Hi SapphireDagger, to be added to an article a person needs to meet notability criteria for Wikipedia. I see you are working on User:SapphireDagger/Mialie T. Szymanski, so I will not remove the link to her for now, but I also note that the article needs to establish her notability per WP:NN. The best way to do this is by reference to multiple third-party sources independent of the subject (so news stories are good, but not from the newspaper the person is writing for). See WP:V, WP:RS and WP:CITE.

From the little that is there so far, I doubt that Ms. Szymanski is notable in Wikipedia sense, but neither am I or almost all of the world's population. I would look specifically at WP:AUTHOR for the notability guidelines on authors.

By the way, if you are or are closely related to Ms. Szymanski in some way, then you may have a conflict of interest and so should not be editing articles about her anyway.

Please ask here or on my talk page if you have any questions and I hope this helps. Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 14:57, 30 September 2011 (UTC)


 * We've read the Wiki guidelines thoroughly before we began, so rest assured we are familiar with the policies you took the time to cite. You mentioned you see the article on Miss Szymanski is in progress - indeed it is, which is why there is "little" to prove she is notable at the moment. By comparison, we have found several people on Wiki, including Ms. Mayfield as cited in our editing notes, that Miss Szymanski is either just as notable or possibly even moreso than some who already have standing Wiki articles. The one reference link we've had time to attach is for the sake of proving the published work mentioned. We'll be sure to add a few third-party references for good measure.

 * Thanks for the reply. I moved your comment down here to follow WIki conventions (and to keep the conversation threads together). FYI, I see no (zero) reference links in the article draft, or in the Newton Falls article. When you say "we" please also note that accounts on Wikipedia are generally restricted to one person only (or is this the Royal we ;-) )?

 * PS Please read WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS and please note that any article you feel does not meet Wikipedia's notability requirements can be nominated for deletion. I am sure you have read up on that too, so I will not cite policy. Plesae do note that articles are expected to have the bulk of their references to reliable independent third-part sources, not just "a few...for good measure".
