I mean genuine not genius sorry for the typo

thanks HowDareYouu (talk) 11:56, 19 January 2025 (UTC)

I did review the article in Urdu and Sindhi and there was only one source. I do agree that is difficult to research an article in a different language, so thank you for helping. I feel that none of the "claims" to notability (including the ones above) meet our criteria. That being said, I am not familiar with this topic, so if you could please review this guideline and show through sources that the subject of the article meets those criteria, I would really appreciate it. All the best, Griff (talk) 18:35, 19 January 2025 (UTC)

Thanks, Lori. I think you might have a small formatting issue in your template post, but otherwise, this looks like a fantastic study. Please let me know if I can provide any additional support. Griff (talk) 15:31, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

Sockpuppet

I think Special:Contribs/Allahthemto is a sockpuppet of the previous users that were blocked for creating JFO Star ([1]). Can you block them, or do you think this requires another checkuser inquiry? Tuscan Ant (talk) 19:18, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

You are welcome to report them to RFCU, but I have blocked the account and deleted the page. Thanks for reaching out, Griff (talk) 19:20, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

If they're blocked, I don't see a reason to report them to RFCU. Thanks. Tuscan Ant (talk) 19:21, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

PBS Kids Sprout

Hey Griff, Hope you're well,

Thank you for redirecting and protecting PBS Kids Sprout however I'm really going to be that awkward person - I don't agree with the IPs edits staying as they'll see it as "we can create fake pages and the content will stay there forever now xD" and I very much disagree with that,

It's basically setting a precedent and yeah I very much disagree with that, If it gets deleted and protected = it's a lose=lose for the IP :), Thanks, Warm Regards, –Davey2010^Talk 20:26, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

Of course you are going to be that awkward person :D I followed enWP's example in determining the best course of action. While I agree with your comments (and trust me, I am a huge fan of DENY), by leaving it visible, it provides a future Wikipedian in 20 years some context as to why it is protected and redirected. If it is deleted, there is no such history to look back to. Griff (talk) 20:29, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

Haha it wouldn't be a normal day if I wasn't awkward one way or another :P, Yeah that makes sense to be honest, I still disagree... just a huge 1% less than I did before I wrote the above message lol, I get it, get why and agree with you ... but at the same time I'm pissed off it can't just be deleted lol. Meh thanks for replying and for making me better understand why (kinda :)), Take care my friend, Warm Regards, –Davey2010^Talk 20:52, 23 January 2025 (UTC)
