Since biographies are potentially under the purview of almost all WikiProjects, it is important that we work in tandem with these projects. Also, when seeking collaboration on articles, don't neglect to approach WikiProjects that are part of the geographical region your subject is/was in.
Increase the exposure of our work group by nominating our articles for their Portal FA and DYKs... Specific discipline portals are listed in that section.
Add this to-do list to your User page! {{Wikipedia:WikiProject_Biography/Arts and entertainment/Announcements}}
The general outline and collection has been started, but if you would like to expand and organize a discipline, here's what you do. Right below the page heading for the discipline insert this: {{subst: Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Work groups/Division banner}} and save. This will put a rough outline together for you and then you can edit it to conform to your area. See Writers and critics below for an example. If your project grows large enough where it's taking up a good portion of this page, you should probably move it to a subpage of this page.
You might also want to make a Members section for people to join your specific area!
Any article related to this work group should be marked by adding |a&e-work-group=yes
to the {{
WPBiography}} project banner at the top of its talk page. This will automatically place it into
Category:Arts and entertainment work group articles. Articles can be assessed for priority within this work group by using the |a&e-priority=
parameter. See
Template:WikiProject Biography/doc for detailed instructions on how to use the banner.

François Vaillancourt
I have carried out WP:BEFORE on this article about an artist, and not found any references from reliable, independent sources to add. I do not see that he meets WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO or WP:ARTIST. NB an earlier version of the article says the artist has worked on cover art for sci-fi books, so have sorted this in to that category. Tacyarg ( talk) 21:50, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
Jite AgbroAfDs for this article:
Main reason is that the subject fails all 4 criteria of WP:ARTIST and the article reads like a Vanity page with the addition of the website and specific details such as "Agbro focuses on non-verbal communication and the idea that everyone presents themselves within a system" which is taken from non-independent/bias non-reliable references (museum which exposed the work of the subject). The subject fails WP:NBIO with lacking significant coverage WP:SIGCOV. Lekkha Moun ( talk) 14:39, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
Moppi Productions
I wasn't able to find significant coverage of the subject in reliable sources and what's linked in the article doesn't establish notability. There isn't significant coverage of the group in Freax: The Brief History of the Demoscene, Volume 1 (2005) by Tamás Polgár , only a single mention. One can find mentions elsewhere, like in this Tivi (magazine) article. According to a licentiate thesis, "Kurki (2002, p.57–62) used Moppi Productions as a case example when discussing developing visual styles", but I wasn't able to access the work. toweli ( talk) 12:33, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Nominating for article for deletion because there are no references and Wikipedia is not a dictionary WP:NOTDICT -- WomenArtistUpdates ( talk) 21:08, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
Kosmic Free Music Foundation
I was only able to find mentions and brief descriptions (<100 words) of the subject in reliable sources (such as by searching "filetype:pdf "Kosmic Free Music Foundation" " on Google). The article doesn't link to anything that would establish notability. toweli ( talk) 08:00, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Authors / Writers deletion sorting discussions

Geoffrey Girard
Appears to fail WP:GNG & WP:NAUTHOR. Most sources were either WP:INTERVIEWS or simply do not establish notability. Did not find any independent reliable sources. The article itself is very promotional, and was majorly written by individuals using SPAs with a COI that are closely tied to the subject. If article is kept, it will need a major rewrite. ⁂CountHacker ( talk) 08:45, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
Chris Vander Kaay
Mildly promotional biography of a writer fails WP:GNG, WP:NBIO, WP:NWRITER. Sources are all primary (principally WP:INTERVIEWS or the subject's own writing that is not independent) or they are WP:USERGENERATED. No evidence of his books being reviewed by independent reliable sources. Dclemens1971 ( talk) 16:38, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
Paulette Flint
Does not meet WP:AUTHOR and WP:BIO. Many of the citations are primary as her employer is The Observer (Gladstone). Not seeing indepth third party coverage to meet WP:BIO. Also an orphan article. LibStar ( talk) 04:08, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
Paul Jessup (writer)
I have carried out WP:BEFORE on this article about a writer of speculative fiction. I have found and added one reference, but it is either an interview or an article by a friend (named author who introduces the article, but the bulk of it is by Jessup). The article already references the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, which I think is a reliable source, but as the only reference which demonstrates notability I don't think it's fully evidenced. The article only needs a couple of reviews from reliable sources to meet WP:NAUTHOR, but I haven't been able to find any. Unless anyone else can, I don't think the article meets WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO, or WP:NAUTHOR. Tacyarg ( talk) 20:31, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
Jahangir Alam Kabir
Non-notable person. Sources are either unreliable or merely passing mentions. — Yahya ( talk • contribs.) 23:19, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
Imre VallyonAfDs for this article:
I'm nominating this page for deletion again because the initial discussion lacked sufficient engagement and the sources provided were inadequate in both quality and quantity. There's a notable absence of substantial coverage of Imre Vallyon, his work, or his organisation in multiple reliable secondary sources. Meeting notability criteria typically requires presenting at least three such sources. The article from Stuff, while primarily focused on his legal issues, appears to be the only source that meets these criteria. Without it, the page is mostly information sourced by primary sources and a list of his self published books and ebooks. In terms of Vallyon's notability as a writer, the two book reviews presented by Oaktree b in the previous discussion are clearly poor sources, as they seem to be paid content from freelance writers on unreliable websites. Additionally, Vallyon does not meet the criteria for notability as a criminal according to Wikipedia guidelines on crime perpetrators, despite the only significant coverage of him focusing on his legal issues. His organisation, FHL, does not seem to meet the notability standards either. Ynsfial ( talk) 16:55, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
Jonny BenjaminAfDs for this article:
I am the article subject, and I regard myself as a non-notable, private person now, and I want the article to be deleted please Jonnybenjamin ( talk) 19:17, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
Jeffrey VentrellaAfDs for this article:
Fails WP: N. The sourcing on the article is almost entirely primary, and what secondary sources do exist are either not independent or do not cover the subject in depth. I also couldn't find any sources to establish notability either, unfortunately. HyperAccelerated ( talk) 15:29, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
Rakan Daqar
There is no Reliable Sources at all. Untamed1910 ( talk) 22:37, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
Yasmin Nair
Subject does not meet Wikipedia notability standards Floralbergamot ( talk) 20:21, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
Greg KouklAfDs for this article:
No evidence of notability, warning has been in place for over 7 years. I cannot find sources to indicate notability has been attained since the last nomination in 2011, which was closed as no consensus. glman ( talk) 18:43, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
Kade FerrisAfDs for this article:
I believe this article should be deleted because it clearly fails WP:NOTE. OldDiddlyBop ( talk) 11:35, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
Manuel D'Lima
Reviewed during NPP. No evidence of wp:notability under SNG or GNG. None of the sources are about him. Sources (and much of the content) are about taitrs. Material on him is just resume type material. North8000 ( talk) 17:33, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
Mayank Shekhar
Article does not meet WP:GNG and WP:JOURNALIST. Subject did receive an award Ramnath Goenka Award for Excellence in Journalism. Source 1 is a book review, source 2 is a blog, source 3 has a passing comment made by the subject himself, source 4 is a review by subject himself, source 5 is a bio written by subject himself, source 6 is more on bio written by subject himself, source 7 is a link to Ramnath Goenka Award and source 8 is a book written by subject himself. Many unreliable and primary sources here. Draftify would be an option to improve the page with secondary independent sources and remove primary sources like the reviews by the subject himself and the interview with the subject. RangersRus ( talk) 15:39, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
Hafiz Baxish
Zero references to establish notability. After searching, found other people of same name, but no comprehensive, in-depth coverage of this specific person. PROD removed 27 June 2024; PROD reverted 27 October 2022; PROD on 27 October 2022; Created on 27 August 2014. JoeNMLC ( talk) 14:59, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
Brian Campbell (game designer)
I cannot find any independent reliable sources with coverage of Campbell. As one of teams of people, he is credited on multiple notable role-playing games. I think it's stretching
NAUTHOR #3 beyond the intent of that SNG to consider every person who is credited on those games as inherently notable. (
