WiR redlist index: BBC 100 Women


Welcome to WikiProject Women in Red (WiR). Our objective is to turn red links into blue ones. Our scope is women's biographies, women's works, and women's issues, broadly construed.

This list of red links covers women from the BBC's annual 100 Women lists for which Wikipedia lacks a biography article. It is intended to serve as a basis for creating new articles on the English Wikipedia. Please note however that the red links on this list may well not be suitable as the basis for an article. All new articles must satisfy Wikipedia's notability criteria with reliable independent sources. This list was generated using Wikidata and it will be refreshed roughly daily to remove blue-links - no manual editing is required.

This list is automatically generated from data in Wikidata and is periodically updated by Listeriabot.
Edits made within the list area will be removed on the next update!
