New pages patrol newsletter
Hello ,

Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!

October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here.

PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon.

Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.

Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.

Reminders:
 * You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
 * Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
 * To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Can I create a Wikipedia page with the name Sabu James again? --OruVattamKoodi (talk) 12:35, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello again, I would not recommend that, imdb is not considered a reliable source and it's all you got right now. Please read this: WP:RSSELF (the whole page is also worth reading) and this WP:BIO good luck! Shellwood (talk) 19:23, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Sure. If I have more sources can I create the page Sabu James again? OruVattamKoodi (talk) 14:34, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, if the sources are considered reliable, see the links above for more information. I can see that the article was moved to the draftspace due to notability issues, that issue must also be addressed. Do you have any personal connections to Sabu James? Shellwood (talk) 17:14, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
 * No, Sabu James is the client of my company. He is a cinematographer, and he needs a Wikipedia page. How can I overcome the notability issues? OruVattamKoodi (talk) 18:39, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Ok so you do have a conflict of interest here, you need to disclose that, I can't help you anymore. Shellwood (talk) 20:05, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Okay. Actually, I am not being paid for contributions to Wikipedia. Then is there any problem to create the page? OruVattamKoodi (talk) 16:55, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Here is the issue: Sabu James is the client of my company and I now read that you have been asked before to disclose any conflict of interests on your talk page, which you have failed to do and to be honest at this point it's best just to drop the whole idea of creating any articles here.
