Draft:Arman Guman[edit]
Hi, thanks for restoring the 2020 AfC templates at that draft: they were oddly added to the recreated draft a minute after SPA account creation, but I don't see any evidence of sockpuppetry yet. But I should have mentioned their removal in my edit summary. Wikishovel (talk) 09:03, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hey @Wikishovel, I'm usually one to give large amounts of WP:AGF in draft, but recreation of a rejected article with templates of a very un-notable subject shouts socking to me. It may just be that they lost the login details for The official Arman Guman but I can't see it being anyone but the subject trying to self promote again. As the dead source https://www.stichtingrechtsbescherming.nl/ says "back online no later than April 23, 2024" this is clearly linked to a change in activity. I would G11, but I think that would just be recreated again. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 09:20, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
The Soul of Anna Klane[edit]
Hello. Thank you for reviewing my submission for The Soul of Anna Klane. You noted that the book might not meet Wikipedia's notability requirements. I would like to highlight that (a) there are two whole chapters (!) dedicated to this book in The Mind's I, an important philosophy book in its own right; and (b) there was a short film produced based on a chapter from this book. I believe these two facts mark the book as notable.
There were at least four different prints of this book, by at least two different publishers (in the US by Coward, McCann & Geoghegan, and imprint of G.P. Putnam's Sons; and in the UK by New English Library). See here: https://www.google.co.il/books/edition/The_Soul_of_Anna_Klane/cegLOQAACAAJ?hl=en
Prior to being dealt with in detail by Hofstadter and Dennett (in The Mind's I), the book was not highly known; so there are few reviews of the book available. It was however reviewed briefly, at the time of publication, by Kirkus Review (referenced in the article). Tal Cohen (talk) 13:02, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Found out that it was also reviewed by the NY Times in 1977, and added that to the article. Tal Cohen (talk) 13:52, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Tal Cohen, please note that the decline is that the sources did not show it met Wikipedia's notability requirements not that it was not notable. The "New Media Film Festival" is a blog which are generally not considered reliable sources and it does not mention the subject or Miedaner anyway so does not verify the claim. I looked for another source but could not find any. Being mentioned in the NY Times is good, pity it's not a bit longer review. Unfortunately I don't have access to "The Mind's I" so I just have to take your word on that. However with the NY Times review it does show border-line notability. I think I can find another source... I'll post a comment on the draft if I do. If you can find another source for the film that would help as IMDB is bad enough, but a random review/comment on it is definitely not valid. Add any more you can find and then resubmit for review. I would certainly not decline in it's current state, but without a bit more I would leave for another as it's not my primary area of work. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 15:11, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Well, it turns out that the film competed in the Cannes festival in 1995, so we have that as a source (although the page is not really detail-rich, and does not include writing credits beyond "screenplay"...). Added to the article. Tal Cohen (talk) 18:42, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Re: access to The Mind's I, you can find an online copy on the internet archive: https://archive.org/details/mindsi00doug/page/n5/mode/2up . Page 6 of the Preview shows the Contents, and chapters 7 and 8 listed there are both by Terrel Miedaner -- these are excerpts from The Soul of Anna Klane.
- The short film The Beast is available on YouTube, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51Y_iIyDVqo . The credit for Miedanar and the book appears in the end credits, starting at 10m30s, where it says: "Adapted from the novel "THE SOUL OF ANNA KLANE" written by TERREL MIEDANER". Sadly this is a very low quality copy. I wonder if it would make sense to include a slide from this credit roll as an image on the page, under fair-use. Tal Cohen (talk) 09:30, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Tal Cohen I've updated the draft for the first link and although I've not seen it done before I think a screen grab would be fair-use and a good idea. It is low quality but it's good enough, nice find. I think with the newspaper sources this is clearly enough for notability. I would sort it out now but I'm dealing with some real-world issue and exhausted. I'll leave it to you to update and resubmit but I'll try to remember to check back at the weekend when I hope to have more time. Good job with pushing on and improving things it's always a joy to see (rather than the more normal give up or just resubmit with no improvement). Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 18:30, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. We have a chicken-and-egg problem here: the upload page refuses to allow me to upload a file unless it is linked to an actual, published article. So, I'll be able to upload the frame only after the article is published. Resubmitting the article now, hoping you'll approve, and I'll follow up by uploading the frame.

Reviewer approval[edit]
Hey KylieTastic. I'm planning on submitting an application to WP:AFC/P. I had submitted an application previously, but I had no experience at the time. I now feel ready, but I still can't assure that. I came to you because you seem to be a professional at reviewing, as you've reviewed a few of my articles previously. Could you check my stats (xtools, pages made, logs, afd, contributions) and tell me if you think my work and experience could get my application accepted? I'd only be working in WP:VG. Awaiting your response, MKsLifeInANutshell (talk) 17:30, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @MKsLifeInANutshell, well per WP:AFC/P criteria: you have an account much older than required; double the minimum edits (although I personally think this is a very low); 23 articles created with only 3 deleted shows a fair understanding of the criteria; you have only 18 AfD !votes but that is more than others have been accepted with and a reasonable consensus match rate. Your current talk page looks very promising but the history is worrying due to removal of just negative items, while allowed, is a concern and I would recommend just setting up a standard archive. The fact that the last two reviews were declines is not good, but tbh it looks like it may be notable (I'm too tired to delve deep). In the end it's up to the admins and you have a lot of the basic requirements but I would say maybe wait until more of your AfD !votes have been closed and if you can push Draft:Masquerade: The Baubles of Doom through to acceptance that would probably help. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 18:19, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for replying @KylieTastic, I mean, I understand why you think my edits are low, you have the '250,000 Edits Award.' I had talked to another user previously, he said I could remove them, but If you think I should archive them, I'll do it. I will wait for my AfD !votes to close and for another reviewer's thoughts. Thank you for your comments. Sincerely, MKsLifeInANutshell (talk) 04:19, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hey @MKsLifeInANutshell yup I have edited way too much... maybe I'll retire when I hit 500,000. You certainly can remove such messages and liking a wall of green and positive messages is understandable. I mention it only in the context of wanting to be a reviewer just after having two declines for the area you said you want to work is a negative on a generally positive history. Maybe ask at WT:VG for help/advice on that draft and either get it to main-space or understand why others don't think it shows notability yet. It looks like your creating the AfDs manually and I see no speedy log.... I would recommend enabling Wikipedia:Twinkle, it makes doing tasks like AfD, CSD, maintenance tagging, welcoming all much easier. It also looks like you did the AfD sorting manually so see User:Enterprisey/delsort for a helpful script. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 09:06, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
