Hiya I thought I'd make some comments here for User:MariaElle about the page. It's a great start and needs a bit of work. I suggested looking at Red Emma's, Bluestockings (bookstore) and Forte Prenestino as pages for somewhat similar projects. Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) is worth a read since we need to establish notability for wikipedia, which is done by using references to indepth coverage in reliable secondary sources. Without establishing notability, then the article won't be approved. That doesn't say anything about the project itself, this just about the wikipedia criteria for notability. I'm discussing the links you used and also found some others.
I would say these sources fit that criteria and therefore should be used for the basis of the article:
These sources are reliable but the mention of Qilombo is fleeting so they might be worth using but don't really contribute to establishing notability:
These sources are fine to use but they are all local news sources so should just be used to back specific claims like a gallery show or whatnot, as you have already been doing. They don't add much to notability, being local:
This link - https://www.leagle.com/decision/incaco20180305000 is great to include but doesn't count towards establishing notability for wikipedia since court documents are considered
Right now there's a lot of facebook links which aren't that necessary. Per WP:FACEBOOK facebook links are acceptable under certain circumstances, but if it's an event rpeort, much better to use a local news link. I would chop out most if not all of the facebook links. If that means a certain event is not mentioned, that's ok.
I'd say the "Notable Events, Workshops, and Series" section doesn't need all the subheaders, it could be rolled together.
Hopefully by comparing this article to Red Emma's, Bluestockings (bookstore) and Forte Prenestino you can see what i am on about!
The quote to explain the name is great, but the quote to expalin the transition is too big. Also better to reference the libcom interview to its original source, viewpointmag.
It's great to have images on the article, I would say right now the images slightly interfere with reading pleasure. They could be made smaller and maybe pruned a bit.
I hope these comments are helpful in getting the article published on wikipedia! Mujinga ( talk) 21:26, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
Great, thank you so much! I will work on these in the coming days

Mujinga (
talk) 14:42, 6 January 2021 (UTC)I tripped over you as I was on Mujinga's page. My own advice might be that you should draft this down to the best two paragraphs with some solid refs that explain why this is notable. Put the rest to one side. There are editors who have written a hundred a so articles or more who could publish an article of this length but you are going to face a lot of minor points and the major point is notability. You can persuade the community that this article is notable in a couple of paragraphs (or not) .... get that published THEN add the rest of the stuff and learn about other style issues.

Hi Golden, thanks a lot for taking on the review. I co-nominated with the page creator MariaElle so if it's ok I'll wait a for them to join and answer the comments as it's their first GA nomination. Mujinga ( talk) 11:19, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
Most points have been resolved. I have one more additional concern with the History and Closure sections which I've noted above. — Golden call me maybe? 21:36, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
