[Wikimedia-l] The Wikipedia Gap

[Delirium]

In terms of specific articles to create, there is also 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Missing_encyclopedic_articles

That project collects articles that exist in wide range of other 
encyclopedias, but don't yet exist on Wikipedia. However that's not 
covering quite the same concerns as the systemic-bias discussion, since 
many of those encyclopedias themselves have similar biases. Nonetheless 
this kind of comparison can be useful to find specific gaps in coverage 
that, equally importantly, are "actionable" in the sense that at least 
one source to base an article on exists.
