Easy enough Semi randomly when I sit down to do some editing my starting point is always one of 3 places Monitoring new page creation New Page Patrol monitoring recent changes or existing items on my watch list items accumulated from the above 2 Any article I tag for deletion was either originated from 1 or 2 above or was linked to in one of the above Generally I don t discriminate if I see 3 very similar articles worthy of deletion or at least a deletion discussion AfD all 3 will be up for a nomination I qualify that with generally because I don t always have the time energy desire etc to do all that work In that case I ll add the others to a to do list or my watch list However if 1 or 2 of those 3 articles are better off e g topics that are clearly notable but no one s taken the time to dig up sources or the article already has better sources I ll use the appropriate cleanup tag ones that indicate the article needs additional sources It always comes down to the quality of the sources a single mention in a nationally published news source e g NY Times carries a lot more weight than scattered blog postings or trivial mentions Cheers talk
