Pat Fischer etc

Hi there & welcome. I have had a look at your two (deleted) articles. Country Art was a problem because it was a cut and paste from a website which makes it a copyright infringement. Pat Fischer however was deleted for failing to assert notability which is more a reflection of the state of the article at the time of deletion than an outright judgement of Pat. I have done a quick google on "Pat Fischer" folk and have seen enough references to her work to think that there is a possibility that notability could be established so I am going to move the text of the deleted article in to your userspace for you to work on it. I would suggest that you read the notability requirements for biographies very carefully and also make sure you are up to speed with referencing the article with reliable secondary sources. That you are related to Pat is a complication but is not necessarily a showstopper so long as you make extra sure that the article is neutral - you might want to check out the guideline on conflict of interest as well. You will find the text of the article here: User:123reb/Pat Fischer (artist). I should be more than happy to review the revised article for you before you move it back in to mainspace - you know where I am! Good luck, kind regards, nancy ^(talk) 07:51, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Further to this I have just removed a quantity of text from the restored article as it was cut and pasted from a couple of websites and was therefore a copyright violation. Please do take some time to read up on Wikipedia's copyright requirements and make sure that any future contributions are in your own words. Kind regards, nancy ^(talk) 13:09, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
