A summary of some guidelines you may find useful

Please sign your posts on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~, found next to the 1 key), and please do not alter other's comments (without their express permission). You may remove your own comments in the future.
"Truth" is not the criteria for inclusion, verifiability is.
We do not publish original thought nor original research.
Reliable sources typically include: articles from magazines or newspapers (particularly scholarly journals), or books by recognized authors (basically, books by respected publishers). Online versions of these are usually accepted, provided they're held to the same standards. User generated sources (like Wikipedia) are to be avoided. Self-published sources should be avoided except for information by and about the subject that is not self-serving (for example, citing a company's website to establish something like year of establishment).
Articles are to be written from a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not concerned with facts or opinions, it just summarizes reliable sources.

Speedy deletion nomination of Geeta Aiyer

Hello Kameshaiyer,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Geeta Aiyer for deletion, because it seems to be vandalism or a hoax.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Xanthomelanoussprog (talk) 13:51, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Help me!

Please help me with writing a biographical article based on the following profile of Geeta Aiyer of Boston Common Asset Management in the Wall Street Journal?

https://www.wsj.com/articles/sustainable-investing-a-defense-1441769025

I would also link the BLP to "Socially Responsible Investing", "UN PRI" (where Geeta Aiyer is currently a board member representing North American investment professionals, CERES (who awarded GA the SRI Service Award in 2014).

My confusion is whether the WSJ article is a primary or a secondary source as a big chunk of it is an interview of GA by the WSJ journalist. Would the non-interview part be considered a secondary source, while the interview is a primary source?

I'd call that WSJ article a primary source. The non-interview part has next to no information about Aiyer, certainly far too little to write an encyclopeia article about her, which would require multiple sources anyway. A Google News search brought up this article, but very, very little else. I rather don't think Aiyer meets Wikipedia's standards of notability. If you can find additional sources that cover her in greater detail, you can use the Article Wizard to create a draft and submit it for a review by an experienced editor.
