Melanie Harrison Okoro: I can find no indication of notability beyond minor local coverage.   It does not appear that WP:SIGCOV is met, but perhaps someone can find something.

WC Quidditch ☎ ✎ 18:34, 10 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Just on the off chance that it wasn't clear, the article was created in 2019 by a student editor D hall0504 from this course , and they said their list of potential biographies “was crowdsourced via Twitter and Facebook discussion boards”. -- Dustfreeworld ( talk ) 20:16, 16 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete .  Does not pass WP:PROF and we do not have evidence of notability through WP:GNG .  I would be open to changing my mind if this AfD turns up in-depth coverage of the subject in independent and reliably published sources, but currently we have none of those.  — David Eppstein ( talk ) 19:12, 10 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete : I agree with SG and David.  voorts ( talk / contributions ) 19:17, 10 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Draftify, don't delete.  This school project is underway through early December.  This will let students work on it.  -- A. B. ( talk • contribs • global count ) 04:33, 11 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I'm not understanding the logic of having students work on an article if it doesn't meet notability; what are they learning then? Sandy Georgia ( Talk ) 04:46, 11 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Perhaps what A. B. means is that the article does meet notability but more time is needed to prove it? -- Dustfreeworld ( talk ) 05:13, 11 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Ah, I see; then perhaps they can find some evidence of notability that I couldn't.   Thanks, Sandy Georgia ( Talk ) 05:25, 11 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Sandy, I doubt this article will be good enough.  Perhaps I'm too accommodating; my recommendation to draftify is to give the students more time to work on it, at least through the end of their assignment.  If it's not good enough, then I assume it will just expire on its own after 6 months in article limbo.  -- A. B. ( talk • contribs • global count ) 05:35, 11 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Ah, thanks!  I believe they are all in sandbox anyway (eg User:SydtheSloth22/Melanie Harrison Okoro ) and Wiki Ed staff has spoken to the prof about not moving their articles in to main space, as there are numerous problems (including I think all their image uploads are copyvios).  So it seems a draft might be redundant? Sandy Georgia ( Talk ) 05:41, 11 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Since that's the case, Delete . Thanks for getting involved here. -- A. B. ( talk • contribs • global count ) 05:45, 11 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I think some of the logic of using students is that the minority group is very under represented in the Wikipedia space.  Yes, students may need some corrections (simply because we do not have the experience as you all do) but I am certain after this lesson that's being learned, I would have learned a lot as a  new editors.  As well, most minority people just do not get the gigantic exposures as other groups.  So in order for wikipedia to attempt  to do it's part in closing the gap yes reliable regional publication is what the reach may be for the subject at this moment.  Wikipedia realizes this and this is why they are reaching out to colleges to start to engage.   I admit before this assignment, I always thought only professional prominent people created wikipedia pages.  Now, I know I too can be a part of a diverse group teaching and adding to the big website full of data, SydtheSloth22 ( talk ) 03:03, 12 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ SydtheSloth22 , I’m not sure if minority people are under-represented, but I do think some groups like
