Prod contested by author. Independent author/artist whose references are all self-generated, internal publications of her graduate school, or event listings that only mention subject's name. Fails notability requirements at WP:CREATIVE. justinfr (talk/contribs) 11:37, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dear editors: I am new to wikipedia, and apologize if the previous article was too flamboyant. Please let me know what I can do to improve the article so that it is more appropriate. I will gladly add more citations, or make changes as requested.

As a sidenote: I would draw your attention to the other "famous" residents of North Hollywood. Stephen Christian, while his band is notable, has posted a lengthy, self-promoting (and rather poorly written)excerpt from his self-published novel. Bria Myles, while quite beautiful, is famous mainly for dancing scantily clad.

Who is truly notable, here? We are hollywood north.

Lambert is a struggling, independent writer who is trying to find her way. She has a thirteen-year exhibition and performance career, and a contract with Future Fiction London for her first novel. Many, many pages, have gone into this, years of starvation, institutionalization, and striving with her craft.

Is there perhaps a way to modify this article so that it is more acceptable? Thank you for your consideration. Deedwhite (talk) 22:51, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The problem isn't the article per se but the notability of the subject. In order to have an article she must meet the guidelines in WP:CREATIVE. WP is a place to describe people who are already notable, not a place to build notability. Lastly, you're right about the Christian article. I removed that section from the article. justinfr (talk/contribs) 01:00, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
