Draft:Betty Fiechter

There's an ongoing draft about Swiss businesswoman Betty Fiechter here. There is a bit of English-language coverage but I can't find enough for WP:GNG - It looks like there is a good bit of foreign-language coverage, especially in French. Any help uncovering those sources would be much appreciated! ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)^{Talk to Me!} 19:06, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

To start with, these two pieces ([1], [2]) from the Daily Telegraph should be helpful. Silverseren^C 19:55, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

As far as I can tell, these are advertisements for the Ladybird line of watches and not actual journalism. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)^{Talk to Me!} 20:02, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

@ThadeusOfNazereth: have you looked at the references for the French article. The most promising link is

• BEATRIZ ROLDÁN (2022-08-15). "Betty Fiechter, la primera mujer en la cumbre de la relojería suiza". El Mundo (in Spanish). Retrieved 2023-12-11. (headed Lifestyle)
• "Des femmes d'exception : Betty Fiechter (4/5)". Radio Jura bernois (in French). 2022-07-25. Retrieved 2022-11-14. audio in French with text summary, seems to be an interview with a former employee
• I checked tellerreport.com on archive.org and it looked like a translation of El Mundo

Thank you for those - I was able to use both of them in the article. Right now it's in a very borderline state where I think she meets WP:GNG but I sort of doubt AFD would agree. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)^{Talk to Me!} 17:20, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Any luck with searching her full name Berthe-Marie Fiechter? Thriley (talk) 22:57, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

I tried searching a Swiss newspaper archive for Betty Fiechter and got this. Sixteen results, one in 1996 about her monument at Villeret, one in 2021 about an exhibition of 5 statues, also less useful stuff like a burglary and a car accident. Nothing for Berthe-Marie Fiechter. TSventon (talk) 23:36, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Not really. There is a very detailed profile here but it's a primary source so I hadn't incorporated it yet. Some mild coverage from the Swiss government here and a couple mentions in lifestyle magazines that don't meet WP:RS. The newspaper coverage above appears decent but I'll have to do some translation. I appreciate all the helpfulness! ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)^{Talk to Me!} 23:40, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Her NY Times obituary, while run under the paper’s “Overlooked No More” series, seems to demonstrate her notability in my opinion. I’ve never seen an article deleted for someone with an obit in The Times. Thriley (talk) 00:01, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! Article is now live in mainspace :) ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)^{Talk to Me!} 04:12, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

Urdu translation Fakhra Younas / Fakhra Younus

Question for the hive mind: Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Missing articles by nationality/Pakistan lists Fakhra Younas as a red link. English wikipedia has an article for Fakhra Younus. I don't read Urdu. Does anyone know if this is the same person? Fakhra Younas (Q3738509) I think so, but don't want to create a redirect if I am wrong. There's also an article in Italian. Thanks in advance for any advice. --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 23:17, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

@WomenArtistUpdates: The en article and the it article via Google translate are obviously about the same woman, so I have merged the Wikipedia items. It is possible that Italian and English romanise Urdu slightly differently. TSventon (talk) 00:01, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

 Done Thanks for the merge TSventon, I agree that the romaization was slightly different. --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 00:13, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
