Hi Ebe, welcome to your NPP tutorial!
 
Line 287 ⟶ 285:
I can think of a couple more circumstances, do you agree?
*It's an article about a technical topic like 13th century history, or engineering. The deletion discussion might attract experts who would know more about it, and could find sources that you or me couldn't find.
*:That seems good.
*An article that really shouldn't be on wikipedia for 7 days, but doesn't meet any of the CSD criteria either. For example, I found a BLP that had a couple of reliable sources (so I couldn't use the attack page speedy), but was really negative, basically a big collection of negative information about this person. If I'd PRODed it, it would have stayed on wikipedia for 7 days, but at AfD it got loads of delete votes and was deleted per [[WP:SNOW]] in 1 day.
*:Yeah, it seems good too.

==Break==
Phew, that was a long round. I'm really impressed by your progress.
 
I never asked, are you a guy or a girl? I'm a girl in my twenties.
:I am a guy.
 
:What studies are you doing?
::See if you can guess. There is a big clue. {{=)|tongue}}
 
Some reading before round 3 in a few days time - [[WP:BEFORE]], [[WP:ATD]], and [[Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions]]. Your challenge is to comment or vote in a few AfD discussions; try to write comments/votes that are useful and persuasive.
:I did lots today.
::Yeah I can see, your comments aren't bad and some of them are quite good. The purpose of the exercise is to get you to practise making really good arguments - remember the closing admin will give more weight to comments like "Delete: I searched for sources but couldn't find anything, doesn't meet [[WP:Notability (people)]]" or "Keep, here are some reliable sources I found: ...", and less weight to comments like "Keep, it's notable" or "Delete, per above." It's also good to link to relevant guidelines unless someone above you already has, so that new editors can understand what we're talking about.
::PS. I just saw your comment on [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Childproofing]], good work checking all the mirrors.
 
==Round 3==
Welcome back. Same instructions. Leaving unpatrolled, or asking someone, is (as always) fine. If you decide to PROD or AfD, please say exactly what you would write on the nomination.

:Note: The article exists already as Cabbage Ball and found because of PROD. The PROD said "Already deleted at least twice as unambiguous promotion; current article is basically the same content but slightly less promotional - still completely unreferenced and not far from a hoax."
:PROD for reason above

===How soon to patrol===
''People have different opinions on this topic, so feel free to disagree with me when we discuss it. Try to give detailed answers to 2 and 3.''
 
#How soon after they've been created do you usually patrol pages, Ebe?
#:Well, sometimes, its shortly after it was made, and other times, it is the back of the unpatrolled backlog.
#What are the advantages of patrolling from the back of the backlog? What are the problems?
#:The advantages is that there is less to do, but we like to do things.
#What are the advantages of patrolling pages created very recently? What are the problems?
#:The advantages are
#:#It is like the articles are seen only by you and the creator
#:#Tagging for PROD and CSD are rare in the backlog but not articles made recently.
#:The disavantages are
#:#The creator may get discouraged by tags
#:#The creator might get discouraged by PROD or CSD
#:#Not enough time to improve
