This should be notable as it is a provincial highway, but we'd need a source that proves it exists. Not Google Maps. Maybe something from the B.C. Government Dept of Transportation? I'll note a bunch of the other B.C. provincial highway articles are also sourceless, so if you'd like to improve those at the same time....

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Heya! Firstly, thank you for your help with improving the 'pedia for the last couple months. I've taken a look at your vandalism reverts, and everything was looking totally good from what I've seen. It's quite heartening to hear that you'd also be interested in reviewing new pages!

I saw your proposition over at the village pump, and I can definitely see the mindset that you were coming from, in regards to extended-confirmed being the cut-off for reviewing. Hopefully you took some positives away from that, although a bunch of people were quick to add their own thoughts there. What I WILL say in regards to that suggestion, is that if you are interested in seriously getting "into the weeds" with page patrolling, a good start for this path would be potentially finding a mentor at WP:NPPSCHOOL that can help guide some of your early reviews. It's by no means a requirement per se, but going through the program is a good way to ease into making consistent, quality patrols, without the fear of having a bunch of editors hound over a mistake in real time.

Anyway, I guess my point is that reviewing new pages is a pretty important volunteer position. But, if you're interested in "taking the next step" into that area, it's very nice to hear! I'd potentially be willing to be a trainer for you later on, if that's something you'd like to do in the future. In any case though, thanks for your efforts so far!

Hi, thanks for updating Wikipedia:Featured list statistics! How did you determine the number of lists? Petscan is giving me ~296,000, but it's frequently not working for that large of a category tree so if you have another method I'd rather switch to that! --PresN 01:58, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The GA code "football" covers all codes of football. – Teratix ₵ 14:53, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Teratix and CosXZ: FYI, there is an issue on the talkpage notification, as that doesn't recognise the parameter "football". A question has been raised to fix this here, but doesn't look to have actioned yet. At the moment, we can either have it in the correct GA nomination category "football" or we can have the article history template on the talkpage listing it under "sports", but not both. Hopefully someone will fix this soon, and add football into {{Article history}}. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:40, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello CosXZ. I see you have successfully nominated two BC municipality-type lists as FLs. Thanks for doing such. I have a history of bringing most every "List of Xs in Province/Territory" across Canada to just shy of FLC nomination, including BC's cities, towns, and district municipalities. As you continue to move these to the end zone, please consider taking the co-nomination approach like Mattximus and I did for the many of those in the "List of municipalities in Province/Territory" series. It would be nice to receive some of the credit, and I would be willing to collaborate on getting more to the end zone if I have spare time. Cheers, Hwy43 (talk) 03:32, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for telling me as I’m about to nominate the third list. I’m adding you and B3251 as co-nominators. Cos ^{(X + Z)} 03:49, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I appreciate the proposition but you don't need to add me as a co-nominator as I feel that Hwy and you deserve the credit more for actually doing the work in said content. I haven't worked on getting a municipality-related list to FL in a few months (I've only done New Brunswick and Manitoba) and I haven't really contributed a whole lot otherwise. Thank you, I'm flattered by the mention! :) B3251_(talk) 03:55, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@B3251 The reason why I initially proposed you to be a co-nominator is because I based the lead off your promoted FLs. Cos ^{(X + Z)} 04:01, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Understandable. Appreciate the credit, cheers! B3251_(talk) 04:03, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And those also look eerily familiar to the leads in the municipalities lists! B3251, also appreciate what you've done over in NB as well! With the local government reforms over there, the some of the deleted lists over there can rise from the ashes as there are now so many former towns and villages... unless you've already done that. I haven't been attentive recently. Hwy43 (talk) 04:11, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hwy43 Yes, if I can recall I did use the municipality list to use as a reference when I made my first city-related FL nomination (New Brunswick). I hadn't thought of giving greater credit towards you at the time when I was new to making nominations for quality articles, my sincere apologies. In regards to the local government reforms, I haven't checked NB's village/town list in a while but I don't think they have been updated. I definitely have considered doing it, but the thought of doing it now gives me a headache especially now that I am much more busy in comparison to a few months ago.

Its all good. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of towns in New Brunswick and Talk:List of towns in New Brunswick for what happened to the NB lists for towns, villages, and rural communities. I may resurrect at least towns and villages over the holidays. Hwy43 (talk) 04:24, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see, I see. I agree that the reforms can certainly add a fair bit of content under the towns/villages fields. In all honesty, as somebody from here, I (and probably plenty of others) sometimes tend to forget that the local government reforms even happened given how rarely the names of the newly-amalgamated municipalities are actually used by word of mouth, local/provincial news and media, and from highway signs. From what I'm sensing, the post-reform names are what actually go on the paper and are officially used but otherwise everybody seems to just use the names of the old communities as if the LGR had never happened. An example of this can be seen in an article by Telegraph-Journal where they mention multiple filming locations in the province for the upcoming TV series Revival which includes Norton, (now officially part of Valley Waters). As I digress, I wish you luck if you choose to work on those @Hwy43. Feel free to contact a local if you ever so please feel the need. :) B3251_(talk) 04:43, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cool and thanks, CosXZ. Note, I feel that the incorporate date column should go ahead of the census information, to align with the format all the List of municipalities in Province/Territory FLs. Further, the Former DMs section could use expansion with refs first rather than two bullet points. Cheers, Hwy43 (talk) 04:00, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey. When is your flight response at this FLC going to subside? I have indicated that its nomination was premature and the oppositions have piled on as a result. I'd rather you withdraw the nomination than me pull my name and abandon you on it. Hwy43 (talk) 02:48, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I will withdraw the nomination right now. Cos ^{(X + Z)} 03:09, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
