Speedy deletion nomination of Helene Lerner
Hello Cbamber,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Helene Lerner for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ contest this deletion], but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Helene Lerner moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Helene Lerner, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). For example, she won regional Emmy Awards, which is not the same as an Emmy Award; I can find no evidence of the Gracie Awards. I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the confirms on the Articles for Creation template atop the page.

Helene Lerner
Hi. I left this same message in response to your question on my talk page. It's premature to be concerned about the photo - there are other concerns. I moved the article back to the draft space so that you can work on it there.

Here are the issues you need to address:
 * The first is regarding notability - see WP:NPEOPLE. She would automatically be notable if she had won Emmy Awards, but regional Emmys don't go toward notability. (I edited the article last night, and noted that the Emmys were regional; I also added citations. You need to find independent references that provide extensive coverage specifically about Helene Lerner in reliable sources. The sources you've used aren't independent.
 * Verifiablility: See:  WP:VERIFY.  You need to be able to verify the assertions of the article, such as the Gracie Awards.  I can't find any confirmation via and independent, reliable source.
 * Neutral point of view: The article is very promotional.  See WP:NPOV.  Get rid of the adjectives and the superlatives!  A Wikipedia article should be just-the-facts.  Ask yourself if a statement is significant, or if it serves only to promote the subject.
 * Conflict of Interest: You have a conflict of interest, and you should note that you're an intern for Helene Lerner on your user page, and on the draft.  Because of your conflict, submit it through   AfC rather than publishing it yourself.  See WP:COI.

It looks like you participated in a Wikipedia course at Emory. Notability, verifiability, and neutrality are mandatory; do you have materials you can review? I'm happy to help if you're in need of guidance. Thanks, Julie JSFarman (talk) 17:38, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Just to piggyback off of what is written above, I'd be happy to help you along in Wikipedia and help you on the article. Unfortunately, the article as written was not acceptable and has been moved back to draftspace. It might be good to read up on wikipedia policies, including conflict of interest. If you have any questions feel free to ask me! ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs ) ~ 03:00, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
