Proposed deletion of Kim Lowe


The article Kim Lowe has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Does not meet GNG."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Kim Lowe moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Kim Lowe, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. --- Possibly (talk) 04:10, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for letting me know. I have added more credible citations to support this notable artist. Hopefully it is enough to have this promoted to published stub status in Wikipedia. KiwiKA (talk) 23:04, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

Draft:Kim Lowe
Hi. I think the notability of the above draft is pretty borderline. However, I recall seeing somewhere that she is in a public museum collection. if you can find two public museum collections, then notability is guaranteed. Private collections have no notability value and are usually not listed, as they're private. --- Possibly (talk) 20:26, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
 * PS: do you have any connection to Kim Lowe? I saw you were editing Ara Institute of Canterbury, which is where Lowe works. If you have a connection you just need to declare that on your user page, see WP:COI. Thanks. --- Possibly (talk) 20:31, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi. thanks for feedback. I am new to this as you can tell but am working with a small group led by more experienced WP contributors here at Ara to add our notable staff and alumni. I will take all this back to our monthly meeting as it will be good learning for me. Does the University of Canterbury "silence of the brush" exhibition not qualify as public enough as well as authoritative? Also surely the fact she won a significant award in the art world - would not that be enough for notability? I can also talk with our Wiki group about COI. I don't know Kim Lowe personally and have never met her though we work in the same institute. What would my COI look like in my talk page? Can you give me an example. Any feedback greatly appreciated. All good learning for me. KiwiKA (talk) 20:59, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Te Manahau (Scotty) Morrison


A tag has been placed on Te Manahau (Scotty) Morrison requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion".

Christchurch Wikipedia Meetups


Kia ora! For the first half of 2024 I'm the Aotearoa Wikipedian-at-Large, based in Christchurch and funded by a grant from Wikimedia Aotearoa New Zealand. As part of the project I'm running regular meetups in Tūranga where local Wikipedians can meet, chat, help each other out and collaborate on projects. I'll also be organising edit-a-thons, wikiblitzes, and training for new editors. The goal is to grow the editor community in Christchurch and convince local institutions that Wikipedia is worth taking seriously.

We're having an initlal coffee in Foundation Cafe on Sunday 18 February to talk about what Christchurch Wikipedians might like to do; come along if you're free, or drop me a line at if you have ideas or suggestions.


 * Initial meetup: Sunday 18 February, 10:00–12:00, Foundation Cafe, Tūranga

We'll be holding a Christchurch meetup every 4 weeks, modelled on the successful Wellington monthly meetups that have been a big part of growing the Wikimedia community in Wellington and New Zealand. These will be both a coffee chat and a chance for collaborative work in the library's 4th floor workspace. The first two will be:


 * Sunday 17 March, 10:00–12:00, Foundation Cafe, Tūranga (Event page)
 * Sunday 14 April, 10:00–12:00, Foundation Cafe, Tūranga (Event page)

You can keep track of upcoming events at the Aotearoa Wikipedian at Large Event page, see monthly reports at This Month In GLAM (e.g. January 2024), and join the monthly Aotearoa online meetup. —Giantflightlessbirds (talk)
