Deletion is a difficult issue. You'd be amazed at the amount of time I waste on deleting "articles" such as: "John Smith is an amazing guy and I love him" or "Ethel Evans is stupid and nobody likes her". In the case of real people, the main thing is to provide a clear explanation of why the person is notable and references to show that this is the case. The fact that Judith Wallerstein carried out a lot of research isn't in itself notable. If her research has subsequently been much used, then you should say so in the article and explain its significance. I admit, though, that the warning bells rang as a result of your comment saying that you were creating a rough article "in the hope of attracting contributors" (or words to that effect). I inferred from this - presumably I was mistaken - that you were in some way involved with her research and wanted to get other people involved in it. Please do go ahead and expand the article in the light of what I've said above. Deb (talk) 16:56, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
