different times of the day and it is a lot easier to do the review and deletion work in small groups throughout the course of a day or night than to do many articles all at once at the same time each day. I know it is a lot easier to do things in one fell swoop but speaking for myself, it's easier to handle 4-7 PROD'd articles every few hours than 12-15+ all at the same time. In fact, although your User page says you live in the EST time zone, you must keep your own working hours because I've seen your PROD'd articles at all hours of the day and night! Maybe a little insomnia? I use to suffer from that and came to Knowledge to work but I found it was actually stimulating, not sleep-inducing so I eventually stopped.

normal hours so I get on here whenever I can't sleep and do a little work. I am really trying to clean up the film/TV notability tags. At one time the films had 2000+ tagged, but now hover around 10-20. When I started the TV, they had about 1800, but now have less than 900. As you know, they have not all been removed through deletion...I improve what I am able to and remove the tag (or remove it if has already been addressed, but an editor forgot to remove the tag themselves.) Again, thanks again!

proposed deletion. We do have some editors who check out PRODs before they are deleted but it's just a thought that these articles can be made into redirects rather than deleted. You ever want to turn your PROD eye into clearing out some of the articles on obscure children's TV shows, cartoons, anime or their characters, I think you'd be doing the project a service! We have a lot of content that is more appropriate for Fandom than Knowledge. Thank you for your contributions.

because it has been PROD'd before. You might be surprised by the fact that many editors never look at the page history to see if an article has been PROD'd before. So, thanks again for checking and double-checking articles you tag for deletion to ensure that all of the i's are dotted and the t's are crossed. It makes things much easier for admins who review the daily PRODs to know that I don't need to devote extra scrutiny to the ones you tag. Have a great 2023!

Deletion, it would save other editors' time from having to do this themselves. This would especially help out relieving the burden from other editors when you go on a mass-tagging spree with a dozen or more articles that have to be Redirected. Thank you for considering taking a different approach to handing these non-notable album articles.
534:
Just letting you know that the rules around BLPPROD are a bit counter-intuitive. If it has any sort of external link, including authority control, the BLPPROD is invalid. In cases like this a regular PROD might be necessary. With that said, I reiterate the messages above thanking you for your work in

is a script that most editors who "Draftify" articles use because it not only moves the article but it also posts a notification for you. I recommend it. Again, a very handy tool. And, if you like, both the Draftify script and Twinkle will keep logs if you want, to keep track of pages you have worked

If you want to move pages around from main space to Draft space, there are a few things you need to do to help out your fellow editors. First, please tag the original page for speedy deletion, CSD R2 so that the page is brought to admins' attention and doesn't get forgotten. It should be deleted as a

Rather than PROD'ding a dozen album articles, please consider changing them to Redirects to the artist's article. That is usually what happens with these tagged-articles but it is other editors taking care of it for you. If you could just redirect them yourself, rather than tagging them for Proposed

I don't think there is a place for it on Knowledge. I, also, couldn't find anything to establish it existed. It's a redirect to the man, so I think it is fine. The only other option would be to have the redirect deleted and salted so that it cannot be recreated, but is it worth the effort? Hope this

I've recently been looking for editors to invite to join the new page reviewing team, and after reviewing your editing history, I think you would be a good candidate. Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Knowledge policies and guidelines; the new

You might also consider archiving your talk page rather than deleting messages. I thought you hadn't received any talk page messages for months until I looked into the page history. Archiving is easy and allows you to quickly find messages from the past to see if you had had contact with an editor

I came to leave you a message and found that I already did months ago. Instead of PRODding albums, please consider redirecting them to the artist's article. I just did that with about 5 or 6 articles you PROD'd and there are more than will receive that treatment tomorrow. It would be easier if you

Thank you for your kind words. I do spread them out throughout the day, mainly because I do make my own work hours, but also because it takes time to research and vet the articles before nomination (even though I have one or two users who regularly claim I don't do BEFORE). And, yes, I don't sleep

to see what other editors think are films which aren't really up to have their own pages. I usually do a BEFORE to see if I can save them, and there are quite a lot I come across where I find enough citations that I then add to an article and then remove the notability tag. The ones I can't find

I see now that I already have left a message for you earlier in 2022 about the PRODs you do but I just wanted to compliment you again on your Proposed Deletion work. It is clear that you always check out the page history thoroughly, I have never had to remove a PROD tag from an article you PROD'd
386: 336:
Tracking down references to improve articles is better than deleting them so, bravo! I think that would be a challenge since most of the movies I see tagged are international ones and you'd be evaluating reviews in newspapers in non-English speaking countries. Working on Knowledge makes me wish I

I see you have moved on from tagging obscure foreign movies for proposed deletion to tagging obscure album recordings. I've noticed that most of these PROD'd articles are challenged and are turned into redirects to the artist's article. You might consider doing this rather than tagging them for

I'll just add to this message instead of starting a new section on your talk page since it is also about your PROD work. I just wanted to say that I appreciate you PROD'ding small groups of articles at different times over the 24 hour clock. Different administrators "patrol" the PROD list at

as I check it over the course of a day and I just wanted to thank you for tracking down and tagging for proposed deletion some truly marginal films that have been made. I don't know how you find these articles but I don't think their deletion is a big loss for the project. I also help out at

Any way, thank you for your consistent efforts to clean up our film and TV series areas of the project. If you ever wanted to review children's TV shows, I think we have a lot of dead wood there as well as we seem to have had a fair number of editors creating articles on obscure children's

The short Argentine film stubs can be deleted, I never got around to filling them out. They can be restarted at a later date when somebody is willing to do it. German TV series and rivers too, a few thousand there in total. Feel free to prod as many as you want just don't template me. :-)†

It would help reviewing administrators if, when you remove a PROD tag, you state this in your edit summary (something like "de-PROD" or "removing PROD tag"). It just helps to see which edit has done this when we are scanning over a page history. Thank you!
