Talk:Katherine McAlpine

Untitled
I find pretty amusing that one can write a wikipedia page for herself/himself. There is no doubt that there is no enciclopedic interest at all around one of the 10.000 people working at CERN, no matter how much Warhol was right about his 15 minutes of fame. Famargar 11 Aug 2009.
 * The article's subject is not it's creator. 1) I started the page, and 2) I am not the subject.  Anyone with a modicum of experience editing the Wiki can verify both facts.  If you, or anyone, feels the page should not be here, please see the notability guideline and take whatever (non)action you deem appropriate.  Should you request the article's deletion I will be happy to oppose it. István (talk) 15:12, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Happy to hear back from somebody; it is common on wikipedia to have a friend or a supporter writing a webpage on you. Nothing bad on your side, just trying to make the point that the topic is not worth a wikipedia voice. To translate Andy Warhol into a Wikipedia statement, here I get from the notability guideline: "Notability is not temporary: a topic needs to have had sufficient coverage in reliable sources to meet the general notability guideline, but it does not need to have ongoing coverage from news sources. However, Wikipedia is not a news source: it takes more than just a short burst of news reports about a single event or topic to constitute sufficient evidence of notability – particularly for individuals known for one event (WP:BLP1E).". This article clearly falls inot the short burst category. Cheers Famargar 9 Sept 2009. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.225.232.179 (talk) 17:32, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
 * This is certainly not an arranged article, as implied above. Anyone who feels the subject lacks notability may take action.István (talk) 04:14, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

There's perhaps an argument that the article should be for the Large Hadron Rap (which seems notable enough for an article), rather than for Katherine McAlpine (who seems notable only in the context of this work). Also note that others were involved in the work (most notably, the music being written by her brother).

See MUSIC for criteria on notability. Mdwh (talk) 02:07, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
