Since biographies are potentially under the purview of almost all WikiProjects, it is important that we work in tandem with these projects. Also, when seeking collaboration on articles, don't neglect to approach WikiProjects that are part of the geographical region your subject is/was in.
Increase the exposure of our work group by nominating our articles for their Portal FA and DYKs... Specific discipline portals are listed in that section.

Directions for expanding any division below
editThe general outline and collection has been started, but if you would like to expand and organize a discipline, here's what you do. Right below the page heading for the discipline insert this: {{subst:Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Work groups/Division banner}} and save. This will put a rough outline together for you and then you can edit it to conform to your area. See Writers and critics below for an example. If your project grows large enough where it's taking up a good portion of this page, you should probably move it to a subpage of this page.
You might also want to make a Members section for people to join your specific area!
Tagging articles
editAny article related to this work group should be marked by adding |a&e-work-group=yes
to the {{WPBiography}} project banner at the top of its talk page. This will automatically place it into Category:Arts and entertainment work group articles. Articles can be assessed for priority within this work group by using the |a&e-priority=
parameter. See Template:WikiProject Biography/doc for detailed instructions on how to use the banner.

WP:POVFORK of Benin Bronzes#Subsequent sales, restitutions and repatriations with biased language such as
Unfortunately, after looking around for sources to the best of my ability, searching under both English and Japanese names, I can't find any good sources for this film. The other-language equivalents of this article appear about as barren of useful references as this is (although the Japanese article is about the anthology series of films that this is part of, rather than the film by itself). The only reference I do know of is this article about Saeko: Giantess Dating Sim which briefly mentions it, but obviously that doesn't pass SIGCOV. If anyone can find any good sources, I'd be happy to see this kept, but as the situation stands I'm not seeing it. silviaASH (inquire within) 20:37, 13 June 2025 (UTC)

Authorsedit
Fails WP:GNG. I was unable to find any significant coverage about this guy, only very small mentions. This article is full of original research and failed verifications. WhoIsCentreLeft (talk) 19:51, 9 July 2025 (UTC)
Lacks notability. Article does not create any value or addition to encyclopedia. Neither has independent in depth coverage. There appears to have promotional intent. WikiMentor01 (talk) 11:42, 9 July 2025 (UTC)
There do not appear to be sufficient reliable sources available to support GNG for this subject; the sources cited are self-published, minor mentions, or unreliable. Nikkimaria (talk) 00:11, 9 July 2025 (UTC)
I am nominating this article for deletion because it does not meet Wikipedia’s general notability guideline. Most content relies on primary or self-published sources, and there is no evidence of significant, independent coverage in reliable sources. Much of the article’s content is sourced from Mona Parsa’s personal website or press releases. There is no evidence of significant coverage in independent, reliable media sources (news outlets, magazines, scholarly journals) about her work, impact, or career. While she has written a children’s book, hosted events, and worked as an attorney, there is no indication of sustained, independent coverage showing influential impact in her field. Llajwa (talk) 02:21, 8 July 2025 (UTC)
I have carried out WP:BEFORE for this article about a former journalist who is now a crime writer and press officer. I cannot find significant coverage to add. All I found was this brief review in a local paper of one of his books, with no actual content about him. The existing sources are Goodreads, Amazon, and a decent piece of coverage in another local paper, albeit based on an interview. This isn't enough for the article to meet WP:GNG, and he doesn't meet WP:NAUTHOR or WP:ANYBIO. Tacyarg (talk) 05:57, 6 July 2025 (UTC)
There is almost nothing (in secondary RS) about this author (presumably a historian), with most of the article dedicated to their fringe theory (their so-called "Petra thesis") M.Bitton (talk) 15:41, 5 July 2025 (UTC)
A non-notable person with all primary sources. Page was a draft but was manually moved to mainspace by draft author, despite declines. qcne (talk) 16:30, 5 July 2025 (UTC)
AfDs for this article:
Highly promotional and of questionable WP:SUSTAINED notability. Amigao (talk) 18:18, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
The subject was not notable as an accountant. None of his writings are sufficiently noteworthy to meet the requirements of Wikipedia:AUTHOR. WWGB (talk) 06:53, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
This article fails to establish notability. The only sources to account for this person's existence are mainly their own social media pages and blog posts. Plasticwonder (talk) 13:51, 3 July 2025 (UTC)
The sources lack in-depth coverage, and some are interviews. The creator has opposed the redirect restoration and wants an AfD. - The9Man Talk 11:19, 30 June 2025 (UTC)
Fails WP:NBIO and WP:CLERGY (note that the role of bishop in the LDS church closer to that of a Catholic Priest or a Methodist Minister, serving a only a local congregation, than to that of, e.g., a Catholic bishop, which is presumed notable). Sources consist of two articles mentioning Hamilton joining and leaving the Utah Parole board and his current employer's website. Jbt89 (talk) 18:31, 29 June 2025 (UTC)
No WP:SIGCOV, fails WP:GNG ProtobowlAddict talk! 17:20, 28 June 2025 (UTC)
AfDs for this article:
Recently nominated for deletion by Scientelensia, who's rationale still holds true: "is of no relevance or notability, reads like a CV rather than a Wikipedia page." Currently only primary sources. My searches turned up the same thing as Oaktree's during the prior AfD: "I can only bring up articles or opinion pieces written by this person, nothing about them... I suppose if more book reviews are found, could have a chance at AUTHOR, but I couldn't find any." Onel5969 TT me 11:09, 28 June 2025 (UTC)
Non-notable musician. Fails Wp:GNG and Wp:NMUSIC. No SIGCOV is available, just passing mentions and routine PR articles for the releases. There are two award nominations as well but both of them are non-notable and just nominations. Also, the article's creator was blocked as a sock and UPE. Zuck28 (talk) 20:20, 27 June 2025 (UTC)
Having gone through the available source material, I have been unable to find anything to establish significant coverage of this person in reliable sources. His main work of note was a single book about social anarchism, which has received some attention but not much more than a passing reference in most sources (see Google Scholar results). David Wieck's obituary for the Social Anarchism journal, listed in the further reading, appears to be the only work specifically about Baldelli that could lead to any development of this article. As this article appears not to meet the notability guidelines for authors, I'm recommending it for deletion. A possible alternative to deletion could be redirecting to social anarchism, although he's not mentioned in the body of that article, so this may not be appropriate. Grnrchst (talk) 21:48, 19 June 2025 (UTC)
Fails WP:AUTHOR. Lacks SIGCOV in independent sources; I searched Google News and ProQuest. However, he contributed a screenplay to the 1981 film "Fiul munților", which is potentially notable. —LastJabberwocky (Rrarr) 11:55, 18 June 2025 (UTC)
