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 Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia mainspace. Please read Wikipedia:What Wikipedia 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: Where a dispute arises, it is better to open discussion channels to de-escalate the situation rather than immediately assuming they are a vandal or disruptive editor. This helps to keep wikipedia welcoming, especially towards new editors who may not yet be aware of many policies. Biting new editors may convince them that wikipedia is not worth the effort of learning, and drive away what could be potentially valuable contributors and subject matter experts.

Y. Cassiopeia talk 01:36, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

2. In your own words, how is notability defined in Wikipedia?

Answer: Notability is a check to see whether a given article's subject is able to pass wikipedia's general or specific notability guidelines, whether it is grouped under the list of items that are not allowed on wikipedia, and whether it has reliable and verifiable sources to back it up. Rob3512 ( Talk) 02:25, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

Y. In Wikipedia, notability means "worthy to be noted" - it is defined as a topic is "presumably" notable for stand-alone article or list if (1) it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject where by the sources talk "directly" about the subject in depth and in length and not only passing mentioned and (2) it is not excluded under the What WP:Wikipedia is not policy. Cassiopeia talk 01:36, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

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

Answer: It would not be considered a notable topic, as it fails the "what wikipedia is not" check, specifically, this section that explains that wikipedia is not a tutorial or guide. Rob3512 ( Talk) 02:25, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

Y. Right as Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a how to manual site. Cassiopeia talk 01:36, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

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: GNGs are a set of broadly defined criteria that apply to all topics and subjects. SNGs are a much narrower and more nuanced criteria that only apply to topics and subjects within its field.

GNGs should be used when first encountering a new article or when a relevant SNG does not exist. SNGs should then be used after the article appears to pass GNG, as SNG may have differing requirements to GNG and be more suited for specialised subjects such as academics, mass media, publications etc Rob3512 ( Talk) 02:25, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

Y Both can be used to review an article; however SNG/SSG do not superseded GNG. Also, certain subjects would not meet GNG due to the fact that no article talk about them directly in length and in dept such the academics- WP:PROF - who would received few or none independence source talk about them (we would see BBC write an article about car stuck in a tree see here but not the President of Australian National University would be hard to find) Other SGN such as WP:NPOL specify a very strict set of source criteria and requirements respectively. Cassiopeia talk 01:36, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

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: The subject would still be considered notable, per WP:NOLY and the exception at WP:CRYSTAL which states that events which are confirmed and have speculation that is well-documented are generally considered notable. However, as the article in question lacks any sources, it may still be deleted or substantially edited to comply with WP:RS, even though the subject passes notability. Rob3512 ( Talk) 06:08, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

Y. Host nation is usually be selected 8 years prior the event, for such there are plenty of independent, reliable sources (IRS) could be found about the subject. It would be a good practice as a reviewer, if you are familiar with the subject, to find sources (3-5 IRS (independent, reliable sources) and add them in to the new page instead of just tagging "unsecured template" into the page. I have done that many times to turn an unsourced article to sourced / notable articles in Wikipedia. Cassiopeia talk 01:36, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

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 2021 start up software company , specializing in data mining, has just received a USD 200K investor fund.

Answer: The subject would not be inherently notable as a company, in particular, the "USD 200K investor fund" is addressed at WP:ORGDEPTH which states that any numerical values or facts do not by themselves make a subject notable. Rob3512 ( Talk) 06:08, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

Y. Cassiopeia talk 01:36, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

7. Guram Kutateladze who is a Ultimate Fighting Championships fighters with the undefeated mixed martial arts record of 12-2.

Answer: Per the specific requirements of MMA notability, this subject would not be notable, as they are not ranked in the top 10 for Sherdog. Rob3512 ( Talk) 06:08, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

Y. Cassiopeia talk 01:36, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

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 2022 and to be released on August 2023 in the cinemas.

Answer: Per the specific requirements of future film notability, this subject would not be notable currently, as it has not started production. However, this notability may change in future as the film progresses through production, post-production and release. Rob3512 ( Talk) 06:08, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

Y. Cassiopeia talk 01:36, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

9. A political candidates, without any previous or current political position, who is running for November 2021 election for a Senator position in United States with multiple local newspapers coverage of his candidacy.

Answer: This subject may be notable per the requirements of politician notability, depending on how significant the coverage is of him by local newspapers and whether there are other coverage by national news. Rob3512 ( Talk) 06:08, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

N. Fails NPOL. Most politician would have some coverage during their campaign for the position. We would accept the article if the subject has "won" the election but yet to assume the office. If significant coverage by federal/local news (IRS) covered him outside his campaign would assume he pass GNG. Cassiopeia talk 01:36, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

10. A singer who self produced his first album in May 2020 and his songs are listed in Spotify.

Answer: This subject would not be notable per the requirements of artiste notability as they have not demonstrated that they meet any of the inclusion criteria there. Rob3512 ( Talk) 06:08, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

Y. Cassiopeia talk 01:36, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

Answer again: Specific criteria (1) and (8) apply. Rob3512 ( Talk · C) 15:14, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

Criteria 8 - the editor-in-chief of an academic journal is correct but how does criteria 1 being met? as you mentioned above that "specifically as the subject held and holds various associate and full professorships at various universities" but under WP:NPOL, it states criteria as "The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources."

Frank Lloyd Wright (June 8, 1867 – April 9, 1959) was an American architect, interior designer, writer, and educator. Wright believed in designing structures that were in harmony with humanity and its environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture. His creative period spanned more than 70 years. He works includes The Guggenheim, swirling, snail-shaped museum in the middle of Manhattan. ^{[1] [2]} Fallingwater, which has been called "the best all-time work of American architecture." ^[3] This is one of Wright's most famous private residences (completed 1937), was built for Mr. and Mrs. Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr., at Mill Run, Pennsylvania. Constructed over a 30-foot waterfall, it was designed according to Wright's desire to place the occupants close to the natural surroundings. The house was intended to be more of a family getaway, rather than a live-in home. ^[4]
