- Draft:Michelle Browder ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Hello! I'm really unsure why this page was denied. She is a foremost figure in the Mothers of Gynecology Movement which has it's own wikipedia page. As an artist, her work was literally called notable by the New York Times: "Browder’s work has been featured in The New York Times as a notable representation of Montgomery’s complicated past[27] and as a representation of the evolution of civil rights[28] as well as commemorating the centennial ratification of women’s right to vote.[29]"
I do not understand, especially when other not-as-notable people seem to get stub articles approved. Is it because Black Lives Matter etc doesn't seem to interest people? Please advise.
Re: decline due to lack of sources.
I'm just so confused because the page has sources from USA Today, PBS Newshour, The New York Times, and The Boston Globe. These are independent and reliable and objective news sources. Please advise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Endlessnapalm (talk • contribs) 04:26, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
Endlessnapalm (talk) 11:58, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
- Hi, the reason I declined the draft is that there is not enough evidence of notability in independent, objective, reliable sources - the article needs at least three sources. You are welcome to re-submit the draft again and wait for another reviewer to look at it. MurielMary (talk) 12:12, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

Help with a draft
Hello there! I once made a draft for American singer Draft:Gabi DeMartino in July 2021 and you declined it (I totally understand why) but I think since I added more sources could you re-review it? Also both members of the Niki and Gabi duo has gone solo in 2019 so I think they need individual articles so it would be more organized and understandable, just like the Chloe x Halle members, if you could help me with making the Gabi DeMartino draft much better to become an actual article it would mean a lot, thank you and have a great day!

Nina Krajnik declined
Hi @MurielMary - I see that you declined Draft:Nina_Krajnik who is a public intelectual whose work is covered in several international media without giving precise information what is missing from the page as proposed. I also noticed you were the author of Ella_Cooke (nurse who was killed in an accident while on active service in Egypt in World War I)... So I wonder if you are maybe able to explain how these two can compare in terms of visibility, notability and relevance considering also diverse reference sources? I hope it is not the anglo-centric bias on your side, as Wikipedia is global project in different languages. -- Zblace (talk) 11:03, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi MurielMary, thanks for joining the Pacific art Aotearoa project. It would be wonderful if you can work on biographies. Please check on the project page before you start on a bio so you are not working on articles the Wikipedian in Residents are intending to create a draft for, and add what you are doing / what you do. I suggest using the Arts Pasifika Awards and the Pacific Legacy Project to find subjects.
There are lots of red links! Many thanks Pakoire (talk) 02:14, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi MurieMary, thanks for getting back to me about my article.
You made two comments on why this article was not accepted, which I hope you can clarify. The first one was for me to make a statement of my conflict. (i was to believe that this was resolved previously with another reviewer and since has not come up" so please let me know why you have flagged this and they dit not since my first review.) Second comment was about the subject not meeting the notability criteria for a write. Can you please confirm where I can find this criteria as the "subject" is a known author across the world (yes small) but has 3 poetry books, 1 #1 best selling "published" children's book in New Zealand, with two additional books coming out. Can you confirm how they do not meet the criteria?
Any assistance to get this approved would be appreciated. Many thanks :)
125.238.241.141 (talk) 08:16, 13 February 2022 (UTC) Hi, apologies, I should have drawn your attention to the relevant Wikipedia policy, in this case on conflicts of interest, in order to make it clear for you what you need to do in respect to editing an article about your wife. Please read the policy here and follow the instructions on how to disclose the COI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest#How_to_disclose_a_COI
- With regards to why another reviewer didn't mention this, I don't know! Maybe they weren't completely familiar with the requirements of the COI policy.
- With regards to the question of the notability of the subject, I'll put my comments over on the article. MurielMary (talk) 09:36, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
Hi MurieMary, thanks for coming back to me on this and noting the information for the criteria. Just so you know, Jess is regarded a notable writer here in New Zealand. Her children's books reached number 1 best seller within the first week of its release, and it's included in school curriculums and ECE learning centres, she has been contracted to write another two as well. Her poetry books have remained in the top 20 family poetry chart for the past year on Amazon, her work has featured in Mindful Parenting Magazine, one of Australia's biggest parenting magazines for 4 months running, and had a two page spread in Woman's Day magazine in NZ. Her Instagram following is 182,000 and her Facebook is 82,000. She has featured on many podcasts, one is to be released this week on The Motherkind Podcast which is the top family podcast in the UK. There are a lot of external links I initially included to support her notability, yet I was told to remove them as they were external links and just have them as references. Can you please explain if this doesn't meet the criteria then what else do we need to meet it? Thanks again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DrewUrlichs (talk • contribs) 03:58, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
- Hi Drew, please look at the list of criteria for notability of a writer on Wikipedia (the link is in my comment on the draft). You need to show evidence that the subject of the article meets those criteria. I don't think the evidence is sufficient. You are welcome to re-submit the draft if you wish to get the opinion of a different reviewer. MurielMary (talk) 04:54, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
Thanks MurieMary, I will resubmit for approval soon as I do believe it meets the criteria, especially for the work that has been done in this part of the world, with the largest following in the US. I would like to point out a comparison for you to assist with your decision making. Can you clarity how this wiki with little information or evidence of the person was approved as what I have put in looks like it has plenty compared. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Brent_Findlay Thanks again for everything. Drew — Preceding unsigned comment added by DrewUrlichs (talk • contribs) 21:16, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
- Hi Drew. There is limited value to comparing a published biography to your wife's draft. There are some biographies published on WP which have gotten past the usually rigorous checking systems for new articles and have been published when they probably shouldn't have. That doesn't mean that more biographies of subjects who don't meet the notability criteria should be published as well. But, in this case, Findlay is a cricketer and he appears to meet the notability criteria for cricketers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(sports)#Cricket If you don't think the page (or any other page on WP) should remain in the encyclopedia you are welcome to nominate it for deletion here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion MurielMary (talk) 08:30, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.
- AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
- The template {{db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to {{db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.
Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future.

Female Mime 1893-1962, UK
Hello MurielMary
I am still finding my way around the Wiki system, so I hope this is the correct way to contact you.
I have submitted a biography about a woman and I would be grateful if you could tell me if I need to make any changes, please. I have endeavoured to demonstrate that she was pioneering and influential; developing and teaching her own mime technique, plus speech, drama, movement, and voice.
I appreciate that NZ is your main area of interest and there is a brief connection, in that two of her pupils went on to open their own school of dance and mime in New Zealand (1922 onwards).
The subject is Irene Mawer.
Thank you in advance. Janet Fizz Curtis JanetFizzCurtis (talk) 09:50, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

Recent biographies
Hi there, MurielMary, and thanks for all your efforts to improve our coverage of women and for encouraging the involvement of new contributors. I am however a little concerned about the Start rating you have given to some of the short articles you have recently created. I see that Rachel Buckland has only 111 words of running text and Minnie Izett only 65. Both ORES and Rater clearly advise a Stub rating. As a result I've now rerated them. There is sometimes a case for allocating a stub rating to historical people for whom there is little chance of an article being expanded. For these two artists who died in the first half of the 20th century, I would be surprised if no more useful information exists, although it might not be immediately available on the internet. It often helps to allocate stub status to an article as many editors seem to prefer working on existing articles rather than creating new ones. By the way, I'm happy to see the successful outcomes of Wikipedia:Meetup/Aotearoa New Zealand Online/International Women's Day 2022 which has just been completed. Keep up the good work and let me know if ever you think I can help you along.--Ipigott (talk) 10:52, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
- Kia ora and thank you so much for your message! You are absolutely right of course about the incorrect rating on those articles. In my haste to create articles during this weekend's editathon I very lazily copied + pasted the talk page of another new article onto the talk page of those, and didn't notice that I was using the talk page of an article which had already been rated! Thus, copying over the rating (start) in addition to the list of projects! Thank you for the re-rating and corrections, much appreciated. Cheers, MM MurielMary (talk) 14:20, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

Draft:Lena Stamm
Hello! Thank you so much for taking the time to review my draft. I had some questions about how to improve it for possible resubmission. If these questions should be put on the helpdesk instead please let me know!
Regarding the filmography and theatre sections, I will definitely update with references. The reason I had not done so before was that looking at other actresses Wikipedia pages, a lot of them did not have references for everything in their filmography etc, so I assumed that if the item in the list had a reference in the main body then it didn’t need one in the filmography etc. I am now assuming that is not the case?
In terms of notability, the subject’s short film that she wrote, produced, directed and starred in has won several awards at international film festivals. I have used interviews with her and two of those film festivals as references. Are these not notable enough? Is there a certain level of publication/magazine/awards body etc that she needs to have engaged with to be considered notable? Or is it that the quality of referencing that I have to support these facts is not strong enough?
Finally, do you think that this page would be better placed on the German Wikipedia platform? I realise that most of my sources and references are for German TV/film/theatre etc, so do you think she would she be deemed more notable on that platform?
Sorry for the amount of questions! I just want to try and understand as best as I can, so that I can make good Wikipedia articles :)
Thank you again for your time. --Daisycat32 (talk) 11:35, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

A question regarding Maya Gelfman Draft - Negative Answer from May 7th 2022
Hello, hope this message finds you well. I was hoping to approach you with a question regarding the declined submission notice I received dated from May 7th. In regards to Maya Gelfman's Wikipedia draft.
I wanted to ask what else can I offer as proof that Mrs. Gelfman is notable enough to earn her a Wikipedia page in English? Thus far I've provided multiple references to independent sources that covered Mrs Gelman's artistic work and professional achievements; including - TedX talks, Newspapers' websites, lists of exhibitions she took part in many different countries across the world, and more. I wonder if there's anything else I can submit to vindicate her as a notable person. I would just like to add a few notable, extraordinary things about this artist, to name a few.
There is an Wikipedia page in Hebrew that already exists for Maya Gelfman. She has exhibited in numerous national galleries and museums. Mentioned in multiple newspapers and articles which can be found online. She has taken part in many, many group exhibitions globally. And has left her mark in many places, whilst creating images and works that have become synonymous with her name (such as her works with red yarn which are presented in many public places around the world). Her works have been published in four different books in Colombia, France, the UK and Germany.
I feel that in light of this plethora of activity and achievements, as can be found in the draft, and the fact that the Hebrew Wikipedia team has already seen fit to allow this to go online on the site, that it would be ok for this draft to go online as well. Clearly this is not enough - so I wanted to cordially ask - what else can I add in here. Any suggestions or guidance will be highly appreciated! I am certain that once you are presented with sufficient data, you will be able to approve the draft. Her career and life are split between Israel, the US and Europe.
I believe that we should encourage female creation and presence online and wiki English is a very important place for artists.
Here are a few links as an example, out of 40+ references in the draft.

WikiProject update - Performing Arts Aotearoa 12 May 2022
A year after the Performing Arts Aotearoa project started and as we are coming into winter (a busier editing time for many) here is an update.
The Performing Arts Aotearoa Wikiproject now lives on the WikiProject New Zealand page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_New_Zealand/Performing_Arts_Aotearoa
I have added new articles created as part of the Pacific Arts Aotearoa Wikiproject. These articles by new editors include Lusi Faiva, Suli Moa, Edith Amituanai and Amanaki Prescott-Faletau, who was interviewed on Radio New Zealand last Sunday. The reporter let me know the article was valuable for the interview research – great feedback for all of us creating and improving content in Wikipedia.
On the project page is highlighted plenty of articles to create or improve. I invite you to have a look and contribute if you can. There are many long-standing festivals in Aotearoa without articles such as the Hawkes Bay Arts Festival, Tauranga Festival of the Arts, Taranaki International Arts Festival, Nelson Arts Festival and the Christchurch Arts Festival. Creating these Wikipedia pages or Wikidata items allows links to biographies and strengthens the weaving of Wikipedia.
Other suggestions for new articles:
- Notable women - Jane Yonge, Amber Cureen, Eleanor Bishop (director)
- Director of the Te Tairāwhiti Arts Festival and musician - Tama Waipara
- Notable theatre companies - Prayas Theatre, The Conch (theatre company), Barbarian Productions
Reach out to me if you want guidance on any aspects of Wikipedia, or a collegial conversation about writing encyclopaedic entries on performing arts. I can set up a zoom, or direct you to places for help.
Please try to remember to add any relevant articles improved or created to the lists on the project page so the impact can be seen. Take your name off the project page if you don’t want to get these sporadic updates. I will keep an eye on new articles and I have an ongoing campaign to get more images uploaded so we can illustrate the articles too. I have resources on Wikimedia Commons if you are interested. Feel free to contact me on my talk page.

New Page Patrol newsletter May 2022
Hello MurielMary,
At the time of the last newsletter (No.26, September 2021), the backlog was 'only' just over 6,000 articles. In the past six months, the backlog has reached nearly 16,000, a staggering level not seen in several years. A very small number of users had been doing the vast majority of the reviews. Due to "burn-out", we have recently lost most of this effort. Furthermore, several reviewers have been stripped of the user right for abuse of privilege and the articles they patrolled were put back in the queue.
Several discussions on the state of the process have taken place on the talk page, but there has been no action to make any changes. The project also lacks coordination since the "position" is vacant.
In the last 30 days, only 100 reviewers have made more than 8 patrols and only 50 have averaged one review a day. There are currently 740 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 1032 administrators have this permission, but only about a dozen significantly contribute to NPP.
This means we have an active pool of about 450 to address the backlog. We cannot rely on a few to do most of the work as that inevitably leads to burnout. A fairly experienced reviewer can usually do a review in a few minutes. If every active reviewer would patrol just one article per day, the backlog would very quickly disappear.
If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, do suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}}
on their talk page.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.
To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Maybe people would be interested in an online team chat? I could post a Doodle poll… • So looking forward to working with you all on this! • Mānawatia a Matariki, — Giantflightlessbirds | ![]() Selliera radicans is a coastal turf plant that lives on the exposed clifftops near the Pancake Rocks. |
New Page Patrol newsletter June 2022
Hello MurielMary,
- Backlog status
At the time of the last newsletter (No.27, May 2022), the backlog was approaching 16,000, having shot up rapidly from 6,000 over the prior two months. The attention the newsletter brought to the backlog sparked a flurry of activity. There was new discussion on process improvements, efforts to invite new editors to participate in NPP increased and more editors requested the NPP user right so they could help, and most importantly, the number of reviews picked up and the backlog decreased, dipping below 14,000[a] at the end of May.
Since then, the news has not been so good. The backlog is basically flat, hovering around 14,200. I wish I could report the number of reviews done and the number of new articles added to the queue. But the available statistics we have are woefully inadequate. The only real number we have is the net queue size.[b]
In the last 30 days, the top 100 reviewers have all made more than 16 patrols (up from 8 last month), and about 70 have averaged one review a day (up from 50 last month).
While there are more people doing more reviews, many of the ~730 with the NPP right are doing little. Most of the reviews are being done by the top 50 or 100 reviewers. They need your help. We appreciate every review done, but please aim to do one a day (on average, or 30 a month).
- Backlog drive
A backlog reduction drive, coordinated by buidhe and Zippybonzo, will be held from July 1 to July 31. Sign up here. Barnstars will be awarded.
- TIP – New school articles
Many new articles on schools are being created by new users in developing and/or non-English-speaking countries. The authors are probably not even aware of Wikipedia's projects and policy pages. WP:WPSCH/AG has some excellent advice and resources specifically written for these users. Reviewers could consider providing such first-time article creators with a link to it while also mentioning that not all schools pass the GNG and that elementary schools are almost certainly not notable.
- Misc
There is a new template available, {{NPP backlog}}
, to show the current backlog. You can place it on your user or talk page as a reminder:
>NPP backlog: 11144 as of 02:45, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
There has been significant discussion at WP:VPP recently on NPP-related matters (Draftification, Deletion, Notability, Verifiability, Burden). Proposals that would somewhat ease the burden on NPP aren't gaining much traction, although there are suggestions that the role of NPP be fundamentally changed to focus only on major CSD-type issues.
- Reminders
- Consider staying informed on project issues by putting the project discussion page on your watchlist.
- If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, suggest they help the effort by placing

Kia ora koutou and thank you all for your hard work over the last couple of weeks! We've had a cold snap here on the Coast, but at least the rain's slackened off and I've been able to get out on the blue sunny days and take snapshots • Schwede66 has been sorting out the Paparoa Range, cleaning up mountain wikidata, and expanding the Pororari River • We have a new article about the Truman Track, and a great photo selection for Cave Creek • Our hardest worker has been Marshalc, creating new articles on the Pancake Rocks, Bullock Creek, and the Inland Pack Track amongst others • I took a field trip to Punakaiki and sorted out the Wikidata and photos for every scenic spot between the Strongman Mine Memorial (Q112859334) and Hatters Bay (Q32217346) • If you're still thinking about helping, we could do with expanding the Punakaiki article, and sorting the best Pancake Rocks photos into a Commons gallery • Greymouth photographer Jase Blair donated some beautiful photos of Paparoa National Park which need using • The Avatar moth from Denniston Plateau (with its newly-improved article) will be RNZ's Critter of the Week on Friday • New resource: Mark Pickering's book The Coastal Journey (2010) (Q112841717) is free to download and a great reference • This coming weekend I'm off to Moana ![]() ![]() ![]() |
