Hello, welcome to your New Page Patrol School page! Every person I instruct will have their own page on which I will give them support and tasks for them to complete. Please make sure you have this page added to your watchlist. Your NPP School page has been specifically designed according to you and what you have requested instruction in - for that reason, please be as specific as possible when under my instruction, so that I know the best ways to help you (and do not be afraid to let me know if you think something isn't working).

Make sure you read through Misplaced Pages:Notability as that's the knowledge which most of the questions I ask you and tasks you do will revolve around.

How to use this page

This page will be built up over your time in the Academy, with new sections being added as you complete old ones. Each section will end with a task, written in bold type - this might just ask a question, or it might require you to go and do something. You can answer a question by typing the answer below the task; if you have to do something, you will need to provide diffs to demonstrate that you have completed the task. Some sections will have more than one task, sometimes additional tasks may be added to a section as you complete them. Please always sign your responses to tasks as you would on a talk page.

If both the instructor and student make completing the course curriculum a top priority, it will generally take around a month to go through the entirety of the curriculum. This pace is not required or necessarily expected, but rather is provided in order to give participants an idea of what to expect.

Notability

PART 1

When patrolling or reviewing an article, you may often come across articles do not meet the WP:N guidelines, but the editors make the edits in good faith. Please read WP:AGF and do not WP:BITE the new editors.

A. Notability is a test guidelines to decide whether a given topic warrants its own article in Misplaced Pages mainspace. Please read Misplaced Pages:What Misplaced Pages is not, General Notability Guidelines, Specific Notability Guidelines, Stand-alone list before completing the following tasks.

General notability guidelines

1. In your own words, why it is important to WP:AGF and not WP:BITE new editors.

Answer:

It is important to assume good faith because most harmful actions are caused by ignorance rather than malicious intent (Hanlon's razor) and are performed by newcomers. Most editors (like myself) did not have any clue on what we were allowed and not allowed to do. For example I made two AI generated articles (one of which was speedily deleted and the other was converted into a redirect) before I knew that LLM's are not supposed to be used without verification to write prose and make articles. We should never bite the newcomers because they may be future contributors of the project who are willing to improve and learn what to do and not to do.

2. In your own words, how does notability is defined in Misplaced Pages?

Answer:

Notability is defined as something which has been somewhat extensively covered by reliable secondary sources which have no affiliation with the subject. They should not be part of what wikipedia is not (for example, definition of words without any more encyclopedic content).

3. Does a step by step instructions on how to "Change a car tire" considered a notable topic in Misplaced Pages?

Answer:

No it is not considered a notable topic for Misplaced Pages.

4. What are the differences between A WP:GNG and a specific notability guidelines? how do we determine which one to use when patrolling an article?

Answer:

The differences between GNG and SNGs is that while GNG apply to all articles, SNGs only apply to certain topics. SNGs does not replace GNG but has additional guidelines to what articles should be made not be made. They prevent the deletion of pages that otherwise have significant secondary coverage.

Specific notability guidelines

5. If an editor creates an article about "2024 Summer Olympics" in 2019 without providing any sources, is the subject considered not notable and why?

Answer:

No, it is not. There would've been no coverage of something that has not happened which makes it unverifiable, plus the 2024 Summer Olympics also had a chance of being cancelled.

B. Without considered of sources/content policies and review just based on "subject specific notability" (SSN) "alone" for sake of the exercises below, please answer if the subject meets the SSN guidelines, based on the given content below, and specify under (1) which notability criteria they meet or fail (example - MUSICBI#1 if certain sub set of criteria is applicable) and (2) reasons/explanations.

6. A New York city based 2019 start up software company , specializing in data mining, has just received a USD 200K investor fund.

Answer:

If coverage of this start up only comes from the investor fund then it does not meet Misplaced Pages:Notability (organizations and companies) criteria, specifically Misplaced Pages:INHERITORG, which states that an organization/company does not inherit the notability of an event just because the organization had a role in iit.

7. Yanal Ashmouz who is a Ultimate Fighting Championships fighters with the undefeated mixed martial arts record of 8-1.

Answer:

Yanal Ashmouz does not meet Misplaced Pages:SPORTSCRIT as there is only trivial, non-extensive coverage of him, nor has he been racked top ten neither by sherdog.com nor fightmatrix.com as per Misplaced Pages:NMMA.

8. A upcoming action drama title "Suleiman the Great" based on the the life of Suleiman the Magnificent, was reported will be in production in December 2025 and to be released on August 2026 in the cinemas.

Answer:

Due to the fact that budget constraints, scripting issues or casting/acting issues could interfere with the film's production, "Suleiman the Great" does not warrant an article since principal photography as principal photography has not started.
