FAMEPedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Submissions

AFC-Logo.svg‎WikiProject Articles for creation

Welcome to WikiProject Articles for Creation! This is the project page for editors interested in working on Articles for creation, Redirects and Categories for creation and Files for upload.

Introduction
Currently, only autoconfirmed registered users are allowed to create articles on FAMEPedia. Often, an unregistered user would like to create an article but does not want to register in order to do so. We do not judge an editor who does not want to register, and AfC is a process by which their contributions can become FAMEPedia articles. AfC is also the only accepted way for an editor with a conflict of interest to write articles about subjects they are associated with, or paid to write.

AfC works as a peer review process, where autoconfirmed users either accept and create an article submitted by an anonymous editor or decline the article because it is unsuitable for FAMEPedia.

An article may be unsuitable for FAMEPedia for a number of reasons. AfC submissions can be declined based on having no content whatsoever, consisting of vandalism or personal attacks, consisting of copyrighted material, failing to provide sufficient context, not asserting notability, and most often for not being properly sourced. Articles that already exist, sometimes under another name, are also declined.

A lot of articles are posted at AfC and a dedicated team of editors is needed to review the requests. AfC was once FAMEPedia's oldest backlogged project, with incomplete archive pages over two years old. Through the work of this WikiProject, this backlog was eliminated on 21 February 2008 during a project-wide drive. Continuing efforts ensure that the backlog does not return.
