== Article for review == |
|||
Hello, firstly I would to appreciate your contributions, its great and you make Wiki amazing. |
|||
So in January I created [[Mudiwa Hood]] article, he is a prominent artists from Zimbabwe with the most awards here so I thought let me research and write about him in the encyclopedia. However on the contributors moved the article from mainspace for several concerns, [[Draft:Mudiwa Hood]]. |
|||
Over the past months on and off I managed to improve the article. I worked it to avoid [[WP:CITEKILL]], proved more to show that Mudiwa Hood meets [[WP:NMUSIC]] and also removed other less important citations to ensure there is no [[WP:BOMBARD]] as suggested before. |
|||
Properly arranged important awards and removed less important. Also worked on the tone of article in its presentation as an encyclopedia page. |
|||
I think the article is better and ready for mainspace so can you kindly look in to it for a possible review. |
|||
Thank you, kind regards |

Recreating "New IP"
Hello. Some time last year I created a stub on the "New IP" Internet protocol proposed by Huawei. You moved the article to draft space and it expired. Meanwhile there are over fifty pages linking to "New IP" because it is part of the Huawei template. I just went to recreate the article and was advised "A page with this title has previously been moved or deleted... If you are recreating a page similar to the previously deleted page, or are unsure, please first contact the user(s) who performed the action(s) listed below." That's you... I want to make a stub linking at least to the Financial Times article on New IP[1], will this be enough to avoid the same thing from happening again? Mporter (talk) 07:46, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Mporter. I don't remember the article but the usual reason for sending an article to draft is for being unreferenced. There's no reason why you can't recreate the article, but it does need to be referenced. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 16:52, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
Hello John B123 Sir, Kindly review the subject draft. Thanks and regards RV (talk) 13:49, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
- Hi RV. Individual schools aren't normally notable but I think in this case the unique architecture makes it so. You might want to expand the architecture section to put the notability beyond doubt of others. --John B123 (talk) 17:05, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

- Hi RV, because of copyright you can't just take an image from Google and upload it here. You need to have taken the picture yourself, get the copyright holders permission or find one that's in the public domain. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 15:58, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

RD1 request
Thanks for identifying the need for RD1 at Ehsan Matoori. I was originally going to gently point out that you did not identify the source URL, but when I cleared out the revdel notice, I see there are two URLs listed. I'm not quite sure what happened. I was able to figure out the sources by looking at the edit summaries, and it is clear you intended to include them but something went wrong. Oddly, while I've processed thousands of such requests I've never created one myself so I'm not quite sure how to fill out the template. This one is now complete so there is nothing to be done on this one, but if you make any such reports in the future I urge you to look at the resulting template on the article page to see if it identifies the URL of the source material.--S Philbrick(Talk) 18:30, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
- Hi S Philbrick. As far as I remember this is the first time I've added multiple urls to a {{Copyvio-revdel}}. I did include 3 urls
|url1=
,|url2=
and|url3=
. Unlike other templates, it seems {{Copyvio-revdel}} doesn't support|url1=
and you have to use|url=
. Presumably without|url=
,|url2=
and|url3=
are ignored. We live and learn and I'll bear that in mind in the future. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 18:46, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

Ouch! You've used a template to send a message to an experienced editor. Please review the essay Wikipedia:Don't template the regulars or maybe listen to a little advice. Doesn't this feel cold, impersonal, and canned? It's meant in good humour. Best wishes. John B123 (talk) 18:32, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
- So you are regular and I am not? Because you used a "Welcome to Wikipedia."-template while I have been here for years. I am dissapointed about the way you are working, you should just admitt you faults and move on. Mamayuco (talk) 18:44, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

Judo in Canada
Hello. You recently tagged a couple of articles that I created regarding prominent Canadian judoka (Hiroshi Nakamura (judoka) and Raymond Damblant) for having just one source. That source, however, is the second edition of Judoka, the official history and high-level records of Judo in Canada, published on behalf of Judo Canada, which means that it is not only reliable but authoritative on this subject. I've added a few other sources that simply repeat the same information, but if you see that book referenced again in the future, I hope that you'll consider that it is equivalent to official records posted to Judo Canada's website. It's not enough to support a full article, obviously, but I think that it is an adequate starting point for a stub. – CanadianJudoka (talk) 19:32, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
- Hi CanadianJudoka, although I'm not an expert on Canadian Judo, I've no reason to question your comments above. Keeping to sports, in other sports the governing body may not so reliable so there is a general principle that articles should have more than one source. Although not a view I share, other editors may argue that the governing body is a primary source and the article needs secondary sources. For future articles it might be advisable to add multiple sources to avoid any possible fuss even though those other sources just reflect what Judo Canada are saying. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 20:20, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
Speedy delete of Tree shaping methods
Thanks for the notice. I was wondering what is your rationale for submitting Tree shaping methods for speedy delete. Blackash (talk) 21:56, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
- Just figured out the tag I think. It's about a copyright issue correct? I did address it the way you linked it on my talk page. Were there any other issues? Blackash (talk) 22:16, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Blackash, the tagging was an error on my part, apologies for that. The article is fine. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 06:10, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
- Hi, Thanks for that. If I'd paused to reread your comment on my talk I would have got the part about copyright. LOL I saw speedy delete, my brain when into how do I respond. The mind just forgot what it had just read! So sorry about all the chatter. It was clear in your comment. Blackash (talk) 19:45, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Blackash, the tagging was an error on my part, apologies for that. The article is fine. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 06:10, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
Hi
How are you? I would like to know does Wikipedia allow to create article for any football fan clubs? Thanks you. Much regard. III69 (talk) 10:58, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
- Hi III69, I'm good thanks, hope you are too. There's nothing to stop you creating an article for a football fan club provided it meets the notability requirements. See WP:GNG and WP:NORG for more details on notability. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 15:09, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

- Hi Champion's BOSS. I assume this is about 2021–22 Chennaiyin FC season? Wikipedia and Facebook are not reliable sources, so you need to add some more references from reliable independent sources. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 16:20, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

Request
Boss good morning. I have created another one 2021–22 Rahmatganj MFS season. Please beginning to review? Love and regard forever. III69 (talk) 09:44, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
- Hi III69, I see the page has been nominated for deletion. Although you have provided 11 references, they refer to the 2021 not the 2012/22 season. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 10:17, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
So plan? III69 (talk) 10:19, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
- Hi III69, you need to add some references relating to Rahmatganj in the 2021/2 season. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 10:36, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
John B123, thanks for checking the new article. I believe that everything in the article can be verified from the sources given; what it needs is more sources (as suggested on the talk page) to build it into a better article. But perhaps that amounts to the same thing. Cheers.--Verbarson (talk) 22:08, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Verbarson. The article read as if the references only applied to the second paragraph. I've altered it now so it's clear they apply to both paragraphs. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 22:16, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
- That makes sense. Originally it was all one paragraph, which I split for 'readability' (aka making it look a bit more substantial); I didn't think about the impact on the refs.Thanks.--Verbarson (talk) 22:29, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
tagging
When an article is already labeled as a stub, tagging it as needing more is redundant. GWFrog (talk) 04:06, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- @GWFrog: Where an article has unreferenced content it is appropriate to tag it with {{refimprove}}, whether it is a stub or not isn't relevant. Being a stub doesn't exempt the article from complying with the guidelines such as WP:VERIFY. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 06:16, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
New Article
@John B123 Hello again,
I hope you remember me :) You had reviewed my airport articles last year. As you might have seen on my user page that I have created several reviewed airport articles, but I recently entered into tech articles too, by creating Comparison of OnePlus TVs. But unfortunately it has not been reviewed yet.
If you can just check it out once, it'll be great :)
Thanks YashPratap1912(CONT.) 13:53, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- Hi YashPratap, hope you are well. Tech articles aren't really my area of expertise but it looks ok to me. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 16:11, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you John!
- I'm planning on expanding stub tech articles now - and finishing all requested International airport articles on Wikipedia:WikiProject Airports.

Interfront
When can I remove the stub-mark on the article Interfront of the Donbass? I've got already 10 different sources. -- Derim Hunt 09:19, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Derim Hunt, stub is an indication of the size of the article not how many sources it has. I note the article has been expanded since I tagged it so I can see no reason why the tag can't be removed now. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 07:24, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
- Okay, I removed it. Thanks! -- Derim Hunt 10:50, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

Proposed deletion
John B123, I know you are super busy. I wonder if you could still stop by and share your thoughts: Gold Lake (King County, Washington) has been proposed for deletion; I felt it has merits to remain. Your input, either way, will be greatly valued. Until then, Fimbriata (talk) 15:40, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Fimbriata. When an article is proposed for WP:AfD, how well or badly an article has been written isn't relevant, it's the potential of the subject is considered. WP:PROD works in a different way and is based on the article as it is now, not how it could be. Looking at the article when the PROD was added, I can understand where the editor who added the tag was coming from. Now that you have expanded and improved the article, the concerns in the PROD have been addressed so removing the tag is appropriate. The article seems to me to meet WP:GEOLAND and WP:GNG now. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 16:00, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
- Brilliant!! So grateful ... Fimbriata (talk) 16:54, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
Italy at JSF page
Hi!
I get a notification, that you added the tag, that this page is unreferenced (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italy_in_the_Jeux_sans_fronti%C3%A8res). I collected all infos from this website: http://www.jsf.hiddentigerbooks.co.uk/ and putted together this page. (I will make pages for the other nations as well). Could you tell me, how I could make it referenced? As I have no idea how add this site as a reference. I need to add this as info for the table, or under the whole wiki page?
Thanks in advance: hph01 — Preceding undated comment added 17:53, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
UI: Also some episodes are up at Youtube, but Youtube is not welcomed as source that much here...
- Hi hph01, see Help:Referencing for beginners for how to add references. You need to add references to the pages that give information not just the home page of the site. For example, 1965 would be referenced by Series Guide 1965. You can add the links to YouTube in an External links section but not as references. Regards --John B123 (talk) 18:07, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
norton 650ss
Could you take a look at the content and syntax with wikilink of the 'Development' section which implies in the fourth paragraph the 600ss had downdraught carbs. I had to check as it's been a long time! Thx.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 01:20, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Rocknrollmancer, you're right, the 99SS didn't have the downdraught head. Not sure the 99SS was a development of the Manxman either, although it did use the same cam,
the head was based on the 88 Domiracer head used at the IOM. There's several other parts of the article that need changing too; Bracebridge Street closed in 1963 so most of the production was at Woolwich/Plumstead, the slimline frame was introduced 2 years before not as implied for the 650SS, etc.
- There was also a single carb version, the 650 Standard, in 62/63 that isn't mentioned. I was going to create an article for the Manxman and then update the 650SS article. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 07:26, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
- Thx - I have a dated advert for the 'new' slimline frame saved somewhere on my old computer. I was also uncomfortable in seeing the works F750 fairings were produced by Avon, considering they went bust by 1970. The main man went it alone with the help of his friends, the Rickman Brothers, at their premises post-Avon, producing their continuing requirements, then moved on allowing their own staff to continue production, then he produced a new range for Paul Dunstall by 1973. Writing this from memory but helped Ken Craven out after a fire circa 1976, and by 1979 was producing caravans - Bessacar. rgds--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 22:15, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Rocknrollmancer, I know little of Avon's history. I thought they were still going in the early/mid 70s, when I worked at Pride and Clarkes in Brixton in 74 they were still selling Avon fairings, but possibly they were old stock. Looking on line didn't help. This article[2] says Avon, or Michenall’s Reinforced Plastics, continued until the mid-80s. Confusingly the article, which is dated 2014, says 'Today the company employs about 150 men', but I think the first page is a reproduction of an earlier article, the photograph looks like it was taken in the 60s. This article on the NOC site about the Interpol[3] (More Fairings sections) talks of a later fairing made by "CLP, the makers of Avon fairings".

- Thanks for those bits; I recognise the 'CLP' but don't associate it with anything particular - I'll add it to my list. The 1980s pic of what is clearly a lorry garage I've never seen before, and can't find the adjacent houses after a quick look. Thought I was going mad - I have Larkhill Rd, probably in one of the big sheds at the rear (not a very good view of the site looking either side). Looks like Doug Mitchenall on left stooping, and with the olde worlde handlebar fairings on the right, I'd agree 1960s. Looks like bath panels in the foreground? The business failed due to over-diversification, allegedly, which is why he walked away. The *first* tailpiece on sale for non-road was for by Avon for Rickman in 1964, as in the linked article; they called it a mudguard. The *first* for road was 1967 Earls court Show/1968 Commando Fastback. I haven't been able to find any contemporary article calling it a tailpiece. There is (was) a pic of a plastic model (!

- Hi Rocknrollmancer, I know little of Avon's history. I thought they were still going in the early/mid 70s, when I worked at Pride and Clarkes in Brixton in 74 they were still selling Avon fairings, but possibly they were old stock. Looking on line didn't help. This article[2] says Avon, or Michenall’s Reinforced Plastics, continued until the mid-80s. Confusingly the article, which is dated 2014, says 'Today the company employs about 150 men', but I think the first page is a reproduction of an earlier article, the photograph looks like it was taken in the 60s. This article on the NOC site about the Interpol[3] (More Fairings sections) talks of a later fairing made by "CLP, the makers of Avon fairings". Here[4] they talk about Doug Mitchenall joining the Rickman workforce. The moulds Doug Mitchenall produced for Dunstall were auctioned by Bonhams in 2013.[https://dunstall.wordpress.com/2013/03/31/dunstall-body-moulds-to-enter-bonhams-auction-at-stafford-show/ Regards. --John B123 (talk) 16:29, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Not cool
"was previously deleted via a deletion discussion, is substantially identical to the deleted version, and any changes do not address the reasons for which the material was deleted" just wondering, do you even read before nominating things for speedy deletion?

Kindly help me with this article
Hello John, sorry to disturb you but kindly help me with a review on this article David Sabo Kente. I would be grateful. Kind regards sir. Moshswacide (talk) 09:57, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Moshswacide. The article reads slightly promotional but not overly so. Does "National Assembly's deputy director of finance" mean he was elected to the National Assembly, or is this an appointment by the Assembly? If the former, he meets the requirements of WP:POLITICIAN, if the latter the article only just passes the notability requirements of WP:GNG. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 15:56, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
Hello [[John B123]. Thank you for the correction, I'm still learning and I'm grateful for putting me through. He wasn't elected, it was an appointed but he did contested for a state governorship elections twice, does that count as being a politician? So that I can correct it? Moshswacide (talk) 21:44, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
@John B123:. Thank you for the correction, I'm still learning and I'm grateful for putting me through.

Moshswacide (talk) 21:47, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
- : Hi Moshswacide, politicians elected to state or national positions are considered inherently notable, but candidates that were defeated are not. That's not to say they cannot be notable, just that their notability needs to be shown in other ways. Politicians that have not held an elected national office are still politicians so there's no need to change the text. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 22:08, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
Secretlab
My first instinct was to accept your speedy deletion nomination of Secretlab. However, on reflection I decided against it. There are widely differing views on just how similar a re-created article and its deleted predecessor have to be justify deletion, and while I personally prefer a fairly liberal interpretation, there isn't consensus for that view, and I therefore don't think it's right to impose that view, especially when the nomination has been challenged. You are, of course, free to take it to a second AFD if you wish to. JBW (talk) 13:34, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
- Hi JBW, thanks for letting me know. Sometimes articles that have been recreated after being deleted are obviously G4, other times they are obviously not. In this case the previous article was deleted for being promotional and the new article came across as promotional too. As I cannot see the old version, I thought the best course of action was to pass it on to someone who can see the old version and is therefore in a better position to judge. I note from your comments that it was marginal, but have no problem with you declining it. I do have a problem with the article creator's attitude towards me after the article was nominated for speedy deletion. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 15:32, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
- Yes, I too have a problem with the article creator's attitude to you, to put it politely. Nominating articles re-created after deletion at AfD is often a difficult area, as the editor considering doing it almost always can't see whether the new version is sufficiently similar to the old one. The answer to that problem is obviously exactly what you have said: if in doubt nominate it and let someone who can see it decide. As for the current article being promotional, you can judge whether you think that's a big enough problem to do anything about it. JBW (talk) 07:43, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

2027 in sports nominated for deletion
I tried to explain in my edit summary, but accidentally hit published and this was the result. The reason I contest to the deletion of BOTH 2027 in sports and 2032 in sports is because, it's the same thing as all the other articles, 2034 in sports, etc. It isn't crystalball because these competitions are confirmed to happen (such as 2027 Rugby World Cup).

Malgrange-Zerner theorem
you marked Malgrange-Zerner theorem for lack of citations. One of the two references that this article contains is called "generalization of Malgrange-Zerner theorem", and it contains the statement of the theorem. Can you be a bit more specific which statements in the article need citations and just mark those and not the whole article? PhysicsAboveAll (talk) 04:41, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
- Hi PhysicsAboveAll, only the history section of the article is reverenced. The rest of the article needs references. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 07:43, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
Hi John B123 Perhaps it was not clear but refs in the History section also contain proof and formulations of the theorem. I made this now explicit and added another reference. I think this article now contains a typical amount of references expected from an article about a mathematics theorem, so I removed the tag. If you are unhappy about some particular statement which needs to be referenced, please mark that statement (assuming that you are a mathematician).

Memories
Hi John! Regarding the Memories film article, how do you think I can better improve it so that it meets the notability criteria? I believe that the sources I have added are indeed reliable and independent of the subject. What other information, if added, do you think would lend it the notability required for a film article? Thanks! — JosephJames 14:21, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
- Donaldd23 Hey Donald! Could you help out as well? — JosephJames 14:31, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
- The criteria of WP:NFF needs to be fulfilled for the film to pass notability requirements. If not, it should be moved to draft and kept their until release, then it will have to pass WP:NFILM to be included on Wikipedia. If WP:NFF cannot be fulfilled, and it isn't moved to draft, it will more than likely be deleted for now. Donaldd23 (talk) 14:39, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
- @Donaldd23:If you don't mind, could you tell which criteria of NFF is not fulfilled? The film has finished its principal photography and all the references I have added to the article are from reliable, reputed newspapers and independent from the subject. As I asked earlier, what other information, if any added, do you think would lend it the notability required for a film article? Would a brief plot summary and information regarding the marketing of the film maybe help its cause? — JosephJames 14:50, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Joseph, per WP:NFF, the production of the film needs to be notable. As far as I can see the coverage is the routine type you would have for any film. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 15:22, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
- Hi John. I am sorry but I am still unclear on how does the production of a film become notable? What is the difference between Memories and something like say Malaysia to Amnesia, a stub of a recent Tamil-language film or Third World Boys, another stub of an upcoming film? — JosephJames 15:31, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
- Malaysia to Amnesia is released and has 2 reviews, which passes WP:NFILM. Third World Boys fails WP:NFF and should also be deleted or moved to draft. Donaldd23 (talk) 15:44, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) Hi Joseph, I agree Third World Boys shows no notability so have tagged it accordingly. See Mission: Impossible 7 as an example of how films are notable during production. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 15:47, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you for that example John. It was certainly informative. But would you say that an earlier version of the MI7 article like this would pass the notability criteria? This version was left as it is for some fifteen days before another edit was made. I am sorry for keeping on asking questions, but it is so that I can choose topics for future articles better. Thanks! — JosephJames 15:55, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
- No it didn't but it was in draft space at that time so wouldn't have been tagged. The article was subsequently declined at WP:AfC[5] before the filming became notable. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 16:36, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
- Okay, that definitely makes sense. But I still feel that there are still a lot of articles I found for upcoming films that are about the same as the one I made for Memories such as Tuesday, Memory, Cirkus, Men, F. I. R., Angel, Jail, Garjanai, 8, Garuda, Enemy etc, many of them being upcoming Tamil films. I am not asking you to go by all of them on a case by case basis, but it maybe feels a bit disappointing to me that these articles remain while Memories had been tagged for deletion in less than an hour. What do you think about it? — JosephJames 17:15, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
- I looked at a couple of the films at random, Jail and Garjanai, both of which are now released (Jail in 2019). Whilst I can understand your frustration, these seem to be older articles that have slipped through the net. New page patrolling is now stronger than it used to be, and hopefully now more consistant. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 17:32, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
- Okay I see, but what about articles like Men, Memory and Tuesday which were created in Match, April and May of 2021 respectively, and are still standing? It is sad that only certain articles are being kept to higher standards. Either way, I have attempted to add new info on plot, production and marketing for Memories and attempted to remove the deletion tag. Please feel free to add it back if you find it unsatisfactory. @Donaldd23: I hope you check out the new version of the article as well. Also, maybe isn't it better to wait for the film to release so that two reviews can be added for it to pass WP:NFILM rather than deleting it? This is just a query, I hope you don't take it the wrong way.
- Thank you both for your inputs! — JosephJames 18:42, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
- It could be argued that Men's production was notable with Scott Rudin's removal as producer. Memory was moved from draft to mainspace by an autopatroled user so never went through new page patrol. I agree the last 2 are unlikely to meet WP:NFF. --John B123 (talk) 18:58, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

- JosephJames I do patrol new film article that was created to see if they meet the notability threshold, so that is why the ones you are pointing out haven't been singled out and "kept to higher standards. But, now that you have pointed them out I will certainly see if they meet notability. The way I come across these films is by patrolling pages that have been tagged with notability issues. If I see them, I do a WP:BEFORE to see if they can pass WP:NFILM. If so, I delete the notability tag. If not, I PROD them, or send them to AfD for a more broad discussion. Donaldd23 (talk) 19:11, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

Article for review
Hello, firstly I would to appreciate your contributions, its great and you make Wiki amazing.
So in January I created Mudiwa Hood article, he is a prominent artists from Zimbabwe with the most awards here so I thought let me research and write about him in the encyclopedia. However on the contributors moved the article from mainspace for several concerns, Draft:Mudiwa Hood.
Over the past months on and off I managed to improve the article. I worked it to avoid WP:CITEKILL, proved more to show that Mudiwa Hood meets WP:NMUSIC and also removed other less important citations to ensure there is no WP:BOMBARD as suggested before.
Properly arranged important awards and removed less important. Also worked on the tone of article in its presentation as an encyclopedia page.
I think the article is better and ready for mainspace so can you kindly look in to it for a possible review.
Thank you, kind regards
