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 Notability as that's the knowledge which most of the questions I ask you and tasks you do will revolve around.

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.
 * How to use this 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 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: If we were to treat new editors with hostility, they might be discouraged from further editing, or we might even get into an edit war with them over something that could've been resolved with a simple, thoughtful request. We need to understand that not everyone is completely familiar with the many rules of Wikipedia, and this especially holds true for newcomers. - OpalYosutebito (talk) 13:03, 16 April 2024 (UTC)


 * ✅. Cassiopeia  talk  05:20, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

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

Answer: Notability on Wikipedia is used to determine whether or not a topic, media, person, etc. is fleshed out enough to have its own article. However, sources need to back up certain facts and data so the article retains its encyclopedic value and/or doesn't devolve into nonsense. - OpalYosutebito (talk) 13:03, 16 April 2024 (UTC)


 * . 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 whee 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  05:20, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

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

Answer: No, as a step-by-step process might be too short to be considered notable. There might not be enough sources, or the entire set of instructions might be considered redundant, as there could be existing parent articles that are more preferable. While standalone lists are allowed, they're generally reserved for disambiguations or they go into much more detail than just a simple list. For example, a list of episodes in a TV show doesn't just list the title of the episode, but also a brief synopsis, production date, writers, etc., or it may even have its own article to go even further in depth. - OpalYosutebito (talk) 13:03, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
 * . No, per WP:NOTMANUAL. Wikipedia allows descriptions of things but not imperative instructions on how to use them.  Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a how to manual site. Cassiopeia   talk  05:20, 21 April 2024 (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: An SNG is more in-depth than a GNG, as GNGs mainly tackle significant coverage while SNGs change dramatically depending on the topic being written. Some SNGs even have rules that discourage certain articles from being created. However, just because an article passes GNG and/or SNG doesn't mean it's exempt from being patrolled. Determining whether an article falls under SNG criteria requires a deeper analysis than looking for GNG criteria, as some SNGs are much stricter than others.

- OpalYosutebito (talk) 03:14, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
 * GNG are used for all articles regardless of the topic/subject. Specific notability guidelines (SNG) or sport specific notability guidelines (SSG) offer a more in-depth criteria for different topics.  Both can be used when patrolling but those subject falls under SNG/SSG (sport specific guidelines) however, SSN or SNG do NOT superseded GNG. If fails to meet the WP:GNG guidelines would sometimes nominated for deletion WP:AfD for discussion to determine the status of the article; it's important to check SNG which may save the article from deletion.  (We will cover AfD in later assignment). Cassiopeia   talk  05:20, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Specific notability guidelines
5. If an editor creates an article about "2028 Summer Olympics" in 2024 without providing any sources, is the subject considered not notable and why?

Answer: The subject isn't considered notable, as notability solely depends on the existence of sources, which the subject doesn't have. - OpalYosutebito (talk) 13:03, 16 April 2024 (UTC)


 * strictly speaking yes it is not notable but the subject is considered notable as 1. it had widespread effect as an international event, 2. it has already been written about in independent sources. 3. it's in relatively near future with set place and dates (Summer Olympics 2040 would not pass for instance. Host of the Olympic country usually announced 8 years prior to the event and sources should be easily found on the web. Cassiopeia   talk  05:20, 21 April 2024 (UTC)


 * B. Without consideration of sources/content policies and reviewing 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 subset of criteria is applicable) and (2) reasons/explanations.

6. A New York city based 2023 start up software company, specializing in data mining, has just received a USD 200K investor fund.

Answer: This subject doesn't go in depth regarding the importance of the investor fund, or even what the company is named. Companies receive large sums of money all the time for various reasons, so this isn't notable. ORGTRIV (standard notices) - OpalYosutebito (talk) 13:03, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
 * ✅ Cassiopeia  talk  05:20, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

7. Guram Kutateladze is a mixed martial arts fighter who fights under Ultimate Fighting Championships with a record MMA record of 12-4.

Answer: The mere fact that he has a good fighting record isn't enough for Guram to be considered "notable". He hasn't been ranked in the world top 10, so it's unlikely that significant coverage would exist for him. NMMA#1 - OpalYosutebito (talk) 21:34, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
 * ✅ Cassiopeia  talk  05:20, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

8. A upcoming action drama title "Suleiman the Great" based on the the life of Suleiman the Magnificent, was reported to be in production in February 2024 and to be released on August 2024 in the cinemas.

Answer: It's too soon to tell whether or not this is notable. When the time comes for the movie to be produced, unless if the production itself is notable in some way, it shouldn't immediately get its own article. Also, the fact that it's about one of the most famous Ottoman Emperors doesn't automatically make it notable, as famous people's lives are adapted into films all the time. WP:NFF paragraph 3 - OpalYosutebito (talk) 21:34, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
 * . see WP:NFF. Cassiopeia  talk  05:20, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

9. A political candidate, without any previous or current political position, who is running for the November 2024 election for a Senator position in the United States with multiple local newspapers covering his candidacy.

Answer: Even with some local newspapers covering him, it's unlikely there would be enough information to make an entire article about him, as most articles on people are covered by much larger sources. In short, just being a candidate isn't enough for him to have his own article, and what few sources there are on him don't provide a diverse enough range of information about him to warrant an article to begin with. WP:POLITICIANS

The candidate can still be qualified for a list, as the newspapers are independent from him. WP:CSC - OpalYosutebito (talk) 01:37, 4 April 2024 (UTC)


 * ✅. Fails WP:POLITICIAN - just running for a position is not enough. (To pass WP:NPOL, once needs to be officially elected to state/national position.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FF8000"> Cassiopeia</b>  talk  05:20, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

10. A singer who self produced his first album in May 2023 and his songs are listed in Spotify.

Answer: People add their own music to social media and music uploading sites (Spotify, SoundCloud, etc) all the time, but that doesn't make them notable. The singer's album hasn't gotten any significant coverage, nor has it charted on Billboard. Furthermore, he doesn't qualify under any of the criteria for WP:SINGER. - OpalYosutebito (talk) 21:34, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
 * ✅. Right. Subject fails WP:SINGER SSN notability guideline.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FF8000"> Cassiopeia</b>  talk  05:20, 21 April 2024 (UTC)


 * C. Based on  which SSN guidelines the below subjects are notable under (1) which notability criteria MUSICBI#1 (if certain sub set of criteria is applicable) and (2) reasons/explanations

11. Carlos Alós-Ferrer

Answer: Alós-Ferrer has made significant contributions to the fields of game theory, social choice, and bounded rationality, to name a few. He also has had an extensive background teaching at various universities. WP:NACADEMIC - OpalYosutebito (talk) 17:31, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
 * ✅ You need to provide not only the guidelines link but which criteria (see C section instructions).(see below)
 * The subject passed WP:NACADEMIC - criteria 1 for being highly cited and 8 as the chief editor of Journal of Economic Psychology .<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FF8000"> Cassiopeia</b>   talk  05:20, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

12. Alistair Overeem

Answer: While Overeem hasn't been ranked in the world top 10 by Sherdog, he was ranked #6 on FightMatrix's historical rankings for the heavyweight division. WP:ATHLETE

Also, his extensive background in both mixed martial arts and kickboxing, as well as setting numerous records in the fields, makes him notable. - OpalYosutebito (talk) 13:03, 16 April 2024 (UTC)


 * the question is about which SSG and which SSG criteria.
 * Subject meets both WP:NMMA and WP:NKICK for criteria 1 & 2. He is also one of only two fighters to hold world titles in both MMA and K-1 kickboxing at the same time.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FF8000"> Cassiopeia</b>  talk  05:20, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

13. Jennifer Lopez

Answer: As Jennifer Lopez has had significant roles in many notable films, shows, etc, alongside being regarded as the most influential Latin entertainer of all time, Jennifer is more than qualified to be presumed notable. WP:ENT - OpalYosutebito (talk) 13:03, 16 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Again, the question is about which SSG and which SSG criteria.
 * Subject meets WP:ENTERTAINER - 1,2,3; WP:SINGER - almost all criteria. She also passes WP:NACTOR as she has featured in major roles in many movies.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FF8000"> Cassiopeia</b>  talk  05:20, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

14. Three Mile Island accident

Answer: The incident is widely considered to be the worst nuclear accident in American history, leading to more improved safety precautions in American nuclear power plants. WP:EVENT - OpalYosutebito (talk) 17:12, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

15. Persepolis

Answer: Since Persepolis was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, which means it's culturally significant, it's presumed notable. WP:GEOFEAT

Background for trainees

 * Wikipedia is an encyclopedia for such content claimed should be supported by independent (secondary), reliable sources for verification. Please read WP:RS, WP:IS, WP:RSP, WP:V, WP:PROVEIT, WP:Primary, WP:Secondary and WP:Tertiary. WP:New page patrol source guide and WP:Reliable sources/Perennial sources may be a useful reference for looking up the reliability of a source that has been discussed before on Wikipedia.

Answer the the below questions in your own words.
 * You can contact WP:RX if you could not find the sources yourself either on the web due to paywalls or offline-only sources.

Answer: If the content isn't verified, then it could damage the reputation of the topic at large or whoever added it in the first place, and it would also provide speculation as to what's deemed as reliable information. - OpalYosutebito (talk) 15:16, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
 * 4. Please explain in your own words why the content claimed needs to be verified?

Answer: Wikipedia isn't a reliable source, as it can be edited by nearly anyone, subjecting it to vandalism and false/biased information. It's also a form of self-referencing. WP:NOTSOURCE - OpalYosutebito (talk) 12:57, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
 * 5. Could we use Wikipedia as the source? and why?

Answer: If the source isn't independent, it's either provided by the subject themselves or a group closely associated with the subject. However, this doesn't automatically mean that it will be biased. A press release is an example of a non-independent, reliable subject.
 * 6. Give an example and explain how a source can be reliable but not independent of a subject?

Martina Hingis is a Swiss former professional tennis player. She won five Grand Slam singles titles. Hingis was one of the highest-paid female athletes in 2000. She retired in November 2007 after being hampered by a hip injury for several months and testing positive for a metabolite of cocaine during that year's Wimbledon Championships, which led to a two-year suspension from the sport.

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. Fallingwater, which has been called "the best all-time work of American architecture." 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.
