Hi there, I'm new to wikipedia and I posted this entry. I'm not clear why it is being bounced. I have researched and sourced all the material used and the there isn't any unoriginal material or padding - please advise. (Dharmabrown)

There is always a question about whether an article is needed/justified by showing that the subject matter is 'notable'. It is a difficult thing to demonstrate. Politicians, actors, sports figures, scientists and the like are easy to justify. Other people have a harder time. Musicians often have to show they have actually published music (e.g. CDs, #copies sold, rankings) and writers books (e.g. ISBN numbers and #copies sold).

One discussion of the rules is at Wikipedia:Notability. One of the sub-categories, like Wikipedia:Notability (books), might be more specifically useful. I'm no expert, and am often surprised as what is and what isn't considered notable.

Just looking around I find:

Mention in a book:

eurocentric contexts

Re: notability - I think there is an issue here about the contexts in which non eurocentric artists, writers, film makers etc. emerge. The measure of notability that is being appled to this entry appears to me to be eurocentric - here is a non-white artist and writer, who is published, being reviewed, discussed in academic articles, is a peer of Patience Agbabi, who by the way is deemed notable and has a page on wikipedia, yet this entry is under threat of deletion - why? The fact is Raman Mundair does have academic and popular notability. (217.42.106.235 13:01, 21 March 2007 (UTC) )[reply]

The trouble is in establishing that that is true, through the use of references that can be cited. I don't understand enough about the process, certainly, but there is a process. What is 'obvious' to one person or even many, somehow needs to be put into the article so that 'other' people can know it too. Can you bring any more details / references to the article or this talk page? Shenme 20:54, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
