Draft:Anne Marilyn Lucas

  • Comment: I'm not sure why one would submit an entry without any secondary sources whatsoever. In addition, the article doesn't hold to the organization and formatting that is conventional for such articles; one look at a decent article on a playwright could have helped with that. Here's one, Sarah DeLappe, and here, Category:21st-century American dramatists and playwrights, are 535 more. Drmies (talk) 15:18, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
