Possible Aphex Twin GT/FT?

Hi. I've actually improved most of the articles related to Richard's studio albums, and I wanted to know if you are interested in improving the remaining articles in order to promote them collectively to GT or FT status. Tell me what you think. — 💽 LunaEclipse 💽 🌹 ⚧ ^(CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST) 00:54, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I've seen your work on the AFX and BOC album articles and appreciate it a huge amount. Would love to help get everything promoted to GA and possibly even to FT status. Beachweak (talk) 01:04, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Dynomite08: A Reluctant Cutie

Please don't tag drafts with any speedy deletion criteria in the "A" series; those apply only to articles. I deleted the draft per WP:G11.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:56, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies, still getting used to the speedy deletion process. Thank you for letting me know. Beachweak (talk) 00:57, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion declined: Draft:Davide Pietro Capasso

Hello Beachweak. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Draft:Davide Pietro Capasso, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not unambiguously promotional. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 20:53, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for letting me know. At least to me, the account being made to only edit this draft and having "Davide" in the name made me think its purpose was only for self-promotion. That aside, I understand the decision. Beachweak (talk) 21:00, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Autobiographies are strongly discouraged but are not prohibited. If one were to write an autobiograohy, draft space is the correct place so it can be submitted via AFC. What has been written is just a bland profile consisting of where they go to school and their interests and hobbies. How is that promotional? -- Whpq (talk) 21:24, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

At the very least, it's unencyclopedic; the content should have went on their user page. CSD criteria for drafts has no "unencyclopedic" reason for nominating something, so I went with what was closest. I do see I was too hasty to nominate the page since it's inoffensive and a simple message would probably have fixed the problem, and I apologise for that. Beachweak (talk) 21:32, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WP:CSD is not a shortcut to deleting stuff that you personally think should be deleted. It is a set of specific criteria decided by community consensus that allow for the bypassing of the regular deletion process. If you find yourself looking for the closest CSD because it doesn't actually meet one, then you should not be using CSD. In the case of this draft, yes it is unencyclopedic. That is why draft space exists. It is a place to work on articles to bring them into shape. Draft articles, especially when created, aren't expected to be in perfect mains space shape. The author can continue to refine the draft. If it gets refined to the point where it is accepted as an article, then great. We have a new article. If not, they are likely to give up on it, and it will be automatically tagged for WP:G13 after the requisite time has elapsed. -- Whpq (talk) 21:57, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the explanation. That clears up a lot of other doubts I had about the CSD process, and I apologise for the hasty tagging. Beachweak (talk) 22:04, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy decline: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Ilanadallama

Hello Beachweak. I would just like to tell you that my name is LULUBEATZ and I am trying to get me and Ilanadallama (my music partner and the person I wrote this draft about) more popular and legitimate and so I've been writing our Wikipedia pages. You declined my draft very quickly, and the page is ready to be published. It's also really hard to become a popular independent artist in the United States. Please publish it. Thanks. Lulubeatzwiki (talk) 22:31, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You have a conflict of interest with the draft you wrote; Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a place to promote your music. Stuff like NoCopyrightSounds, Monstercat and TuneCore exist for that very reason. 💽 LunaEclipse 💽 🌹 ⚧ ^(CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST) 22:39, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! Thank you for reaching out. Wikipedia articles are written on topics that are notable. Notability is established through citations and reliable, secondary sources that cover a topic.

I understand it is frustrating getting a draft quickly declined, however no sources are present within your article, and as such notability has not been established. If you can find multiple reliable, secondary news sources to write about you and your music partner, I'm sure a draft will be written.

Additionally, as LunaEclipse has mentioned, Wikipedia is not a place for promotion; it is an encyclopedia. For more information about notability, I suggest you check out WP:NMUSIC. Beachweak (talk) 22:41, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Draft: Attack on the Brazilian Fort in Punta del Este

Hi, just letting you know that I saw your comment and added 4 additional sources to my draft. Thank you for the speedy review! Accuratelibrarian (talk) 22:06, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for adding more sources - I will take a look over the draft shortly. Beachweak (talk) 22:12, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Draft: Natural Resources Access Regulator

Hi, thank you for reviewing the draft article so quickly. I have added additional sources to the sections requested. :) Znotes (talk) 01:33, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for making the changes! I'll do a quick check over the draft and make some minor adjustments, then it should be able to get published. Beachweak (talk) 01:45, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Znotes, I've finished going through the draft. Great work! There's still a couple things that need citations which I have marked in the article. Once those are addressed, I'll go ahead and publish it. Overall though, it's a really solid draft. Beachweak (talk) 03:05, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Have added and moved references to cover those sections you marked.

One quick question about the edits you made. With the history section, I can see you've split it two based on years but I'm not sure where the 'November 2020' date has come from when you say 'From November 2020 onwards...'? I think the second date section header should be 2019 - present and this line should say 'From April 2020 onwards, NRAR was given...' Znotes (talk) 04:13, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry should say 'From April 2019 onwards' Znotes (talk) 04:14, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies. Think I was tired and grabbed a wrong date from a source. Everything looks good to go and I've went ahead and published the article. Thanks for your work! Beachweak (talk) 11:23, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from HopefulTraveller (18:25, 17 January 2025)

Hello Beachweak! I've been a user of and monthly financial supporter of Wikipedia for some time and am interested in updating the info on entries concerning a celebrity friend who has two pages, with whom I work and about whom I make You Tube videos. I don't have a question right now - I'll get my thoughts together and consult you before doing anything! Thank you for being my mentor. --HopefulTraveller (talk) 18:26, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Thank you for the kind words. From the sounds of your message, you may have a conflict of interest regarding editing of this individual. I heavily recommend you read the guidelines for COI editing that I've linked above. Aside from that - welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you enjoy your time here.

Question from Filipenarciso (08:48, 23 January 2025)

Hi Rambley!

I would like your advice on how to create a well-structured and impactful biography based on my musical career as a public figure and electronic music artist. Could you provide tips on the key elements to include, how to highlight my achievements effectively, and any best practices for writing a professional yet engaging biography?

Thank you for your guidance!

Best regards, --Filipenarciso (talk) 08:48, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Good morning! Welcome to Wikipedia.

The first and immediate thing you should be aware of is that creating and editing autobiographies about yourself is strongly discouraged. It's an example of conflict of interest editing. Generally, it's difficult to keep biographies about yourself both neutral, verifiable and with no original research. If you are truly notable and have been discussed in various secondary, reliable, independant sources, then an editor will most likely write an article about you themselves!

If you'd still like to go ahead and write an article, I recommend you submit it as a draft to articles for creation first. That way, an editor can review your draft to ensure notability and neutrality.

I'd recommend you also read WP:AUTO and specifically WP:YOURSELF for more information. Thank you and happy editing! Rambley (talk) 10:59, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Taafulisia (22:28, 23 January 2025)

Hello, I'd like to know the history between samoa and the pacific islanders. --Taafulisia (talk) 22:28, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Welcome to Wikipedia.

Unfortunately I personally can't help with this; I can only answer questions about editing! I'd recommend asking your question at Wikipedia:Reference desk instead. You could also read through Samoa, History of Samoa or History of the Pacific Islands. Sorry I can't be much more help! Rambley (talk) 22:38, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi I’m looking to make a wiki article about myself can you help me make one. Thank you so much --Clubparisdude (talk) 10:41, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!

Please read my above response to Filipenarciso as it should answer many of your questions. TL;DR: it's strongly discouraged, it's an example of conflict of interest editing and if you're already notable then somebody will write an article on you themselves.
