Hi, added fresh news from Estonian and Moldovan major information portals and TV. I did not use any advertising, but wrote an article based on facts and for each fact I indicated a link to news sites. Now a lot is written about the group in Moldova and Estonia, before that they regularly take part in the programs of Estonian Radio 4 and their tracks are played there. I wrote the article neutrally, since I write a lot of articles on Russian Wikipedia and always adhere to the rule of neutrality. Perhaps my English is bad, I will be grateful if you correct the text and approve the article. Please help me fix everything according to the rules and publish the article. added news from different countries about the band and singer Bacho, as well as a message that they were favorites. Is this enough for the criterion of significance and media coverage?Kodru (talk) 13:33, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

You recently added a notability tag to an article that was "under construction" and it had three reliable sources. Surely either of these would mean that a notability tag was superfluous? I guess it was an error so I removed it. Victuallers (talk) 10:31, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Victuallers: Well, it is not implied: it could be under construction and notable at the same time, which is not the case here: sourced doesn't mean notable. Besides trivial mentions, refs at Tusayiwe Mkhondya don't even appear to have significant coverage. In the end, the article subject does not appear to pass WP:BIO, which is required. Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 10:48, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Well we disagree. I believe that sourcing to reliable sources is de facto proof of notability. What else is there? NPP patrollers are asked to respect "under construction". If you would like to prove your point then nominating it for deletion should find out where the consensus lies. Usually however most nominators believe that "it could be under construction and notable at the same time" until they have done at least a few hour's research.

Kazakh-Nogai War

hello, I want you to redirect the article Kazakh-Nogai War (1535—1537), since this is not a war, but rather a series of small campaigns against each other. It so happened that they all fought against the Kazakhs. Онеми (talk) 15:42, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I was hoping for a link to a guideline or policy that supported editing in contravention of WP:G4, which is a policy. – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:02, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
