I agree with your second point that it does not have enough content therefore I am adding a "stub" tag to encourage others to add to it. However I disagree with your first point: it is certainly more important than the energy policies of Belgium, Scotland, Finland or Romania which are all listed in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Energy_policy_by_country Jzlcdh (talk) 06:06, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Such a page could be valuable, but right now it doesn't string together or make much sense. Can you address that point to improve the page? Jeremy112233 (talk) 13:16, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Jeremy makes a good point that it did not string together, so I have expanded it slightly and added a Min. of Energy reference. Thanks Whpq - I have now added a similar book but more recent. Obviously whoever made the redlink which prompted me to create it thought an article was needed. It was only started a few days ago so give it a chance.

Minor critic of Wikipedia. Does not appear to have sufficient independent reliable source coverage or notability. Previously deleted three times. Gamaliel (talk) 19:16, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There are sufficient independent sources giving non-trivial coverage to establish notability. The last discussion was over six years ago. Most of the sources for the current article are more recent than that. Aymatth2 (talk) 19:46, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete no person should be burdened with one of these lodestones given the incompetence of the average Wikipedia editor and the revenge and defamation motivations of more than a few. Mr. Kohs' life has not been the subject of any in depth consideration - anywhere. It is impossible to adhere to Wikipedia's policies in the absence of in-depth, quality work about him, most importantly the Website's so-called "Neutral Point of View" policy. For instance, 95% of Mr. Kohs life is devoted to his hobbies, his family, and his work as a market researcher. Yet the Wikipedia article about him devotes 60% of its space to his involvement in Wikipedia criticism and internet entrepreneurship. Let's consider the so-called "reliable sources:"

1. Idea of paid entries roils Wikipedia - http://www.nbcnews.com/id/16793247/ns/technology_and_science-tech_and_gadgets/t/idea-paid-entries-roils-wikipedia/#.UavgY9LBPTc An AP article entirely devoted to Kohs involvement in the 2007 dispute over paid editing in Wikipedia. Article mentions him plenty - but is not about him, rather the paid editing fight.

2. A Collection of Community Media Debates and Dilemmas|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=M1yNL0iI5T0C&pg=PA142 An entirely passing mention in an essay collection. The entirety of the Kohs related content is one sentence: "For example, Gregory Kohs was shut out of the site after he launched MyWikiBiz as a service to write entries for businesses." This sentence is cited to the above article Idea of paid entries roil Wikipedia. Adds nothing.

3. How Can a Small Business Get on Wikipedia? http://blog.intuit.com/marketing/how-can-a-small-business-get-on-wikipedia/ A blog. They are almost always no-nos for Wikipedia "biographies of living people." This blog merely quotes Kohs providing advice to companies on how to deal with Wikipedia. Contains zero biographical information about him. He's just quoted.

4. Gregory Kohs, publisher of MyWikiBiz.com, Philadelphia http://www.business-superstar.com/superstar-of-the-week/gregory-kohs-publisher-of-mywikibiz-com-philadelphia/

A Q&A at a website designed to promote entreupreneurs. Not the quality press. Not academia. The author of the Q&A is the same person, Phil Hall, as the author of the intuit blog. But no matter, not a suitable source for constructing a neutral biographical article.

5. Press Release - Announcing a new Wikipedia criticism site http://wikipediocracy.com/press-release/ Self-explanatory. A press release. That merely mentions Kohs name in passing.

6. Wikipedia Blocks a Pay-for-Play Scheme http://chronicle.com/blogs/wiredcampus/wikipedia-blocks-a-pay-for-play-scheme/2796 Another blog from 2007 that mentions Kohs bannination over MyWikiBiz (his paid editing venture) that is both a "blog" and contains no useful biographical information.

7. Wiki-palooza Part III: The world of wikis and how b2b marketing can win in this game http://www.funnelholic.com/2008/08/06/wiki-palooza-part-iii-the-world-of-wikis-and-how-b2b-marketing-can-win-in-this-game/ A... wait for it... wait for it... blog from 2008 about "sales, marketing and things that drive revenue" that has a short Q&A with Kohs about MyWikiBiz and paid editing for corporations at Wikipedia.

8. Welcome to MyWikiBiz! http://www.mywikibiz.com/Main_Page - This is self-published source that doesn't contain any information about Kohs at all - not even his name (though it is a link to the business that he started).

9. A Whois lookup on the wikipediocracy.com domain name. http://www.whois-search.com/whois/www.Wikipediocracy.com This is not an acceptable source for a "BLP" ever, certainly not to either provide biographical information about the subject, nor to establish "notablity" in Wikipedia parlance.

10. The Future of the Internet – And How to Stop It http://yupnet.org/zittrain/archives/16#48 Apparently a link to a book that makes no mention of Kohs at all, although it does mention MyWikiBiz in two paragraphs within its 14 chapters.

11. Newspapers abound in cyber resources http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=SAEC&p_theme=saec&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0EAFE7E10DB1886F&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM

an article, apparently carried in the san antonio express news, from 1997 that mentions kohs in passing as the writer of an "e-zine."

12. CT in you clinical practice http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15461297

Links to an abstract of a survey of radiologists which Kohs co-authored. Biogrphical information? Zippo.

13. what's wrong with accepting money to write on Wikipedia. http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/business/technology/whats-wrong-with-accepting-money-to-write-on-wikipedia-469640/

This is in fact the same AP story as source 1, just with a different headline. (Misusing and attributing wire stories this way is a very common tactic on Wikipedia that few notice).

14/15/16. All are articles written by Kohs, not about Kohs (not even autobiographical). For instance - http://wikipediocracy.com/2013/01/16/whos-the-best-yoruban-wikipedian-of-them-all/

17. A Foxnews.com article about Wikipedia and porn that quotes Kohs. Once. No biographical info. http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2013/09/17/wikipedia-abandons-efforts-to-purge-porn-from-online-encyclopedia/

So to recap: None of "sources" provided treat Kohs in depth. Sources 3,4 6 and 7 are blogs that mention him briefly, only in connection to MyWikiBiz. Source 1 is the only mainstream news source of the 10, exclusively about MyWikiBiz thing in 2007. Sources 2 and 10 and 11 and 17 are passant mentions (10 is so passant it doesn't mention him at all). Source 5 is a press release that mentions Kohs only briefly. Source 8 is a link to his site that does not mention him at all. Source 9 is a "Whois" lookup about a domain registration. Source 13 is not a new source (identical to source 1, just made to look like an additional source).Dan Murphy (talk) 21:00, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    • I agree that hobbies, etc. is private, irrelevant, and non-notable information. But since Dan Murphy's response discusses at length the problems that the article has with sourcing, your accusation of WP:IDONTLIKEIT is nonsensical. Gamaliel (talk) 23:43, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      • The independent sources give a fair view of what makes the subject notable, not in terms of where or whether he went to kindergarten, but in terms of his important contributions to the evolution of the internet. Obviously he has sometimes taken a position that will be unwelcome to some editors. We should be careful to discount that in making the notability decision. The NBC article would in itself be sufficient to me. Aymatth2 (talk) 01:24, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Anyway. Really delete it. Or better yet waste a whole amount of time arguing about stupid stuff some more. Volunteer Marek  01:07, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Closure on an AfD is generally binary: keep or delete. It could be accompanied by a comment that there seems to be support for a merge. This next step could then be discussed on the talk page by interested editors, and if agreed implemented in the way that was agreed. Merge is done when the subject article has no chance of becoming non-trivial and the subject is part of the target, like an island in an archipelago or a subsidiary of a parent company. The merged content becomes a section in the target. A redirect is to an article with an alternate name for the subject, or to an article section that discusses the subject. I don't see either applying, but that can be discussed separately. This discussion is over whether the information should be purged from Wikipedia.
To make an unrelated point, I consider that Mr. Kohs has made significant contributions to the evolution of the web, which is why I started the article. But without wanting to imply any lack of respect, I would say that at this stage in his career he is at the lower end of notability according to Wikipedia criteria. If he asks for the article to be deleted it should be deleted. If not, it should be kept. Aymatth2 (talk) 00:46, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
No, actually, it is very clear at the AfD page that merge is a viable result of an AfD. The problem is that so many people are stuck in the keep/delete battle mentality to the point that rational middle paths are rarely considered and often ignored once suggested. You are also wrong about when merges or redirects are appropriate. Articles about people are often merged into or redirected to articles about groups or events with which the person is associated, even if there is no section for that person in those articles.--The Devil's Advocate tlk. cntrb. 03:26, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
TDA is quite right, AfDs result in merges or redirects all the time. Aymatth2, you need to improve your understanding of the process. — Scott talk 12:42, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"Merge" is a reasonable outcome if it is obvious how it will be accomplished, usually when all the content of the source article can be comfortably fitted into the target article. Examples would be a description of an island in an archipelago, an album by a rock band, a subsidiary of a parent company. In this case, much of the biographical information would not really be appropriate in the article on the company. The decision on how much to merge and how much to drop would be controversial. Better to first gain agreement through the requested merge process. On the other hand, MyWikiBiz seems to be a one-person company and could reasonably be merged into this article. Most of that article is about Kohs, and nothing would have to be dropped. Aymatth2 (talk) 16:07, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
  • Question: Why did Gamaliel nominate this particular article for deletion? What was his motivation? Reason I ask is because Gamaliel found it important enough to create Wikipedia's article about Lavabit. That article really concedes that even though Lavabit was launched in 2004, it was never notable for anything until July 2013, when "it was revealed that Edward Snowden was using the Lavabit email". In fact, if you look at all of the references used to support Lavabit's coverage prior to Snowden, Wikipedia points to several archived screen shots of Lavabit's old website, to Alexa.com, and to an incredibly flimsy "source" called Possibility.com. That's our standard for reliable sourcing to establish notability? So, do I have this straight -- Gamaliel feels that Lavabit should be enshrined in Wikipedia because it became notable because one notable person once used it famously? But, a biography about Gregory Kohs should not be kept, because Kohs became notable because he interacted with one notable website and used it famously? If we have an article about Lavabit, where is Wikipedia's independent article about White Ford Bronco, Monica Lewinsky's blue dress, or Schleicher Intimus 007 S? Now, this question will get shouted down with various "don't attack the nominator" complaints, but really... why does Gamaliel display two different standards for notability in Wikipedia? If it weren't for Snowden, would we have an article about Lavabit? What makes Lavabit notable -- provably notable -- if it weren't for Snowden? - Q for G (talk) 13:11, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • My reasons are stated above. My motivation was based on the fact that in the past, critics of Wikipedia like Mr. Kohs have objected to having Wikipedia articles at all, due to concerns about privacy, accuracy, etc., so I was interested in eliminating a potential WP:BLP issue. You are welcome to disagree, of course. I don't much care one way or the other. This is a pretty minor matter. Gamaliel (talk) 13:24, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I think his business is clearly notable although as an individual it's a close call with respect to GNG. Merge what needs to be merged if this ends Delete. No opinion on notability here but my opinion of my erstwhile nemesis has evolved over the years. I think he's swell. Carrite (talk) 04:01, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: I agree that it makes sense to merge the two articles, but it is easiest to merge the article on the company into the one on the person. I have roughly merged all the content from the MyWikiBiz article into Gregory Kohs. The expanded article holds together as a discussion of the internet activity that has made Kohs notable. I can't see a merge in the other direction working. Most of the well-sourced material in the MyWikiBiz article is in fact about Kohs, and does not belong in a discussion of the company. Aymatth2 (talk) 13:10, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I see that User:Dan Murphy quickly reverted the addition of material. I have restored it. The material added is from MyWikiBiz, and is sourced. Whether these sources are good can be discussed separately. Aymatth2 (talk) 13:31, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
He has done it again! Surely efforts to improve an article during an AfD by adding relevant, well-sourced material is encouraged? Aymatth2 (talk) 14:01, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The version that Dan Murphy so strongly objects to is here. Looks good to me. Aymatth2 (talk) 14:55, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
A) User:Dan Murphy and User:Volunteer Marek are WO (Wikipediocracy) regulars, and so associates of the subject and admirers I gather. As such, it's reasonable to consider then as spokesmen for the subject. Obviously the subject himself is not going to come here and request deletion -- he can't, actually -- so heeding the thoughts of his associates is the closest thing we're going to get to knowing the subject's wishes, I think. I'd like to hear from other WO regulars such as User:Tarc to confirm (or refute) this, but as it stands its reasonable to assume that User:Dan Murphy and User:Volunteer Marek speak for the subject. And even if not, since the subject hates the Wikipedia, it's reasonable to assume that he wouldn't want an article here. And we should err on the side of caution in BLP matters.
B) If its accepted that WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE is in play, then we should certainly honor it, because the subject is only marginally notable and is clearly not "well-known" or a "public figure", which are the criteria for honoring a BLPREQUESTDELETE. He might seem well-known to us in the world of Wikipedia but he's not well-known in the world at large.
If WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE is not in play, then he's probably notable enough, but I would still suggest possibly considering a WP:IAR delete on the grounds that hosting the article is just too much of a long-term headache (constant watching, having to engage with people who hate the Wikipedia (which is tiresome), AfD's, vandalism, edit warring (there's one going on right now at the article), neither "side" ever being happy with the article, the danger of libel being committed during these heated discussions and the possibility of litigation being initiated for this or some other reason, and so on) for the very small encyclopedic value of retaining what really is a quite marginal article. It's a net loss for the Wikipedia, which is why WP:IAR comes into play. IIRC we've deleted articles on this basis once or twice in the past. Herostratus (talk) 15:12, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
That is sensible advice. I have changed my vote to "Delete". There is a good chance the subject objects to the article, and anyway keeping it is not worth the hassle. Should MyWikiBiz also be deleted on the same grounds? It is largely a discussion of Kohs and his battles with Wikipedia. Aymatth2 (talk) 15:36, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
DGG is right (see below). I don't like getting dragged into an edit war, but still... The article should be kept and expanded by merging in MyWikiBiz, as shown in this version Aymatth2 (talk) 18:29, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Quoting "Herostratus:" "User:Dan Murphy and User:Volunteer Marek are WO (Wikipediocracy) regulars, and so associates of the subject and admirers I gather. As such, it's reasonable to consider then as spokesmen for the subject." Can't speak for Marek. However, your assumptions about who I "admire" or are my "associates" are completely false. Your statement "It's reasonable to consider them as spokesmen for the subject" is completely idiotic and unreasonable. As unreasonable and illogical as suggesting that I am an associate of and spokesman for Jimmy Wales (or you) simply because we all contribute in one way or another to this website.Dan Murphy (talk) 16:32, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
OK. There's no need to be insulting. I'm trying my best to help work this out, OK? I'll grant all that you say (without necessarily agreeing with it), but I still contend that, given the totality of what's been posted and my take on the overall vibe, it's reasonable to act as if WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE is in play, especially if we want to interpret it liberally, which I think it'd be in the spirit of WP:BLP to do.
I call on the person closing this discussion to address this and describe whether she considered WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE to be in play and if not why not, and if she doesn't do this I wouldn't consider it necessarily a fully-considered and valid close.
Incidentally, to my other point: the page is on my watchlist, and engaging editors on that article means being called "completely idiotic and unreasonable" and a lot worse. This is tiresome and wearies the soul, and wastes time that could be spent on more pleasant pursuits such as attending a shabby bear-baiting demonstration in the parking lot behind an abandoned shopping mall outside Franklin, New Hampshire -- or really, most anything else. But somebody has to do it. If my fellow editors would spare me and my similarly-situated colleagues this task, it would be a kindness. Herostratus (talk) 03:05, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
If Gregory Kohs has a problem with either article he just has to click the Contact Wikipedia link at the foot of any page, including this one, and explain his concern. I don't see how WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE comes into play until he does that. Both articles seem neutral and both have been around for a while. Neither are high-maintenance. There was the usual flurry of changes when this one was started in June 2013, then nothing until this AfD was started. Aymatth2 (talk) 11:42, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You make it sound so simple, like this is a routine, man-off-the-street individual, but it really isn't given the history of acrimony with Jimbo and other Wikipedia dwellers. The subject believes that if he expresses a desire for its deletion, it'd attract a small horde of editors who'd want to keep it out of spite; to call for retention would make the horde vote to delete. You're under the impression that this is a simple and straightforward online encyclopedic matter, but it really isn't. At the end of the day we have an article about a guy with a small online business who has given a smattering of interviews about it. The sum of human knowledge won't be dented if the Wikipedia does not provide information about Kohs. Tarc (talk) 13:11, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I started the article, think the subject is interesting, and would like to expand it to something like this version, which gives more well-sourced information. For all I know, Gregory Kohs would like that too: a lot of people would love to have a bio in Wikipedia. I can't see anything offensive about the article, and it has not attracted a horde of spiteful editors. This discussion does not seem to be moving towards consensus, so by default the article will be kept. But If Gregory Kohs expresses concern by email, that can get passed to an admin who can close this as "requested deletion, no consensus, delete". Simple. Aymatth2 (talk) 14:08, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well if this is your threshold for notability, there's not much more one can say. If you want a true challenge though, look through the archives of the Daniel Brandt deletion discussions.

Having observed this article for several years, it seems to serve no real purpose other than to vaguely describe the biological approach of modern medicine towards the treatment of addiction, which is already covered in that article.

Since media coverage is frequently used to assess the significance of events it is indeed relevant how much coverage there has been.

Tlwo sources one questionable does not show enough coverage to meet WP:GNG. It simply isn't extensive coverage nor does it appear extensive coverage in reliable sources is available to prove long term notability. She isn't notable even having written two books as they aren't notable. Being a minister of a presumed non notable church (we don't have article) doesn't make you automatically notable.

The Denver Post is a notable, reliable source;
On Being is a notable, reliable source;
they both had extensive pieces on the pastor herself, not her church, so they clearly establish her notablilty. the burden of proof is not upon the article creator, rather the community has established consensus standards that it can uphold. it's unclear to me what your understanding of GNG is. merely stating non-notablilty does not make it so. go to the Category:Ordained Christian women, several of them do not meet your criteria: Linda L.

Keep and Expand - This article is clearly part of a wider ongoing conflict and an investigation in to the attack is being undertaken. The attack made attention world wide so is clearly noteworthy in that sense. It It also forms part of the history of an ongoing major conflict/insurgency so that is noteworthy. The investigation will also be noteworthy when it is released. This is more than a news story this is an historical event which is part of a wider conflict and series of Terrorist attacks. Sources for the article being noteworthy are here and here Sport and politics (talk) 14:59, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just because it is mentioned in RS doesnt mean its automatically notable. The sources you cite are not global outlets and teh UN condemns incidetns all the times, that doesnt make them all notablke. For example, at the UNGA Debate right now no one have mentioned this while mentioning kenya, pakistan, etc.

Keep - This is a major terrorist attack with dozens of casualties, of course it deserves it's own article. I think if this event had happened in a Western country there would be no question of it deserving its own article, just because it happened in Africa and is part of a larger conflict doesn't make it less relevant. --Hibernian (talk) 15:27, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Location is irrelevant. If it was notable it would have more coverage. No one has made an atttempt to add anything and its days old nowLihaas (talk) 15:45, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dubious existence: full name not to be found in RS, only a mention (without first name) in self-contradictory older historian, K Hopf. He mentions the existence of 2 unnamed daughters in one of his books (without providing his source) but writes that their "father" died childless in another book and attributes another spouse (from the same family) to the alledged husband of "Fiorenza" in a third book.

Appears to be a very specific concept separate from the use of "smart agents" as a synonym for "intelligent agents". However no origin of the concept outlined here can be found. A google search only turns up dead links and derivatives of wikipedia. On closer inspection, the article text only seems to re-iterate the definition of a software agent and is perhaps an advertisement for a now abandoned software or research project.

Unnecessary disambiguation page, per Template:db-disambig and WP:TWODABS. Boleyn (talk) 20:46, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • I do not think that there is a "primary" among the two pages that were being disambiguated (the first criterion) prior to User:boleyn's change to a { {for} } hatnote at David Yost pointing directly to Dave Yost, and there are other notable David Yosts (e.g. former Assistant Head Coach at the University of Missouri[16][17]), just not ones with WP pages (but that could happen at a moment's notice). One of the subjects (the one unfound if you search by his legal name) is likely to become even more notable in an upcoming contested state election. Hence a DAB page seemed the appropriate solution. Dwpaul (talk) 17:07, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I suppose the better solution would be for the existing article David Yost to move to David Harold Yost, since that is the actual name used in the lede of the article, and for the DAB page to be created at David Yost -- but this seemed a bit more than necessary until there is actually a third (at least) David Yost to be disambiguated. My main purpose was just to support the { {other people} } tag on the extant two articles but to not require their updating when or if there is a third. Dwpaul (talk) 17:24, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • If neither of the two meanings is primary, then a normal disambiguation page is used at the base name. per WP:MOSDAB Dwpaul (talk) 18:02, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • See also Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Disambiguation page or hatnotes?: [I]f an ambiguous term has no primary topic, then that term needs to lead to a disambiguation page. In other words, where no topic is primary, the disambiguation page is placed at the base name. In this case we are referring to two different people of equal (or equally limited) notability (unlike, e.g., Einstein), and neither is the primary topic to link to with hatnotes versus using disambiguation. Dwpaul (talk) 19:09, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
They are both Davids, though one is better known as Dave, and as documented above there are others that are recently notable. Dwpaul (talk) 01:00, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
And now one has, subject to WP:AFC: Dr. David S. Yost -- Dwpaul (talk) 23:00, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
More prominently calling attention to the fact that there are now three Wikipedia articles concerning people named David Yost to be disambiguated, which calls much of the logic used to support the deletion of this dab (e.g., citing WP:2DAB) into question. The third page is David S. Yost, submitted for creation today. Dwpaul (talk) 23:14, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well, that's simply not true. There are still only two Wikipedia articles on people named David Yost (and one AfC submission). --BDD (talk) 18:55, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake. I have very little experience with AfC, but I would think you could replace the notice at the top and move the notice at the bottom there. --BDD (talk) 19:18, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I think the notice is supposed to be removed by a (apparently backlogged) bot. I see from the template that one could (if very brave) change the parameters manually, but I hesitate to do since I don't want to somehow remove the AfC from the workflow. Thanks. Dwpaul (talk)

Most, if not all, of the sources you mention (that I can check) have to do with her as Powell's wife, not as her own person.
The early ones are arguably I'd agree but once you get to 1997 (Rena Pederson. "Alma Powell on her own" Dallas Morning News) she emerges as an independent entity. In any case her husband clearly didn't author children's books, or testify before Congress on children's issues, or receive the awards she has, etc.. as Tokyogirl79 said, she is always going to be spoken of in the context of her husband but that doesn't mean anything if she is actually doing things that receive recognition. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 18:47, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
A lot of people have library branches named after them. Should I make an article on every one of them? PrairieKid (talk) 17:23, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
