Talk:Martha Barnette

AfC
Hi - you said that the article "still needs all available major reviews". Could you help me understand what you mean by that so I can improve the article? Do you mean I need to incorporate more reviews of her books in order to prove notability? Mortee (talk) 22:30, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, that will help. SwisterTwister   talk  23:20, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I've added two more, but I'm concerned that it makes the article promotional. The extra references make it more obvious that she's notable but at the expense of making the article feel like advertising. Is there a better way of including them, without quoting praise that doesn't necessarily belong here? Mortee (talk) 23:27, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
 * As long as they're significant independent news, it can help, since that's what WP:AUTHOR considers notable. SwisterTwister   talk  23:32, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Do you think the current reviews are enough? I expect I can find more, but I'd like to stop adding them once notability is demonstrated, so as to keep a neutral tone. Mortee (talk) 23:36, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Just noting in case you do think more reviews might be needed to show notability: more are listed on the Encyclopedia.com reference. I'd prefer not to include them in the article directly because quoting from more reviews doesn't feel helpful to the reader. Mortee (talk) 13:53, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I've decided to self-publish the article since it's been more than a week and I think I've addressed the feedback from the AfC review. If there are still issues I'm happy to hear about them, of course. Mortee (talk) 17:37, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
