Comment: Insufficient significant coverage to meet the WP:GOLDENRULE. Seems to be assisted by AI / LLM or similar. ChrysGalley (talk) 16:13, 26 May 2026 (UTC)

Comment: Please do not remove past AfC decline templates. These are left for future reviewers so that they can review your draft and check that any prior concerns have been addressed. Removing these templates can make it more difficult for your draft to be accepted. Thank you. --Gurkubondinn 22:04, 12 May 2026 (UTC)
