Sheila K. Collins, PhD

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Sheila K. Collins, PhD, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but it may not satisfy Wikiquote's criteria for inclusion, for the reasons given in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikiquote is not" and Wikiquote's deletion policy).

You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Votes for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. ~ UDScott (talk) 14:40, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi @UDScott, I disagree with the proposed deletion. This is my first wikiquote edit/submission and my lack of experience does not need to delete Dr. Collin's voice and contributions. I was inspired to write & contribute after reading [Said- Amplifying Women's Voices Via WikiQuote] about the #SheSaid campaign. The brainchild of Wiki In Africa‘s Florence Devouard, #SheSaid is an online drive across the Wikimedia Community to balance the representation of gender in the entries of Wikiquote.

I believe Dr. Collins is a notable women’s voice who more people need to hear about as she's been making a difference for over 30 years and it aligns with the mission of the #SheSaid project in creating pages to feature those women who were missing. Thanks for your feedback in helping me make it a better article. GautreauxGang (talk) 22:26, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
