Directions for expanding any division below

[edit]

The general outline and collection has been started, but if you would like to expand and organize a discipline, here's what you do. Right below the page heading for the discipline insert this: {{subst:Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Work groups/Division banner}} and save. This will put a rough outline together for you and then you can edit it to conform to your area. See Writers and critics below for an example. If your project grows large enough where it's taking up a good portion of this page, you should probably move it to a subpage of this page.

You might also want to make a Members section for people to join your specific area!

Tagging articles

[edit]

Any article related to this work group should be marked by adding |a&e-work-group=yes to the {{WPBiography}} project banner at the top of its talk page. This will automatically place it into Category:Arts and entertainment work group articles. Articles can be assessed for priority within this work group by using the |a&e-priority= parameter. See Template:WikiProject Biography/doc for detailed instructions on how to use the banner.

I do not believe TJ Norris meets notability guidelines, either general or for artists. This page has somehow survived more than a decade without a single reference listed, and I can currently only find one: this 2013 article about Norris being hired by an art museum. According to the News section of his website, his work has been featured in various publications and festivals, none of which are particularly notable.

There was a previous AfD that resulted in a "keep" in 2007, but the discussion was partially hijacked by sockpuppets or meatpuppets whose accounts were created the same day and only ever edited that AfD: Soapsnydler (talk · contribs), SnyderStephanie (talk · contribs), and Kevredmond (talk · contribs).

  • Delete. The Google searches are clear that he is not the most notable person called TJ Norris and that at least one other person might have a better claim to this article title. He also does not seem to be more than very minimally notable even if you try to see past that. Adding "artist" to the searches turns up some passing mentions. The only even slightly substantial thing I found was this, which focuses on his appointment as a curator and, even the, its not much. That's nothing like enough. The books, discography and awards are not impressive. The monograph was published through a publisher that does not have an article. Factor in the promotional intent and the past COI editing and... there's no hope for this. --DanielRigal (talk) 11:51, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Quite aside from being created by COIs and SPAs, saved at deletion by SPAs, kept out of one of those all-too-typical headcount over policy 2000s closes, this is a fine example of something I call 0+0+0+0=0.

Hi TheLongTone - thank you for your long work on Wikipedia. I did not receive any sort of compensation for this article, but I probably should have disclosed that the subject was known to me as a friend-of-a-friend sort of thing. I thought based on the coverage in mainstream US media (Washington Post, Business Insider, Bank Rate) that the subject met notability requirements, and tried to write the article as well sourced and neutral as I could. I'll accept the decision of this page. 37and7 (talk) 14:45, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I found this page via the Fringe Theory Noticeboard. The issue there was that she promotes alternative methods for cancer prevention and treatment, and the article came across as if this is not a controversial thing to do. ie it's promo/fringe.

While looking for critical coverage of her, it became apparent to me that there actually isn't any, and that it's not actually clear why she should have a page. Her media appearances are fleeting and mostly decidedly local. Her one apparent claim to fame is that in the 1990s, she was part of a successful campaign for reconstructive breast surgery for breast cancer patients to be covered by insurance. The problem is, all the evidence for her having a prominent role comes back to her claims about herself in media, or a very short article she herself wrote in the American Journal of Surgery: Horner-Taylor, Christine (1998). "The breast reconstruction advocacy project: One woman can make a difference". The American Journal of Surgery. 175 (2): 85–86. doi:10.1016/S0002-9610(97)00271-7. ISSN 0002-9610. PMID 9515520.. When I looked for contemporaneous media coverage of the bill that got the surgery covered, it's (a) sparse, and (b) doesn't mention her. As far as I can see, she didn't win any prizes or awards for it, and her own article is unclear how big a role she played in the campaign. In short, I don't think she passes WP:ANYBIO.

Non-notable actor/author etc. None of the sources cited contribute towards notability of any flavour, and BEFORE finds nothing better.

Article is about a person who wrote an investment advice book as a teenager.

I don't think this person is notable enough. I couldn't find enough reliable sources to prove its notability. فيصل (talk) 01:12, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. Of all nation-states, Qatar has the lowest proportion of women biographies: under 8%, according to humaniki. It feels like there's some WP:Systemic bias here, which was why I created the page. Dsp13 (talk) 11:42, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I have found and added several sources, which are overviews of Arab women writers and literature, tertiary sources rather than secondary. The content within them about this writer is short, but the fact that they include her, and the way they write about her writing, leads me to think that secondary sources exist. The last source currently in the article, at magazine.jouhina.com, is unfortunately a deadlink and not archived (as far as I have been able to find). From what I can see on the Wayback Machine of other articles in that magazine, it would have included critique of her writing, by the author of the article and others, and biographical detail, and would certainly count as SIGCOV. Perhaps a WP editor will have access to it offline. I have tried googling her Arabic name (I do not read or speak Arabic!), and there is one source the title of which translates as Writers from the Arabian Gulf, with the content described as "Arab authors; women Arab authors; Persian Gulf countries; biography." Even if I could read Arabic, only a snippet view is available on Google Books, but if anyone has access to أدباء وأديبات من الخليج العربي offline, it may also be useful.

I am not sure if he is notable. Most of sources seem to be either primary or only tangentially related to him. I am unsure whether he meets WP:CREATIVE; points 3 and 4 are relevant. I am not sure if the attention he got was critical and whether his work has been covered in enough periodical articles. (I see [19], but not much more.) Even if The Little Red Book of Selling had made him notable, he would seem to be a bit too BLP1E-ish, as the rest of the coverage is more-or-less trivial or primary.

  • Keep - I see plenty of good sources. I remember the incident that lead to his being banned from the airline, so BLP1E doesn't apply. There are issues with the article, but they can be resolved through ordinary editing. Bearian (talk) 13:51, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Article does not meet Wikipedia’s notability guidelines, because there is no significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. Most references are primary or technical sources rather than in-depth third-party discussions of Don Libes himself. The article reads more like a CV than an appropriate Wiki biography Neurorocker (talk) 02:31, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Their Google Scholar page seems to sufficiently demonstrate their notability as an academic. Madeleine (talk) 03:03, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Apart from the cited links, I couldn't find much info on the web supporting notability. Soumyapatra13 (talk) 12:01, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Fails WP:CREATIVE and WP:BIO. LibStar (talk) 22:16, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I have added some info and a reference, and will continue looking for more. Like Eddie891, I think having an obit in Indian Literature and being described as "a major voice in Indian poetry and women's writing" in My Birth Was Not In Vain: Selected Poems by Seven Bengali Women are good indications that she is notable and that there is more coverage. She published many poems in Bengali, and there is likely to be coverage in Bengali language sources (not Bengali Wikipedia), and other languages of the subcontinent. Frustratingly, many of the English language sources which come up in a Google Books source are snippet view only. I hope someone with access to relevant hardcopy sources will add more.
