About Viviane Namaste
You have written a wonderful appreciation of Viviane Namaste, but I'm afraid that doesn't make it an encyclopedia article. At the moment it is being considered for removal at Articles for deletion/Viviane Namaste, but ignore that for now and improve the article. An encyclopedia article is about facts, not about making a person sound wonderful. The work that she has done speaks for itself. See the article Catherine L. Besteman for the kind of information an article about a professor should have. It doesn't matter how much a person has written; you must use sources that have written about her. I have added some sources that talk about Namaste at the bottom of your article, as well as a link to her Curriculum vitae (professor's resume). StarryGrandma (talk) 03:13, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
