Talk:Wikivietlit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I've been in discussion with Chris Griswold about a previous deletion of this entry, at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:ChrisGriswold#Wikivietlit
We arrived at an understanding that the entry needs verifiable evidence of notability. It seems to me that this entry provides that.
What we want to have is an encyclopedia reference at Wikipedia to another encyclopedia, Wikivietlit, because reference from a general encyclopedia to a specialist one is a frequent research practice.
This Wikipedia entry on Wikivietlit provides verifiable evidence of notability in both the body of the text and in the list of citaitons. Within the body of the text, there are links to articles on the editor of Wikivietlit and to entries on other Vietnamese authors. Some of them are authors covered ably in Wikipedia but covered more extensively in the specialist Wikivietlit.
In the citations, there are links to the editor's blog, perhaps not compelling evidence of notability, but also to an article about Wikivietlit at Tienve, the central literary webzine of the Vietnamese diaspora.
I am going to fiddle with some details in the Wikivietlit entry now, for instance deleting a reference to publisher, me, which is little interest to a reference user. I will also summarize the Tienve review in English for evidence of notability.
