heading problem
Because the heading for this article is DR HELEN KING it does not show up in the search when you press Go for HELEN KING. I suppose that the DR should be deleted from the heading so that it just reads HELEN KING. Of course there is another Helen King, the actress, so there will need to be two entries for the name Helen King.

Notability
I'm going bold and removing the notability citation. My main reason, naturally, is that I myself went looking for this Helen King on WIkipedia. She has written several books of enduring merit, as well as numerous articles over a period of years. I would also suggest that it is rather anti-intellectual to exclude scholars who are eminent in their fields while including hosts of pages on not only minor television actors, but minor characters on short-lived series. This is not an elitist argument: I don't think those articles should be deleted, and those characters touched thousands or millions of minds. It's just that I think it's better to err on the side of inclusiveness. I am linking to this article because I'm quoting King in another article, and I want potential readers to be able to ask "So who is this?" Which is not to say that the article itself is satisfactory; I express no opinion about that. Cynwolfe (talk) 02:57, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
