Contested deletion

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because all articles, videos and Twitter posts are properly credited. Siyanda Mohutsiwa is an internationally recognised satirical writer. --Bdale77 (talk) 14:50, 8 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Bdale77 Note on sourcing. WP requires Reliable Sources (RS) from sources which are not affiliated with the subject. In other words, she cannot be the source of her own notability, but other recognized media must have deemed her notable. Ted talks, Twitter, Facebook, and blogs are typically not written by experts, nor known for a neutral point of view and are to be avoided. Adding sourcing from respected news outlets which have journalistic control will improve the article and protect it from threats of deletion. SusunW (talk) 16:41, 10 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
