Hi, regarding the message "The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline", I'm relatively new to Wikipedia posting, but it seems to me that this page solidly meets Wikipedia's guidelines.
At a high level, More Than Scientists is a nationally recognized platform supported by about 80 climate scientists, including many top scientists at the leading universities. It publishes and serves as a repository for hundreds of videos contributed by these scientists – videos which largely are not available elsewhere. These scientists volunteered to participate and provided videos expressly for inclusion in More Than Scientists. These aren't 3rd party videos. This repository is important both for current public consumption/education and as a historical record.
More Than Scientists has been recognized with dedicated coverage by respected, nationally-known organizations. The first paragraph provides references for 5 of these organizations, each of whom has their own Wikipedia page, along with links to their coverage of More Than Scientists:
There has been other coverage as well, but I was afraid too many references would be overkill. I could add references from additional organizations if that would be helpful?
The second paragraph provides references for 6 well-known, internationally respected, participating climate scientists who have publicly contributed videos to the site, each of whom has their own Wikipedia page: Kerry Emanuel, John Wallace, Michael Mann, Katharine Hayhoe, Naomi Oreskes, and Kevin Trenberth. In total there are about 80 climate scientists who have publicly contributed videos and probably others of these also have Wikipedia pages. And again, these aren't 3rd party video grabs - the scientists volunteered for inclusion in More Than Scientists and recorded videos for that purpose. If it would be helpful I could add references to additional participating scientists in the article.
In short, the organization has "significant coverage" from a good number of "reliable" "secondary sources" that are "independent of the subject" so it appears to meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Please let me know what else is needed. Thank you. Keystone77 (talk) 04:44, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
