Talk:Sarah Blacker

Untitled
All of the information listed about Sarah Blacker (me) is in fact, truth and is in direct reference to my website (http://www.sarahblacker.com) the article was written by Tanner Walle fellow singer/songwriter. Is there anything else I can help with? thank you! Sarahb113 (talk) 19:17, 7 January 2013 (UTC)Sarah Blacker
 * Readers need to be able to WP:Verify that it's the truth, and in particular WP:Biographies of living persons must be scrupulously well sourced. I strongly suggest that you and your friend not edit articles about yourselves: as it will be extremely difficult for you to write objectively. Wait for someone not connected with you to write about you: if you're notable, then they surely will. Thanks, Altered Walter (talk) 19:21, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

The content of the article was cited directly from a biography written by an author other than myself. My friend created the page, and I edited it to make sure the information was correct gramatically / as well as the sources were complete. I had thought that as long as you were not writing an autobiography, you could edit the information on your page. Is this not so?

 * It's strongly discouraged: please have a read of WP:Autobiography for more info on why. Thanks, Altered Walter (talk) 20:07, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Additionally, one's own website is a primary source and is not sufficient to establish notability. Please provide some sources that are independent of you, or this article risks deletion. Thanks. --Drm310 (talk) 18:08, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
 * There are mentions of media references but no citations provided. My own searching only found one article in Performer Magazine, which I am not sure is considered a reliable source.  I've asked for some help on the reliable source noticeboard.  The answers there may determine if this article survives or is nominated for deletion.


 * Addressing the point that your friend wrote your bio for you... while that technically isn't an autobiography (you didn't write it yourself), it's a strong conflict of interest (someone with whom you have a close personal and/or professional connection did). That's still a strong indication of bias and/or promotional intent.  If what you've done in your life is truly notable, then someone else who is considered a reliable source and intellectually independent of you will write about you at some point.  --Drm310 (talk) 06:34, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
