NZ biographies

Many New Zealand biographies are yet to be written, including for many people who have an entry in the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography. The Women in Red project which supports the creation of biographies about women, has developed a Wikidata list of red linked women from New Zealand based on articles in other language versions of Wikipedia. Please note the guideline for notability of New Zealand people.

Requested images[edit]

If an article needs an image add ((Image requested|in=New Zealand)) to the articles' talk page.

Project banner

Place ((WPNZ|class=|importance=)) onto any new New Zealand article's talk page for it to be recognised and assessed under the project's scope.

When assessed, the class and importance parameters are filled in, like this:

((WPNZ|class=Start|importance=Mid))
