WiR redlist index: Recent deaths

Welcome to WikiProject Women in Red (WiR). Our objective is to turn red links into blue ones. Our scope is women's biographies, women's works, and women's issues, broadly construed.

This list of links covers women who died in the last 14 days. It is intended to serve as a basis for making proposals for women's biographies that could be included in the Wikipedia homepage feature, recent deaths.

This list was generated using Wikidata and it will be refreshed roughly daily to remove links older than two weeks and add new ones - no manual editing is required.

This list is automatically generated from data in Wikidata and is periodically updated by Listeriabot.
Edits made within the list area will be removed on the next update!
