An article that you have been involved in editing, Stephanie Sarkis, has been listed for deletion.

Given your user name ("Sarkis") and subject of the article in question, a concern of conflict of interest as well as self-promotion has been raised. Writing autobiographical articles is discouraged. Key Wikipedia policies include neutral point of view and reliable sources. It could be helpful for you to review the links above, as well as those mentioned on the deletion discussion to address concerns. Please note that in the context of Wikipedia, using "recognized expert" and other similar terms requires strong reliable sources to establish. More neutral wording is appropriate unless it is obvious, such as saying that the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is an expert on U.S. military issues. — ERcheck (talk) 15:42, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, notable book reviews, for the purposes of Wikipedia notability, would include publications such as the 'New York Times. — ERcheck (talk) 15:44, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
