Some notes on your draft article
editHi SalmaTaha. I see you're working on a draft article at User:SalmaTaha/sandbox. I hope you don't mind a few suggestions:
You're writing a biography of a living person. That's a special class of article within Wikipedia, that demands a great deal of editors. If you haven't already, you should review Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons to get a good idea of the requirements for such articles.
I noticed your efforts because you have used famousbirthdays.com as a source. It's not considered a reliable source, as discussions like Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_153#Is_famousbirthdays.com_a_reliable_source_for_personal_information explain. Similarly, the Google search results and the goodreads.com references are also not reliable. They should be removed before you submit the draft for review.
You'll need to find sources that meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines, ideally the guideline for biographies. What I'm finding about Campbell is often from or influenced by her public relations efforts, so it may be difficult to find sources that are written from an independent viewpoint. Wikipedia:Identifying and using independent sources might be of help determining what is and is not independent.
I hope you find this of help. Feel free to contact me with questions, etc. --Ronz (talk) 17:43, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
