Can you please not alert me of a PROD or article deletion again, I barely visit this site nowadays let alone have time to waste on trying to save articles that deletionists have made up their mind aren't notable anyway. Thankyou.† Encyclopædius 16:57, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
The short Argentine film stubs can be deleted, I never got around to filling them out. They can be restarted at a later date when somebody is willing to do it. German TV series and rivers too, a few thousand there in total. Feel free to prod as many as you want just don't template me. :-)† Encyclopædius 18:26, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

films in series
Thank you for quality articles about films in series per actors, beginning with Fight for Life (film) in 2006, Artists and Models, Bowery Buckaroos, Max Rose (film) and Method to the Madness of Jerry Lewis, for updating and guarding related articles, for "it is helpful for gathering quick information without searching the article for it", - Donald, you are an awesome Wikipedian!

For your magnificent work, unbiased votes and research for citations at film-related AfDs (or you could have literally reviewed every single AfD out there in general but I would not even notice it). Keep up the good work! Anonymous 7481 (talk) 21:11, 5 July 2021 (UTC) |
Hello, Donaldd23,
If you want to move pages around from main space to Draft space, there are a few things you need to do to help out your fellow editors. First, please tag the original page for speedy deletion, CSD R2 so that the page is brought to admins' attention and doesn't get forgotten. It should be deleted as a cross-namespace redirect from main space. Twinkle is an excellent tool to use any time you want to tag pages for any type of deletion (CSD, PROD, AFD/RFD/TFD/etc.) or just to indicate problems in an article by tagging a section. It's a very helpful tool for editors.
Also, you need to post a notification on the talk page of the page creator. And there is another tool here that can help you out! User:Evad37/MoveToDraft is a script that most editors who "Draftify" articles use because it not only moves the article but it also posts a notification for you. I recommend it. Again, a very handy tool. And, if you like, both the Draftify script and Twinkle will keep logs if you want, to keep track of pages you have worked on. Thank you for your work. Liz Read!

Hello, Donaldd23,
I run into your work regularly at the daily PROD list as I check it over the course of a day and I just wanted to thank you for tracking down and tagging for proposed deletion some truly marginal films that have been made. I don't know how you find these articles but I don't think their deletion is a big loss for the project. I also help out at WP:REFUND a bit and I haven't seen an editor come back and contest their deletion which can happen with some PRODs (especially those about companies). Any way, thanks for helping clean things up. Liz Read! Talk! 18:56, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

For making Wikipedia what it is supposed to be: full of sourced articles. :) DareshMohan (talk) 03:52, 11 September 2022 (UTC) |
Some misused PRODs could be changed to WP:G7s, rather than simply removed.
I saw one recently where you correctly de-PRODded a draft, however, since it had been PRODded by the original creator and only substantial contributor, it might have been more suitable to swap it for a {{g7}} (and possibly let the user know that you did so). Just something to keep an eye out for, cheerio. Mako001 (C) (T) 🇺🇦 11:13, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
Hello, Donaldd23,
I see now that I already have left a message for you earlier in 2022 about the PRODs you do but I just wanted to compliment you again on your Proposed Deletion work. It is clear that you always check out the page history thoroughly, I have never had to remove a PROD tag from an article you PROD'd because it has been PROD'd before. You might be surprised by the fact that many editors never look at the page history to see if an article has been PROD'd before. So, thanks again for checking and double-checking articles you tag for deletion to ensure that all of the i's are dotted and the t's are crossed. It makes things much easier for admins who review the daily PRODs to know that I don't need to devote extra scrutiny to the ones you tag. Have a great 2023! Liz Read! Talk! 03:37, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
Just letting you know that the rules around BLPPROD are a bit counter-intuitive. If it has any sort of external link, including authority control, the BLPPROD is invalid. In cases like this a regular PROD might be necessary. With that said, I reiterate the messages above thanking you for your work in this area. I'm trying to revive WP:Unreferenced BLP rescue and source or delete all of the unreferenced BLPs, but they just never end! Thebiguglyalien (talk) 14:08, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
Hello, Donaldd23,
I see you have moved on from tagging obscure foreign movies for proposed deletion to tagging obscure album recordings. I've noticed that most of these PROD'd articles are challenged and are turned into redirects to the artist's article. You might consider doing this rather than tagging them for proposed deletion. We do have some editors who check out PRODs before they are deleted but it's just a thought that these articles can be made into redirects rather than deleted. You ever want to turn your PROD eye into clearing out some of the articles on obscure children's TV shows, cartoons, anime or their characters, I think you'd be doing the project a service! We have a lot of content that is more appropriate for Fandom than Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. Liz Read! Talk! 06:22, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
I appreciate and respect your withdrawing your deleting nomination at:
Too many editors see AfDs as a test of wills. It's refreshing to see you and editor Cunard instead approach it as a thoughtful quest for a better encyclopaedia.

Hi Donaldd23, I've recently been looking for editors to invite to join the new page reviewing team, and after reviewing your editing history, I think you would be a good candidate. Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; the new page reviewing team needs help from experienced users like yourself. Would you please consider becoming a New Page Reviewer? Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision (if it looks daunting, don't worry, most pages are easy to review, and habits are quick to develop). If this looks like something that you can do, please consider joining us. If you choose to apply, you can drop an application over at WP:PERM/NPR. If you have questions, please feel free to drop a message on my talk page or at the reviewer's discussion board. Cheers, and hope to see you around, ❯❯❯ Raydann(Talk) 16:34, 11 December 2023 (UTC) |

On 2 March 2024, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Richard H. Truly, which you updated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. PFHLai (talk) 18:13, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
What's your take on Shep Unplugged? Last time around, discussion on the redirect just went around in circles and I think was clouded by my more tendentious attitude. Since then, the only sources even remotely claiming it existed have gone down, and nothing exists but Wikipedia mirrors. I still maintain this was a WP:HOAX perpetrated by a singular personal blog (which was cited in the RFD as "proof" it existed). Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 22:41, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Donaldd23,
Rather than PROD'ding a dozen album articles, please consider changing them to Redirects to the artist's article. That is usually what happens with these tagged-articles but it is other editors taking care of it for you. If you could just redirect them yourself, rather than tagging them for Proposed Deletion, it would save other editors' time from having to do this themselves. This would especially help out relieving the burden from other editors when you go on a mass-tagging spree with a dozen or more articles that have to be Redirected. Thank you for considering taking a different approach to handing these non-notable album articles. Liz Read! Talk! 22:20, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
Your redirecting of the above article was clearly warranted given the minimal sourcing. However, the song and album played an important role in the later career of Kitty Wells, the queen of country music. I have now expanded the article with more extensive sourcing and with dual focus on both the song and the album. I hope the expansion addresses your concerns.
