Help me!
Please help me with...I want to write about a Yemeni public figure. She is a journalist and social activist, I have the refrences and I wonder why there is no article about her. She is well known. Can you help me to write in a way that would be accepted on wikipedia?

 * I'd say the references are critical here. You say you have them; are you sure they are reliable and independent? Few journalists are written about in enough detail to meet our standards of notability (and their own writings clearly are not independent). If this journalist and activist has indeed been written about by others, then you can use the Article Wizard to create a draft that summarizes (in your own words, copy-pasting or closely paraphrasing would cause copyright issues) what those sources report about her. You should of course cite your sources so our readers can verify on their own that the summary is accurate. Pleae note that merely summarizing what you know about her is not enough; if you base the article on your personal knowledge, not on published references, that's considered original research and not accepted by Wikipedia. If you have further questions, you're welcome to ask here or on my talk page. Happy editing! Huon (talk) 18:55, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
