The change to keeping them open minimum 1 month certainly hasn't helped, but the biggest problem is the number of nominations coming in far exceeds our ability to process them. Many have zero community participation beyond the initial nomination. If you're reading this, please consider taking a few minutes to participate at GAR to help form consensus, or close nominations that have run their course. I'm going to try and be more active at GAR and help with the backlog, but 86 GARs is far beyond my ability to handle. <a href="/wiki/User:Trainsandotherthings" title="User:Trainsandotherthings">Trainsandotherthings</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Trainsandotherthings" title="User talk:Trainsandotherthings">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Good_article_nominations#c-Trainsandotherthings-20250228225100-GAR_backlog" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">22:51, 28 February 2025 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Trainsandotherthings-20250228225100-GAR_backlog"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Trainsandotherthings-20250228225100-GAR_backlog"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Hog_Farm-20250228230000-Trainsandotherthings-20250228225100"></span>I've actually closed I think 7 over the last few days, with all but one as delists. My understanding though is that with the current wording of the GAR instructions, that GARs shouldn't be closed in less than a month unless there's a clear consensus to delist. So unless I'm outside of the standard interpretation of things, the majority of these couldn't really be closed, even if a consensus to delist forms. Although there are some that could be closed with a consensus - <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Good_article_reassessment/Battle_of_the_Plains_of_Abraham/1" title="Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Battle of the Plains of Abraham/1">Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Battle of the Plains of Abraham/1</a> looks pretty close for one. <a href="/wiki/User:Hog_Farm" title="User:Hog Farm">Hog Farm</a> <sub> <i><a href="/wiki/User_talk:Hog_Farm" title="User talk:Hog Farm">Talk</a></i></sub> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Good_article_nominations#c-Hog_Farm-20250228230000-Trainsandotherthings-20250228225100" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">23:00, 28 February 2025 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Hog_Farm-20250228230000-Trainsandotherthings-20250228225100"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Hog_Farm-20250228230000-Trainsandotherthings-20250228225100"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Trainsandotherthings-20250302203400-Hog_Farm-20250228230000"></span>Here we see another reason this was a problematic change - what if consensus to keep develops in less than a month?

I'm not sure if there is an official way to deal with this type of situation, but I think it may be best to just remove the nomination without a review. <a href="/wiki/User:Phlsph7" title="User:Phlsph7">Phlsph7</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Phlsph7" title="User talk:Phlsph7">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Good_article_nominations#c-Phlsph7-20250305093200-Patrick_Welsh-20250302204100" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">09:32, 5 March 2025 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Phlsph7-20250305093200-Patrick_Welsh-20250302204100"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Phlsph7-20250305093200-Patrick_Welsh-20250302204100"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Chipmunkdavis-20250305093600-Phlsph7-20250305093200"></span>I agree and have done so, which I remember also doing in the past for similar situations.

Its well accepted by highly respected medical orgs that trans affirming care has an astounding success rates, with 99% satisfaction rate for gender affirming surgery. And detransition is highly unusual and rare, according to many credible studies. Most commonly due to social pressures, not due to a changing of identities.

I have enough stress IRL as it is. What I am going to say is that immediately going to GAR without any attempt to clearly establish what aspects of the GA criteria the article allegedly fails to meet is bad practice and I'm disappointed in how this was done. Look at most nominations and you see a clear reference to something that is identifiable and actionable. That the nominator has zero interest in participating in the GAR discussion is actively upsetting to me - we'd rightly condemn similar behavior at DYK, GAN, FAC, or any other process involving peer review. If you nominate something at GAR, you owe it to the community to participate when others weigh in. You don't get to just show up, say "people have concerns" and then peace out. If the discussion hadn't already taken off like this, I'd have half a mind to procedurally close the nomination as being invalid.</dd> <dd>Speaking strictly from a personal perspective, I've ceased participating at DYK for the most part after a reviewer felt it was appropriate to nominate the article I had brought to DYK, the subject of multiple entire books, for deletion because they thought it "wasn't long enough". <a href="/wiki/User:Trainsandotherthings" title="User:Trainsandotherthings">Trainsandotherthings</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Trainsandotherthings" title="User talk:Trainsandotherthings">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Good_article_nominations#c-Trainsandotherthings-20250303230900-Your_Friendly_Neighborhood_Sociologist-20250303212100" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">23:09, 3 March 2025 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Trainsandotherthings-20250303230900-Your_Friendly_Neighborhood_Sociologist-20250303212100"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Trainsandotherthings-20250303230900-Your_Friendly_Neighborhood_Sociologist-20250303212100"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Chipmunkdavis-20250304055300-Trainsandotherthings-20250303230900"></span>DYK and GAR are not really places designed to handle this sort of dispute, which lies right at the core of a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Contentious_topic" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Contentious topic">WP:Contentious topic</a>.

The downside to this is it will extend the process to delist an article by another week: when an evaluation of an article is met with hostility, it can be mentally and emotionally draining to explain that an article needs to be cited, updated, and have text moved or removed to be concise. Extending that process by a week, meaning that an article is in the GAR process for at least 37 days (since right now an article needs to be at GAR for at least a month) might cause the already-limited number of GAR nominators to decrease even more. <a href="/wiki/User:Z1720" title="User:Z1720">Z1720</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Z1720" title="User talk:Z1720">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Good_article_nominations#c-Z1720-20250306140900-IntentionallyDense-20250306061900" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">14:09, 6 March 2025 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Z1720-20250306140900-IntentionallyDense-20250306061900"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Z1720-20250306140900-IntentionallyDense-20250306061900"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-IntentionallyDense-20250306153700-Z1720-20250306140900"></span>I do understand this, and I know that those who tend to do regular reassements usually do leave a message first, it's just those that are new to it can be a bit hasty with it. <a href="/wiki/User:IntentionallyDense" title="User:IntentionallyDense"><span style="color:#4e0d55"><b>Intentionally</b></span></a><a href="/wiki/User_talk:IntentionallyDense" title="User talk:IntentionallyDense"><span style="color:#27032b"><b>Dense</b></span></a> <sup>(<a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/IntentionallyDense" title="Special:Contributions/IntentionallyDense"><i>Contribs</i></a>)</sup> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Good_article_nominations#c-IntentionallyDense-20250306153700-Z1720-20250306140900" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">15:37, 6 March 2025 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-IntentionallyDense-20250306153700-Z1720-20250306140900"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-IntentionallyDense-20250306153700-Z1720-20250306140900"></span></dd></dl></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id=""Significant_contributor"" data-mw-thread-id="h-"Significant_contributor"-20250306075400"><span id=".22Significant_contributor.22"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-"Significant_contributor"-20250306075400"></span>"Significant contributor"<span data-mw-comment-end="h-"Significant_contributor"-20250306075400"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Good_article_nominations&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: "Significant contributor""><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Yeshivish613-20250306075400-"Significant_contributor""></span>Hi, I don't have so much experience with GAN, but I wasn't sure what the protocol is.

However, if you're <i>really</i> confident that an article already meets the GA criteria and you're not a major contributor, you can make a post on the talk page explaining what you're doing and why you're familiar enough with the sourcing to address any concerns at the GA review. This should prevent anyone from removing the nom as a drive-by. But be warned, nominations like this are risky - most articles do <i>not</i> meet the GA criteria without some work and you're liable to get quickfailed if you nominate articles that are far from ready. ♠<a href="/wiki/User:Premeditated_Chaos" title="User:Premeditated Chaos">PMC</a>♠ <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Premeditated_Chaos" title="User talk:Premeditated Chaos">(talk)</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Good_article_nominations#c-Premeditated_Chaos-20250306080200-Yeshivish613-20250306075400" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">08:02, 6 March 2025 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Premeditated_Chaos-20250306080200-Yeshivish613-20250306075400"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Premeditated_Chaos-20250306080200-Yeshivish613-20250306075400"></span></dd> <dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-TompaDompa-20250306221800-Yeshivish613-20250306075400"></span>As alluded to by <a href="/wiki/User:Premeditated_Chaos" title="User:Premeditated Chaos">Premeditated Chaos</a> above, the purpose of requring nominators to be significant contributors to the nominated article is to ensure that nominators are sufficiently familiar with the article and its sources to be able to deal with any issues brought up by the reviewer.
