Wanjira Mathai

Created by Jesswade88 (talk). Nominated by Achaea (talk) at 20:09, 29 December 2019 (UTC).

  • Symbol possible vote.svg Template:U, New enough, long enough, and neutrally worded. QPQ done and I prefer ALT1 as it focuses on her accomplishments not her parents. Please address the following issues before this can be approved:
  • The sentence "She studied international health in the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University and graduated in 1996" is not supported by the source. The source says she earned her Masters degree (which should be specified) but does not give a date for graduating.
  • The sentence "The Green Belt Movement was founded by Mathai's mother Wanjira in 1977. Mathai served as Director of the Green Belt Movement from 2002 and in 2005 was made Executive Director of the international organisation" is not supported by the source. As well, interviews are considered WP:PRIMARY and a third source should be found.
  • Template:Ping Thanks for your comments! I have found additional sources for both those sentences and changed to wording to fit with the sources. Please let me know if this is okay, or you think it needs additional work. Achaea (talk) 09:22, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
  • Symbol question.svg The ALT1 hook really says nothing about who she is or what she's famous for. I think a lot of readers won't even bother to click on this. Can you suggest something more hooky? Yoninah (talk) 23:23, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
What about ... that ' Wanjira Mathai serves as Senior Advisor for wPOWER, which looks to train women in East Africa to become leaders in renewable energy?'Jesswade88 (talk) 21:34, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
