Hi, Merrilee, and thanks. Anything to get people started.
Can you say more about what the number represents? Is it the person as
author, as subject? Does it include journal articles?
Thanks,
kc

Hi all, my OCLC colleague Chris Cyr and I have been workshopping an idea
with Rosie Stephenson-Goodknight and Rob Fernandez -- that is
incorporating library holdings from WorldCat into the Women in Red
Redlists. We acknowledge that WorldCat holdings aren't perfect, and that
they certainly aren't a surefire way of indicating notability --
however, they may be helpful in guiding editors (in the same way that
other indicators in these lists might inspire an editor to get started
-- for example, site links, a photo, country of origin etc.)
If you are interested in exploring this topic with us for your own gap
area, please let me know. We have developed a methodology for getting
the holdings numbers via OpenRefine so you can incorporate this into
your own projects.
You can see some example of this at:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Women_in_Red/Missing_articles_by_occupation/Gender_Studies#Wikidata_list
Note that the examples have taken the OpenRefine outputs and
incorporated them into Wikidata -- so work is required on your end to
get this product!
Best,
Merrilee
