August 2022: Your sandbox article
[edit]Hi, I've read the article you have in your sandbox, and noticed that you have not cited any reliable sources, not connected to Angela, which have published, in-depth coverage of her. Your sources include user-generated sites like IMdB, as well as those factoid-aggregating sites like "44", which are not often entirely accurate, being mass-produced. A long list of acting roles doesn't demonstrate her notability. Neither does mention of Ruby Dee, Denzel or Marla Gibbs, because notability is not derived from colleagues or associates. Notability comes from being covered in reliable, independent sources, as I described above. Your best course would be to read Your first article, including the pages it links to in blue type. Demonstrating notability is the first, and most important, hurdle to pass in creating an article on Wikipedia. If you cannot find the 2 or 3 reliable sources Wikipedia requires, then an article about Angela at this point in time may be declined until she has received sufficient coverage. Wikipedia is not the place for resumes, nor for promotion, nor is it a directory. It's just a dry, neutral encyclopedia of "notable topics".
PS: If you find articles on Wikipedia from years past which don't meet our standards as I describe above, see Other stuff exists. Wikipedia is a work in progress, with many older articles deleted each day, edited by volunteers. --Quisqualis (talk) 22:40, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
