Your submission Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Dorothy L. Goosby
Cycler650, I got your message via e-mail. It is great that you want to contribute to Wikipedia. All the folks on Wikipedia welcome new editors.

To be perfectly frank, I think the article you are proposing may never meet the criteria for Wikipedia. I will not be reviewing it at this stage any further; I'll leave that for fresh eyes. However, I think that when all is said and done, there are some real issues that will be difficult to overcome.


 * Notability. Does the subject truly meet this criterion? Note that the information for this must specifically be "Independent of the subject". Also see Notability (people), specifically the section on Politicians.
 * Biographies of living persons
 * Neutral point of view

Lastly, due to information in your e-mail, I discovered that you may not be a disinterested party to the subject. Please review Conflict of interest.

I do understand that this is your first contribution to Wikipedia, and I certainly would encourage you to contribute, but I don’t want you to work hard on the existing article to clear one small hurdle after another only to find in the end that there is a hurdle so high, you cannot clear it.

IMHO, if you firmly believe that the subject truly belongs on Wikipedia, I would suggest taking a step back from the subject and perhaps start with a clean sheet. Certainly, you should strip out virtually ALL of the information derived from the subject's website that is in the current version of the article and only include information from Reliable sources. You might also take a look at existing articles about other politicians to get ideas about what you could include.

I honestly wish you the very best and hope that you will continue contributing. --Arg342 (talk) 19:42, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
