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:

Most new comers want to help, though they are yet to familiarise themselves with the act and art of Wikipedia. With this, they might be making mistakes that go against the policies of Wikipedia. Assuming good faith will make us look at what they wanted to do rather what they are doing. With this, we will neither attack nor scare them (bite) but motivate them and also give them a polite, honest and noncondemning guides on how to navigate their ways on Wikipedia. When I joined Wikipedia, I didn't know about the copyright policy and I got flagged by Dianaa. She actually followed the WP:AGF to correct and guide me. Check it here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Ibjaja055#Please_don't_copy_material_from_elsewhere_online

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

Answer: It is a set of policies that show if an article is worthy of having a space on Wikipedia, merged with another subject or remove from Wikipedia.

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

Answer: No. A step by step instructions on how to change a car tire does not meet the WP:GNG nor WP:SNG. It falls on on WP:NOT under WP:NOTEVERYTHING i.e. a subject does not merit Wikipedia just because it is true or useful.

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: The WP: GNG is a general policy that all subjects must have before they can merit a stand-alone page on Wikipedia. Under the WP:GNG an article must have reliable sources that can create the assumption that the article is notable. Not only that, the reliable sources must be widely covered, not just ordinary mention of names but must be talking about the subject.
 * The executive director of CITAD, Yunusa Ya'u is a trivial mention in all the sources related to CITAD. Therefore the significant coverage belongs to CITAD, not its director.

While WP:SNG is a consensus-derived policy to show when an article should merit a page. It is divided into different topic areas with guidelines on when an article should and should not be created.
 * For instance, a politician must be a public office holder, not an aspirant.
 * The article of Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran who is an aspirant of Lagos State in Nigeria was fiercely debated before it was accepted because it is yet to merit a public office holder requirement despite the wide media coverage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Abdul-Azeez_Olajide_Adediran

On deciding on what to use when patrolling an article, the WP:GNG and WP:SNG are to be used. However, if adequate sourcing or significant coverage cannot be found then the article can be deleted or merged.

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: Yes, the subject is not notable. It has failed the General notability guideline for Reliable References as it is stated in and  under the sport's notability guideline


 * 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.
