Notability[edit]

I'm not sure that this person meets WP:BIO requirements. I found one citation self published for basic biography details and another on about.com. Most everything I find is about his books and are just marketing material, no reviews. I find very little second source materials. No books in google book search talking about his work. Most web sites refer to his work but don't comment on it, if they mention his name at all. Would the author of this page please help find some secondary source material discussing the importance of his work please? I can't find any easily. - Owlmonkey (talk) 00:06, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Changes Made

As you can see from the current, updated page on Dennis Lewis, numerous new references and comments from books, as well as other secondary sources, that discuss the importance of Lewis' work, have been added. Breathmike (talk) 19:24, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the improvements have gone a long way already. Now the article has a number of citations where third-party authors are either referring to his work or books or in some cases praising them or critiquing them. You've done a good job. That's exactly what I was hoping for to establish and meet WP:BIO notability requirements. Even more citations over time will help further, but it's much less a concern for me personally. - Owlmonkey (talk) 20:01, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article quality[edit]

Overall the quality of this article has improved. I agree with the comments on notability posted on this discussion page and on the article creator's discussion page. The notability was not a simple case to establish, but the references added seem to satisfy that. (The "reliable third party" line is often a challenge when it comes to specialists in more modern fields of study. I have removed the tags I placed, and replaced it with an expand tag. This is an interesting topic, and is now presented in a more encylopedic fashion. I believe the article could be improved by adding a section about Lewis' teachings as referred to in the introduction. Keep up the good work! AltioraPeto (talk) 16:32, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I changed the "Notes" section header to "References", since they are the specific citations from the article. I also pulled the other listed resources out into a new section "Other sources that reference Lewis' work". If you think of a better header name for that section, please feel free to change it.
