passing mention. Put another way, if we could find two clearly RSs, I would accept this as the third because it clearly identifies your father as "professor and chair of the criminal justice department". But we're really looking for articles that are substantially about him.
- 3. WP:ACADEMIC/WP:NPROF: As far as I can assess, we need the draft to meet the relevant criteria in either WP:GNG, WP:NACADEMIC or WP:AUTHOR. I think the draft has potential but don't see it clearly establishing the required criteria, especially given your COI which has the effect of lifting the bar higher. The Fulbright Scholarship clearly adds weight.
- Also, to me the draft reads too much like a promotional CV. The last 2 sections are unreferenced and so should be removed or supported by independent reliable sources.
- I know this is a lot to take in, so take some time to absorb this. I would also encourage you to seek some help at the WP:TEAHOUSE where you may be able to find an editor who is willing to give you more assistance.
- I encourage you to persevere though as I do think the draft has very good potential. Cabrils (talk) 00:14, 25 July 2025 (UTC)
Thanks ever so much for your kind and helpful review! I've followed your guidelines, trying to make it sound less like a CV, and also incorporating more independent sourcing. Please would you take another look a the draft (and talk page?) Viljowf (talk) 16:27, 23 July 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @Viljowf,
- Could you please address whether you have a conflict of interest? Thanks. Cabrils (talk) 00:34, 24 July 2025 (UTC)
- Hi there Cabrils, yes, I indicated so in the edit history and there is a general notice on my talk page about my paid work. Viljowf (talk) 03:58, 24 July 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @Viljowf,
- I don't understand what you mean by "I indicated so in the edit history"?
- If by "general notice" you mean the "WP:PAID disclosure", I don't consider that meeting the requirement of "WP:COI" including but not limited to "Editors with a COI, including paid editors, are expected to disclose it whenever they seek to change an affected article's content. Anyone editing for pay must disclose who is paying them, who the client is, and any other relevant affiliation; this is a requirement of the Wikimedia Foundation." See also WP:PAY.
- Please also see my reply on the draft's Talk page.
- Thanks Cabrils (talk) 00:33, 25 July 2025 (UTC)
- Hi Cabrils, there’s a disclosure notice if you scroll right back in the edit history. The edit history is listed as a legit place to disclose the COI, and I have done so. Viljowf (talk) 03:55, 25 July 2025 (UTC)
- @Viljowf thanks for the clarification. Not to get side-tracked (the focus remains on the content of the draft), but where in the edit history is the disclosure notice? And I might be missing something, but where is the edit history listed as a legit place to disclose COI? Thanks. Cabrils (talk) 03:35, 29 July 2025 (UTC)
- Hi Cabrils, edit summaries are included as one of the three legit ways of disclosing paid edits in WP:PAID. The disclosure is at the point where I moved it into the draft space. Thanks again! Viljowf (talk) 11:36, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

- Hi Cabrils, thanks again, I've responded to your queries on the talk page of the draft. One link was broken, and I've explained why the other sources meets WP:RS. Thanks again! Viljowf (talk) 11:13, 28 July 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @Viljowf,
- Your clarifications and repairs helped considerably. I feel the draft now meets the relevant requirements.
- However, because a page on Levin was previously deleted and was repeatedly recreated by advertising-orientated editor/s, a protection was placed on the name "Lindsay Levin" which prevents me from accepting the page into main space. I have contacted the admin who placed that protection and await their response. Cabrils (talk) 04:37, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

Viljowf (talk) 12:07, 30 July 2025 (UTC)
- Hi Cabrils, sorry to bother you about this one again, but I've run into a bit of trouble: another editor blocked the submission before you could approve the page.

I've fixed the problems with the draft I made SpainMMAfan123 (talk) 22:15, 28 July 2025 (UTC)
- @SpainMMAfan123 please see my comment on your Talk page in reponse to your statement there that "Crabils [sic] and Neogaze both said that it was notable enough". For the absence of doubt, I did NOT say the draft was "notable enough". As I wrote on your Talk page, "I actually said (emphasis added) "it may potentially meet the relevant requirements (including WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO) but presently it is not clear that it does."
- I would appreciate if you do not misrepresent my position. Cabrils (talk) 11:42, 4 August 2025 (UTC)
- You're a little late buddy SpainMMAfan123 (talk) 16:52, 4 August 2025 (UTC)
Hello Cabrils, Thank you again for the guidance on this draft. I have conducted further research and believe the subject now clearly meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines through both the academic criteria (WP:NPROF) and the general notability guideline (WP:GNG). (I have already declared a conflict of interest.) The subject meets multiple WP:NPROF criteria: WP:NPROF #5 (Named Chair/Appointment): The subject holds a named deanship, the "H. Chik M. Erzurumlu Dean" at Portland State University, and previously held a named chair, the "John and Elsie Martinez Biomedical Engineering Chair," at Tulane University. WP:NPROF #2 (Fellowship): He is a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE). The subject also meets WP:GNG, as demonstrated by significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. Per your request, here are three of the best sources that establish notability: KOIN News (CBS Affiliate): "PSU engineering dean leans into Native American heritage." This is a secondary, independent news profile providing significant coverage, satisfying WP:GNG. [1] Portland State University Faculty Directory. This primary source reliably verifies his current named deanship ("H. Chik M. Erzurumlu Dean"), satisfying WP:NPROF #5. [2] [Source Verifying AIMBE Fellowship]. This source verifies his fellowship in a prestigious academic society, satisfying WP:NPROF #2. (You will still need to find a good link for this, such as the official announcement from AIMBE or a university press release about it). I have incorporated these sources, removed weaker ones, and edited for neutrality. I would be grateful if you would reassess the draft. Thank you. Maseeh MarComms (talk) 23:46, 4 August 2025 (UTC)

Struggling with the Draft and feel like giving up: Request for Advice
[edit]Hi Cabrils
I hope you're well. I just wanted to be honest and say I'm really struggling with this Draft:David Marc de Ferranti. I'm starting to feel completely overwhelmed and unsure if I’m the right person to push it forward.
I’ve been giving it my best, but at this point, I’m honestly losing confidence and feel like I’m hitting a wall. I've failed to find even 3 best sources (which widely talk about him) to back it up.
Its driving me crazy!
Would it be okay if I deleted the draft and stepped away from it, so that someone else can start afresh on their own page? I’d really appreciate your thoughts on whether that’s an option and if it's possible for someone else to create same draft with same title after I delete it from my page.
Thanks so much for your time and support.
Regards,
Glonnadiyedits (talk) 09:40, 7 August 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @Glonnadiyedits,
- Thank you for the sincere note. I'm sorry you are feeling overwhelmed and not optimistic, although I too have felt that before!
- To my understanding you can delete the draft; or you can leave it and it will automatically be deleted if no changes are made for 6 months.
- All the best. Cabrils (talk) 07:11, 11 August 2025 (UTC)
Draft:Margaret Goodman: Review
[edit]Hey thanks for letting me know what was wrong. However, in your description you said that she is a professor, I believe you are mixing her up with another Margaret Goodman who teaches at Wittenburg University. She is of course nowhere near as notable as the Margaret the page is about. Snoogins1942 (talk) 17:32, 11 August 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for the clarification. I don't think that affects the gist of my comments, so please feel free to address the issues raised. Cabrils (talk) 00:23, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
Draft:Devon Henry: Reassess
[edit]Hi @Cabrils!
Thank you so much for the encouraging review and comments on Draft:Devon Henry. I’ve completed a full rewrite of the article based on your feedback. The lead now opens with the subject’s primary notability (leadership in the removal of 20+ Confederate monuments) and his major institutional honor (Norfolk State University tower naming). All content is supported by ~10 high-quality, independent, reliable secondary sources, with inline <ref> citations for every substantive claim.
On the draft’s talk page, I’ve:
- Listed the Three Best Sources that clearly demonstrate notability.
- Added a Notability Criteria Rationale section specifying that I believe the article meets WP:ANYBIO #3 and WP:GNG, along with reasoning and source references.
I have also addressed my interest in the subject matter, and any conflicts, on my user page.
I believe the draft now satisfies the criteria you outlined, and I’d be grateful if you could reassess it when you have time.
Thank you for your earlier guidance — it was very helpful in strengthening the draft. Drelegacy (talk) 03:08, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @Drelegacy,
- Well done, all good edits. I am persuaded by your cogent comments above. If you would like to submit the draft for review I would be pleased to accept it into mainspace (please ping me so I know). Good work. Cabrils (talk) 03:24, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
- Hi again, @Cabrils. Submitted the draft for review. Thank you for all of your great feedback. Drelegacy (talk) 03:34, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
- Glad I could help @Drelegacy. Draft accepted in mainspace. Cabrils (talk) 03:36, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
- Hi again, @Cabrils. Submitted the draft for review. Thank you for all of your great feedback. Drelegacy (talk) 03:34, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
Thanks for the feedback on the draft. I have refined the references and have included some extra information in the talk section of the draft (including 3 good sources). If you could take another look at it I'd be very thankful. Tmacatm (talk) 08:29, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @Tmacatm, thanks for the ping.
- I'm glad you got in touch because this draft has good potential.
- Thanks for clarifying your lack of conflict of interest.
- Following your recent edits I have done some research and expanded the draft considerably - the draft was quite dated. Please see what I've done and feel free to develop further, but at this point I would be content to accept the draft into mainspace where it can continue to be expanded (there's quite a lot of available material). I'll await your reply before doing anything. Cabrils (talk) 02:45, 13 August 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you so much for expanding the draft, it looks great. I think it would be good to publish the draft now and potentially expand upon it later.
- I would like to add an image of Curnoe to the infobox, but I haven't been able to find a visibly non-copyright image of him so far. I might just be looking in the wrong places, though.
- Either way, glad to have this page done (for now). Tmacatm (talk) 07:00, 13 August 2025 (UTC)
- @Tmacatm, Good one. Draft accepted into mainspace.
- Yes, copyright-free imagery is delicate, and it sounds like you're aware that Wikipedia takes copyright seriously. You're probably looking in the right places, but in my experience copyright-free photos of academics are difficult to find. You could always approach Curnoe directly and ask him for one, but it will need to meet WP:C.
- All the best with it. Cabrils (talk) 00:04, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

Request for Reassessment: Draft: Andrew Ian Port
[edit]Hi!! Thank you so much for your thorough feedback on my draft. I found it very helpful. I think I've fixed the notability issue by using reviews/journal articles as references instead of posts by universities and such. I also think that the subject qualifies according to the WP:NACADEMIC # 8 rule and maybe #1 as well. Thanks for linking that page, I didn't know about the rules regarding notability and it made a lot of sense. Finally, I think I fixed the formatting on the referencing so that it's properly cited and I also just got rid of the image because I found the photo guidelines confusing. Or rather, I don't know how to find a non-copyright image. All this to say, I really appreciated your feedback and I was wondering if you could take another look at the page. If there's still stuff that needs to change, I want to make sure I do it correctly. Kind regards, AcademiaCat (talk) 21:30, 13 August 2025 (UTC)
- Hi AcademiaCat, thanks for the ping.
- Firstly, I would encourage you to create a User Page as this will make communicating much more efficient.
- Thank you for your kind words, glad I could be of some help.
- Before looking at your revisions, which sound encouraging, you must please address whether you have a conflict of interest? Looking at your User Talk page, you have been submitting this draft repeatedly since August 2022, all of which attempts have been unsuccessful. Further, numerous reviewers have requested you to clarify--in fact declare-- your conflict of interest, which seems quite obvious based on the drafts. The review process cannot progress until this is done. I left detailed instructions in my comment on the draft for how to properly declare a conflict of interest. Thanks. Cabrils (talk) 00:21, 14 August 2025 (UTC)
- hi, okay, I think I've gotten everything in order (I think, crossing my fingers). The COI is definitely there now, though please let me know if it's incorrectly done. I also didn't know I had to publish the user page officially, but I have that done now, so I hope that's also correct. I appreciate your patience. AcademiaCat (talk) 00:39, 18 August 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @AcademiaCat,
- OK. No worries, happy to help.
- A couple of things:
- 1. COI declaration:
- Thanks for adding that to the draft page; you now need to add that declaration to your Talk page per my instructions in my comment on the draft: if you have any connection to the subject, including being the subject (see WP:AUTOBIO) or being paid, you have a conflict of interest that you must declare on your Talk page (to see instructions on how to do this please click the link).
- Also, what is the nature of your conflict? Are you the subject? Are you being paid? etc
- 2. Per my Comment:
- It would help our volunteer reviewers by identifying, on the draft's talk page, the WP:THREE best sources that establish notability of the subject.
- It would also be helpful if you could please identify with specificity, exactly which criteria you believe the page meets (eg "I think the page now meets WP:NPROF criteria #3, because XXXXX"). In your comment above you don't explain why you think the draft meets the criteria.
- 3. Your User page: You don't have to officially publish a user page, but as I said, doing so will make communicating much more efficient.
- Let me know when you've addressed these issues and I'd be happy to have another look. Cabrils (talk) 01:19, 19 August 2025 (UTC)

Request for Review - Draft: Ron_K._Patterson
[edit]Thank you so much for your feedback on my draft. This was very helpful! I believe I have addressed what was needed. Dr. Patterson, as the 15th president of Murray State University, has accumulated multiple published articles that are reliable, many of which are from secondary sources such as media, and has notability as well due to this position as a university president; hence, the sources which have been included. Changes have been made both to the publishing/citing of sources and the change in wording to reflect less of a promotional CV and more in alignment with wikipedia's expectations. Thank you in advance for your review of this updated draft! 15:50, 15 August 2025 (UTC)~ Shawn Touney, August 15, 2025 Stouney12 (talk) 15:50, 15 August 2025 (UTC)
- Hi Shawn,
- Firstly, I would encourage you to create a User Page as this will make communicating much more efficient.
- Thank you for your kind words, glad I could be of some help.
- Before looking at your revisions, which sound encouraging, you must please address whether you have a conflict of interest? You have been trying repeatedly to have this draft accepted since July; and it is the only page you have edited (apart from some minor edits on Murray State University, which is of course Patterson's employer, so it seems highly likely that you are either Patterson, or have been paid by him to produce the page.
- Look forward to your clarification, thank you. Cabrils (talk) 23:25, 15 August 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you again for all of your assistance and recommendations. To address these: I will plan to create a user page! In addressing the conflict of interest, I am not Dr. Patterson, and as a staff member at Murray State University, my goal is to simply create a wikipedia presence that aligns with all of wikipedia's guidelines - particularly, the use of secondary sources, abstaining from any type of promotional/CV type of messaging, and with the goal of simply having external audiences utilize the page as an opportunity to learn more about Dr. Patterson. Thank you again for all of your assistance! Stouney12 (talk) 14:53, 18 August 2025 (UTC)

- Not to nag, but I see you still have not made the COI declaration on YOUR Talk page (and assuming you still plan to create a User Page, which amongst other benefits will mean you will easily be notified of replies to messages you post).
- Please see my reply to your post on the draft's Talk page (for greater visibility than here). Cabrils (talk) 00:23, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

Request for Reassessment: Draft:Vincenzo Galdi
[edit]Hi Cabrils,
Thank you very much for your thoughtful and constructive review of Draft:Vincenzo Galdi. I’ve addressed the concerns you raised and would greatly appreciate a re-review:
1. Image copyright: The image has been uploaded to Wikimedia Commons as my own work under a CC BY-SA 4.0 license: [3]
![[3]](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Vincenzo_Galdi_2023.png){kind=link}
2. Conflict of interest: I’ve disclosed my COI using the
 | The following Wikipedia contributor may be personally or professionally connected to the subject of this draft. Relevant policies and guidelines may include conflict of interest, autobiography, and neutral point of view. |
template on the draft’s Talk page, along with a brief explanation.
3. Sources: I’ve removed or replaced sources that were not independent or reliable. The article now focuses on third-party, reliable coverage.
4. Notability: I believe the draft now satisfies WP:NPROF criteria:
- Criterion #3 – The subject's work on metamaterial-based analog computing was published in Science and received international mainstream media attention, including: NBC News coverage
- Criterion #6 – The subject is a Fellow of both IEEE and Optica, two highly selective professional societies: IEEE Fellows list Optica Fellows list
If further improvement is needed, I’m happy to continue revising. Many thanks again for your time and guidance. Vgaldi (talk) 08:23, 24 August 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you Professor Galdi for all that.
- I completely concur, and was about to accept the draft into main space when I see another reviewer has already done so.
- I thought I just should mention, even though you are probably aware, the following from WP:OWN:
- "All Wikipedia pages and articles are edited collaboratively by the Wikipedian community of volunteer contributors. No one, no matter what, has the right to act as if they are the owner of a particular article (or any part of it). Even a subject of an article, be that a person or organization, does not own the article, nor has any right to dictate what the article may or may not say. No one, whether a subject or an article creator, has a responsibility to maintain an article or can normally be held responsible for its content."
- If in the future you have any concerns about future edits that may occur, please feel free to contact me and I would be happy to have a look and assess. Cabrils (talk) 01:52, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
- Dear Cabrils,
- Thank you very much for your kind support throughout the process and for your thoughtful note. I truly appreciate the time and care you’ve dedicated to reviewing the draft, and I fully understand and respect the principle of collaborative authorship as outlined in WP:OWN. Your reminder is well taken, and I’ll be mindful of this going forward.
- I’m very grateful for your willingness to assist in the future, and I’ll certainly reach out should any issues arise that would benefit from an experienced editorial perspective.
- Best regards,
- Vgaldi (talk) 06:13, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for your kind words Professor, I'm very happy to help. I would encourage you to create a User Page because it will make communicating much more efficient; and you can then generate auto-alerts to your preferred email, to be notified of changes to the page, for example. And similarly you can then be notified of messages sent to you, like this one from me. Please see WP:UP for helpful instructions.
- All the best. Cabrils (talk) 06:24, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
Request for Reassessment: Draft:John_C._Volin
[edit]Hello, User:Cabrils. Thank you for taking the time to review my draft article, Draft:John_C._Volin.
I have added the "UserboxCOI" template to my user page, and I have added the "Connected contributor" to the draft talk page.
I believe that the page meets WP:NPROF criteria #6. Under the WP:NPROF specific criteria notes, point #6b states that "Criterion 6 may be satisfied, for example, if the person has held the post of president or chancellor[...]" Dr. Volin is the current president of Gustavus Adolphus College, which I believe satisfies this point.
Regarding the reliability of the sources: Under the WP:NPROF specific criteria notes, point #6a states that "For documenting that a person has held such a post (but not for a judgement of whether or not the institution or society is a major one), publications of the institution where the post is held are considered a reliable source." I believe this to mean that reference to gustavus.edu would be considered reliable for this purpose. I'll also note that the existing article for our previous president Rebecca_M._Bergman only has three references, and two of those have the same URL pointing to the "President's Office" institution page.
The copyright for the image used is owned by Gustavus Adolphus College. The marketing department has, or will soon, send the release email to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org publishing it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International license. This process should be completed within the 30 day period allotted after the image was uploaded.
Thanks!
Note: I was just about to submit this to your talk page, when I took another look at the article and saw that everything except the very first sentence has been deleted. Even the revision that deleted everything was removed from the public archive. Do you have any idea what's going on here? Did I do something wrong or not attribute something properly?
Tlauer2 (talk) 18:28, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @Tlauer2, thanks for the ping.
- The material removed from the draft was done so by the highly experienced reviewer @MCE89, who gave the following reason in the Edit Summary:
- So to answer your question, "Did I do something wrong...?": it appears you breached copyright policies by copying content from somewhere.

Request for reassessment of Draft:Noodle Factory AI
[edit]Hi @Cabrils. Thanks again for your earlier comments on Draft:Noodle Factory AI. I've made changes based on your feedback:
- Removed non-reliable sources
- Rewrote in a more neutral style (less advertorial)
- Focused on coverage from mainstream media, universities and academic research > routine startup mentions
- I've also declared my COI on both my user page and draft talk page
As you asked, here are three strongest sources I believe show notability:
- The Straits Times (2021,2023) - national newspaper coverage of the platform in Singapore
- University of London pilot project (2023) - used the platform in teaching, which won Gartner's Innovation Award; also referenced in AACSB insights (2024)
- Institute of Technical Education / IEEE - independent action research on AI tutoring and marking with our platform
I believe the draft meets WP:GNG and WP:NCORP. Would appreciate if you could have another look when you get the chance. Thanks! Walter Winnie (talk) 03:52, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @Walter Winnie,
- Thanks for the ping.
- I have posted a copy of your comment above over on the draft's Talk page, for greater visibility for other Reviewers.
- I see @RangersRus has declined the draft again, which they did after your most recent amendments, so I would encourage you to see if there's more you can do.
- All the best with it. Cabrils (talk) 23:59, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks @Cabrils! I appreciate you moving my note over to the Talk page for visibility. I’ll keep working on strengthening the sources and addressing the reviewers’ concerns. Walter Winnie (talk) 03:31, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
Request for Reassessment: Draft:Dom Kelly (activist)
[edit]Thank you for the feedback; it was very helpful. First, to respond to the concern, I am not associated with Mr. Kelly. I am a member of the disability community and believe he is a notable leader within our community. I updated to include only notable secondary sources and removed sections that relied only on or too heavily on his social media posts or blogs. I did keep in a specific section from his op-ed in Mondoweiss as well as added a bit from a more recent op-ed in Teen Vogue, as those are both notable secondary sources. I edited language throughout as requested, and in regards to the photo chosen, I found that in Wikimedia Commons and it was uploaded 10 years ago, in 2015, so there should be no copyright issue: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Domjoansean.jpg
I have also added to the talk page the WP:THREE best sources to explain his notoriety and explained the criteria the page now meets. Finallyfading1437 (talk) 03:18, 31 August 2025 (UTC)
- Hi Finallyfading1437,
- Please see my responses on the draft's Talk page.
- As I wrote there: I would encourage you to create a User Page as it will make communicating much more efficient. Cabrils (talk) 23:38, 2 September 2025 (UTC)
Request for Reassessment of Draft:Bacus
[edit]Thank you for your feedback. I've added to the talk page of Draft:Bacus regarding notability. I removed several occurrences of the word "outstanding" which was used to describe award recipients. I am hopeful that my edits and arguments on the talk page address your concerns.

Hello, Cabrils,
Please carefully review our guidelines for draftifying main space articles at Wikipedia:Drafts#Moving articles to draftspace. This is not a recently created article and so it shouldn't have been eligible for draftifying. But given that you have provided an assessment for it, I'm not going to revert the page move. But please be clear of the guidelines and do not move articles that were created more than 90 days ago to Draft space. Seek other solutions like tagging an article with notes about problem areas or pursuing article deletion. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 01:33, 3 September 2025 (UTC)

Clarification on declined draft for Islamic Finance Guru page – request for feedback
[edit]Hello Cabrils,
Thank you for taking the time to review my draft https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Islamic_Finance_Guru. I saw that it was declined on 14 August 2025 for not establishing notability. I want to make sure I properly understand the concerns before resubmitting.
From my perspective, I believe the subject does meet Wikipedia’s notability criteria (WP:GNG), since it has been covered in depth by multiple independent, reliable, secondary sources. For example, there are references from outlets such as the Financial Times, Forbes, BBC, Al Jazeera, TRT World, and Islam Channel, among others. These sources provide significant coverage of the subject’s pioneering role in a new form of finance, as well as involvement in public-interest campaigns such as pension equality and alternative models of student finance.
I completely understand that Wikipedia articles must avoid promotional tone, and I am happy to continue improving the draft to align with WP:NPOV. I would also note that there are existing articles in related areas with fewer or less substantive references than the ones included here, so I feel this case may meet the bar for inclusion.
Could you please advise whether strengthening the citations (e.g. quoting directly from the major publications) would help address your concern, or whether there is a different aspect of the draft that is preventing it from moving forward?
I appreciate your time and guidance. Bluefinance (talk) 09:00, 10 September 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @Bluefinance,
- Thanks for the ping.
- Please see my comment posted on the draft for greater visibility for other reviewers.
- Thanks. Cabrils (talk) 21:59, 10 September 2025 (UTC)
- I also note that you still have to address the issues raised in my (detailed) comment on the draft, including but not limited to conflict of interest and WP:THREE. Thanks. Cabrils (talk) 01:12, 23 September 2025 (UTC)
Hi Cabrils! Can you, please, review the page I've created called 'Veronika Bakotić'? It would be pretty much appreciated! Nika Bako (talk) 13:01, 16 September 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @Nika Bako,
- Thanks for the ping and request, which I appreciate.
- Unfortunately I don't feel well qualified to assess the draft given all the cited sources are not in English. Hopefully other reviewers will be in a better position to assist. It does appear to be a well presented draft, but again, I'm in no position to properly assess.
- All the best with it. Cabrils (talk) 00:48, 23 September 2025 (UTC)
- I appreciate that you've answered. I was hoping that you could translate cited sources and that you would be able to confirm the page. It is pretty much a problem to find someone who knows both languages. Nika Bako (talk) 18:59, 25 September 2025 (UTC)
Trying again. I've added some background on her work at Pew as well as citations of sources where her work -- and sometimes quotes -- have appeared.
I see you are in Australia (lucky you — visited friends in Perth and Sydney in the mid-1990s and have always wanted to return) and just want to point out that Pew is one of the most highly regarded research centers in the US. Its work is respected as fair and nonpartisan, and the projects that Amy led were widely disseminated (and quoted), but one of the issues in a biography like this one is that Pew traditionally has featured the results of its work, and not the people behind it (hence no profiles of its researchers in local publications, for example).
I noticed after I submitted this originally that I am actually permitted to publish directly to the site; I would do so, but am not sure how to take it out of the "submitted" file. I am a retired journalist (editor at The Philadelphia Inquirer, the Los Angeles Times, Bloomberg, etc.) and take pains to be fair, factual and non-hype-y. Bluepencil13 (talk) 17:49, 17 September 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @Bluepencil13,
- Thank you for the ping, and helpful comments.
- I'm pleased to say that I've accepted the draft into main space. I took the liberty of consolidating a couple of references that had been repeated, but otherwise felt it now read well.
- Thank you for explaining your background experience-- that is helpful and I'm sure Wikipedia will be better off for your contributions.
- Given you are relatively new to Wikipedia, I would encourage you to continue to submit new drafts via the Articles for Creation method rather than publishing directly to main space, where new articles are tagged for review anyway. I would be pleased to assess any future drafts if you would like me to by leaving a note here on my Talk page (like you've done in this post).
- Finally (and I say preemptively that I feel somewhat condescending in making suggestions to a person of your professional experience, so for that I apologise in advance), your commitment to "take pains to be fair, factual and non-hype-y" will be greatly valued here, but I thought it worth mentioning that the primary criteria for content on Wikipedia is notability. No matter how fair and factual an article, it should not be accepted unless the subject is demonstrably notable: see WP:N. In this particular case of Amy Mitchell, she is clearly notable.
- And I would encourage you to peruse the links I included in my comment on the draft (which now appear on the Talk page) which most new editors find helpful.

Article Review Request: Draft:Ülkü Hilal Çiftçi
[edit]Hello Cabrils,
I hope this message finds you well. I would like to request your review of the Draft:Ülkü Hilal Çiftçi article that I have been working on. The article covers a young Turkish actress and singer who has gained significant recognition for her role in the television series İnci Taneleri.
Recent improvements made
[edit]I have recently undertaken a comprehensive review and improvement of the article's references according to WP:RS guidelines:
- **Source quality upgrade**: Replaced questionable entertainment websites and blogs with established Turkish media outlets including Hürriyet, CNN TÜRK, Cumhuriyet, and TGRT Haber
- **Enhanced citation formatting**: Added proper author attribution, publication dates, and standardized formatting using appropriate citation templates
- **Wikipedia standards compliance**: Added language notation for Turkish sources and improved overall reference formatting
Current status
[edit]The article now features:
- Comprehensive biographical coverage from reliable sources
- Detailed filmography spanning from 2012 to present
- Proper citation formatting meeting Wikipedia standards
- Sources from established Turkish media outlets with editorial oversight
Areas for potential feedback
[edit]I would particularly appreciate your thoughts on: 1. Overall article structure and organization 2. Source reliability and citation quality 3. Compliance with Wikipedia's biographical guidelines for living persons (WP:BLP) 4. Any suggestions for further improvements
The article has previously received AFC declines, but I believe the recent reference improvements have significantly strengthened its quality and reliability. Your expertise and fresh perspective would be invaluable in assessing whether the article is now ready for mainspace inclusion.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your feedback.
Best regards,

- Hi @ZeroKnowledgeNode,
- Thanks for the ping.
- Unfortunately because of my lack of Turkish, I don't feel well qualified to review the draft.
- I did take the liberty of consolidating the references as many were repeated multiple times.
- Just looking generally at the citations, they do seem pretty superficial to me, notwithstanding that some appear on apparently credible sources like CNN.
- Hopefully other reviewers will be in a better position to assist.
- All the best with it. Cabrils (talk) 01:07, 23 September 2025 (UTC)
Notabilities Warning on the Brightspeed Page
[edit]For some unknown reason a notability warning was somehow placed onto the Brightspeed page although the article has multiple major sources. How could the article's notabilities be questioned when the article was created almost three years ago and the notability did not get contested around those times?

- Hi @Tropical Storm Angela,
- Thanks for the ping.
- For greater visibility, I have copied your post and pasted it on the Brightspeed Talk page, where I have replied. Cabrils (talk) 22:16, 23 September 2025 (UTC)
Do you think this article would be a good candidate for draftification? It really seems like it should incubate somewhere that's not article space; prior to my bold blanking of the controversies section it was mostly OR supported by primary sources, and as you noted it's full of non-free images under inaccurate licenses. I'm coming to you with this question because you seem to be familiar with how to deal with new pages in this state and I don't want to overstep by draftifying. Is there maybe a way to AfD but with the D standing for "Draft"? Always learning --tony 02:33, 26 September 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @TonySt,
- That's a great idea, but unfortunately pages that are greater than 90 days old are not eligible for draftification: see WP:DRAFTNO.
- The page has potential, and Carroll could probably meet WP:CREATIVE, but the page author clearly has COI (likely an autobiography). So I have posted a detailed note on the page's Talk page (and tagged you there). Hopefully that addresses the issues? Cabrils (talk) 06:45, 26 September 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @TonySt,
- Thanks very much for your help in managing this, including your post on the Admin Board. Very much appreciated. Cabrils (talk) 01:26, 30 September 2025 (UTC)
- I'm just glad it was taken care of as quickly as it was once we got eyes on it. Sorry you were threatened in the first place, though! Take care :) --tony 01:31, 30 September 2025 (UTC)
- Me too and you too. See you around the pages... Cabrils (talk) 03:54, 30 September 2025 (UTC)
