Does anyone know what's going on with the Spanish Wikipedia? The last two
articles I created, of Laxmi_Aggarwal and Maha Al Muneef--women who have
been awarded the International Women of Courage Award--have been nominated
for speedy deletion as not being encyclopedic. See my talk page
maybe a note to leigh themadattar User:Thelmadatter?

Yes, ask Leigh. I heard previously that Spanish Wikipedia has some eager
deletionists, as English.Wikipedia does also.

Interesting, thanks for the links! We also now have mix-n-match and Charles
Matthews has matched the complete Oxford Dictionary of National Biography,
With autolist I could probably look at those male-female ratios per
occupation. Might be interesting. I don't know how to get at the deleted

of MacArthur Fellows.
you could study differential deletions of them or Fellows of the Royal
Society.

Hi Joseph,
That would be fine for established articles, but in my experience most new bios
that get speedy deleted within a day or two of creation don't ever get an
infobox added.

I agree about the double standard, I've seen it applied all too often on
Wikipedia. I was just asking what specific articles were being affected.

Inclusionism and deletionism is a longstanding battleground where the community
is awfully inconsistent. I decline a fair few incorrect speedy deletion tags,
some of them so egregious it is very hard to assume good faith and not treat
the tagger as a vandal.

I remember NOT commenting on that one because I figured,
Can anyone point to where this troll behavior happened? There don't seem
to be a lot of specifics in this article, and I'm wondering if it's gender
trolls (which are, alas, plentiful) or a culture clash between old editors
and new ones over unfamiliar policies?

One can always just study the relevant articles.
But often it's a double standard in application of policies.
So if it's a guy architect with a couple low quality refs,
people won't even bother to notice or respond.
But if it's a woman architect with 7 or 8 solid ones,
it becomes a cause celebre
