[edit] Me
British, early 30's, married, PhD student, living in Cyprus, completing a PhD on Native American literature. Status this month: stressed.
[edit] WikiFame!
Scrolling through Wikipedia at random, I come across an article, Kim Eternity, about a porn actress who seems not terribly notable. Remembering that there is now a guideline on porn stars' notability, I decide that she seems not to meet the criteria. I nominate the article for deletion. A discussion ensues, it emerges that she meets a dubious criterion, and the article is kept. So far, so WikiNormal. Since then, though, I've discovered that I am also quoted in a Washington Post article about the notability guidelines. See for yourself. Thank gawd they didn't use my name.
