Negative XP moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Negative XP, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Misplaced Pages). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Misplaced Pages's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Sir, I remove the good-faith unreliable source (local activist website and personal blog). I looked at the topic and it satisfy https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Basic%20criteria since not just he is a musician but has been source of other news coverage as well like him and his canceled festival. Besides you could also see bullet 7 from https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Notability_(music)#Criteria_for_musicians_and_ensembles reflect in the the article sources:

• Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Misplaced Pages standards, including verifiability.

In that case for headlining the "local scene" of incelcore. This shows notability of the article.

Let me know if there is pending issues. Many thanks in advance. बिनोद थारू (talk) 22:36, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Negative XP (September 11)

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Negative XP and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
• If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Misplaced Pages's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, बिनोद थारू! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

Deletion discussion about Negative XP

Hello, बिनोद थारू, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. I edit here too, under the username FormalDude, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Negative XP, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Negative XP.

You might like to note that such discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. And, our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|FormalDude}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

I have seen people do it on wikipedia for rude comments/attacks. @FormalDude बिनोद थारू (talk) 21:47, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

September 2023

Please do not delete or edit legitimate talk page comments, as you did at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Negative XP. Such edits are disruptive, and may appear to other editors to be vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Thank you. ––FormalDude (talk) 21:46, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

I have seen people do it on wikipedia for rude comments/attacks. @FormalDude

The comment you deleted does not constitute a personal attack. Please self-revert and leave the redaction to experienced editors and admins. ––FormalDude (talk) 21:49, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

Also, typing my username with an @ does not ping me. You need to use a template like {{Reply to}}. And your comment on the AfD is unsigned. ––FormalDude (talk) 21:52, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

It was an attack to me, much like a group of mean girls gossipping about the ugly girl in the school. बिनोद थारू (talk) 21:52, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

You said "Let me know if this not allowed and I will revert back." I'm letting you know, now please revert back. ––FormalDude (talk) 21:56, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

Derogatory comments about other editors may be removed by any editor. (from your page) बिनोद थारू (talk) 21:59, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

Merger discussion for Pornhub Community intro

An article that you have been involved in editing—Pornhub Community intro—has been proposed for merging with another article. If you are interested, please participate in the merger discussion. Thank you. — Bilorv (talk) 20:59, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics - gender and sexuality

You have recently edited a page related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Misplaced Pages’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Misplaced Pages administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Misplaced Pages;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Your close of Misplaced Pages:Articles_for_deletion/Art_Whizin

Hi, I think you may have accidentally closed this instead of !voting, as your close does not reflect the consensus and reads as a supervote, and anyway non-admins are strongly discouraged from closing any XFDs that are possibly controversial (i.e. anything where there is disagreement). Could you please revert and allow an admin to close/relist? Thank you. JoelleJay (talk) 06:52, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

You also need to revert your closure of New Relic, as you are not allowed to close AFDs you participated in and the presence of a delete !vote removes the nominator's ability to withdraw. JoelleJay (talk) 07:32, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

I understand and take in mind your message. As well as abstaining from closing in the future. My tool doesn't have a reopen, so I am not able to unfortunately . but keep was snowball so this is only a bureaucratic mishap. बिनोद थारू (talk) 00:42, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

You can go into the history and revert your close. Even if it's a snowball, you are not allowed to override other delete !votes by withdrawing the nomination. JoelleJay (talk) 05:56, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

Relisting of AfD's

Hi. I noticed you relisted two articles for deletion today including one which had only keep votes. The relisting comment for Red Light Management was "there not been clear justification that no source brought forward validate CORP". That suggests to me you are trying to second-guess what seems to be a pretty clear consensus, rather than trying to generate greater discussion or a more clear consensus as described at WP:Articles_for_deletion/Administrator_instructions#Relisting_AfDs

May I suggest that as a relatively new user, you might want to participate in more deletion discussions before taking on tasks like closing or relisting? Oblivy (talk) 06:56, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

I understand and take in mind your message, abstain from close afd for the long future. As for the discussion, there was no consensus. The IP just votes "keep" and a keep voter is criticized recurringly for making impulsive votes, the vote itself being just "keep". hence a relist. Argument were about COI versus sources meeting the threshold of NCORP. बिनोद थारू (talk) 00:47, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

That's not accurate, is it? There were three registered accounts that voted and just one IP editor.

I guess the relisted AfD will proceed but I appreciate your intention to refrain from closing tasks for the foreseeable future, I've been participating in AfD discussions for a long time and even I don't feel like I'm ready to do closures (although I'm sometimes tempted). Oblivy (talk) 01:30, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

NICOR Closure

Hi, sorry to return to your talk page again but as the AfD is closed this seems to be the right place.
When I asked about WP:BEFORE searches, I was suggesting you might not have done enough work to form an opinion on non-notability before bringing an AfD, The Loyola cite was on the 1st page of Google Scholar results for Nicor Energy, strongly suggesting your before searches were inadequate (and if not, you could have said why you considered and rejected the sources).
I appreciate you took my comment seriously, but based on the discussions above with me and with @JoelleJay, I was surprised to see you using closing tools again. I think the proper response was to add a comment withdrawing the AfD, and then let an admin or more experienced user consider the close. Oblivy (talk) 02:48, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

I just clicked close for convenience, no meaningful action was taken like when I closed before keep due to consensus or relist or mistakenly with one other delete vote. Sorry again, those discussion did not cross my mind in this situation. I was under the idea of avoiding WP:BUREAUCRACY. बिनोद थारू (talk) 02:55, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

There is some value to non-admin closures where you want to withdraw and there's nothing but keep votes. But considering that you have already been challenged about your use of closing tools, not just by me, but also by another editor much more experienced than me, perhaps you should consider disabling those tools altogether. Oblivy (talk) 03:01, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

Previous account(s)

Hello, बिनोद थारू,

Part of my duties is reviewing open AFDs and given your policy-rich comments and assertiveness, you don't sound like a new editor who has only been active for several months, you act like a very experienced editor who is knowledgable about Misplaced Pages guidelines and policies.

Did you edit here with other account(s)? If so, please list them on your User page or you could be seen as guilty of sockpuppetry. This is not a personal attack, this is an observation based on the 10 years I've been editing this project. Being pro-active on this matter can help avoid conflict in the future. Thank you.

• I disagree with this idea since all it takes it takes is reading a page once to be able to refer to it. Likewise, all it takes is copy pasting a Misplaced Pages code to be able to use it in your page. It is treating others as dumb to say they are not supposed to look at Misplaced Pages markdown source code on this website, or observe the discussion forums and make a bookmark of the guideline pages. Anyone from and not from wikipedia is able to keep a tab of the notability guideline open.
• I joined here in October with intent first to publish the articles I had in mind and drafted. Now I have mostly fallen doing discussions because my article do not get reviewed or get nominated for deletion like my first one (where you took sides against me I recall).
• As an admin you have the power to check me for having an alternate account ever or any other acceptable use policy violation. I live with family members (parents and grandparents) but who never made an account here. It is not fair however to ban me for a single sarcastic comment I made in a particular state of humor.
