Hi there, I would like to create a page for the soap opera website, www.Soaps.com. They are the largest soap opera website on the internet and I do not believe there is a page for them, as I have searched. They are reliable and provide news for all soap operas.

Can I get feedback as to if it's a good idea to create?

Thank-you Vamier

Hello? Can anyone read this? I completed the page and wondered if anyone can tell me if it's correct!! Vamier
 * I tagged the article because I don't see how the subject is notable. She is said to be "award winning," but the link provided seems to be a contest (with the prize of a book), not really a writing award.  Is there any third-party coverage of the subject other than the web interview already linked to? janejellyroll 01:53, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi, thank you! Sorry. I am new at this. I found that the author's webpage has several awards here. http://www.amymistretta.com/id27.html - both for her website and books. Do I put that site in or is there one site there that is preferable? I'm sorry to be a bother!! Thanks so much! She is such a fantastic author that I was surprised nobody made a wikipedia page for her!! Vamier
 * First of all, it is absolutely not a bother! I'm always glad to help.  That said, I'm not sure that any of the awards listed on that page are notable enough to confer notability on the subject.  I understand that you think she is "fantastic," but that isn't enough to justify a Wikipedia article.  First step:  Take a look at WP:BIO to determine if this subject meets notability requirements.  If you feel the subject meets the requirements, supply the necessary sources in the article.  Here is what that page has to say about creative professionals (authors).
 * Creative professionals: scientists, academics, economists, professors, authors, editors, journalists, filmmakers, photographers, artists, architects, engineers, and other creative professionals.

 * The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by their peers or successors.
 * The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory or technique.
 * The person has created a significant or well-known work, or collective body of work, which has been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews.
 * The person's work either (a) has been displayed in a significant exhibition or as a monument (b) has won significant critical attention, or (c) is represented within the permanent collection of a significant gallery or museum of more than local significance.

Oh thank you! Oh dear. Does this mean I have to take the page down? Gosh. I can't think of anything else to justify it. She's an Editor for that popular #1 soap opera site Soaps.com but I don't know what else. Gosh, I really wanted to email her to tell her that this was her page. I have to step out for a moment to get a prescription. I will be back soon for your answer! thank you so much Vamier
 * You don't have to take the page down, but at this point I don't see the article surviving an Articles for Deletion discussion. Even if Soaps.com is a very popular site, that wouldn't automatically make somebody who works on the site notable.  If it's any consolation, the world is full of wonderful people who aren't "notable" enough for Wikipedia articles.  Please let me know if you have any more questions or if I can help in any other way.  janejellyroll 02:17, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Okay well, I'll go with whatever you decide! Thanks a bunch for all your wonderful help!!!! Vamier
