Talk:Lucian Leape

Request edit on 1 February 2021
The entry for me, Lucian Leape, is very incomplete. I previously submitted my bio so someone can write a better one. I am not clear what all you need references for. I include two here. Are they what you want? I can give cites for all my papers, obviously. and will furnish anything else you need. I can also refer you to other professionals who can verify the elements of my biography. I would like to talk with someone about exactly what you need.

 * The reason you may see challenges to the article's completeness is that it seems an editor believes it doesn't meet some of Wikipedia's requirements for an article, specifically the WP:NOTE. Wikipedia General Notability Guideline establishes that a topic (in your case your biographical article) is suitable for an article when it has received significant coverage in sources which are reliable and independent. Looking at the article, it is lacking in independent sources, per WP:IN. While the article by the Harvard School of Public Health (citation #1) and the interview by the WHO (citation #2) are good reliable sources, your own peer-reviewed papers are not (as you yourself authored them).  I am afraid that while you have every reason to be proud of your work and have the best intentions to make it as publicly available as possible, Wikipedia is not a directory and is often subject to use for self-promotion.  Therefore autobiographies are heaviliy discouraged (see WP:Autobiography).  The articles you have referenced above are perfectly good examples of citations on the subject matter with which they deal, but not as an independent source confirming your personal notability. Therefore we can't use these 2 citations to enrich this article. I will close the Edit Request; you can submit a new one if you can find additional sources which are reliable and independent that attest to your notability.  Thank you for your understanding.
