Talk:Helen Corbitt

Sources for future expansion
I've added a half-dozen sources to this article, most of which could easily be used to expand this article. Corbitt is the subject of more than 50 years of sustained press coverage, even now more then 30 years after her death. Google News is frankly overflowing with articles about Corbitt and her impact on cuisine in Texas and internationally. - Dravecky (talk) 07:57, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
 * There's still a notability question. I'm sure she was a beloved department store cook and won many trade show awards, but is that particularly notable? AfD ? --Wtshymanski (talk) 14:31, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Sustained in-depth coverage by diverse reliable third-party sources plus top awards in her industry prove notability beyond any shadow of a doubt. Also... 'department store cook'? Did you read any of those linked articles? - Dravecky (talk) 21:09, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
 * If you're the Ohio Insurance Association "Salesman of the Year" and get a plaque for it, are you notable enough for Wikipedia? Trade groups justify their member dues  by handing out gimcrack awards.  --Wtshymanski (talk) 22:10, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Clearly, she's notable enough for continuing in-depth coverage by major news organizations 30 years after her death, whatever your personal opinion might be. - Dravecky (talk) 23:05, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
 * This article should be greatly expanded and I've added a few more references, including her 1957 profile in The Christian Science Monitor, her 1978 obituary in The New York Times, and more. Corbitt's name is still frequently referenced by current food writers and The New York Times said in 2006' that "helped define upscale Texas cooking" in discussing the enduring popularity of classic cookbooks.  I've got to find somebody with access to The Christian Science Monitor so I can read more of this 1976 article and a few others. - Dravecky (talk) 23:58, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
