Hello there
So....I just checked the recent activity on the Wiki Loves Women
assessment board.
And my attention was raised by a serious list of red links (which used
to be blue... right ?)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Wiki_Loves_Women/Assess…
It appears that all those articles were bot-moved from article status to
"draft" status. They were all created by User:Sander.v.Ginkel (for a
grand total of 16,104 articles) due to various quality issues.
All articles created were moved to draft space, where they can rescued
one by one (being fixed first).
Upon quick checking... roughly 300 african women articles were concerned
by the purge. It appears that many of them are about footballers (I
opened 10 articles and the 10 were of that sort), a lot being Ghanean
Quick sampling

player)

It is possible to volunteer to rescue those articles (fix them, then
move them back in the main space).
