Talk:Nicolette Rankin

My edits
I think I have removed the worst of the sourcing and promo. I also removed the names of non-notable relatives and some other inappropriate content. The article is still more promotional than it should be and focuses more on the companies than her role in them. I have only given a cursory look at the 'good' sources and do not recommend moving this out of draft space without a check of those. If I have time later I will do that. Ping me if either I or someone else has not done so by Monday. Jbh Talk  23:13, 22 February 2018 (UTC) Last edited: 23:19, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

WP:PROMO
I would suggest that you remove the subsections on the individual companies and write some narrative text which talks about her overall work. On a quick search I think that there should be enough sources out there to write a legitimate biography. Having these individual sections, especially since there is more text describing the companies than her work with them, serves more to promote those organizations than to enlighten the reader on her life. One or two sentences saying, in general what they do is OK but stuff like: "Open English differentiated itself from other English language programs by providing live, online classes “taught every hour, around the clock,” and offering “proprietary instructional content.”" is right out.

Notability
I have been looking for more press coverage but I have not been able to find anything substantial. Here is an analysis of some of the sources in the article: There really needs to be at least three independent, third party reliable sources that have at least a couple hundred words each written about her before I would think the article has a reasonable chance of surviving an AFD discussion.

 * In the Field of Digital Marketing, #TimesUp for Women to Claim Their Powerthis is from PRNewsWire and is not acceptable for establishing notability. ❌
 * Virtual English Language School "Open English" Is Worth Millions does not mention her except in passing as Moreno's wife. ❌
 * Miami’s Open English buys Next University does not mention her. ❌
 * Why This $350 Million Online Language School Moved To Miami passing mention as wife. ❌
 * OpenEnglish Raises $65M to Scale Online Learning Can not access this but probably is much like the others ❌
 * The HBS Case Study is not, in my opinion, sufficient to pass the General Notability Guidelines or other notability criteria. I will try to get a copy of the study to see if it changes my mind. ✅ or ❌
 * I disagree with some of the claims above.
 * Why This $350 Million Online Language School Moved To Miami describes her as co-founder and "chief product officer" before mentioning that she is married to Moreno. It also quotes her at length. This is quite a bit more than "passing mention as wife."
 * HBS case study says she is "Co-founder and Vice President of Product Development"; quotes her at length without mentioning her husband.
 * Virtual English Language School "Open English" Is Worth Millions mentions her as chief project manager before mentioning that she is his wife.
 * In the Field of Digital Marketing, #TimesUp for Women to Claim Their Power, published online by Westchester News 12, has lots of info about Rankin including "Nicolette Rankin is a three-time Edtech Entrepreneur and a case protagonist at the Harvard Business School. At 24 years old, she co-founded Open English, which grew to over 500,000 students, 5,000 staff members and valued at over $350M in 2013. Harvard Business School's Bharat Anand claimed, 'Nicolette has one of the most compelling voices in education financing' during last year's ASU GSV conference."
 * Several of the other articles mentioned are not used as references in this article. I don't think the assessment above should be treated as diagnostic of how notable or not notable Nicolette Rankin (formerly Moreno) is. HouseOfChange (talk) 03:57, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
