Nancy LaMott
A tag has been placed on Nancy LaMott, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable (see the guidelines for notability here). If you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please affix the template  to the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

Please read the criteria for speedy deletion (specifically, article #7) and our general biography criteria. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. -- Kinu t /c  06:59, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Welcome
Hi, I noticed you put a request down here, and then deleted it yourself. If you do want to go ahead with the action, you can create the page as their name with (composer) after it, ie, Christopher Marlowe (composer). If you need any help feel free to ask at my talk page.

 * Sorry, I should have checked your edit history. Seems you have made the page up already. Ans e ll  12:28, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Ansell, I am new here. Yes, my question regarding Christopher Marlowe still stands. How can I get this page listed under that name? Also, is a "fan club" link prohibited from being listed as an external link?? Nancylamottfan 12:43, 8 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Fan club links are generally discouraged by our guidelines on external links, which is why I removed it. Wikipedia has a problem in that it cannot determine which "fan clubs" are better than others, and hence, when people try to add every fan club to some articles they become to look like spam/advertising, which we do not want on Wikipedia.
 * About the page name you can use the "move" function at the top of the page to move the page to that title. If you find that a page cannot be moved using that function than you can request a move and an administrator will decide on it. I will attempt to move tbe page now to that title, as its current title is a little long. Cheers, Ans e ll  00:03, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Ansell, There was a tag saying something here needs cleanup. I don't know how to proceed but will go and alert a friend who might be able to help. Thanks very much for helping out with Christopher Marlowe's link.Nancylamottfan 12:35, 9 November 2006 (UTC)


 * No problems about the link! :)
 * The "cleanup" tag is a way of saying that currently the article does not flow, or it is disorganised. A cleanup would integrate things according to what would work best for an encyclopedia article.
 * On the article topic, if you could focus on integrating external sources to verify the statements that are in the article it would be great. Wikipedia requires that things are verifiable, and a part of that is showing which statements of fact come from which sources, to make sure that people are not writing things in wikipedia that people have commented on before somewhere. Cheers, Ans e ll  13:34, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Ansell, I'll get another contributor to "clean up" the article. As for verifying the source, most of the contents came from the nancylamottfanclub.com page, which I am the webmaster. Can the fan club be cited? Additional info came from Scott Barnes, her manager, as well as from other friends and fans of hers. Will info from CD jackets suffice as sources? Her life was not well documented in the citable form.


 * Does she have a printed biography? The information from her manager needs to be verified somehow. Are there newspaper articles relating to her career, or reviews of her work by critics? I assume that there is a review community for cabaret performers.
 * What I am trying to say overall though is that the information must fit inside the main policies, being verifiability, no original research, and neutral point of view (essentially that the language and the article tone are from the appropriate viewpoint for an encyclopedia article). I also have to make sure that the things that wikipedia is not are not happening on this page. The main thing I want to make sure is not happening in that respect is that Wikipedia is not a memorial (which does not mean the page cannot be a full life story, just that it should not be in the style of a newspaper obituary). Hope that helps, Ans e ll  22:38, 9 November 2006 (UTC)


 * You may want to integrate the following quote after it is authenticated from a primary source "There is no more beautiful musical instrument than the voice of Nancy LaMott. Bob Harrington, New York Post" The link for this may also be useful for backing up the statement about the recording of her last album
 * It looks like there are a few reviews out there which comment on her work. Ans e ll  22:50, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi again, Ansell: There were a few reviews on her in several online cabaret magazines. I will ask some people whom I'm sure have something that can be used as references. Thanks!! Nancylamottfan 06:27, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
