Notability
Hi Cincan2: I've left the same message for the editor who started the Maria Louisa Espiritu article, but they'd already been welcomed.

I'm sorry, but I don't think Ms Espiritu qualifies for an article on Wikipedia yet. This is an encyclopedia, and cannot include every person and thing there is. So we require a certain level of notability: which we define in terms of other reliable sources (such as newspapers, magazines, books, and tv, not things anyone can contribute to such as other wikis, blogs, or IMDb) having covered the person or the topic. The basic requirement is summed up with links to more detailed explanations on this summary page. Alternatively, there are special criteria for different kinds of biographies - this seems to be the one applicable to a director. Espiritu is still "up and coming". I do not see any press coverage of her work, and the article itself currently speaks only of as yet unreleased films. Unless she has indeed been covered extensively in the press, or has received a very prestigious prize, I believe this is way premature and based on you not understanding how we work. This essay would seem to be pertinent. I hope she makes it big so that we can have an article on her soon. But I'm also sorry no one took the time to fully explain our criteria for inclusion earlier.

Answer
Hi, I'm new to this Wikipedia thing and I'm not sure if this is the best way to respond to your message. Yes, I have up dated the article for Maria Louisa Espiritu. She has been interviewed already for Cannes Film Festival, Los Angeles Times, and other magazines that will come out later this year. Why would Wikipedia delete a page for a real director and producer in New York city and Los Angeles? Some Engineering students have created an article for themselves already and they have not made it. Should we wait until the movies and article comes out? Cincan2


 * Yes, you should wait until stuff has been published about her; ideally non-interview articles talking in depth about her. Please read the pages I've linked to. By the way, the discussion on whether the article should be deleted is here and you are of course welcome to post there. And just for information, sign on this and other talk pages (including discussions like that one) by typing ~ (it automatically becomes a time-stamped signature) or using the squiggle or the pencil icon that should appear above your editing window or in a pull-down menu.
