Request for help publishing Jonathan Ressler biography
[edit]Request for experienced editor review and publication — Jonathan Ressler biography Hello. I am requesting help from an experienced editor to review and, if appropriate, move a neutral, fully sourced biography of Jonathan Ressler into mainspace. The draft has been repeatedly declined at Articles for Creation as “not sufficiently sourced,” but the subject clearly meets WP:GNG, WP:BIO, WP:ORG and WP:CREATIVE based on substantial independent coverage and academic analysis. Notability evidence has been compiled here with links to every major source: Notability evidence page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:BringdaThunder/Jonathan_Ressler_Notability
Neutral draft biography (clean, manually written, fully cited, no promotional language): Draft article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:BringdaThunder/Jonathan_Ressler_Bio
The sources include two New York Times features, a Wall Street Journal feature, a Bloomberg BusinessWeek feature, a Time magazine feature, national Fox News and CNN coverage, an investigative feature in Maisonneuve, analysis in PR Watch, law review discussion in the UC Davis Business Law Journal and Brooklyn Law School’s Journal of Law and Policy, a Lund University thesis, and an interview appearance in the documentary “The Corporation,” used in university teaching materials. Because AfC has become adversarial in this case and is no longer engaging with the sources on policy grounds, I am asking for: A fresh review by an uninvolved, experienced editor, and Movement of the draft to mainspace if the sourcing is judged to meet notability. Thank you very much for any help. BringdaThunder (talk) 01:26, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

Discussion about WikiProject banner templates
[edit]For WikiProjects that participate in rating articles, the banners for talk pages usually say something like:
- "This article has been rated as Low-importance on the importance scale."
There is a proposal to change the default wording on the banners to say "priority" instead of "importance". This could affect the template for your group. Please join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council#Proposal to update wording on WikiProject banners.

Predrag Nikolic
[edit]I've prepared a draft biography of an academic/artist with full citations. As I'm the spouse, I'd appreciate if a neutral editor could review or submit it.
This article establishes a new biography for Predrag K. Nikolić, a Serbian new-media artist, interaction designer, and academic. The subject meets Wikipedia's notability criteria for academics and artists through:
1. **Significant peer-reviewed publications**: Multiple first-author papers in ACM and Springer journals/conferences (e.g., Proc. ACM Comput. Graph. Interact. Tech., Mobile Networks and Applications), indexed in DBLP and Google Scholar.
2. **International exhibition record**: Repeated participation in major festivals including Ars Electronica (2018, 2019, 2022, 2023) and SIGGRAPH/SIGGRAPH Asia (2018, 2020, 2023), which are globally recognized venues for digital art.
3. **Academic leadership**: Current position as Associate Professor and Head of School at Swinburne University of Technology, and role as Editor-in-Chief of "EAI Endorsed Transactions on Creative Technologies".
4. **Independent reliable sources**: Information is sourced from university websites, academic databases, and festival archives rather than primarily from the subject's own site.
The article follows Wikipedia's manual of style, includes proper inline citations using recognized templates, maintains a neutral point of view, and avoids original research. All major claims are supported by verifiable references.

If someone has time, this article is rather an embarrassment because Samson was a prominent thoracic and cardiac surgeon with a medical society named after him. He was chief of surgery at the hospital at Samuel Merritt University and also was on the faculty at Stanford University School of Medicine. In 1946 he founded the thoracic and cardiac surgery training program at Highland Hospital. One of the problems with all of these Olympics sports stubs is that editors often don't look to see if the person was more notable in something else besides being an Olympic athlete. There's a decent obituary on him in Dr. Paul C. Samson, Oakland Tribune, February 12, 1982, page 4 viewable in newspapers.com. I suggest a re-naming of the title because he certainly was better known as a doctor than an athlete. I'm going to leave similar messages at a few other WikiProjects.

Draft:Irving Maidman needing info and expansion
[edit]A while ago, I’ve submitted a biography draft dedicated to the Russian(?)-American businessman and real-estate developer Irving Maidman, but I’ve never actually gotten started on it. The only reason I know who he was was because of his tenure for the New York, Susquehanna and Western Railway, but when I searched his name on Wikipedia, the results showed that he was also relevant for multiple notable locations in New York, including (but not limited to) the Benjamin Royal Sonesta New York, Paramount Hotel, Ambassador Theatre (Broadway), Sony Hall, Port Authority Bus Terminal, West Side Airlines Terminal, and the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre. If anyone, and I mean anyone has any additional insight for Maidman’s biography and career, I would highly appreciate it if you’d expand the draft with it. Thank you in advance.

Potential errata in Armand Richard
[edit]I am currently working on Deaths in March 1982 and came across the Armand Richard article. I accessed the cited obituary which incidentally is not in the Moncton Times Transcript (which didn't form until October 1982) but was in fact published in it predecessor The Moncton Transcript on March 31, 1982, page 42 (viewable in newspapers.com). It's not at all clear to me that this obit is the same Armand Richard. The obituary states he was born not in Acadieville, New Brunswick (which is where the parliament politician was born) but in Rogersville, New Brunswick. Additionally, the obit, which gives a fairly full account of his life, makes zero mention of his ever serving in the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick. In short, we may be confusing two entirely different men with the same name. If that is the case than the death date for the politician is likely not true as well as much of the claims about family, children, and being a farmer which all are taken from the obit. Now it is of course possible that some sort of error was reported in the obituary, and that the gaps in content are explainable, but as it currently stands it is not at all conclusive that the content we have is in fact accurate and that the two sources are about the same person. I placed this same message on the New Brunswick wikiproject talk page. Any help confirming these sources are about the same person would be helpful.4meter4 (talk) 17:42, 31 December 2025 (UTC)
