Mary Leng
Hi Lel; just a quick note to say that you may have noticed that someone else has come and edited the article on Mary Leng, adding a number of sources to the article to help establish notability. A nice example of what I mentioned about others chipping in! Josh Milburn (talk) 13:28, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. Sulfurboy (talk) 20:36, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Hi Lel; I'm responding to you here rather than by email so that there couldn't be any accusations of off-Wikipedia scheming. The challenge is to demonstrate that Briggs is notable, and to base the article on reliable sources (e.g., not solely citing Briggs's CV, useful though that will be for some details!). Guidance about this can be found at Notability (academics). I'm not surprised that you haven't found any reviews, as Briggs has not published any academic books, though they have published some poetry collections. I also wasn't able to find much coverage in third-party sources. Lots of hits in the blogosphere, but they don't count as "reliable" sources. There are interviews at The Stanford Daily and What Is It Like To Be a Philosopher, but some editors may take some convincing that they are reliable. I had heard of Briggs before, but the reason I think them notable for Wikipedia purposes is that they have had two (!) articles in The Philosopher's Annual. It may also be helpful to dig out published work that engages with Briggs's work: this paper, for instance, may be a good start. Josh Milburn (talk) 09:36, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Ray Briggs


Hello, Lel.jones. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Ray Briggs".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
