Note: I am working on a possible overhaul of the way NPP looks, as well as on the creation of a short overview for people who just want to know what NPP is and does, not the whole list of how to do it. See the NPP talkpage for more information. The Talkpage and New Pages Patrol School do link to their respective "live" counterparts, because I do not foresee a need to restructure these. The New Pages Patrol and NPP: A Short Overview tabs both link to pages in my sandbox. The creation of a noticeboard is still being discussed.

Welcome to NPP: A Short Overview!
New pages patrol, often abbreviated to NPP, is a process by which newly created articles are checked for obvious problems, such as:
- reasons for speedy deletion, especially (but not limited to) attack pages, obvious hoaxes and copyright violations;
- reasons for proposed deletion or nomination for deletion, such as wholly unsourced articles about living persons that do not fall under attack pages, articles that fail to meet the notability guidelines and redundant content forks and POV forks;
- reasons for moving the page, such as inappropriate titles, or titles that do not fit with the subject of the article;
- reasons for tagging the page by means of template messages, such as the article being a stub; a lack of (reliable, independent) references, lack of categories, absence of links from or towards other articles (orphans and dead-end pages), issues with formatting (such as use of HTML markup over wiki markup, the lack of a proper lead section as well as an unclear, messy, confusing or inconsistent citation style) and other such issues.
