List of romantic novelists
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your interest in improving the List of romantic novelists! Because the list has the potential to be so long, it is generally limited to listing only authors who have articles on Wikipedia. I've moved the notice about Bella McFarland to the talk page, which is being used as a wish list of articles that need to be created. If an article is created on this article, the name can be moved to the main list.

If you are thinking about creating an article on this author, please note that all articles, especially biographies of living people, must adhere to Wikipedia policies and guidelines, including the inclusion guidelines and thereliable sources policy. This generally means that the subject of the article must have received significant coverage in independent, reliable sources (like newspapers, journals, books; this does not generally include websites). Notability_(people) gives further guidance. It is also important to note that even if a person does not meet the inclusion criteria right now, as their career takes off they may meet the inclusion criteria later and be able to have an article then.

As one last thought, your username suggests that you may actually be Bella McFarland. If this is the case, you may want to read our conflict of interest policy to ensure that you don't inadvertently break any rules. It is generally not recommended that a person writes an article on themself. If you are actually Bella McFarland and would like your own article, I would be happy to write it for you if you can provide me with links to reliable, independent sources.

There are a lot of rules here, and it can get pretty overwhelming in the beginning. It does get easier!! If you ever have questions, feel free to ask on my talk page. Good luck and happy editing! Karanacs (talk) 14:05, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
