Hello! I just came back to answer you to see that I came a few minutes too late. As already written in the previous message, I agree deleting pages not meeting notability. I've copied the content of "Transition Dreams", "Induction" and "The Moat" (currently in draftspace, but I find nothing more to add to the article, so it can as well be deleted) this morning (and also deleted links from the article about Greg Egan as well as the template I created for his work) just in case there might be some changes to the current state in the future and I agree to have all three of them deleted.

However, I really don't agree with "The Safe-Deposit Box". Serving as inspiration for the pretty famous movie Your Name, it is among the most important stories in Egan's bibliography and should stay. I've expanded a review and added another one to support notability. With three reviews when two are required, that should be fulfilled now. I also intend to expand the article as unlike the other three, there might still be more to add as I've not yet searched through everything. Can I therefore revert your edit on the article? Samuel Adrian Antz (talk) 23:45, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While I can see the logical behind establishing an article's notability for inclusion in this encyclopedia, I think it a bit premature to delete the article immediately without giving editors time to make the required changes. A simple flag on the page questioning the notability allows editors the opportunity to edit it over time if required.

I think, in this case, it would be better to re-instate the original article, add a "notability flag" and then check back again in a few weeks' time to see if the page has been updated as requested. Perry Middlemiss (talk) 23:55, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Samuel Adrian Antz: Well, it's convenient, then, that blanking and redirecting can be easily reverted! As I mentioned in my edit summary, I'm open to allowing the article to develop if the subject's notability can be established, so I've made the revert. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 02:40, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On 26 September 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article List of accolades received by Joe Hisaishi, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the composer Joe Hisaishi has been awarded eight Japan Academy Film Prizes and nominated for eight more? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/List of accolades received by Joe Hisaishi. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, List of accolades received by Joe Hisaishi), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hiya! I'm the person who you might remember from the Ghibli Wiki discord who made her first edit. You recommended me to check out the Studio Ghibli Task Force, which I found interesting. The page said that I could add myself to the task force, but I have no clue on how to do it and the instructions seem very unclear. Could you maybe help me out with it, it would be so much appreciated! QueenLucita (talk) 17:16, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Danielle, glad to see that you're interested in contributing to the project! You'll need to insert a template with your name to join the task force; you can identify templates because they use curly brackets ({{) in the source code. Hit the edit button on § Participants and add this line at the bottom:

# {{User|QueenLucita}} 

I want to let you know that the Ghibli task force has been dormant for several years, so you can reach out if you need help and I'll do my best — there are also links to lots of resources on your talk page. If you prefer talking to people on Discord, there is a fairly active Wikimedia Community server with lots of experienced editors as well. Let me know if you have any questions! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 19:03, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On 28 September 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Jyocho, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the music of math rock band Jyocho has been alternatively described as akin to "madness" or "contemplative and melancholy"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Jyocho. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Jyocho), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi. I appreciate your review, it wasn't discouraging at all and I'm happy with the progress so far and will attempt to nominate it again when I implement your suggestions into the article. It is fortunate for me that I now have plenty of time to include the suggestions.

I've seen FAs and GAs list the distances between schools, shops, notable places, etc. A lot of this detail could be omitted. I also think listing bus services, local businesses, repeated detail is unencyclopedic, and should be removed to make the article less tiresome. Listing some information about local sporting clubs is OK and I know that Opawa does have some noted sporting connections. Ultimately, I will attempt to remove needless/unnecessary information which is unhelpful (and possibly boring to readers.)

One comment I was slightly confused about was about trams? I'd also like to note that this potentially could be removed because it's not really a notable topic unlike the railway.

Close paraphrasing and prose fixes will also need be resolved. I can now understand why using Christchurch City Council sources is not good and using reliable secondary sources are overwhelming preferred and will help it in GAN. Once again, thanks for the review and suggestions. Alexeyevitch^(talk) 10:13, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Alexeyevitch: I'm glad to see that you're taking the criticism constructively! I want to note that I was attempting to use examples in my comments that were illustrative of the issues I was seeing throughout the article, so while the things I mentioned definitely need to be addressed, try to keep your eyes open for where they might be cropping up elsewhere. On the trams, maybe I misjudged how important they are to the locality of Opawa in particular, but I mentioned it, again, just as an example of something that seemed to get very little mention when it had much more sourcing, while other things received entire paragraphs. Let me know if you have any other questions! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 15:39, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You may remember Maryvonne Le Dizès, my story today as on 28 August. Some September music was unusual: last compositions and eternal light, with Ligeti mentioned in story and music. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:26, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
