Draft:Robert L. Selman
To provide a little more feedback on the draft: As I said yesterday via IRC, its sources largely are Selman's own writings, and the draft then provides your interpretation of those primary sources. A Wikipedia article should instead be a summary of what secondary sources - published reviews of Selman's works, articles about him published in newspapers and reputable magazines, maybe a festschrift - have reported about him. This goes particularly for interpretation, and for content that could be considered promotional. Significant parts of the draft don't cite any references, and if that were a live article I'd immediately add "[citation needed]" tags - for example, not even the primary sources connect Selman to My Little Pony, and at a glance I failed to find a source that confirms the connection. Phrases such as "is perhaps best known for X" would need a source that not only confirms Selman did X - but what he is best known for. If no such sources can be found, such phrases should be reworded. "Seminal work" could be seen as a peacock term and would again need a third-party source discussing the importance of the work in question. In general, a shorter, well-sourced article would be preferable over a long, weakly-sourced one. Huon (talk) 09:46, 3 May 2015 (UTC)
