In practice items about Wikimedians are /more/ likely to be deleted
than equivalent items about non-Wikimedians.

Hello all,
Speaking as an admin of Wikidata, someone having an item on the project

those who weren't lucky enough to get an item (I would probably delete any

I did not say you had. I said that the common view on the projects

necessary and that volunteers have a right to create that

The Wikidata profiles is a bit of a tangent, here's another nudge that
the thread is really about best practices for managing scholarships
for volunteers.
Now indulging the tangent myself :-), care will be taken for all

Hoi,
For any and all other conventions those giving a presentation are notable
per the completeness of informing and linking to the presentations. Quite
often people have presented before and only when these presentations are
linked through their presenter it is possible to make the connection.
Besides any other aspects, most scholarship recipients are probably not
notable. When I suggested to create items for all of the Wikimania sessions
I perceived it as concensus (in the Wikidata telegram group) that they were
not notable. So unless they already are notable (and already should have
I'm pretty shocked at this idea; in fact, if someone created a Wikidata
profile about me, I'd have it taken down under applicable legislation.
Making financial support contingent on adding one's name to a publicly
editable database does not seem to be particularly wise, nor for that
matter
Making their data publicly available? Yiiikes!

participants.
I do not think the wiki movement is quite ready for this, but
