Appeal regarding deleted article for Aadithyaa_Vinod

am writing to seek guidance regarding the Wikipedia page for Aadithyaa_Vinod, a regional author and actor, which was recently deleted. I acknowledge that my previous attempts had issues, including a title spelling error and formatting concerns. I am committed to following Wikipedia’s standards and would appreciate your help in understanding how to bring this article to a "Live" state correctly.I believe the subject meets Wikipedia’s Notability guidelines. based on the following:

Government Recognition: The author’s novel, "[Novel Title]," has been officially recognized by [Name of Gov Body/Award].
Film Adaptation: A feature film based on this novel is currently in production, with the author serving as the lead actor.
Secondary Sources: I have gathered several independent, reliable sources (news articles, literary reviews) to verify these claims.

My Request for Guidance:

Drafting in Sandbox: Would it be better for me to create the draft in my "User Sandbox" first so it can be reviewed by an experienced editor before going live?
Deletion Reason: Could you clarify if the recent deletion was due to "G4" (recreation of deleted content) or "A7" (lack of significance)? This will help me address the specific gaps.
Conflict of Interest: I want to be transparent if my relationship with the subject requires a $WP:COI$ disclosure.

I am eager to learn the correct process to ensure this artist's contributions are documented accurately. Thank you for your time and for the work you do to maintain Wikipedia’s integrity.

Best regards, Sunithashankar (talk) 10:03, 25 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Could you also be transparent as to whether you used an LLM to write this request? You are free to reformulate such a request in your own words. ^Complex/_Rational 14:43, 25 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

New pages patrol January–February 2026 Backlog drive

January–February 2026 Backlog Drive | New pages patrol

New Pages Patrol is hosting a one-time, two-month experimental backlog drive aimed at reducing the backlog. This will be a combo drive: both articles and redirects will earn points.

The drive will run from 1 January to 28 February 2026.
The drive is divided into two phases. Participants may take part in either phase or across both phases, depending on availability.
Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled during the drive.
Two-month drive-exclusive barnstars will be awarded to eligible participants.
Each article review earns 1 point, while each redirect review earns 0.2 points.
Streak awards will be granted based on consistently meeting weekly point thresholds.
Barnstars will also be awarded for re-reviewing articles previously reviewed by other patrollers during the drive.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hussain Tekri

Hi CR,
You closed this AFD as delete. There were three participants in this AFD and it has since been identified that one of them has been globally blocked as a compromised account. You may wish to reopen/relist. TarnishedPath^talk 04:02, 28 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@TarnishedPath: Thanks for letting me know. As the other two !votes were delete, I don't believe it's necessary to reopen/relist solely for the formality of the process, though I am willing to retroactively relabel the close as a soft deletion (effectively an expired PROD), so that if someone believes the article should be undeleted they may go straight to WP:REFUND. ^Complex/_Rational 14:21, 28 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your suggestion seems like a good solution. TarnishedPath^talk 23:18, 28 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Check my work?

I attempted to add a new criteria for Template:CSD summary, the LLMs. I believe I've written the code correctly and the category certainly gets populated, but for some reason the # of current members doesn't ever include a quantity. Can you show me what I've clearly missed? BusterD (talk) 12:36, 29 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@BusterD: It looks like there was an extra "Category:" prefix, which is already implicitly included in {{PAGESINCAT}}. I removed it and it seems to work now. Cheers, ^Complex/_Rational 15:20, 29 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Narhar Ambadas Kurundkar

Hello, I would like to request the undeletion of this page. The page was recently deleted on the ground of notability. There is a full-length monograph on the subject published by Sahitya Akademi, India's National Academy of Letters, which is enough to establish notability. Can you please move the article to draftspace so I can work on it? --Gazal world (talk) 19:49, 30 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Gazal world: I've undeleted the page and moved it to Draft:Narhar Ambadas Kurundkar, where you can work on it and add additional sources (which were not found during the AfD) that may demonstrate notability. ^Complex/_Rational 22:31, 30 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much, ComplexRational. --Gazal world (talk) 18:42, 2 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Revdel needed for BLP violation

Hi, I think this revision needs to be deleted under RD2 as an unsourced BLP violation. Thanks, ScalarFactor (talk) 01:22, 2 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@ScalarFactor: I don't believe this falls within the purview of RD2: although it violates WP:BLPCRIME, some reliable sources do exist, and they are not grossly misrepresented in a manner that is insulting or degrading. On the other hand, some source material was copied verbatim, so I've deleted under RD1. ^Complex/_Rational 01:55, 2 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for handling that - I had only seen the first unsourced edition, not the later additions from the TA when making this request. Hope you're having a good new year. ScalarFactor (talk) 01:57, 2 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Happy 2026 to you as well! ^Complex/_Rational 04:23, 3 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Precious anniversary

Happy new year! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:18, 2 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Gerda Arendt: Thank you, and happy new year to you too! ^Complex/_Rational 04:24, 3 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Changes to the Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy's disclosure rules include broadening the consecutive-blocks exception to cover all admin actions and removing the requirement to revision-delete permissible disclosures once they become unnecessary (instead requiring only their removal).

Deletion of Blooket Wikis

Hello, I am writing to kindly request a reconsideration of the deleted Blooket Wiki article. The article included reliable sources for citation. Several references came from well-established and trusted wiki platforms, including major Fandom wikis that are commonly used as secondary sources for online game documentation. Because of the use of recognized wiki references and proper sourcing, I believe the article meets basic citation standards. I respectfully request that you review the article again and consider undeleting it. Hosterr (talk) 12:00, 16 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Hosterr: The deletion discussion resulted in a unanimous consensus for deletion. Sources such as Fandom are user-generated and not considered among reliable sources for demonstrating notability. Reliable sources must be published by organizations with a reputation for fact-checking and must not be affiliated with the subject; moreover, no number of unreliable sources can compensate for the absence of reliable ones. As such, I will not undelete the article, and I must advise you that a recreated version will very likely be deleted on the same grounds. Let me know if you have any other questions. ^Complex/_Rational 21:21, 17 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Every content about blooket on entire web is uses generated and fan created content. Is there any solution for this ? Hosterr (talk) 03:05, 18 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

In that case – if there is no significant coverage about Blooket in independent, reliable sources – Wikipedia is not the appropriate place for an article about it. ^Complex/_Rational 22:38, 18 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
