Lewistown, Pennsylvania
Hello. Your recent edit to Lewistown, Pennsylvania appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you.

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Harold Lerch. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Randy Lerch, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the COI guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 20:01, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

Your question at Help_desk
Hello!

Assuming that you're this Harold Lerch. According to WP-philosophy, you are WP:NOTABLE if you have been written about in several sources that are, at the same time, reliably published, independent of you and about you. This excludes stuff like online bookstores (and their reader comments), your own publications and Goodreads. The Dailyitem.com thing was the only thing I could find that seems to fit, and per "rules" like WP:GNG and WP:BASIC it is not enough. Off-topic, I also found one of your books in Swedish.
