I'm one of four administrators who regularly review PRODS and I find almost all of your taggings very appropriate (just a note, I'll never say 100% to any question!). However, I've noticed that lately you have added the year that the article was created to the PROD tag. As far as I'm concerned, when the article was created has no influence on whether or not it should be deleted. Yes, 20 years ago on the project, our standards for notability and verification were much different than they are today but just like there are bad and good articles being written in 2025, there were bad and good articles being written in 2005. It's an interesting data point but I don't think it should influence editors' decisions on whether or not to remove the PROD tag or admins' decision on whether or not to delete the article. Thank you again for your many contributions to the project! Liz Read!

I was able to locate its tehsil and district, but nothing more. Sources on Google are sketchy. Anyway, I tried. Bearian (talk) 04:08, 21 January 2025 (UTC) I had to trough (pardon the pun) through a ton of garbage to find a few reliable sources, translated them badly, added them to the article, and removed your proposed deletion tag. Can you please take a look at the current version before going to AfD to see if it's good enough? Bearian (talk) 04:05, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
Did you see that there is a Cebuano language article? Yes, I know the whole story ... just covering all bases, so to speak. Bearian (talk) 00:16, 23 January 2025 (UTC) I found multiple media reports about this neighborhood in the Indian media. I'm taking the coverage with a grain of salt because 1) the media there is garbage and the sources are deprecated; 2) the coverage is heavily slanted and caste-biased, and I think the situation has a local media are in cahoots with the local politicians to take the valuable land away from the locals for developers to profit vibe but I'm not a conspiracy theorist; and 3) all of the stories are either about the supposed crime wave of

There are so many unreferenced Indian and Iranian Geo stubs! We are going to have to live with them with primary sources, because (1) the media in those countries are unreliable and (2) that's all we can work with. The poor admins are overwhelmed with the sheer volume of prods to triage; see User_talk:PharyngealImplosive7. Tagging Liz. Bearian (talk) 05:43, 2 February 2025 (UTC)
Deprodding of Taking Over (EP)[edit]Hi. Just letting you know that I recently objected to your proposed deletion of Taking Over (EP). I agreed with you that the article topic was not notable but articles should not be deleted where there is a viable alternative to deletion. In this case, I merged the article about the album into the parent article about the band. Here is some info about merging which may be helpful if you are patrolling pages that could potentially be deleted. Happy editing, -- Lenny Marks (talk) 21:57, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
PRODs of settlements[edit]Hi Joe: you PROD a lot of places but your standard PROD reason - "No significant coverage of the village in independent reliable sources to establish notability." - is incorrect for settlements, which are not covered by GNG and don't require significant coverage in independent reliable sources to establish notability, but by WP:GEOLAND, which has only two requirements: (a) a source showing that the subject is actually a settlement (and not for example an isolated building or a geographical feature); and (b) a source showing that the subject is "legally recognized", which is meaningless outside the USA but is generally interpreted as "some kind of administrative recognition or existence". I think this may have been pointed out before. Best wishes, Ingratis (talk) 15:45, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
Question on rating[edit]Hello JoeNMLC, I hope you are doing great. I wanted to ask a question regarding the rating of an article I created. A few weeks ago, the article Acesander's cup was rated C; I know rating isn't anything particularly important but I'd be interested to know, what exactly would it take for this article to be rated higher, at least B? The reason I'm asking is because some of my previous articles (such as Pydna curse tablets, Akanthos curse tablet, Land of dreams (mythology) etc.) were unexpectedly rated B and, while I always put effort in my articles, I was particularly determined for this one to become B-rated too: In particular, the sources I used are WP:RS (written by professionals in the field of archaeology and published by reliable publications); every sentence in the body is carefully sourced, at times with more than one citation, and I expand with explanatory notes when neeed; I tried to provide all necessary information, like analysis on the artifact and text, translations, and proposed restorations. Generally, I tried to make the article look well taken care of. I'm sorry for the long text and thank you in advance. Piccco (talk) 21:37, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

Would your head explode if I redirected this to oligopoly? Bearian (talk) 09:46, 1 March 2025 (UTC)
- @Bearian - not at all. One of the "side-benefits" of Prod is articles that can be updated, redirected or merged. This topic is 100% outside my wheelhouse, so thank you. Cheers! JoeNMLC (talk) 14:43, 1 March 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks. Done. Bearian (talk) 14:45, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

Long stubs
[edit]I have previously reviewed 1-500. 10-500 likely need Category:Long stubs with short prose applied. I am working on 500+. I'll post an update and let you know how fare I've gotten. ~Kvng (talk) 22:49, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
- Done through 559. Category:Long stubs with short prose applied as appropriate 1-9 and 500-559. ~Kvng (talk) 22:59, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
- Done through 599 ~Kvng (talk) 19:15, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
- @Kvng - Progress: Done = 10 to 100 for now. Will wait for Wednesday bot run to complete, to check results. JoeNMLC (talk) 21:37, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
- I haven't changed the search script to exclude Category:Long stubs with short prose. Until that's done, there will be no interesting results to check. ~Kvng (talk) 22:03, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

Boston Female Liberation page
[edit]Hi Joe,
I saw you noted that the Boston Female Liberation page is an "orphan." I am trying to add links to other pages but I need some help as to how to do that. For example, I would like to link the page to "The Second Wave" page.
Thanks. Liberationfemale (talk) 17:46, 12 May 2025 (UTC)
- @Liberationfemale, see Wikipedia:Orphan for full "how-to" info. While I am not familiar with the topic, I formerly did a lot of de-orphaning until I was advised to stop. The article Boston Female Liberation is considered "Orphan" because it has no mentions (wikilinks) in other articles. Think of Wikipedia like a spider-web, inter-connected information. For the person reading about "Boston Female Liberation", when they click on "Special pages", then choose "What links here", it shows all articles where "Boston Female Liberation" is listed. So to de-orphan, add a link TO BFL article in one or more related articles. Cheers! JoeNMLC (talk) 18:45, 12 May 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks Joe. However, I am not sure how to add a link to BFL article in a related article.
- Please advise as I am new to this. Liberationfemale (talk) 20:28, 12 May 2025 (UTC)
- @Liberationfemale, Happy to point you to Help:Getting started and a bit more detailed at WP:LINK. In addition, the folks over at Teahouse are helpful for answering questions. Best, JoeNMLC (talk) 20:55, 12 May 2025 (UTC)
