Notability

edit

Reddogsix tagged this page with "may not meet Wikipedia's notability guideline for biographies."

According to WP:BIO, a person is presumed notable if the person has "received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject."

The subject has received coverage in published secondary sources, including The Washington Post, Washington City Paper, The Washington Times, and Washington Blade, all Washington, D.C., local newspapers. The Wikipedia article included 58 citations for published secondary sources. Most of these qualify as significant coverage.

For the reason cited above, I propose to remove the Notability tag from the Wikipedia page.

If you disagree, kindly explain here. ~ Quacks Like a Duck (talk) 22:40, 9 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

No response yet from editor. Because the subject has received coverage in published secondary sources, including The Washington Post, Washington City Paper, The Washington Times, and Washington Blade, and the article included 58 citations from published secondary sources, I will be bold and delete the notability tag. If you disagree, kindly explain here. ~ Quacks Like a Duck (talk) 21:08, 16 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
