A Wikipedia page for Gladys Assistant?

Development

Hello everyone!

I came across the Wikipedia pages of other projects based on the Raspberry Pi, for example:

These projects are also listed on the official Raspberry Pi Wikipedia page: Raspberry Pi — Wikipédia

I was wondering if Gladys Assistant wouldn’t deserve its own official Wikipedia page?

Is anyone here a Wikipedia contributor? :slight_smile:

Hello everyone!

I’m reviving this old topic because a lot has happened since 2022.

At the end of 2023, @cce66 created a Wikipedia page for Gladys Assistant (thanks again for the work!). Unfortunately, it was deleted in July 2024 after a discussion on its admissibility: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussion:Gladys_Assistant/Admissibility

The reason is quite clear: Wikipedia does not judge the notoriety of a project by its number of users or its website, but by the existence of independent, high-quality secondary sources focused on Gladys (articles that really talk about Gladys, not just a mention in a list). In short, at least two are needed, published at sufficiently spaced dates. In 2024, we didn’t have enough.

Good news: things have moved on since then! For example, iGeneration published a complete article on Gladys in February 2026. But we would need more to have a solid file before attempting anything again.

This is where I need your help:

  1. Source hunting: if you’ve come across an article, a feature in a magazine (print or web), a report, a segment in a podcast, or a video from a recognized media outlet that talks about Gladys, share the link here. Personal blogs and forums unfortunately don’t count, but don’t hesitate to post everything, we’ll sort it out.
  2. Wikipedia contributors: if one of you has some experience with Wikipedia, it would be ideal for you to take on the project. The right approach would be to prepare a well-sourced draft, then request the restoration of the page by presenting the new sources.

On my side, as I am the creator of the project, I am in a conflict of interest and cannot write the article myself. But I can of course answer any factual questions (dates, history, figures).

The goal is not to rush, but to come back with a solid file this time :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks in advance!

I’m making the restore request :slight_smile:

EDIT: I’m first hunting for sources
