Danielle Rayburn

Thanks for your interest and participation here! Just so you understand why your recent edits to Danielle Rayburn were reverted, your plot summary was basically way too long and detailed, and the "Name Debate" section is considered editor POV/OR when it is not supported by reliable external sources (like a Soap Opera Digest article on the topic). To meet WP guidelines for articles on fictional topics (and therefore not be deleted), articles on fictional characters need to contain more than plot summary; they need to be well-sourced, contain as much real-world context as possible, and assert notability for the character. People like to create new articles for every new soap character who appears for a week, but the bulk of these articles directly violate policy and are in constant danger of deletion if not improved. I encourage you to keep contributing, though I suggest not making drastic/controversial edits until you're more familiar with policy. You can also begin or participate in discussions on article talk pages regarding potential changes. Let me know if you need any guidance for future edits. Thanks! — TAnthony^Talk 18:00, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
