 * A proper Wikipedia article needs to cite reliable sources that are non-trivial and independent of the subject to establish notability. The current article does not do that and it is basically a toned-down version of Fugate's website bio. Reliable sources that discuss Fugate or her work in a non-trivial manner are acceptable. The article has been tagged for issues. • Gene93k (talk) 23:15, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I do not think that notability is an issue (or at least, will not be when we get a few more sources) but I definitely agree that the Career section (at least) is written like an advertisement. KConWiki (talk) 22:35, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Notability vs. Format
I appreciate the above comment which says form, not notability, is the issue. This is an independent filmmaker whose growing body of work has made legitimate contributions to otherwise neglected subjects (Stacy Valentine, for example, is an "approved" Wiki entry, cross-listed with Fugate's entry as a biopic subject). Self-citations needed to be removed and have been cut from the notes; also the voice in the career section has been edited to meet Wiki standards. Writex (talk) 17:48, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

ProQuest
Hi E.M.. I have never seen ProQuest URLs used in citations, is that something we do? Thanks, Sam Sailor 19:48, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

 * I don't think so, it does not work with those search links. Guideline? Sam Sailor 20:02, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Please try to find the direct links to the articles, as I did in one case. The search links you provide are not working, and you do expose your ID. Sam Sailor 20:11, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Care to follow-up here? Sam Sailor 20:21, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Of course direct links to the publisher of an article are preferable, it's just that I do a lot of AfDs and proquest is efficient. Linking hrough projquest truly is standard practice, despite the fact it is behind a high paywall,  editors use it routinely to source articles, just as it is permitted to source to articles behind the expensive paywalls  the Boston Globe, Wall Street Journal, and other media have erected. When I click such a link added by another editor, it takes me right to the article on proquest.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:37, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
 * OK, good to know, thanks. Sam Sailor 20:44, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
