Talk:Sue Booth-Forbes

Notability unclear?
I launched this article as I believed that the subject’s 14 years editing an active magazine, leading a team, and debating a wide range of topics, followed by over 20 years running creative retreats at the third busiest centre for such things in Ireland, were sufficient for notability. I certainly see thousands of less notable people in the encyclopaedia, and I made sure to cite all major points. But another editor has raised a query, so did I miss something? Thanks for any inputs.

 * , notability is a function of the amount of coverage available in reliable sources (see WP:GNG for the main guideline). I wasn't able to pull up the offline sources, but between the citation information and the claims that they are backing up in the article, this seems like an article cobbled together from brief mentions and primary sources. Sources 1-6, 17 and 18 are mere mentions, sources 10-16, 23 and 24 are primary sources. Sources 20-22 may have some coverage, but they are primarily about the Anam Cara Writer's and Artist's Retreat––if this is the only significant coverage in a reliable source, then it's better to redirect to that article. This leaves sources 7-9, which are all about the same court case and it's unclear how much coverage they have about the subject beyond the court proceedings (especially considering that Booth-Forbes had not yet begun her career at the time). signed,Rosguill talk 18:16, 3 September was 2019 (UTC)
 * , I must start by saying thanks for answering so quickly, and personally. I am sorry if the article looks “cobbled together” as I wove it over some time, and started by seeking secondary sources, while of course drawing on primary too.  I added the legal case late, and would describe it as a secondary point.  I would consider the more than 25 years of magazine work, nearly 14 as editor, as one major ground, and the directorship of the retreat as the other.  I think I need to support the Exponent II aspect better, if I understand correctly, and will work on that. Twilson r (talk) 18:25, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
