Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Carole Bamford (2nd nomination)

Carol Bamord
Hi Guys, Again apologies, I'm struggling to get to grips with the way we interact on here and message each other so Im not sure if Im doing this in the right place.

Following on from your recent messages I'm happy to revisit the article and write it in a way that sounds less like it's promotional. I'm just getting to grips with it all so please bear with me.

I would have thought the notability of the page was fine. Carole Bamford has made huge contributions to the improvements in sustainable and organic farming practices and the subsequent drive to promote considered or sustainable consumption. Additionally, her work on significant NSPCC campaigns makes her achievements notable. I can try to re-write the doc to feel less PR like (it's not meant to be that in any way)

I could definitely do with some pointers on referencing. I tried to back up any claims with credible websites and organisations recognising her efforts and achievements i.e. the official BBC food and farming awards etc. but I'm under the impression these weren't felt to be credible? Am I understanding that right? I can try to find more sources :)

I'm more than happy to change the whole tone of the article to sound less like an advert, that was never my intention. Duderood (talk) 14:27, 13 September 2021 (UTC)Duderood


 * The biggest problem is the reliance on press release-style material, and the focus on awards. Press releases in general are not considered reputable sources, and if you really want to include mentions of awards, it would be best to support this by showing coverage in media sources that are secondary, independent and clearly not press release-based. The Forbes link is just a general information page about Anthony Bamford. The Talking Shop piece is ok; it would also be supportive of a piece on Daylesford Organic. Try to find some highly rated WP:RS/PS media sources. Iskandar323 (talk) 16:56, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
