Wikipedia:Destubathon of the Americas ↗


You are invited to participate in the '''Destubathon of the Americas ↗''', a contest/editathon which will run from May 1 to May 31. The goal is to destub as many of our 475,000+ stubs for the Americas (from Alaska down to Chile) as possible. A good chance to have fun in expanding many of our old stale stubs and win up to £2000 ($2680) in Amazon vouchers for expanding stub articles. Sign up in the Contestants/participants section on the contest page if interested. Even if not interested in prizes you are still warmly welcome to participate in it as an editathon! Hopefully we can achieve something significant in the month of May together! ♦ <span style="font-variant:small-caps;color:#aba67e">''Dr. Blofeld''</span> 16:41, 15 April 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 12:07, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

Nandita Haksar ↗ moved to draftspace



Thanks for your contributions to Nandita Haksar ↗. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing as a live article at this time because '''it needs more sources to establish notability''' and '''wikipedia is not a resume'''.
I have converted it to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page ↗.
When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 04:39, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

:Hello @Flyingphoenixchips. The moving into draft space of this article is not in line with Wikipedia:DRAFTNO ↗. If you think the article needed more sources to establish notability, you could have done it yourself. I understand that wikipedia is not a resume, and the easy way to fix it would have been to keep her best sellers in the list of works, and deleted the rest. I do not understand the need to shift to draft for that reason. You could have also left behind a template tag on the article for "reads like a resume" (which exists). I do not seem the need to establish the notability of this author. Please consider checking the guidelines for the same. Sincerely, Astra Travasso (talk) 07:25, 6 May 2026 (UTC)
::Hey @Astra Travasso as I said below, apologies on this mishap. Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 07:26, 6 May 2026 (UTC)
::Moved back to mainspace. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:26, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

Naga People's Movement for Human Rights ↗ moved to draftspace



Thanks for your contributions to Naga People's Movement for Human Rights ↗. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing as a live article at this time because '''it needs more sources to establish notability''' and '''there are copyright issues'''.
I have converted it to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page ↗.
When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 04:41, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

:Thank you @Flyingphoenixchips for your interest in this article, and dedication in expanding Wikipedia articles, especially from underrepresented areas. I sincerely appreciate it. However, I do not think you can move this page to draft space, as per WP:DRAFTNO ↗. And now, I have created a mess which I cannot undo. As far as notability is concerned, how many sources do you think you need to establish notability given that the organisation is mentioned in newspapers, international reports, peer-reviewed articles, and academic book chapters. Can you further clarify this? As far as the copyright issues tag is concerned, I have tried to fix it but the link mentioned is a dead link. Therefore, I have refrained from removing it for the last few days. Is there a better solution to this problem.
:Dear @<bdi>MPGuy2824</bdi>, could you fix the mistake that I did with moving this draft into a Wikipedia project instead of article as you did with at least one of the articles that was recently moved by the above user. Your help will be much appreciated.
:Sincerely, Astra Travasso (talk) 07:21, 6 May 2026 (UTC)
::Hey apologies @Astra Travasso, I was working with a few shell scripts on my terminal and it messed up tags as opposed to draftify. It has been moved back to mainspace. Apologies on my behalf Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 07:23, 6 May 2026 (UTC)
::@Astra TravassoI am a northeastern myself and know that this organisation is clearly notable. Just would need to add more recent sources and fix the copyright issue. I will be looking into this to help out as well. Also why was the page moved from draft to wikipedia? Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 07:24, 6 May 2026 (UTC)
:::The move was the mess on my side. As far as recent sources is concerned, I am afraid there won't be much. The organisation does organise annual events but as far as works for larger impacts are concerned, there are almost defunct. Astra Travasso (talk) 07:28, 6 May 2026 (UTC)
::::I will try finding a few. I suspect there should be Ao naga sources out there. Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 07:29, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

Draft:Mair Garnon ↗



Hi - I'm an experienced editor. I came across this biography which you declined to create today, and I'm a bit baffled about how an inexperienced editor is supposed to respond to such a vague rejection. The draft includes several examples of significant coverage which easily pass WP:GNG ↗ in my opinion, and, per WP:AFCPURPOSE ↗, it would credibly survive a deletion nomination. For example:
I admit I'm not experienced with AfC, having never used the process for my own pages. Could you explain why this page was rejected, and how a new editor could be expected to improve it without more specific guidance? pburka (talk) 22:33, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

:Hi @Pburka. Thank you for giving me an opportunity to reflect deeper on my actions, and justify them in some ways. I agree that I should have been clearer in my reasoning to decline the submission rather than just mention the lack of notability. There was already a comment with pointed to unclear Wikipedia:GNG ↗ which I seemed to agree with. Nevertheless, I also agree that it would clearly survive a deletion nomination but after slight improvements post-nomination.
:* The BBC obituary is definitely the strongest citation, but I missed it being used in the lede to point that she was "the leader of the 'Noson Lawen' programme". I previously saw it only being used for early biographical details. That was clearly my shortcoming. If the obituary would have been in English, I would have improved it myself which I often do.
:* The very short article on being the first woman compere spends equal text on the previous compere (who also did not have a Wikipedia page in English or Welsh). Therefore, I did not consider it to warrant sigcov. I could not find a Wikipedia page for ''Gwyl Fawr Aberteifi'' on Welsh Wikipedia. Collectively, these led me to wonder the significance of it.
:* While the prize established in her honour might be significant, I could not find any other mention of the prize in the following years. So, I assumed many prizes are instituted but their significance is established in the continuity of the same.
:I admire your dedication and experience in Wikipedia, and Women in Red in specific. Therefore, if you think that the page is ready to be accepted, please re-submit. I will gladly approve it. My apologies for all the stress I may have caused. Sincerely, Astra Travasso (talk) 09:10, 14 May 2026 (UTC)
::I do think the page is ready, so I clicked the submit button. I appreciate the work that you do as a reviewer. I do feel that you're being unnecessarily strict in your interpretation of notability. In my opinion, new pages don't need to be perfect to be accepted; they just need to demonstrate that the subject is probably notable. The sources above might not be the strongest possible, but they do meet the requirement of significant coverage (i.e. not passing mentions). Remember that most users of AfC are relatively new to Wikipedia, and I'm sure the AfC review process must feel kafkaesque to many. We don't want to discourage editors who are legitimately following our written guidelines by applying stricter standards than what's documented. There's always time to improve articles after they're accepted. pburka (talk) 20:53, 14 May 2026 (UTC)
:::I agree with you on most of your statements. Therefore, I feel approving the page is the right thing to do. Sincerely, Astra Travasso (talk) 21:44, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

Draft:Binaifer Nowrojee



Hi Astra Travasso, thanks for reviewing Draft:Binaifer Nowrojee ↗ and leaving your comment. I've made some minor cleanups based on your feedback (tense in the lead, category formatting, section heading). I'm new to this, but learning! Would you be able to take another look when you have a chance? Thanks! WorldHistory391 (talk) 19:58, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

:Sure, I will take a look and make changes that are required. If there is something I think you must add, I will inform you about the same. Cheers, Astra Travasso (talk) 20:14, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

A Barnstar for you!



{{The Hornbill Barnstar|Thank you for all the work you have put into improving Northeast India ↗ related articles. I created this barnstar and wanted you to be the first one to be facilitated with it. Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 04:49, 26 June 2026 (UTC)}}
