Mitch Cullin

Hi, I'm a bit perplexed as to why the author Mitch Cullin's notability was called into question in the first place, and, by default, his collaborator Peter I. Chang? I know Cullin isn't a household name, but as a writer he's hardly an unknown entity either (at least for us literary folks). The fact that Terry Gilliam turned one of his books into a film alone should be notability enough. In any case I've done some work on the page to bring it up to snuff, so hopefully it passes muster. I do think, however, that the notability tag is sometimes thrown around a bit too casually, especially in this caseBenderEnder (talk) 14:42, 28 January 2008 (UTC).

Hi, BenderEnder! I'm sorry you feel like that. I tagged the article because the version I came across said, in a nutshell:

• Here's someone who wrote seven books. He was friends with some notable people.

The current version is better - it seems to satisfy Wikipedia's Notability policy - "multiple substantial sources about the individual from reliable sources."

I appreciate the effort you put into the article! -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 15:46, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm a bit worried about Chang's article, though. He doesn't seem to meet the Notability criteria? -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 16:07, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome cookies, SatyrTN. Let me see what I can do for Chang's page. I fear this might be a case where someone is notable but not all that googleable (is that a word?). Perhaps editing down the page would make more sense. Anyway, I'll do some homework and see what I can do to make it satisfy the notablity requirement. Thanks again.

Don't worry - Google isn't the be-all end-all :) If you can find reliable sources, it doesn't matter where you get them from. They do have to be available in some form - see WP:RS, I think. Good luck, and if you have any questions, please feel free to write me! -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 01:48, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
