It would be best if you discussed on the talk page rather than trying to carry on a discussion with Green108 in the edit summaries. That's just bad form.

	== Recommendation ==

			{\| style="margin: 1em 4em;"
	I think the best thing to do is to try to fight one battle at a time and try to do it in a non-confrontational way. I'd start a heading on the talk page about the Romain reference only. Then I'd list the article on the appropriate article RfC page. I am on your side with respect to this reference, and I suspect you already have one other regular editor to support you. Already the consensus is 3-1 against using Romain. All you need is for a couple of previously uninvolved editors to agree. Once consensus is clearly established, it is much easier to get admins to take action. That's why it is important to have a new section to gather all the opinions in one place rather than all over the talk page. Once neutral editors come in from the RfC on the specific issue rather than a general call, you will be in good shape. Prioritize the importance and do them one at a time.

	If you look, you will see that the criticism section is the ''only'' section of the article that has sources. The lack of secondary sources in the main part of the article suggests to me that the subject of this article lacks notability. I am trying to be fair; and, in fact, I believe all the necessary sourcing is there. If you think something that should be there is not, point it out to me and if it is a genuine problem I will either supply the necessary sourcing, or remove the problematic statement. ] 18:03, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

	I use the best sources I can find, but certainly do I wish there were better sources. To the best of my knowledge, no independent study, not even a good scholarly historical essay, has ever been written about her. Because of that, the article should do a better job of establishing Bailey's notability. I just took a look at amazon.com for her book ''White Magic'' (probably her most popular book) and its sales stand at "Sales Rank: #262,410". That is not very impressive, so the article needs to prove she is notable, but it does not. The best argument for her notability is actually in the criticism section of the article, which is a rather strange situation. ] 21:23, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
