IQ cunundrum

Dear sir,I do not believe that having 5 IQ and being able to use this site is possible, seeing as your age has been listed here as 18,I have decided to look into the average IQ of an 18 year old and I found it’s about 105 and I would assume you fall under these pretenses. If you were making a joke I did not find it funny and would kindly ask you correct this scientific inaccuracy. Thank you in advance. 49.186.62.155 (talk) 02:33, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

I just reverted the WP:G11 you placed on Waterside hot water hay pellet furnace. It really doesn't come close to qualifying for that criterion. Given your lack of experience on Wikipedia, I think you should stop tagging pages for deletion. Your judgment is not sufficiently developed to do so.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:28, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

Alright, thanks for letting me know. I did take a good long look at the speedy deletion policies and review the sources of the article, I was sitting there for a good 45 minutes trying to figure out whether the article's subject qualified as "significant" as per WP:SIGNIF. The reason I nominated the article under G11 was because reviewing the edit history revealed that the article was originally just copy-pasted from a news site and the original creator only made that one article in their entire time here. I focused my efforts on determining whether the article's subject could be classified as "significant" rather than notable because it didn't really fall under notable due to a lack of sustained media coverage, and after reviewing the sources, I came to the conclusion that there was no real claims of significance or importance around the subject.

Could you please tell me which part(s) I got wrong? I want to improve and learn from this, and feedback would be greatly appreciated. Sirocco745 (talk) 08:21, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

What website was the article copied from?--Bbb23 (talk) 13:02, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Cancel that, I was tired and wasn't thinking properly when I wrote that bit. While the very first version of the article had heavy copy-pasting from all four sources, there is obvious evidence that the original author didn't just copy-paste the entire thing.

With that aside, could you please tell me where I went wrong with my G11 nomination? What did I miss with the article's subject that disqualified it from a G11? Was there another speedy deletion criteria the article better met? Would an AfD have been a better alternative? A merge request with pellet heating? What could I have done better, and what did I miss in my judgement? Sirocco745 (talk) 09:11, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

You're conflating two many distinct concepts. G11 is for blatant, irredeemable promotion. AfD is for lack of notability, which requires an examination of the subject, the sourcing, the potential sourcing, etc. Tagging articles that have been around for a long time is a touchy business. It's far more common and generally easier to tag new articles. Again, it doesn't sound to me like you're ready for either.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:03, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
