| Submission declined on 11 September 2024 by S0091 (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

Comment: In Her World, Getting Cheated On Makes You a ‘Chump’ is mostly based on what she says, Everyone’s Breaking Up, but Nobody’s Bitter: What’s Going On? is a quote as is the Toronto Star and The New Yorker is a brief mention. There's mention of criticism in one of the NYT pieces but those sources are not included and there's only a brief mention in the draft's content. S0091 (talk) 20:20, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
Tracy Schorn is an American cartoonist, former journalist, book author, blogger known as "Chump Lady", and founder of the online community known as "Chump Nation", made up of survivors of infidelity.[1]
Career
editSchorn was the state news editor at the AARP Bulletin and has written for AARP[2], Smithsonian magazine, and Readers Digest. Her criticism of the term "conscious uncoupling" was noted by The New York Times.[3]
Schorn uses straight talk, snarky cartoons and humorous terms like "schmoopie" and "spackling" to affirm her motto "Leave a cheater, gain a life". Her own experience as a "chump" inspired her choice to focus on infidelity and the "reconciliation industrial complex" as her subject matter.[1]
Schorn advises cheated-on parents to remain respectful of their child's love for the cheating parent.[4]
Schorn's podcast with Sarah Gorrell is called "Tell Me How You're Mighty".[1]
Criticism
editAn article in The New Yorker described Schorn's philosophy as "a mission to reframe cheating as abuse".[5] The Cut suggested that Schorn promotes unquestioning validation of women's assertions.[1]
Selected publication
editLeave a Cheater, Gain a Life: The Chump Lady's Survival Guide, Running Press, 2016.
