Plastique Tiara
Can someone else please revert Plastique Tiara to the redirect? I don't want to be accused of edit warring, but Plastique Tiara clearly does not deserve an article yet. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 22:27, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 01:07, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

Contestant progress table

Thanks! --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 22:23, 7 March 2019 (UTC) I believe this show is a television special. It has nothing to do with drag racing or all stars. -- Happypillsjr    ✉    09:34, 9 March 2019 (UTC)

Plastique Tiara, Part II
Again, asking project member to keep an eye on Plastique Tiara. Someone keeps trying to create an article from the redirect, and Plastique Tiara is clearly not notable enough for an article yet. I'd appreciate help restoring the redirect when appropriate so I'm not accused of edit warring. Thanks! --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 16:56, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

Part III
Plastique Tiara is back. While I'm still not sure the article clearly establishes notability, this is a much better attempt than before. I'm not going to revert immediately, and I invite other editors to review as well. I've noted the article needs an image on the talk page. Thanks! --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 18:19, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
 * After reviewing, the article's sources are very weak at this point. I could easily see this be put up for AfD, and I couldn't argue 'Keep' with these sources. The only substantive sources focusing on Plastique (rather than lists of contestants) are Saigoneer, The Hollywood Reporter, Patrick Starr (social media), and Kenh14. And, as the sources indicate, she's done nothing other than appear on RPDR, and simply competing isn't enough (without substantive coverage). In short, I don't think it meets GNG as it stands.--Kbabej (talk) 14:46, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
 * , Thanks for reviewing sourcing. I'm not opposed to redirecting if you feel strongly this is the best move for now. I'd rather not deal with an unnecessary AfD when redirecting is an option. That being said, there may be more coverage about her in the very near future, so maybe we can add a tag to the top of the article in the meantime? --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 14:59, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I found another source focusing on her, which I've added. When I get home tonight I'll do some digging and ideally find some more. I think you're right more coverage will be forthcoming very soon, so perhaps best to just let it be for the moment and add sources as they pop up. --Kbabej (talk) 15:11, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

Collaboration of the month?
Curious, are project members interested in having a collaboration of the month? We can all work together to improve a Wikipedia article related to RPDR each month. Hopefully we could even promote articles to quality status. For many of the queens, there's not an overwhelming amount of coverage, so I could see us having success expanding them to GA quality. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 03:01, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Let's do this! -- Happypillsjr    ✉    12:18, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Glad there's interest. I'm not sure how we want to select collaborations, but I propose we focus on Victoria "Porkchop" Parker, the very first contestant eliminated from the series, as our first effort for the month of March. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 15:19, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Actually, I see has already made some improvements! Perhaps we should consider Porkchop the February collaboration, and see what we can do over the next few days? --- Another Believer  ( Talk ) 17:40, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

February 2019

 * Great work on improving Victoria "Porkchop" Parker during February (before, after)! Unless another project member has another queen in mind, I propose we focus on Delta Work for the month of March. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 15:32, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Delta sounds like a plan! Good job on Porkchop! --Kbabej (talk) 16:35, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

"Trump: The Rusical"
Maybe I'm crazy but I feel like there might be enough content and coverage to justify creating an article specifically about "Trump: The Rusical". I invite project members to help create an article about this episode and musical, which is an opportunity for us to determine what an individual episode about RPDR might look like. Thanks! --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 03:36, 22 March 2019 (UTC)

Vivacious
Are you willing to restore the Vivacious (drag queen) content? I understand the respect the AfD decision, but there was no need to remove the article's history altogether. Open to restoring in the draft space, if preferred. The article history for Plastique Tiara was recently restored, would appreciate your help here as well. Thanks. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 17:17, 29 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Given the twisted history of Plastique Tiara, I'm hesitant to do another undelete, which may just lead to more recreations despite the AfD outcome (which specifically was "delete and redirect". --Randykitty (talk) 17:47, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
 * , I understand recreations might be a problem because of one specific IP editor. However, I still think the article's history should be kept, and there were enough keep votes to justify preservation for possible future expansion. I'm also open to protecting the page so the redirect can't be turned into an article by the problematic editor (similar to Plastique Tiara). Will this work for you? --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 18:02, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
 * It appears that IP is now blocked with account creation blocked, anyway. No one else attempted to recreate the Plastique article as anything other than a redirect. Armadillopteryxtalk 18:07, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
 * , Yeah, we shouldn't let one problematic editor make things more difficult for the rest of us who are trying to do good. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 18:08, 29 May 2019 (UTC)


 * This is a partial truth. Once the Plastique article was restored by the IP, you happily edited it, despite being aware of the AfD decision. I'm not going to undelete the article history. Feel free to take this to WP:DRV. --Randykitty (talk) 18:14, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
 * , Yes, I made some edits while comparing previous versions of the article, and trying to understand what was new content and/or sourcing. This was a work in progress, and I was not ignoring the AfD result. Also, we're discussing Vivacious here, not Plastique. I'm disappointed by your reply, but I will go to DRV. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 18:18, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Actually, sorry, I don't think I'll go to DRV. I'm not looking to overturn the result, I just want the history restored, so I'll try to figure out where to submit that request. Thanks. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 18:20, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

You're not involved, as far as I know, but I am wondering if you might be willing to restore the Vivacious (drag queen) article history. I'd like to have the markup preserved for possible future expansion, and I'm open to having the markup moved into the draft space and/or keeping the Vivacious (drag queen) page protected to hinder page recreation. In my opinion, the article history did not need to be deleted in order for the AfD result to be respected, but the deleting admin does not seem willing to honor my request. If you don't wish to get involved, perhaps you can remind me where to submit a request? I believe you helped me with a similar situation before, hence why I'm asking you now. Thanks! --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 18:27, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Pinging you as well, given your involvement with the Plastique Tiara article and the block on the IP editor. Would you be open to the same sort of restoration/protection for the Vivacious (drag queen) page? --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 18:32, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
 * As you know, I thought that restoring the history of Plastique Tiara was not a good idea, but I agreed to do so because I didn't think it worth the hassle of arguing the case. Restoring this one is just as likely to be harmful, and even less defensible, since, as has pointed out, the AfD decision was explicitly delete and redirect. I would certainly not have restored the other one had the AfD close been the same there, nor would I have done so had I known that you would use it as a precedent to try to get the same done to this article. You consulted the deleting administrator, which was fine, but when you got the answer "no" you should either have accepted that or, if you thought she was wrong by Wikipedia policy, then taken it to deletion review. Instead, you decided to look for another administrator who you thought would overturn her decision. You chose two administrators who had previously done something similar for you. If you have not already done so then please read WP:ADMINSHOP, which will tell you Wikipedia policy on the practice of trying one administrator after another in the hope of finding one who will do what you want. That policy applies especially strongly in the case of deliberately selecting administrators who, on the basis of past experience you think are likely to support your position; it amounts to Canvassing. JamesBWatson (talk) 20:19, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
 * , Ok, sure! I thought I was supposed to start seeking deletion review with the deleting admin, but that didn't mean I couldn't go elsewhere if they declined. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I still disagree, but I'll move on to other things. Also, I didn't think you'd agree with me, I just thought you could weigh in based on your actions against the IP editor.

There are now several articles about specific RPDR episodes (see musicals section above), but "Social Media Kings Into Queens" is my first attempt at an article about a regular episode, but one featuring several notable guests. I invite project members to take a look and help improve -- it'd be nice to have a good example/template to use for other episode articles. (BTW, if you have a favorite episode you'd like to write about, be bold!

Proposed move for Aja, from Aja (drag queen) to Aja (entertainer)
I post this because I think the scope of this proposal is bigger than simply the people who visit the talk page of the article.

In summary, Aja has expressed no longer identifying as a drag queen and being more focused on a music career and burlesque performances. We oppened a move proposal that will be watched by admins until a consensus about the move is reached. I think input from the community overall would be valuable. You can find it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Aja_(drag_queen)#Requested_move_11_January_2020

We'll appreciate your opinions.

Collaboration for January 2020: Kimora Blac
Happy New Year, and happy editing! --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 18:39, 1 January 2020 (UTC)


 * An overriding concern was WP:TOOSOON, given the month and a half since I felt enough time had passed, and new sources had only affirmed the content as accurate. Gleeanon409 (talk) 21:36, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
 * , I assume this is about the "DragCon UK" discussion above, and not Kimora Blac? --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 21:45, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, that’s so strange! I edit on my phone and sometimes the editing programming does odd maneuvers. Gleeanon409 (talk) 21:49, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

RPDR Pit crews
I think this could be an interesting article, even if brief(s)! Gleeanon409 (talk) 17:23, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
 * , I agree. Shawn Morales is even independently notable, and now there's a Brit Crew to describe as well. I think Pit Crew (RuPaul's Drag Race) might be the best way to disambiguate from Pit crew, which currently redirects to Pit stop. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 18:51, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

Draft
I've setup a draft page at Draft:Pit Crew (RuPaul's Drag Race), which is where I recommend we draft before moving into the main space so the page is not nominated for deletion as a work in progress. This will be the Collaboration of the Month for February, but I invite project members to help whenever! --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 22:02, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
 * I’ve been working on a draft for a few days now as well and boldly launched it at Pit Crew (RuPaul’s Drag Race). Can we incorporate your draft items into it? Specifically the images? I’ve already found most of the sources above but I’ll recheck to see if there is more info I missed. Gleeanon409 (talk) 22:41, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
 * , Ah, ok! --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 00:12, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

... and we're live!
I moved the page, so to avoid confusion, project members can contribute to the live article at Pit Crew (RuPaul's Drag Race). Thanks! --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 00:14, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

I've restored this article. IMO, there's sufficient coverage, and the editor most opposed to the article's existence has retired, so I'm being bold here and hope other project members will come help out a little so the article is more likely to be kept. Thank you. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 20:05, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

RuPaul's Celebrity Drag Race
Halleloo! RuPaul's Celebrity Drag Race --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 23:03, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

Category for RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars?
Should we create Category:RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars?

Furthermore, should we create subcategories for Category:RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars contestants and Category:RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars seasons?

I think this would help clean up Category:RuPaul's Drag Race a bit, but I also think some editors unfamiliar with the franchise might find the proposed subcategories duplicates of Category:RuPaul's Drag Race contestants and Category:RuPaul's Drag Race seasons.

Thoughts? --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 23:14, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Support. Gleeanon409 (talk) 17:23, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Support. Theoretically, it is a separate show.Naraht (talk) 06:19, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks, both. I've created the parent category and a subcategory for seasons, and will tackle contestants (with a subcategory for winners) soon unless someone beats me to the punch. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 08:04, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
