Draftification of A Court of Thorns and Roses (novel)

[edit]

Hi there @Alex 21!

I see that you've turned my article on A Court of Thorns and Roses into a draft, but your edit summary isn't very informative: "Please expand upon properly". The article cites a couple of reviews, which demonstrates that the topic is notable, and it contains an accurate summary of the novel, within the word-count guidelines. I recognise that much more could be said about this novel, but why not mark the article as a stub if you're concerned that it needs expanding, rather than removing it from the mainspace? What, in your view, does a Wikipedia article about a novel need to do to be accepted in the mainspace?

Thanks! Alarichall (talk) 18:49, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Alarichall Two reviews an article does not make, especially when the only other addition is an in-universe plot summary. You are welcome to read Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Novels for further detailing on how to create an article for a novel (perhaps some detail on background, production, release history, themes, etc/), as well as peruse Wikipedia:Notability (books) for notability. Here are 800+ articles that concern novels and are listed as good articles, if you want to have a look at what they include. Hope that helps! -- Alex_21 TALK 00:49, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the pointer. Still, I'd encourage you to be less heavy-handed in future. If an article is incomplete but on a notable subject then I'd suggest you tag it as a stub: we don't go around Wikipedia removing articles from the mainspace just because they don't do everything that they could or because they don't meet GA standards. Alarichall (talk) 01:29, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Alarichall Thank you for your opinion. I will continue to draftify articles that are not at an article level, and continue to mark articles as stubs when they are at a stub level. Cheers! -- Alex_21 TALK 08:09, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WIkiProject Doctor Who: June 2025 Newsletter

[edit]
The Space-Time Telegraph
Volume III, Issue II — June 2025
Brought to you by the editors of WikiProject Doctor Who
People assume that a newsletters are a strict progression of stuff happening to author's writing,
but, actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of spacey-timey teley-graphy... stuff
This is my Space-Time Telegraph Detector: 🕹️
It goes *ding* when there's a new newsletter out
Welcome to the second 2025 issue of the Space-Time Telegraph. Apologies that we're a little late, sometimes this newsletter takes us when we need to go instead of when we want to go. In this edition you'll find everything that you need to keep you updated on things going on around the project as well as within the Whoniverse.

Am I a good (or featured) man Wikipedia article?

Since last Newsletter, many new GAs have been added to the Project. These include every individual episode in Doctor Who series 15 and a number of fictional characters, including Belinda Chandra, the companion of Series 15. A full list of Good promoted content can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Doctor Who#Articles with Good Article status. So far, we've promoted 33 GAs this year, and we're on track to beat our previous record of GAs promoted in a year (36 in 2012).
In terms of Good Topics, Wikipedia:Featured topics/List of Doctor Who episodes (2005–present) and Wikipedia:Good topics/Doctor Who series 14 were both promoted in May.
Additionally, with the promotion of Yeti (Doctor Who) to FA status just this past month, the project has gotten its first FA status article in nearly a decade, with the last FA promotion being From The Doctor to my son Thomas in November 2015.
Congratulations to all involved with these articles, and keep up the good work!

Space-Time Telegraph Materialization Schedule

With uncertainty surrounding when production of the parent show will resume, newsletter editors have decided to shift the publication schedule from quarterly to triannually for the time being. This means that the next issue will be published in December, and then every April, August, and December thereafter. When the future of the series is more certain, the schedule may update once more at that time.

Their songs have ended... but their stories, never end 🌹

Since the previous issue was published, some people related to Doctor Who have sadly passed away:
Intelligence Bulletin from the Subwave Network
  • The War Between the Land and the Sea, an upcoming Doctor Who spin-off released its first trailer at the conclusion of series 15. The 5-part mini-series is expected to be broadcast later this year. The BBC has also commissioned an animated Doctor Who spin-off series targeted towards younger audiences. The 52-part programme is set to air in two parts of 26-episodes each between 2027 and 2029.
  • In home media, the fifteenth series will be released on DVD, Blu-ray, and Steelbook in August. The Peter Cushing spin-off films, Dr Who And The Daleks and Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D., were recently colourised and re-released in June/July in 4K, along with new special features. Season 13 will be the next season to receive release in "The Collection" format, featuring remastered episodes and new special features.
  • In print, three new Doctor Who novels, written by Emily Cook, Hannah Fergesen, Kalynn Byron came out in May. Another, authored by Esmie Jikiemi-Pearson is due out in November. Dan Watters and Sami Kivelä are also collaborating on a new series featuring for Titan Coomics. Finally, Pete McTighe and Carole Ann Ford are authoring new shorts to expand on previously unseen stories to be released in August and November in larger collections.
  • Big Finish Productions have released several new Who-related audio dramas, and announced many more set to enter production soon. An audio vinyl release of The Moonbase, of which two episodes are missing, is expected to be out in September.
  • New action figure sets taking on the appearance of Fourteenth Doctor and the Meep became available in June. Mattel also collaborated with the BBC to create Barbie dolls taking on the appearance of the Fifteenth Doctor and Belinda, first making their appearance in May at MCM Comic Con. Doctor Who will also once again have a presence at the 2025 San Diego Comic Con, featuring photo-ops and other new exclusive products.
