It looks like the page needs more citations, from "reliable secondary sources that are independent of the topic" --- so if we could find (or rustle up) articles on other sites *about* gemini, that might help. I'm not very versed in Wikipedia's guidelines, but maybe these?

https://www.susa.net/wordpress/2020/06/gemini-protocol-markup/

Etc....

If anyone has in-roads at like, Wired or another magazine (maybe Low-Tech Magazine would be interested?), that'd be dope.
