Class-B article review for Kai Newkirk
editCould a project member do a B-class assessment on Kai Newkirk? The article was previously deleted at PROD because I (the main contributor) was unresponsive for a few weeks. It has been substantially rebuilt this week to address the lack of "main character" energy in the sources, adding ~20 reliable sources, restructuring the activism sections by organizational vehicle, and pairing all advocacy-source claims with mainstream cites. I recently self-placed a C-class assessment on the article. Discussion and prior questions on the article are at Talk:Kai Newkirk. Tom Haws (talk) 23:01, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
Bump. I'm self-assessing as B. I would appreciate any correction. Tom Haws (talk) 01:53, 28 May 2026 (UTC)

The article Anthony Holmes has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article. The nominator also raised the following concern:
- Unsourced BLP
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Bearian (talk) 16:20, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

COI edit request for Dr. Beatrice Wiafe-Addai
editHello WikiProject Biography editors,
I would like to request help reviewing and improving the article on [[Beatrice Wiafe Addai]].
COI disclosure: I have a close family relationship with Dr. Wiafe Addai, so I understand that I should not make substantive edits to the article directly. I am therefore asking uninvolved editors for guidance or assistance.
Dr. Wiafe Addai is a Ghanaian breast surgeon and cancer advocate whose work with Breast Care International and Peace and Love Hospitals has received coverage in sources such as Ghana News Agency, Daily Graphic, ecancer, Direct Relief, and peer-reviewed publications indexed in PubMed. The current article appears limited and has maintenance concerns, and I would appreciate help improving it in a neutral, well-sourced way.
I am happy to provide source links, background information, or draft wording on the article Talk page if that would be useful. My aim is simply to help ensure the article is accurate, neutral, and compliant with Wikipedia’s standards for biographies of living persons.
Thank you for your time and guidance. Erilidan (talk) 14:02, 19 May 2026 (UTC)
- Beatrice Wiafe Addai?
- If it is, its needs a lot of wp:rs to establish notabilty. Slatersteven (talk) 14:07, 19 May 2026 (UTC)
- Yeah that's the one. I'm not sure who wrote it in the first place, but it's a complete mess right now. As far as sources go though, there are a number of reputable articles written about her. If you would be willing to help review it, I’d be happy to gather sources that meet your criteria. Just to clarify, her full name is in fact Dr. Beatrice Wiafe-Addai with the hyphen. Sorry if I caused any confusion with my lack of consistency there.
- Also, I'm not sure what the "Not as well" at the start of the second reply was... Erilidan (talk) 14:26, 19 May 2026 (UTC)
- At least one of the sources used there does not use that spelling of the name. Note as well that sources have to be about her, not just name her in connection with something else (read wp:n). Slatersteven (talk) 14:30, 19 May 2026 (UTC)
- Noted. How many sources would you need? Would these suffice:

- At least one of the sources used there does not use that spelling of the name. Note as well that sources have to be about her, not just name her in connection with something else (read wp:n). Slatersteven (talk) 14:30, 19 May 2026 (UTC)
- Note as well. I am very dubious of a source who cannot even spell her name correctly. Slatersteven (talk) 14:10, 19 May 2026 (UTC)
- Also, Addae is a common alternative spelling of her last name. There have been (particularly in the past) several issues with that. Feel free to disregard any such articles if that is indeed a disqualifying factor. Erilidan (talk) 14:59, 19 May 2026 (UTC)
Spencer Pratt (he's running for mayor of Los Angeles)
editThe Spencer Pratt article is heating up. I've been trying to moderate the cherrypicked contentious comments--both liberal and conservative--and keep the article neutral, per WP:BLP, but this mayoral race is going viral. If other editors could keep an eye on the article and keep it NPOV it would be of benefit to readers. Thanks! Magnolia677 (talk) 14:55, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

Draft proposals for Saint Satine members (Lexie Levin, Samara Siqueira and Emily Kelavos)
editHi! Now that Draft:Saint Satine is in development, I think we have strong ground to create independent drafts for three of its members, as they have notable pre-debut activities that meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines for creative professionals. They are:
- Emily Kelavos: Former competitive dancer named Teen Female Dancer of the Year (2021 Nationals), signed with Bloc LA talent agency, and performed at Coachella 2025 as a background dancer for XG. She also participated in Dream Academy.
- Samara Siqueira: She participated in Dream Academy and starred in music videos for The Bootcampers.
- Lexie Levin: Widely covered by media like Vogue HK due to her self-producing background and her viral withdrawal from Dream Academy to prioritize mental health.
If anyone is interested in co-creating or mentoring these drafts, I can help gather independent reliable sources from Teen Vogue, Vogue HK, and Grazia to back them up. Let me know your thoughts! Techgamer534 (talk) 10:39, 21 May 2026 (UTC)
COI Request Draft:Peter Michael Bauer - Oregonian - Rewilding Advocate
editHello, I have created a draft article on Peter Bauer, a Portland, Oregon-based environmental and primitive skills educator, rewilding advocate, and performer. Bauer is best known for his Urban Scout persona, through which he helped bring the rewilding movement to broader public attention in the United States during the 2000s. He is also the founder of the nonprofit Rewild Portland.
The draft draws on coverage from the Oregonian, Willamette Week, Portland Tribune, and Southeast Examiner, as well as several books and a 2026 peer-reviewed article in Hunter Gatherer Research (Liverpool University Press).
I am disclosing that I have a conflict of interest in creating this article, as a paid editor with a professional relationship with the subject. I have made every effort to write neutrally and in accordance with Wikipedia's guidelines, and welcome feedback of both the content and sourcing.
I would welcome feedback from editors familiar with Oregon subjects, environmental movements, biography articles, and primitive skills or anthropology topics before I submit to AfC.
The draft can be found at: Draft:Peter Michael Bauer

Drafts opened for Saint Satine members (Emily Kelavos, Lexie Levin, Samara Siqueira) - Collaboration welcome!
editHi community! Now that the master article for Draft:Saint Satine is underway, I have set up three independent biographical drafts for its members to document their extensive individual pre-debut careers:
- Draft:Emily Kelavos: Details her background as Teen Female Dancer of the Year (2021), her recent appearance dancing with XG at Coachella 2025, and her participation on Dream Academy.
- Draft:Lexie Levin: Covers her songwriting background in Stockholm and her highly publicized mental health advocate run on Dream Academy.
- Draft:Samara Siqueira: Includes her early work with The Bootcampers in Brazil and her 7th-place finish on Dream Academy.
The drafts have been structured properly with baseline infoboxes, inline references (from Vogue HK, Bandwagon Asia, IMDb, etc.), and clean draft categories. Please feel free to jump in and help expand their career histories, verify additional international media sources, polish the prose before they are submitted for mainspace review, or adding an image uploaded from Wikimedia Commons. Thank you for your collaborative help! Techgamer534 (talk) 10:44, 23 May 2026 (UTC)
- No independent nobility, might be best as just Saint Satine. Slatersteven (talk) 10:47, 23 May 2026 (UTC)
- @Slatersteven I have said that you can expand it with more information. Techgamer534 (talk) 10:48, 23 May 2026 (UTC)
- That is the problem, there is none. It is even aghuanble that Saint Satine does not pass gng. Slatersteven (talk) 10:49, 23 May 2026 (UTC)
- @Slatersteven I think there might be some information in some reliable sources, because they've had some notable activities before their debut. I'm just saying you should try. If not, we could wait, since the group is debuting around July, and more reliable sources might appear in the meantime or when the group makes its debut, which we could include in the drafts/articles. Techgamer534 (talk) 11:02, 23 May 2026 (UTC)
- This is why I have not nominated them for deletion, as they are only drafts, but searching has produced nothing new. Slatersteven (talk) 09:20, 24 May 2026 (UTC)

- Do you mean Draft:David Charles Osborne? It has two footnotes & two external references. That's not enough to establish notability. Peaceray (talk) 15:26, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

Request for input on sourcing and notability
editHi all, I raised sourcing and notability concerns on the article talk page two weeks ago but have not received any feedback. I would appreciate additional input regarding source independence, due weight, and whether the article demonstrates significant coverage sufficient for WP:BIO. Discussion here: Talk:Ekkehard Knobelspies ~2026-34384-66 (talk) 06:17, 12 June 2026 (UTC)
Possible to update a headshot?
editI'm trying to update the headshot for the Danny Rimer article. I already posted on the talk page but haven't received a response. Did I not format the request correctly?
I hope editors will agree that the current headshot does not meet the standard of an encyclopedia profile. It honestly looks like a snapshot from MySpace. I uploaded a new, forward-facing one here.
Could somebody help me with this? Is there another noticeboard I should post at? I just want to make sure I'm doing everything right. Kelsey at Index (talk) 10:34, 12 June 2026 (UTC)
An RfC on non-free photos of low-profile victims at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content

Request for independent assessment: Martin Dougiamas (currently a redirect)
editI'm writing as the subject of this topic, with a declared conflict of interest (disclosed on my user page). I am not asking anyone to take my word for anything, and I won't be editing the article myself — I'm asking whether uninvolved editors think the available independent sourcing now supports a standalone biography, and if so, whether someone would be willing to assess it through WP:AFC.
Martin Dougiamas was converted to a redirect in 2020, when the article's sourcing was weak (largely self-published and primary). My understanding is that there was no formal AfD, so this is a question of whether a properly sourced article can now replace the redirect, not a deletion review.
What I think has changed is that there is now independent secondary coverage spanning a long period, rather than the thin sourcing of the old version. The most relevant items:
- Victoria Laurie, "Not your average tech bro: The boy from the bush behind a digital juggernaut," Good Weekend (Sydney Morning Herald / The Age), September 2025 — a long-form feature by a named senior journalist that includes independent third-party assessment (quoting Prof. Michael Sankey of ACODE and author Curtis J. Bonk). https://www.smh.com.au/national/not-your-average-tech-bro-the-boy-from-the-bush-behind-a-digital-juggernaut-20250807-p5ml97.html (paywalled, but paywalled sources are acceptable per WP:PAYWALL)
- Curtis J. Bonk, The World Is Open: How Web Technology Is Revolutionizing Education (Jossey-Bass, 2009) — independent academic author discussing the subject and Moodle by name. Publisher page: https://www.wiley.com/en-us/shop/general-introductory-education/the-world-is-open-how-web-technology-is-revolutionizing-education-p-9780470526736
- 2008 Google–O'Reilly Open Source Award ("Best Education Enabler") — Google's official Open Source blog: https://opensource.googleblog.com/2008/07/and-winners-of-2008-google-oreilly-open.html
- Australian of the Year — Western Australia finalist (2017 and 2024): https://australianoftheyear.org.au/recipients/dr-martin-dougiamas
I've compiled a fuller source list, sorted into what I believe does and doesn't count toward notability (I've tried to be conservative and flag the weak items as weak). I'm happy to post it here or share it however is most useful.
I recognise the obvious counter-argument — that much of the coverage is connected to Moodle, raising a notability-inherited-from-the-product question. I'd genuinely value an uninvolved editor's honest view on whether the personal coverage and my separate role founding the Open EdTech Association are enough to clear that bar, or whether it's still premature. Either answer is helpful to me. Thank you. Dougiamas (talk) 11:47, 13 June 2026 (UTC)
Draft opened for Marquise Auramornrat - Collaboration welcome!
editHi community! I have set up one independent biographical draft for the singer Draft:Marquise Auramornrat to document her individual pre-debut career. The draft is structured properly with baseline infoboxes, inline references, and clean draft categories. Please feel free to jump in and help expand her career history, verify additional international media sources, polish the prose before it is submitted for mainspace review, or adding an image uploaded from Wikimedia Commons. Thank you for your collaborative help! Techgamer534 (talk) 13:49, 13 June 2026 (UTC)
