Challaghatta metro station
Hi @Timothytyy. The point I'm making in the Articles for deletion/Challaghatta metro station is that you seem (well, that's how it's coming over to me) to be holding this metro station and Benniganahalli to a higher level of sourcing required to pass the GNG than with the Yuyuan station (Shenzhen Metro) article you helped improve. I'm tempted to put that article up for AfD. You dismiss most of the Challaghatta sources as being about the line, not the station. The first source in Yuyuan is about the line with a single sentence on the station. The second and third sources have duplicate wording in translation, again mostly covering the line but with three sentences on the station. I don't think you should have removed the notability template because no attempt has been made to address the concerns I have with notability of that article. I don't begrudge your putting up the AfDs as both articles have been expanded to benefit the encyclopedia. What I'm having trouble with is apparent inconsistency i.e. why you see Yuyuan as notable and not the expanded Bangalore metro station articles. Rupples (talk) 02:08, 5 November 2023 (UTC)


 * The purpose of an AfD is to try to seek improvement if it can be made. I apreciate your efforts in expanding the article. You added two or three sources that provides some degree of individual coverage.The problem is you try to link to other articles about the notability without providing any guidelines. Anyway, after the improvements, I would not oppose closing this as NC just like the other one. Please try to expand other Indian metro articles if you can because a lot of them lack individual content and coverage. Thank you. Timothytyy (talk) 08:10, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Ok. Thanks. Rupples (talk) 14:11, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer granted
Hi Timothytyy. Your account has been added to the " " user group. Please check back at the permissions page in case your user right is time-limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page or ask via the NPP Discord. In addition, please remember:
 * Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging  pages for maintenance so that  they are aware.
 * You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
 * If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
 * Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page, including checking for copyright violations using Earwig's copyright violation detector, checking for duplicate articles, and evaluating sources (both in the article, and if needed, via a Google search) for compliance with the general notability guideline.
 * Please review some of our flowcharts (1, 2) to help ensure you don't forget any steps.
 * Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. If you can read any languages other than English, please add yourself to the list of new page reviewers with language proficiencies. —&#8239; The Earwig (talk) 08:44, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

Users who are consistently making some disruptive editing
Hi Timothytyy,, could you help me to check this two user: Alfrzi and 222.154.93.245. They are consistently making some disruptive editing.. all i can do is revert their edits, and give some warning. I hope you can help for the next step.. Thanks. Stvbastian (talk) 00:13, 26 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Will keep an eye on them, thanks for the alert!
 * P.S. Next time you can use friendlier words than "stupidity" to the new users. Keep up your anti-disruption work! Timothytyy (talk) 04:19, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

Prods
Hello Timothytyy -- Just a note to say that prods can be objected to on any ground or none, there is no concept of a "valid reason" to object. Online sources on the open web are not necessary and simple searches in Google for sources are almost never enough to show that notability is absent, especially where the subject is not English. Espresso Addict (talk) 19:02, 26 November 2023 (UTC)


 * If a search in Chinese doesn't turn up anything, then? Also, thanks for your reminder, just finished reading WP:DEPROD. Next time, I hope you can really look into the coverage before hastily deprodding everything without responding to the issues raised. Thank you very much.
