Comments on Virginia C. Bulat for deletion

This article should not be deleted for several reasons -
1) there is very little information available for those interested in studying the local history of Illinois, both the books by Virginia C. Bulat are early examples of a WOMAN HISTORIAN documenting the rapid historical changes in the region that was developed into the suburbs of Illinois;
2) she was a WOMAN HISTORIAN who was of Polish-American heritage - there should be recognition and acknowledgment as "notable" of the published work of a POLISH-AMERICAN WOMAN who was involved AT THE LOCAL LEVEL in PRESERVING CHICAGO SUBURBAN or NORTHERN ILLINOIS HISTORY;

3) this artile will be linked to the stub - Hoffman Tower - this is a state recognized landmark much discussed in the two books written by Virginia C. Bulat -- the wikipedia stub is extremely deficient in documenting the history of the landmark. Both Virginia C. Bulat's books were used in the process of achieving landmark status.

4) addressing one of the reasons for proposed deletion - there is no current coverage on these books - this is because the author Virginia C. Bulat has been dead since 1986. Due to her early historical documentation, and through the efforts of her co-author Rose Benedetti - Hoffman Tower was made into a recognized landmark in the 1970s and 1980s.

5) Local Lyons and Riverside news articles citations can be retrieved from the local libraries to document the preservation efforts -- this will take time to retrieve.

6) a related article will be added to Wikipedia on co-author Rose Marie Benedetti, an ITALIAN-AMERICAN WOMAN HISTORIAN of LOCAL ILLINOIS HISTORY. Both articles (Bulat and Benedetti) are important in documenting that WOMEN HISTORIANS whose IMMIGRANT ANCESTORS came to CHICAGO have worked to document the history of SUBURBAN CHICAGO, not just recently, but starting in the 1950s, as Chicago was just starting its expansion into COOK COUNTY.

7) Personal information on the Virginia C. Bulat has been removed to emphasize her professional contributions.

8) As background to my comments made above, I am a professional historian and professor of history (Ph.D., UCLA, 1999).

Welcome to Wikipedia, see links

Welcome!

Hello, CACD29, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}} before the question. Again, welcome! Wikipedia can be an especially bewildering place for scholars - it's a wonderland where original research is unwanted, but reliable secondary sources are cherished. Bearian (talk)

P.S. I think that when "Personal information on the Virginia C. Bulat has been removed to emphasize her professional contributions," you made an error, as removing such information actually reduces her notability! Bearian (talk) 22:28, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

CACD29, I just wanted to drop in to thank you for joining wikipedia and for your creation of articles such as William Harvey Gibson. We need your contributions. I am sorry you have to go thru the Bulat thing so early, but in the long run hopefully it will help you know where to focus your contributions. When you are relying on information you have obtained directly from a person's family, and there are few independent sources establishing notability of a person, that's a red flag. E.g., I've created a few articles on early lieutenant governors of Nebraska for fun (Alfred W. Agee) because I knew that someone who held that statewide office will never be deleted.

Proposed deletion of Paul S. Boardman

Your submission at Articles for creation: Paul Stepanek Boardman (February 13)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Legacypac was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Topic was prod'd out of mainspace as not notable.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.
