9546: 4084: 8808: 10449:. That band is the definition of the term "Female-fronted musical groups" and perhaps that delete would change their mind? It has always been a band with a lead female singer surrounded by four guys playing keyboard, bass, lead guitar, and drums. many incarnations of the band but always the same lead singer, Martha Davis. She is the only lead singer on every song they ever played. She writes all the songs herself. They have had #1 hits. They have been playing since 1976 and still play today with Martha still writing and singing. I understand that Fleetwood Mac should not be in this category (I agree), but there are bands who deserve it and I never saw this listed. Could it be reopened so I can state this case? 8475:

be—that will trigger opposes. A candidate should not feel the need to take on that burden, at best making someone else's week easier while potentially making their week that much harder. And candidate stress is a much larger problem than opposer stress. We don't have a shortage of opposers, but we do have a shortage of admins. That is not to say opposer stress is not a problem. It very much is. But it is not as large a problem as our inability to hand out more mops, and we shouldn't try to solve one problem by making a worse problem even worse. In other words: Candidates should not say "thank you" because badgering of opposes is not the candidate's problem to fix. It is up to the community to fix it.

11954: 9340: 7028:, I apologize for the previous edit. I came to your talk page to ask your thoughts on modifying my proposed policy. Instead of limiting only the nominator, what if we make the central focus the rate of article creation/nominations? This approach could help prevent issues caused by mass article creations that overload our backlog for page reviewers. It would spare editors from unnecessary headaches when they have to sift through extensive material from a single contributor. I believe editors who create thousands of articles rapidly overlook the workload they create for reviewers. Therefore, I think there should be restrictions in place. 4043: 9013: 9240: 1855: 11927: 9318: 10558: 12072: 5213: 5990:, due to a June 24 decision by the Wikimedia Foundation to support software development on both platforms. Gerrit and GitLab are both code repositories used by developers to write, review, and deploy the software code that supports the MediaWiki software that the wiki projects are built on, as well as the tools used by editors to create and improve content. This decision will safeguard the productivity of our developers and prevent problems in code review from affecting our users.

Put differently: it contains coverage about the partnership, but not about AccesRail itself. Paragraph four is not independent, which leaves the single sentence in paragraph 1. Therefore, source 1 does not qualify as a source for notability purposes. And even if it did, we would need multiple sources to establish notability. Best, 6372: 9003: 2501: 1632: 938: 890: 10642: 101: 8815: 987: 8745: 12807: 12472: 12439: 10131: 10045: 6066: 5979: 3938: 12865:, which are groups of wishes that share a problem. Focus Areas were created for the newly reopened Community Wishlist, which is now open year-round for submissions.

still significant coverage. If a source puts paragraph breaks after every sentence, we need more than two or three of those paragraphs. If there are five paragraphs but they are just rephrasing the same information, that is still not significant coverage. But most sources have paragraph breaks, and it takes two or three standard-length paragraphs to be considered significant coverage. The paragraph count is more of a

10589: 8673: 8872: 12722: 7069:, but that is simply not the case. If one cannot "prove" that they are being harassed by targeted nominations, AGF says we should assume that the nominations are not targeted. That is the very premise of AGF: you need to find evidence that someone is being malicious (in this case, that they are specifically targeting you). If you can't find such evidence, AGF is not being misused as justification – it is 8639: 6001:(PTAC). This group will bring technical contributors and Wikimedia Foundation together to co-define a more resilient, future-proof technological platform.

remove the CFD tag and just put a normal CSD tag on the page or some anonymous tag, then the CFD discussion won't be automatically listed as the reason for deletion. I regularly run a query for empty categories so if a category has been emptied after a CFD closure, there is a good chance I'll see it. But if you see me reverting an edit of yours on a CFD category, that's why I'm doing this. Thanks.

5915:, technically, there is an element of sport to it. Someone from another sport can train to be a wrestler, but not all of them will be good at it. To say their not actual sportspeople is short sided and ignorant. A lot of wrestlers have transitioned from American/Canadian football (that being most of where wrestlers can from during the territory days and into the 1990s), MMA, gymnastics, etc.. 10247: 11883: 12346: 9918: 1758: 6265: 10581: 4992: 11538: 9993: 1712: 603: 541: 12903: 1111:. Looking at that category now, I think it probably needs to be re-thought. It seems a catch-all, and not a very good one. I think the word "feature" is looking like it's a bad word to use for categorization, because in computer software, that can mean a very broad grouping of things. I think there probably should be a split/merge in that category's future. 3838:. For that reason, we don't normally delete stub templates. (That way, we can always recreate the stub category and it will be automatically populated by simply updating the templates.)

therefore are not considered independent). Source 2 does not contain significant coverage.

Because all of those articles were written by the co-founder of Ridge Security, they are not independent of Ridge Security, and therefore they cannot be used to support notability.

Just writing some more for clarification. Source 1 has 4 paragraphs and AccesRail is actually mentioned in all of them.

Even if a discussion doesn't explicitly codify it, it is determining that there isn't enough content to warrant chronology categories before a certain point - there is some reason people always end these nominations at round-number years, for example.

I'll start with the easy part: by two or three paragraphs, I mean two or three paragraphs worth of information about AccesRail. That amount of coverage is considered "significant".

If the purpose can be achieved with an article that was written, why should it matter if the person was paid or not to write it?

Anyhow, while we are waiting for a rename, we need to make sure AccessRail qualifies for an article on Knowledge. We call this "notability", which is a bit of a misnomer: it has absolutely nothing to do with "fame" or "importance", and everything to do with coverage it has received in reliable
