I've noticed the feedback on the article about Deb - I tried to follow similar Guinness World Record holders pages for how I wrote the article.

As Guinness World Record holders seem to garner quite a bit of notoriety, I felt that Deb made a great subject for Wikipedia. With the number of interviews she did while in England this past year, I felt this was the time to submit Deb to Wikipedia.

Are there other guidelines I should have been aware of before posting? Other Guinness World Record holders in some cases had much less in their pages.

I think the problem here is that there is too much subjective writing. To pick one example: "It is probably the comfort level that came from performing in front of people while DJing..." "Probably" is a very obvious weasel word here and the whole thing is fluffy preamble to what might be a valid point about something she did. I'd be happier with this is it was a significantly shorter article.
Anyway, don't panic. This isn't up for deletion. If you pare it down to just the verifiable facts then it may well be OK. --DanielRigal (talk) 00:51, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have shortened the article and removed fluff from the article. I've also included an infobox on the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ChrisPeters-FF (talkcontribs) 16:35, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've also added categories - can I remove either the issues box or the need more categories box in the articles? --ChrisPeters-FF (talk) 16:39, 20 September 2015 (UTC)talk[reply]
