Advice

I was reviewing the article Mogo and what sources might exist. I saw the previous AFD that closed as no consensus and I was doubting that this passed WP:SIGCOV. The problem isn't just the current state of the article. The coverage found, even assuming most of it is good, would leave the article mainly supported by one source. But you have already been down this road and I wanted to hear your analysis. Jontesta (talk) 00:49, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

@Jontesta Well, we can see what happens at another AfD. At the moment I don't have time to look into this - would be good to check the level of coverage in cited academic work Dryden (2022). Is it SIGCOV meeting? _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:38, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

DYK for Retelling

Hi Piotrus,

A few weeks ago, I conducted a DYK review on your submission for the page Retelling. I noticed that, on December 9, it was removed from a queue, as another editor had some substantial concerns regarding both the hook and the article as a whole. A link to their discussion can be found at the DYK submission for the article. I just wanted to reach out and let you know about this, as I was not pinged and only just found out about this, and I assume the same is true for you. Please keep me informed about any future edits you make with the article and the hook and I'll happily proceed with the DYK review process in whatever way I can. Thanks, -JJonahJackalope (talk) 14:12, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
