Close of Articles for deletion/Yesterday (time)
@Bandit Heeler: Please do not revert closes on AfDs. The proper way to contest a close that you disagree with is to come to the closer's talk page (here) and discuss the close per WP:CLOSEAFD. voorts (talk/contributions) 01:16, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * To answer the point in your edit summary (my comment was not addressed): a closer is not required to set out a rationale in an AfD discussion. I closed the discussion as keep because there was clear consensus that this page does not fail DICDEF. Other editors pointed out that there is other information in the article that is not solely a DICDEF and that AfD is not for cleanup. I do not believe that this close would be overturned at WP:DRV, but feel free to bring it there if you believe this meets the criteria for a deletion review (the purpose section defines when DRV is appropriate). voorts (talk/contributions) 01:20, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * My apologies. There wasn't any disruptive intent with that - I'm still relatively new. Regardless, while I am aware of the keep votes, I don't feel that my comment was addressed at all. The 'keep' votes were not based in policy and were simply a variation of 'not a DICDEF'. I'd already countered the point about additional information, by stating that the additional information was minimal. I'm not going to pursue matters further, since consensus is clearly not in favour of my opinion, and I don't think this is a sufficiently important matter to escalate elsewhere. Bandit Heeler (talk) 01:22, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * No problem; I didn't believe that you were trying to be disruptive. Happy editing, voorts (talk/contributions) 01:25, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024
Hello ,

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

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

Congratulations on the shared Four Award with Tim O'Doherty! A rare and great achievement! I like the article a lot, and of course it's part of Wikipedia lore. — Bilorv ( talk ) 11:53, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
