Who is noteworthy? Levin is he head of a non-profit advocacy group with tens of thousands of members. They make a lot of noise, and she gets quoted constantley. I think she is someone it would be interesting to know more about. American Clio (talk) 23:43, 20 February 2008 (UTC)American Clio

Notability - I am puzzled to understand why this has to be an adversarial process. Why do psople post things like "three mentions in the media does not make a person widely quoted" I'm not Levin's advocate. I would like to know more about hher so I put up a brief article.

Certainly this article passes the nsiff test, i.e., she is the head of a large media watchdog organization.

Perhaps the Wikipedia policy should be to let such articles stand for a while and see whether material is added to justify notability. American Clio (talk) 13:07, 21 February 2008 (UTC)American Clio

How many would? 30? 300?

The point is to put up a representative sampling form serious places. In this case, books on media bias. American Clio (talk) 22:43, 21 February 2008 (UTC)American Clio

I'd recommend that you find a reliable source (see WP:RS) that says something to the effect that "Ms Levin is widely quoted.." and source it to that. Otherwise you are doing a bit of original research (see WP:OR), but more importantly, you won't have to worry about counting quotations. Boodlesthecat (talk) 23:08, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
