    I’m happy to see that the draft for the Lemmy article that I started came in useful.

    I was under impression that the process on Wikipedia is that draft gets improved until it gets accepted. But ok, going directly for an article seems to work as well.

    Since draft is no longer useful, it should probably be deleted, right? Any idea how to request it’s deletion? I checked around some templates. There is a not-yet-accepted template for proposed draft deletion and a rejected template for proposed draft deletion. So I have no idea what the actual current process for proposing draft deletion is.

    Now let us observe how much more activity will there be around this article now.

    I just realized that only Lemmy wiki article before the english one was in basque.

      That was my first thought, but it looks like there’s at least 5 non-lemmy sources. I don’t know what the minimum is though.

        Minimum is 3 “notable” mentions of the subject in different sources. For new editors, the standard is ~5 good sources for the submission to be accepted. “Established” editors don’t need peer review to publish an article, hence me being able to publish it.

          I am not surprised that they implemented that. Back when I was more involved, they would frequently get articles from people publishing their obscure business. There were frequent speedy deletion discussions that pretty much just involved telling someone that their advertisement did not qualify as a Wikipedia article.

    This is great! Thanks for creating this page.

    I noticed on the Fediverse page that other projects like pleroma, honk, and zap don’t even have articles. That’s pretty disappointing since pleroma has been around nearly as long as mastodon and the other two have been around a while too (though not nearly as long). I tried writing a pleroma article years ago, but there weren’t enough references and frustratingly, I don’t think much has changed since then.

    Awesome! Now we need more languages! Do you know if it is required to have sources about lemmy in any specific language in order to make an article or it is enough to have English ones?

    This is great! Love having something I can send people when trying to introduce them other than me trying to explain it.
