Add Atheism info box to all atheism related talk pages (use {{WikiProject Atheism}} or see info box)
Ensure atheism-related articles are members of Atheism by checking whether [[Category:Atheism]] has been added to atheism-related articles – and, where it hasn't, adding it.
Try to expand stubs. Ideas and theories about life, however, are prone to generating neologisms, so some stubs may be suitable for deletion (see deletion process).
State atheism needs a reassessment of its Importance level, as it has little to do with atheism and is instead an article about anti-theist/anti-religious actions of governments.

Che Guevara is a former featured article. Please see the links under Article milestones below for its original nomination page (for older articles, check the nomination archive) and why it was removed.
Not done: See note a of the article, which explains that Che was actually born on May 14 and that his birthday was listed in June on his birth certificate to avoid the scandal that would have resulted if it was discovered that his mother was already pregnant at the time of her marriage.

It has been a while since this article has been reviewed, so I took a look and noticed the "too long" yellow banner at the top of the page. After reading the article, I agree with this assessment and I think information shuold be spun out, summarised more effectively, or removed as too detailed. I also see some uncited statements. Should this article go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 03:35, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Change his birthday June 14 1928 to May 14 1928. Source: John Lee Anderson’s biography “Che Guevara, A revolutionary life” chapter 2. His birthday is corrected and the misconception is explained (his mother lied as she was already pregnant with him when she got married). Ch3rryp!e (talk) 20:44, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There is an "article too long" yellow banner at the top of the page. After skimming through the article, I agree with this banner as there are several sections that can be spun out, summarised more effectively, or trimmed for excess detail. There are also some uncited statements. Z1720 (talk) 17:55, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delist. A source has been added to the article (yay) but there has been no discussion or edits to reduce the size of the article (not yay). Z1720 (talk) 16:56, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I am aware, Ernesto Guevara gained the famous nickname "Che" because he used the word "che", meaning something like "hello", "look", "over here" etc. so much in his youth. But is this mentioned anywhere in the article? JIP | Talk21:32, 4 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
level-4 vital article is rated C-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.
