Tagged for notability and need for a complete rewrite

[edit]

Thanks for adding the full rewrite tag. I guess that means the topic is important enough. --Uncle Ed (talk) 06:42, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What part of "The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline. Please help to establish notability by adding reliable, secondary sources about the topic. If notability cannot be established, the article is likely to be merged, redirected, or deleted" did you fail to comprehend? No, this does not mean that "the topic is important enough", and ladling on more citations to Grossbard-Shechtman herself will do nothing whatsoever to improve this.

Msrasnw, thanks for adding some details. I hope it's enough to prevent deletion of this article. Some contributors feel that a "stub" needs to developed to a certain point (viability?) or else it should not exist at all. Others, such as myself, feel that with a cooperative effort, a small article can quickly and easily be made viable. The question is whether prod and AfD should be used to stimulate this process; and also whether misuse of prod and AfD could discourage contributors from volunteering. --Uncle Ed (talk) 17:04, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your thanks. I can't see how this can fail in an Afd now. But I have been wrong before. Such Afds can be a useful spur to action but they still seem to me not the right way to go with the Afds perhaps using up more time than the article. As a side issue I have added little articles on the journal and on the economics of marriage which seem potentially useful. Best wishes (Msrasnw (talk) 17:10, 25 January 2012 (UTC))[reply]
