Phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship review has concluded. Several proposals have passed outright and will proceed to implementation, including creating a discussion-only period (3b) and administrator elections (13) on a trial basis. Other successful proposals, such as creating a reminder of civility norms (2), will undergo further refinement in Phase II. Proposals passed on a trial basis will be discussed in Phase II, after their trials conclude. Further details on specific proposals can be found in the full report.

Technical news

Arbitration

Requesting a copy of the draft for Bob Santos (trainer)[edit]

Hi, good day! Is it possible to get a copy of Bob Santos (trainer)'s deleted article for future resubmission? Thank you. Fhbenigs (talk) 15:12, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies, but because it was created by a blocked editor who was evading their block to create it, it is not possible to recover the old article. If there is to be one it will need to be cnewly created. I also suggest that you look into WP:PAID and WP:COI if you are being paid to create the article on someone's behalf. - 03:12, 17 May 2024 (UTC) Bilby (talk) 03:12, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Thank you for your quick response. I will then create a new article for Bob and definitely read the links you have included. So, if I create the article from scratch, is there a chance that the page will get accepted? Thank you. Fhbenigs (talk) 04:34, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I really cannot comment about whether or not a new article would be kept, as my only consideration before was that it was created by a blocked editor. To be clear, though, if you are being paid to create the article, you need to abide by the terms of WP:PAID, which will require you to disclose that you are being paid to write the article and who you are working for. - Bilby (talk) 02:26, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
