- @Theroadislong: Can you please clarify if there's something I need to do to correct the submission, or did your edit to the draft page address the problem? Thanks in advance. Inkian Jason (talk) 21:26, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

Notability
edit@Ipigott and Johnbod: Thank you for your feedback here. I agree, there are many sources covering Wisniewska's firing from USFSP. My timing for publishing this draft did not help, as coverage of the lawsuit from just days ago kind of hides earlier and non-firing coverage at Google and Google News, etc. However, I'd like to point out some profiles written before the incident that provide information about her early life and career, listed below:
- New dean has big plans for campus, The Intelligencer, September 1999
- This source discusses Wisniewska's early life, career, and personal life leading up to her position as the dean of Temple University Ambler.
- College dean recognized for achievement; looks forward to future of school, Ambler Gazette, August 2000
- This source covers Wisniewska's accomplishments during her first year at Temple University Ambler and related achievements.
- Sophia Wisniewska named chancellor at USF St. Petersburg, Tampa Bay Times, March 2013
- This in-depth source covers Wisniewska accepting her position at USFSP and her career up until then, including positions at five Penn State campuses and Temple Ambler; also discusses her early life in Poland.
I should note, the Ambler Gazette article is not currently included in the draft. Additionally, there's this from 2013 and this from 2014; both are smaller mentions but not currently used as citations. I also found this interview from 2013, which I assume should not be used as a citation and does not contribute to her notability, but might be helpful as an external link. Finally, a search for "Sophia Wisniewska" at Nexis.com yields 296 returns. I sorted oldest to newest and see there are 25 mentions published before March 2013 alone. I acknowledge many of these may be passing mentions, but this seems like a lot of potential sources needing to be considered in a discussion about notability. I hope with the help of this summary that you’ll be willing to review the sources and give notability another consideration?
In response to the feedback about how the firing is explained in the draft, I chose this wording based on how it was described by The Washington Post with no intention of being promotional. I was unsure about how much detail to include, and I did not want to violate the Biographies of living persons policy in any way. The Washington Post article describes the event as a "negotiated resignation" and says, "The resignation agreement indicates that neither side acknowledges or alleges wrongdoing." Based on feedback, I'm willing to edit the description of the incident in the proposed article, or simply let other editors make the changes they see fit. I took a first stab but I understand editors may elect to reword this content.
Thanks again for your time and consideration. Inkian Jason (talk) 18:03, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
- I've added these articles to the draft. Inkian Jason (talk) 20:28, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
Orphan tag
edit
Resolved@Dewritech: I saw you added an "orphan" tag to this article. I don't edit the main space directly because of my conflict of interest, but Sophia Wisniewska could be added to the following articles (appearing in the "See also" section):
- List of Bryn Mawr College people
- List of Pennsylvania State University people
- List of Temple University people
Are you willing to add her name to these pages so the tag can be removed? Thanks for your consideration. Inkian Jason (talk) 14:24, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
- Bringing this concern to User:Ipigott's attention as well. Thanks! Inkian Jason (talk) 16:49, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
- The "orphan" tag has been removed, thanks! Inkian Jason (talk) 16:05, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
