About the project
This project was born on June 20th, 2021. It is an arbitrary long-term goal I have set for myself (although other people are welcome to help out, of course!) to improve the coverage of mensae on Mars. It is a sad fact that the mensae will probably never have enough information about them to reach featured article status, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be improved! The overarching goal of this project is to get all of the mensae to GA-class.

Mensae without articles
Juventae Mensa, Nia Mensa

Many more; there are 38 in total (oh god).

I suspect (and hope) most of these won’t need articles, and can just have a blurb in the list of mensae on mars.

I have tried to assess notability below; if more than or equal to 5 pages of google scholar articles, I labeled it notable. Of course, content matters, and so it may be that something is not notable after all, or is notable when I thought it wasn’t.

In this section I will cite some papers that I believe have broad applicability to the mensae.

This paper investigates ancient river deltas at the mensae.
