Hi, thanks for message, and for helpfully linking the deleted article. That article had a number of problems, not least because it did not provide any independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that she meets the notability guidelines for photographers. It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, as defined in the link, or they will be deleted. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to her or an affiliated organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the she claims or interviewing her. References should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls

It was also written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. An example of an unsourced claims presented as fact is that explored the borderlands between public and private memory; concerns that continue to inform her practice which may be what she claims, but that doesn't make it a verifiable fact

I've spelt this out a bit because you have relatively few edits. Do a draft first, and let me know if you have any queries Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:20, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
