The Center on Race, Poverty and the Environment

Perhaps someone from this WikiProject could take a look at The Center on Race, Poverty and the Environment and assess it (particularly with respect to WP:NORG and WP:NOBLE). The article was created directly in the main space by a student participating in a WP:WEP affiliated university course; so, it never really underwent any type of formal assessment (e.g. WP:AFC) and it doesn't seem to have yet been reviewed by WP:NPP. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:04, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Santa Monica College of Design, Art and Architecture

The article Santa Monica College of Design, Art and Architecture has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unreferenced and unimproved 15 years. Run of the mill, very small, now defunct college. Not enough information to redirect or merge.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Michael Cox (serial killer)

A recent piece in the L.A. Times discusses Cox's arrest and conviction: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-12-18/three-dead-girls-and-a-man-on-death-row-did-lies-put-him-there

Much of the official narrative is challenged, and I believe the Wikipedia article would be incomplete without including material inside the article. M89565c (talk) 21:17, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
