Saving LLMPRODs (awards and plays)

Hi, I've just finished WP:LLMPRODing around 200 articles by Naramar, most of which are on awards ceremonies but a decent amount on plays and actors as well. Tbh I usually just tag list articles with {{AI-generated}} as they're easier to review and LLMs are better at them, but at this scale I didn't think I could expect people to review them all. See the list here (to see their drafts, just add /118 to the url). To dePROD, please follow the guidance at WP:LLMPRVOBJ. Thanks, Kowal2701 (talk, contribs) 21:27, 8 August 2026 (UTC)

Request for independent editor: Qasim Khan (Canadian actor)

Hi, I'm Qasim Khan, the subject of this article. New to Wikipedia and I've disclosed my COI on my userpage. I see that there's already a request for Requested Articles → Performing arts, and I don't want to write my own entry. I do have a substantial independent coverage that I can provide to an uninvolved editor who might be interested in assessing/creating the article:

CBC q interview — https://www.cbc.ca/arts/q/qasim-khan-on-taking-on-the-role-of-hamlet-1.7279859

There is substantial independent critical coverage in The Globe and Mail and Toronto Star of The Inheritance, Hedda Gabler, Hamlet and The Playboy of the Western World, which I can supply if useful.

I'm not asking anyone to reproduce promotional material or a draft I've written; I'm hoping an uninvolved editor might be interested in independently assessing the sources and the existing requested-article entry. TheSoulChild2709 (talk) 22:10, 12 August 2026 (UTC)

Following up on this after about a month. I completely understand that editors are volunteers and there may simply not be anyone interested in taking this on. If nobody is interested in creating the article, I would still really appreciate an uninvolved editor's opinion on whether the available independent sourcing appears sufficient to establish notability. Since I'm the subject, I don't want to make that determination myself.

I also wanted to add some of the independent critical coverage I mentioned above, in case it's useful for assessing the sourcing:

Anthony Perkins portrait for info box

Hi, if anyone has the time, take a look at Talk:Anthony Perkins and chip in your opinion about which picture to use. -- Melchior2006 (talk) 06:20, 17 August 2026 (UTC)

Archival photos of theatrical productions from the Stadttheater Bern for use on Wikipedia - second set of pictures

Example of a photo from the Erismann collection imported to Commons: Helga Dernesch.

I am writing to inform you that we have carried out a second import into Wikimedia Commons. This time, it comprises 270 photographs of theatre performances taken by Fred Erismann between 1956 and 1958 as part of his work as a photographer for the Stadttheater in Bern. The rights to reuse these images were granted by his daughter when she donated her father’s archive to the SAPA Foundation (Swiss Performing Arts Archives). On behalf of this foundation, we have uploaded the photographs to Commons along with structured metadata (project page on Wikidata).

You can find these photos in the Commons category Fonds Erismann (SAPA-A-1552). You can also filter photos using these different queries:

• List of people depicted by file: https://w.wiki/TwUw (some people appear in multiple files, and some files depict multiple people)
• The same list, but limited to people with an article on English Wikipedia: https://w.wiki/UCbT
• List of the most frequently depicted people: https://w.wiki/Twd5

Some of these images might be useful for illustrating Wikipedia articles: feel free to use them as you see fit (example of reuse: Isabel Strauss). It would also be a good idea to add the images to the corresponding Wikidata items.

If you have any questions about the images, or specific requests regarding the queries or anything you’d like to convey to the SAPA Foundation, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Thank you in advance for your contribution to this project and for helping to improve the articles with these illustrations! VIGNERON en résidence (talk) 12:18, 5 September 2026 (UTC)

National Comedy Theatre — request for independent editor

Hello. I am the Artistic Director of National Comedy Theatre and have disclosed my conflict of interest on the article's Talk page. I am avoiding direct substantive edits to the article. There is an existing edit request at Talk:National Comedy Theatre#Request to improve article overview and sourcing concerning the article's overview and sourcing. The article has independent coverage from sources including the San Diego Union-Tribune, KPBS, CBS 8 and San Diego Magazine. Since the article falls within the scope of WikiProject Theatre, I wanted to ask whether an uninvolved editor here might be willing to review the existing request when convenient. I am happy to provide additional independent sources on the article Talk page if useful. Thank you. SD3717 (talk) 18:32, 24 September 2026 (UTC)
