Discussion on a potentially innacurate sentence at Childhood Dementia

You are invited to join the discussion at Talk:Childhood dementia#Are NCLs the most common subtype of conditions in Childhood Dementia? on whether the sentence:"Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses, a group of lysosomal storage disorders, are thought to be its most common subtype." is accurate, and if it isn't, thenwhat the best course of action is.

My hope is that we can reach a consensus on whether the sentence is accurate or not. And if not, then what the best course of action is. Irina Rainbow (talk) 18:55, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Walt Balenovich, Disabled Author

Hello,

I am a disabled Author, Walt Balenovich, from Canada, who has written a book about backpacking the world alone, in a wheelchair.

The book is "Travels in a Blue Chair: Alaska to Zambia, Ushuaia to Uluru". How do I get a page about me written, without it getting deleted? I have tried over the years, but to no avail.

I can't even find much content about Disabled Authors' contributions to literature, although much is included about Black, LGBTQ+, Hispanic, Asian and various Religious folk! Can someone please help me/us to get out of the Wikipedia shadows, and receive a bit of Wikipedia equality?!!!

You may be Wikipedia-notable if people with no connection to you have written about you. Ditto your book may be Wikipedia-notable (separate from you) if people have written about/reviewed your book. Your social media and bookseller websites (Amazon, etc.) do not count as references establishing notability. Same for published interviews. See WP:42.

So not hope of this project identifying Disabled Authors then? What is the point of this project? 2607:FEA8:1380:276:1599:D439:6DD0:ACAB (talk) 23:30, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
