Talk:Margaret Walthour Lippitt

Contested deletion
This page should not be speedily deleted because... I'm working on it from archived materials -- primary sources. I'm an early editor, so I'm slow and probably not as good as formatting, but this information is reliable. --Henzekm (talk) 23:23, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I've removed the tag for now, but I must caution you that another editor could re-add it at any time. I appreciate that you're new here and Wikipedia's bureaucracy can be overwhelming. Please let me offer some suggestions. You say you're working with archival material. A cardinal principle of Wikipedia is no original research. Has anyone published anything about Ms. Lippitt? Another issue that I see is that on reading the article I have no idea why she is notable. The opening paragraph needs to give a stronger sense of her importance. If you have all this material in front of you but you're still assembling it then it might be a good idea to compose the article offline first and then post if fully-formed. Alternatively, you could create a draft in your userspace and then move it here when you're ready. Best, Mackensen (talk) 01:44, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
