The President of one of the largest - if not the largest - artists' organization in the USA is definately notable enough for inclusion in WP - especially since she has been representing us in the battles against the City of Alexandria's takeover of the Torpedo Factory! 64.26.99.248 (talk) 21:48, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Being president of something does not contribute to notability, unless people write about you. If you have links to articles in newspapers, post them here. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 22:36, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

My apologies as I'm not sure if I'm doing this right, but it seems to us that "Being the president of something does not contribute to notability, unless people write about you", with all due respect, seems to be a short-sighted and far-away viewpoint (Montreal?) which is not aware of the trails and tribulations that the Torpedo Factory artists have experienced over the last few years in their struggles versus the City of Alexandria - and instead of the articles "being about you" (in this case Ms. Davis and/or her successor), the articles and the debate have been about the issues - the multiple issues carried forward by Davis and others, but led by the Presidents of one of the largest artist's organization in the country. Perhaps the article on Davis should focus more attention on that aspect of her artistic presence? I do not mean to start an online argument or debate - but we do mean to try to enter that there are a lot of us here in Alexandria who think that she is indeed notable-enough for a Wiki article. 64.26.99.248 (talk) 20:55, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

We judge notability based on established sources, per WP:notability. All the things you say are helpful and relevant to a particular community's situation, but they are essentially subjective. In order to make Wikipedia as neutral as possible, we go on the fact that people have been independently been written about by good publications with independent editorial teams. SO it really is all about the sources, and very little about the situation.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 03:49, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
