Notability (deciding who 'deserves' their own page)

[edit]

Not everyone who contributed photographs to the Conway Library will be considered 'notable' by the Wikipedia community. See these guides for what constitutes a notable academic, and on notability in general. Of course, some of the criteria serve as barriers especially for women and PoC, so it is up to us to pull together the evidence from around the internet and put our case forward! You might find that a page you create or edits you make are challenged, so be prepared to state your case (and ask for help from fellow Conway Library project members if you're not sure what to do).
