Predrag Nikolic
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.

Jeffrey Epstein
Article is the focus of a lot of attention, but it has major issues.
- Some low quality sourcing (newsweek, fox news, etc)
- Sensationalism and tabloid gossip
- Financial Times outright says there's major errors in the article
A direct quote from the article: "At this point, it is worth noting that Wikipedia’s editors have added their own flourishes that are not reflected in the underlying source material."
There's been some progress in improving the article on these points but many remain. Harizotoh9 (talk) 03:40, 12 February 2026 (UTC)

A biographical article vs list of mini-bios
Is a biographical article more convenient and easier to write than a list of biographical sections? The "Dylan Bachelet" article was created, then AFD-nominated, and then "kept", but then it was unilaterally redirected to List of The Great British Bake Off finalists (series 8–present) months later due to (again) notability issues.
On the other hand, I've been the primary editor of List of The Great British Bake Off finalists (series 8–present)... Well, I had to add details about newer finalists when no one else could. Also, the list of Great British Menu chefs (series 5–7) is still incomplete.
Sure, we have had to enforce notability guidelines, but then I wonder how practical a list of mini-biographies is, especially on mobile. George Ho (talk) 06:50, 3 March 2026 (UTC)
