notability

[edit]

Since I'm making a bunch of articles about philosophers, I figured I might as well set out explicit notability justifications on the talk page of each of them. Since she holds a distinguished professorship at a major university, Warnke meets criterion #5 of WP:ACADEMIC. The reviews her book has received would also make her pass WP:AUTHOR, and she'd also pass the WP:GNG. Kevin Gorman (talk) 00:15, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

primary sources tag

[edit]

This article does use a lot of (okay - entirely) primary sources currently, but Warnke is a Distinguished Professor at a prominent, high quality university. It would definitely be ideal for this article to have some additional secondary sources, and when I'm on campus (where I have access to journal archives etc,) tomorrow I'll look around to see what I can dig up in terms of reviews and such. Since she's written four books, it's pretty likely that some exist. However, it's also common for secondary sources about notable academics to be sparse, or even non-existent (at least until after they die.) Since Warnke clearly meets #5 of WP:ACADEMIC and all of the information in this article does comply with WP:V, if by some fluke of chance I can't turn up any secondary sources, I may wind up removing the {{primary}} tag in 48 hours or so. This is a verifiable article about a notable subject, and it doesn't make any novel analytic claims, so I don't think it's worth cluttering up the top of the article with a primary tag.

Just leaving myself some notes on secondary material to grab tomorrow: [1] [2] [3] [4] Kevin Gorman (talk) 03:47, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
