On notability[edit]

Let's say I get a webpage and on it I state, "John form Idegon is actually Abraham Lincoln". Does that mean I am Abraham Lincoln? Of course not! Referncing an article to the subject's website and then removing the notability tag is not at all appropriate. In all actuality this article should probably go to AfD. I really do not see anything anywhere except the books she has written, which in and of themselves, do not make her notable and a couple passing mentions in articles about child rearing. What is needed is an article about her, or one of her books to win an award. John from Idegon (talk) 17:03, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

definitely, hopefully the added sources clear that up. >> M.P.Schneider,LC (parlemus • feci) 03:17, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Donald Trump on Facebook[edit]

Obviously sharing Facebook posts as sources is generally not good, but I would figure that the soon-to-be-president sharing your interview is noteworthy. It seems to be a little grey reading the policies about this. I'm not going to fight this as it is not the only noteworthy thing she did. It was mentioned in this interview with a local paper too if that is a better source. >> M.P.Schneider,LC (parlemus • feci) 03:20, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Only if secondary sources say so. Drmies (talk) 13:20, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- So I should cite the local paper where the interviewer asks her about Trump endorsing her? (Link in above comment.) I'll make that change if that is the better way to indicate this. Here's the removed text from the reference if later this is reversed: "This video is no longer on their website but Donald Trump's Shareis still live." 15:28, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
  - "Trump endorsed her" (whatever "endorse" means--it's not like he reads books, or books on parenting) is not grounds for notability. But he didn't even endorse her: he just shared a video link in a tweet. Drmies (talk) 17:58, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - You're right that "endorse" is too strong of a word here. But if the question is notability, then having a video of yourself shared by one of the most well known people in the world, does show a degree of notability.>> M.P.Schneider,LC (parlemus • feci) 19:45, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

edits made and proposed[edit]

Suggest that the second paragraph (placed in parenthesis) is removed and have edited the key points into the article further down. Have not deleted the sentence, due to the article deletion discussion ongoing. I am a new user, and thus apologise if this is incorrect, but did not wish to blank it. Not familiar with American media, so if the wikilinks I have not edited in are very pertinent they could be re-instated in the later section. Kaybeesquared (talk) 00:12, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for all the additional sources. I moved one Ref that repeated down below in case this paragraph is deleted. I would vote to put that more towards the end but keep it, but if the votes go for deleting, I won't bring up a strong objection. >> M.P.Schneider,LC (parlemus • feci) 00:32, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
