I plan on filling out all the Bivalve-related redlinks, and I do not want the might of these mollusks to fill the backlog. - RealGatba (talk) (contribs) 23:13, 19 July 2026 (UTC)

I have created over 40 articles which has reliable, independent sources (excluding an set index article) out of the 55 articles I created, primarily about US articles, including mostly factories, some vehicle models, and a few biographies such as Whirlpool Clyde plant, IC Bus CE Series, and J. Douglas Adams. I was still planning to continue contributing and creating new articles every week. My old request I requested it on June 28th of this year was not done because it has less than 25 articles. This is my second attempt to grant my autopatrolled rights.

@Thomasfan1916: I declined your request because of the several issues I identified, not because you had created less than 25 articles. I'm concerned that most of the manufacturing plants aren't notable. You seem to cite a combination of press releases and trivial coverage. Why is Adams notable? voorts (talk/contributions) 20:59, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

@Voorts: I think the notable, deceased person (non-BLP), J. Douglas Adams article has reliable, independent sources from these newspapers like Brentwood News, Contra Costa Times, and Brentwood Press. Thomasfan1916^{[built buses?]} 21:05, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

Brentwood News and Contra Costa Times are both owned by Media News Group. I'd count them as one source for notability purposes. This Brentwood Press piece is a eulogy by a colleague, not independent reporting. voorts (talk/contributions) 21:53, 20 July 2026 (UTC)
