Untitled

to be honest i cant really be arsed to do anything about it. I was in the process of aquiring the expressd permission from NAS to republish the specific article. But as the page does not neet the militia style tactics of control set out by the high and mighty wikipedia guys, well, i give in. She was a great person, most people know that, some do not, that is a shame...........

Go forth and dissolve....

The does not establish notability, that is, it doesn't even say why the person is actually noteworthy for an encyclopedia. Wikipedia is not a discriminate collection of information, it is an encyclopedia and has policies for inclusion. An encyclopedia full of two-sentence articles would be useless. Do not say you weren't warned, the new article creation page clearly states "Articles that do not cite reliable published sources will be deleted" in big bold letters.

If the person was indeed notable then the article ought to convey that; alternatively, you could have explained that on this talk page. The apologist comment you added, however, helps nobody. -- intgr 13:09, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

I had never heard about this perosn before, but after a quock serach there is no doubt about notability from my point of view, and the current article version hopefully starts to reflect that. Tikiwont 13:29, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

I work at Sybil Elgar School in Acton and she founded it (the first school apparently in the world for autism). http://www.autism.org.uk/sybilelgar — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.29.24.46 (talk) 17:24, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
