If you don't mind: may I kindly ask what assignment this is for? Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 16:21, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) Hi LokayaWC. You might want to take a look at Wikipedia:The answer to life, the universe, and everything and Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not for general reference. Unless you're clearly able to demonstrate that the person you're trying to create an article about meets Wikipedia:Notability (people), it's going to be hard to create such an article. It makes no difference what Professor Anderson might want because Wikipedia is not here to serve them or help you complete a class assignment. You might also want to take a look at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest, Wikipedia:Paid contribution disclosure, Wikipedia:Ownership of content and Wikipedia:An article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing because there seem to be some other things that you and your professor might be misunderstanding about Wikipedia in addition to Wikipedia:Copyrights. Perhaps you should suggest that your professor take a look at Wikipedia:Student assignments and Wikipedia:Training/For educators if they want use Wikipedia in class assignments because there are ways they can seek help in doing so that makes things easier for both teacher and student. While it's true that Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia that anyone can edits, it's just as true that there are many policies and guidelines that those wanting to edit need to comply with. If your professor thinks they can simply say to their students "go create a Wikipedia article and I'll grade you on your work", then they are sadly mistaken and asking you and your classmates to do something that isn't going to be easily done. If you or your professor have specific questions about this, you might want to try asking them at Wikipedia:Education noticeboard since that's where you'll find editors more familiar with such things; however, no content deemed to be a copyright violation can be restored by an administrator as long as their are still serious concerns as to whether it's licensed correctly for use on Wikipedia. Moreover, even if it is relicensed to make it OK to use on Wikipedia, there's still no obligation for Wikipedia to use it as is. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:23, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
