Mary K. Estes[edit]

Hi Smkaspr14 -

I know that you are new to Wikipedia and just working on an academic assignment, but this is just a heads up that you took out some important sources from Mary K. Estes without explaining why. If an article's subject cannot be proven notable, the article faces the risk of deletion. Another editor proposed that your article be deleted, but I attempted to save it because Estes is certainly notable.

The way that we protect it from deletion is by including independent sources that provide evidence of the subject's significance. The AAAS and NAS sources that you deleted were two easy ways to prove notability (more info on professor notability at WP:PROF). Your edit also re-added information that seems better suited for rotavirus than for the Estes article. The Estes entry wouldn't have sections about structure or symptoms, because Estes isn't a virus or a medical condition.

It's also a good idea to use an edit summary (the little blank comment box above the Save page button) with every edit. That way, people know why you decided to add or remove certain information. I hope this helps you and that you'll consider undoing your last edit so that it better reflects the subject's notability. Thanks! EricEnfermero (Talk) 00:43, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I just deleted content in the article which was not backed with a citation. Please provide a citation which meets WP:RS for any information you add. Thanks. Blue Rasberry (talk) 14:57, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
