Reason my article was declined
[edit]Hi, I saw that you recently declined my article. Could you give me a specific reason why you declined my article? I know you gave me a link, but you didn't give a specific reason like most editors do. Thank you. HoodedBeast09 (talk) 23:01, 20 September 2025 (UTC)
AFC issues
[edit]You recently reviewed a number of AFCs by VivianOram. Those articles have now been moved to the article space and by my reading of them, they never addressed your comments. You are FAR more familiar with the AFC process than I am (I came to the articles because they contained CAT:UNKNOWN params). But it would seem these articles should be moved back to drafts and this user cautioned for ignoring/not following the process... I'll leave that to your expertise though.

- Good morning! Thank you for bringing this up, as I would have stumbled upon only at a later point in time. Now, technically, approving your own AfC draft and thus evading the process is not forbidden. In a case though in which a topic's/subject's notability cannot be established, the best way ahead is starting an AfD discussion. If there is a good chance at notability, but it's not yet demonstrated, moving the page back into the draft space is a good option, and whenever a page is almost good to go, spedinging five minutes improving it is just easier than doing anything of the above.
- In this particular case I strongly suspect that the draft creator used some sort of LLM to get the drafts done because the style and grammar he used is too different across his pages. This could also explain category errors – ChatGPT knows what a category should look like on Wikipedia, but it doesn't know whether what it's suggesting actually is a category.
- The big picture looks like some diehard fan project or just some good old plain undisclosed editing. But per WP:AGF, of course, and with no irony, I presume the former. There is no laundry involved. Best, --Johannes (Talk) (Contribs) (Articles) 06:59, 28 October 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for the detailed response! Really appreciate it.
