Howdy!

Saw your comment on the WP:DYK page for Outcome switching. Wanted to come by and say hello. Been a long time! Hope all is well. Ktin (talk) 06:17, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

I was thinking how nice it was to see you too @Ktin! Thanks for dropping a note! Yes I haven’t been able to be on wiki as much as I would like, all the more glad to see you holding down the fort! Have you been well, I hope? Innisfree987 (talk) 08:30, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

Levinus Monson

	The Working Wikipedian's Barnstar
	Thank for your contributions to Levinus Monson. I understand you are trying to help to prevent this article from deletion, although this discussion is about the previous version, not the current version on what your had changed and edited. Whatever will happens, thank you for helping out! ⚒️MinecraftPlayer^321⚒️ | 💬 02:54, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for this acknowledgment, @MinecraftPlayer321, I appreciate it! Just to clarify, AfD discussions are not about a specific version of the entry, but about whether the subject itself is notable, per WP:ARTN and WP:NEXIST. You might also check out WP:BEFORE for advice on the kinds of searches to perform in order to evaluate the subject’s notability before nominating in the future. Happy editing, Innisfree987 (talk) 03:33, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Perfume list - I use Fragrantica references, OK?

Good job clearing the List of perfumes up. Just in case you'll see my edits: I use Fragrantica site. Unfortunately, it has a window called "great deals at EBay". Since EBay is, basically, an online flea market, I have no problem with using Fragrantica as a source of data on perfumes.

It's not like I'm promoting stuff, it's just because I don't really have the time to sift through .PDFs and can't use actually promotional materials from glam mags. 81.89.66.133 (talk) 06:34, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for your message, I appreciate your reaching out. Fragrantica’s database gives no indication of a fact-checking process though, so we can’t count on it as a reliable source. Given the amount of promotion that list attracts, we need to be vigilant about high-quality sources. Thanks for your help on it. Innisfree987 (talk) 09:07, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

To add, I would actually support restricting that list to only perfumes that meet Wikipedia’s standard for notability, since at this point thousands of perfumes are released every year and Wikipedia is not a directory nor an indiscriminate list. At minimum, to justify mention, we need to see some notice in a reliable secondary source; merely existing isn’t enough. Innisfree987 (talk) 09:13, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. Indeed, it's hard to tell if a perfume is notable or not... unless it has own article? 81.89.66.133 (talk) 11:30, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Some have been reviewed in books like Perfumes: The Guide; often those will also have other reliable reviews as well. (Sorry for the delayed reply on this!) Innisfree987 (talk) 06:19, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
