nomination of Jack James (fencer)
Thankyou for your nomination of Jack James (fencer). I am in the process of going through every article in birth years. I started in 1927 births and have worked my way back to 1914 births. I have seen lots of these articles sourcesd only to olympia.com and sportsreference.com, or only to olympia.com. Some may have other sources that people did not find because the default notability guidelines meant people did not feel a need to hunt down more sources before creating an article. This is going to be a large scale project, but I commend you for starting it.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:47, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Olympedia.com is a copy of Sports-Reference.com's Olympics content, so they are basically the same. FOARP (talk) 17:48, 28 December 2021 (UTC)


 * So if I understand right, sportsreference.com is an attempt at being more comprehensive than Wikipedia wants to be, and so is not a source adding towards GNG. So Justo José Caraballo, which is an article only sourced to it, is no where near having the sourcing to pass GNG, at least in its present form?John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:49, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

Request move
Hi, hope you are doing well. I recently closed a RM at Talk:Girl of My Dreams (The Moffatts song). I moved Girl of My Dreams → Girl of My Dreams (The Moffatts song), but unfortunately i couldn't move Girl of My Dreams (disambiguation) → Girl of My Dreams. I think it can only be moved by a page mover. Could you please do this? TheBirdsShedTears (talk) 05:36, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

I was not aware of this user right until i closed this discussion. TheBirdsShedTears (talk) 05:37, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

Williams Haskins
I have to agree with you, that we have no good indication that people searching for this name are looking for an unremakable olympic athlete. Actually since I came across the article through running down the whole birth year list, I have severe doubts people go looking for the article at all.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:42, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

Victor Putmans
Victor Putmans is the first article I have come across where it only says he might have played football, could have done this, without any actual claims of having done anything for sure. What do you think the best approach to this article is?John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:47, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Assuming no sources can be found to clarify who this guy actually was, just AFD it. We definitely shouldn't be hosting articles about someone we aren't even clear on the most basic details of and with no reliable sourcing at all. FOARP (talk) 14:52, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

Rolf W. Schnyder
Commendable work on the Rolf W. Schnyder article, FOARP. My opinions on notability notwithstanding, you've done a great job. MIDI (talk) 17:40, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

You wrote "OK, I support the move", but you still have a bolded delete on the page. SpinningSpark 14:35, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Discretionary sanctions topic area changes
In a process that began last year with WP:DS2021, the Arbitration Committee is evaluating Discretionary Sanctions (DS) in order to improve it. A larger package of reforms is slated for sometime this year. From the work done so far, it became clear a number of areas may no longer need DS or that some DS areas may be overly broad.

The topics proposed for revocation are:
 * Senkaku islands
 * Waldorf education
 * Ancient Egyptian race controversy
 * Scientology
 * Landmark worldwide

The topics proposed for a rewording of what is covered under DS are:
 * India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan
 * Armenia/Azerbaijan

Additionally any Article probation topics not already revoked are proposed for revocation.

Community feedback is invited and welcome at Arbitration/Requests/Motions. --Barkeep49 (talk) 16:59, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
