Rob Kam: We need to find more non-primary sources to establish
notability. One was present (Between the Brackets) and I recently added one that I could find on Google (Kotaku). We also need to keep the article active (there's auto-deletion if no edits were done in 6 months) while it's in draft, and submit it when we think it's complete enough to pass creation. -

@
Agent Isai and others, good work on finding more secondary references and content to add. I suspect we'll need some more before resubmitting for creation, but good progress so far. :D -

Edit: Nevermind, just noticed it's been resubmitted for creation, fingers crossed it passes. If not, there's space and time for improvements. -

Although I'm providing sources about John Lewis being blocked by WMF, in case it's of any use, there's already enough relevant information about the founders in the draft article. I'm bringing to attention that reliable secondary sources might not alone be sufficient for the draft to qualify for a Wikipedia article. --

All of these are forum or social media posts so they aren't usable, though it's sad to see it go. Even if, getting an article only after a shutdown isn't great. Fingers crossed that a new team forms up to save Miraheze before the planned shutdown. –

Hi. I misclicked while using the phone and accidentally saved before inputting the proper edit summary. I then corrected this in my subsequent edit (
dummy edit), which contains the actual edit summary that was intended for the previous edit, and it is in this edit summary that I have given my reasons for the revert. —

Change of management: It would be useful to note in the article that User:CA/UA left to setup WikiForge/WikiTide and then the 'internal drama' happened, followed by volunteers leaving Miraheze for WF/WT, some staying with Miraheze and a third party offered to keep Miraheze running.

Also useful to include would be an answer to "What's the similarities/differences between Miraheze, WikiForge and WikiTide?".

Even Miraheze is lucky to get mentioned here and there in sources, and I doubt WF/WT are going to have any coverage whatsoever anytime soon. This is a question best answered on a dedicated page like the Miraheze FAQ (or some other site to avoid bias). –
