Sweet Spot (metaphysics)

Hi. Yes, please, by all means create a Sweet Spot (metaphysics) article if you think there should be one. Click on the link and start writing!

Just be aware that you will need to demonstrate that it is already an established, recognised term within the field of metaphysics. This means good cites from reliable sources. One cite, from one paper, by one post-graduate student, from a forum (forums are generally self-published, i.e. just about anyone can write anything), is unlikely to suffice. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 16:16, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

• I ended up deleting the page for a number of reasons. The first is that the page was a re-creation of an AfD from 2007. However there was also concern over notability and the page was also a copyright violation from her official website. If you're interested in re-creating your article you'll need to go through deletion review since Coredesat is no longer an active editor on Wikipedia and he was the person who closed the AfD. It was a pretty divided AfD, so I'd not recommend re-creating this before going through deletion review. That said, notability guidelines have grown increasingly more strict since then and in order to recreate the page you'll have to show how she's received coverage in independent and reliable sources. Whether or not her theories are correct isn't really the point here, although I do know that the topic of "correct or not" does sometimes come up with anything that's considered "WP:FRINGE". What you need here are independent and reliable sources like newspaper articles, mentions in academic sources, and the like. I know that it's more difficult for Truthers to gain coverage, but it's still required. Now assuming that this passes DRV, you will still need to create an article that does not use content taken from somewhere else. Copyright is automatically assumed on all material posted elsewhere and Wood's site does have a copyright mark at the bottom of her page, so you can't cut/paste the information. If you know her or know how to contact her then you can try to get her to file a ticket through WP:ORTS that gives permission, but be careful - a lot of official bios are written with the intent to promote the individual. This isn't a bad thing when it's on someone's website and would be recommended there, but on Wikipedia things have to be written with a WP:NPOV. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 09:44, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
