Please do not write articles that advocate one particular viewpoint on deaf, politics, religion, or anything else. Understand what we mean by a neutral point of view WP:NPV before tackling/editing this sort of topic. |

Goals
- To improve the overall quality of articles relating to sign languages, Deaf culture and deafness.
- To encourage collaboration and the formation of a community of Deaf, hard of hearing and interested Hearing wikipedians.
- To achieve a consensus from a wider group on what are sometimes controversial topics, emphasising a representation from Deaf/deaf and hard of hearing people.
- To improve the relevant content from all regions of the world.
- To integrate all the articles into a consistent classification schema (e.g. category hierarchies).
Projects
- (proposed) Sign languages and linguistics. Establish conventions for sign language pages and implement them (a draft page is now online at Wikipedia:WikiProject Languages/Template (sign language)). Give examples of different sign languages with images and video samples. Also, create a network of pages on sign language linguistics.
- (proposed) NPOV. Manage pages to insure that all aspects of deafness are addressed in a NPOV, i.e.- both medical and cultural.
- Formulate conventions on terminology ("hearing loss", "hearing impairment", hard of hearing, deaf/Deaf, hearing/Hearing, etc.) and apply throughout Wikipedia.
- Discuss possible redirects and disambiguation.
Tasks
- Create articles from red links on list of sign languages.
- Develop examples/descriptions of Deaf culture in Deaf culture.
- list of films and literature
- Add {{WikiProjectDeaf}} at the top of the talk page of deaf related articles.
- Find pictures and videos of sign languages.
- Education:
- Deaf history: Frederick J. Rose, History of sign language, Harlan Lane
- Expand and maintain the article on recognition of sign languages.
- Expand Telecommunications Relay Service and replace its copyrighted images with free ones.

- May I recommend that we break up Deaf history into one or more of the following focus

- History of training teachers for the deaf Deaf education#History and creating the ==History== section yourself.
- History of children receiving Deaf culture training, in Deaf culture#History
- History of Deaf educational institutions and schools, in Schools for the deaf#History
- --Egberts (talk) 19:35, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
- National Theatre for the Deaf just linked to on American Sign Language Literature. Definitely meets notability requirements. Docmcconl (talk) 03:50, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
- Articles linked from Laurent Clerc Award probably need to be created, as they are probably prominent and notable figures. Disavian (talk) 00:08, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
- Dimitra Arapoglou (IT), an Woman Deaf politician greek --SurdusVII (talk) 17:03, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
Category
Please note that the Wikipedians only want to see new categories that are 'notable'. The explanation at WP:OCTrivial is worth noting: "Avoid intersections of two traits that are unrelated, even if some person can be found that has both traits. For example, celebrities are usually notable for reasons other than being gamers." So while Marlee Matlin really is notable for being a deaf actress, people in occupations like astronomy or book binding are not, to choose two of the more extreme cases above.
