Hello NeoGaze: I was happy to learn of your interest in articles about Classical Music and your interest in the review of new draft pages. Perhaps if you have some extra time you could assist with the review of Draft:Pietro Deiro Presents the Accordion Orchestra? It has been submitted several times and I have recently completed a new update to the submission, but it has not received attention from a reviewer even though most of the objections appear to have been resolved. The article describes and documents noteworthy and historic performances of classical music compositions by one of the very few modern symphonic orchestras in the USA (during the mid 20th Century) consisting entirely of customized accordions on a major record label. It features orchestral performances by several leading jazz and classical music accordionists of that era including: Carmen Carrozza, Angelo Di Pippo, Charles Magnante, John Serry and Joe Biviano (the "father of the accordion symphony movement in the United States") which helped to establish the young accordion as a legitimate orchestral instrument in the USA,[1] and is listed on the Discography of American Historical Recordings (DAHR) database.[2][3] These performances ere also critically reviewed in The Billboard (magazine),"[4]High Fidelity (magazine)[5], Catholic Digest[6] and in several major newspapers in the USA[7][8][9] (as shown on Newspaperarchve.com) which described it as a "tour de force". It was also reviewed internationally in the Swedish journal Accordion Journalen.[10] I have provided additional reference citations, incorporated a more neutral tone in the text, wikified the structure of the draft and attempted to limit the use of references as much as possible without detracting from the verification of the noteworthy nature of the orchestra's members.Feel free to make any additional deletions or modifications which you might deem necessary,. It someone has time, perhaps you could start a formal move request discussion after completing a final review of the text. I've listed a few references below which are relevant. Thanks in advance for your help and Happy Editing! With best regards ~2026-10873-46 (talk) 20:22, 18 February 2026 (UTC)NHPL

Hello NeoGaze. This is a reminder that your Articles for Creation review on Roman Tolici is still marked as ongoing for over forty-eight hours. After seventy-two hours, Roman Tolici will be returned to the review queue so that other reviewers may review the draft.
If you wish to continue reviewing the draft but need more time before the bot returns it to the review queue, you can place {{bots|deny=TenshiBot}} on the draft so you can continue your review. Also, if you do not want to receive these notifications, you can place the same template on your talk page. TenshiBot (talk) 09:39, 22 March 2026 (UTC)
Hey there, I'm sorry but I don't understand what you mean. NeoGaze (talk) 14:19, 23 March 2026 (UTC)
This should never have been submitted as a draft, hence this review should not have taken place. Please revisit, reevaluate the situation, and let me know you understand. SamSailor 16:19, 23 March 2026 (UTC)
I see the editor kept submitting the redirected sandbox after the content was moved onto a draft. I got it, thanks for notyfing me. NeoGaze (talk) 18:14, 23 March 2026 (UTC)
Exactly! Super rare case, but odd things happen. First question to ask would have been: We are in user space; the page title includes a malformed disambiguator (unnecessary spaces, miscapitalised "politician"); the target in draft space, Amritlal Tiwari, is at the base name; so, why is there a {{subst:submit}} on this redirect to a target that is blue-linked? We can logically assume that it's a case of draftification, and looking at the history this assumption is confirmed: after Sam Sailor draftified the user draft using WP:DFY (highly recommended), Politician Rajneta, (the page "owner"), has submitted this redirect twice using AfC-submit-wizard. Looking at Politician Rajneta's contribs we see that 24 minutes later in this diff they correctly submitted Draft:Amritlal Tiwari. So, they know their mistake, but as they are new, they don't know that a self-revert on the redirect would have been nice. Only thing to do here as a reviewer, as Bobby Cohn did before you, is to undo Politician Rajneta on the user page redirect. Best, SamSailor 06:58, 24 March 2026 (UTC)
Allright, these seem helpful. Thanks again! NeoGaze (talk) 14:20, 25 March 2026 (UTC)
Copyvio tagging
Hey just completed revdel on a couple of drafts you had tagged. Just a note that you shouldn't tag them as cv-cleaned. That should only be done by the admin that has completed the revdel, otherwise the notice saying that the offending revisions have been deleted shows up before it has actually been done. You should just tag them as cv. Mfield (Oi!) 22:16, 4 April 2026 (UTC)
Hello there, that's weird because I have been following the Copyright cleanup instructions and it states the following: "(iv) change the decline parameter in your AfC copyvio decline template from cv to cv-cleaned – or remove that decline entirely, since you've just cleaned it, and re-assess the draft on its other merits"
I have no problem leaving the cv as is, but if what you say its true then the instructions should be admended. NeoGaze (talk) 22:28, 4 April 2026 (UTC)
Yeah that's weird that it says that in those instructions tbh, as if you do that the AfC template then shows
"This submission has now been cleaned of the above-noted copyright violation and its history redacted by an administrator to remove the infringement. If re-submitted (and subsequent additions do not reintroduce copyright problems), the content may be assessed on other grounds"
Which clearly isn't the case until after the revdel has been completed.
I haven't seen those particular instructions before tbh, and whenever I come to perform a bunch of revdels, they are always just tagged as cv, hence why it stood out to me. Changing the cv to cv-cleaned in the template causes that additional message I quoted to be added like in this revision from before I performed it.
Those instructions need a look over I think as it makes no sense to have cv and cv-cleaned otherwise. Mfield (Oi!) 00:05, 5 April 2026 (UTC)
I will bring this issue into the AFC Wikiproject talk page later today. NeoGaze (talk) 10:26, 5 April 2026 (UTC)
I started a thread there yesterday. I meant to tag you in but I forgot sorry. Mfield (Oi!) 18:42, 5 April 2026 (UTC)
Thanks, I will keep an eye out. Until a change is made I will still put the cv-cleaned as until now, if you don't mind. NeoGaze (talk) 19:09, 5 April 2026 (UTC)
Yeah absolutely, I don't think it actually makes any real difference one way or the other at the end of the day, but it would be good if the templates and instructions all matched. Mfield (Oi!) 19:19, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

several of the sources you mentioned in your decline I did not look at all. I din't know they existed. Tornado Elliott (ask) 13:08, 7 April 2026 (UTC)
Really? Well that's strange, I assumed you copypasted text from them. There's a small possibility that those sources actually copied from the draft, but that rarely happens. Also you should probably revise the draft, as now there are broken phrases all over the place after the removal of the copyrighted material. NeoGaze (talk) 14:28, 7 April 2026 (UTC)
got it! thanks for reminding me Tornado Elliott (ask) 15:01, 7 April 2026 (UTC)
On 28 April 2026, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Michael Tilson Thomas, which you updated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. Schwede66 07:39, 28 April 2026 (UTC)
Thank you for this one especially, among many others! I love collaborations. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:48, 28 April 2026 (UTC)
Thank you Gerda, hope you're doing fine! NeoGaze (talk) 15:16, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
