For everyone interested in this issue, I encourage you to learn more about
the new Drafts namespace, which I only discovered recently. See
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Drafts: "Drafts of new Wikipedia
articles may be hosted in the "Draft" namespace. It was created out of
concern for the backlog at the Articles for Creation process for new
articles." It's not much now aside from a wiki page with a different
prefix, but the road map <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Draft_namespace>on
mediawiki.org is intriguing, especially the one-click publish button in the
design mockup (page
8<https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=File:Design_for_Draft_name…)age=8>).
Nice!

many GLAMs have been sucked into it. I believe in the right of new
editors to create a stub!
Thanks very much Andy for bringing this to our attention. I expanded the
article and added refs myself, and then resubmitted. Hope this will do the
trick.

One of you folk might be interested helping the author
of this AfC
candidate to get it into a fit state for publication:

and then reaching out to the msueum as a potential GLAM partner.
