Your draft
[edit]Hi Stuyvesant Street, I spotted the draft you're developing and just wanted to drop you a note to make sure you are aware of the requirements for the inclusion of biographies in the project. Put simply, unless multiple reliable sources (for example newspapers or magazines) have written significant, in depth articles about someone, then we shouldn't have an article on them. I've had a quick check to see if I can find any sources you could use but haven't found any, so it may be best not to move the article into the mainspace. We have a lot of articles that about living people that probably do not meet this requirement, but it would help to not add to the problem. Feel free to reply below, or drop a note on my talk page if you have any questions, or if you find sources for the draft and want to know whether it now meets the guidelines for inclusion. Happy editing SmartSE (talk) 23:48, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
Hello SmartSE
[edit]Thanks for the welcome—much appreciated. And sorry for the delayed response—I'm just now getting over a lousy little flu which came on rather suddenly the other day. I do think Susan is worthy of an entry. It's true that (as is the case with most of the other people connected with 42) she herself has not been profiled extensively. But she's been the key figure for several years now in a company that's causing people to rethink both entertainment and marketing, and she's regularly quoted in the media and talking at conferences. If I didn't know anything about the subject, I'd want to know who she was—at least in brief, with some references etc. to point to more if I wanted it. However, I don't want to belabor this now. I think the best thing might be for me to work on some of the other subjects I'm interested in and revisit this one a bit later, after I've gotten the hang of the place and (hopefully) built up some trust. Does that sound okay? Stuyvesant Street (talk) 03:44, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
