More on making a page about Kwangho Cheh[edit]
Hi: I saw the conversation on User talk:Drmies and I wanted to encourage you to write an article about this photographer. You say there are lots of newspaper articles and textbook passages about him; that sounds excellent! Those are just the kinds of sources an article would need. No, it doesn't matter if the references are not in English, although it's polite to readers (and less importantly, fellow editors) if you add a translation of newspaper article titles (don't replace it, add it in square brackets or use the "trans-title=" parameter in a citation template as well as the "title-" one) and use what English references you can find as well, even if they aren't very good. The kinds of sources to avoid are forums, websites where anyone can submit content (such as Wikipedia and other wikis!) and blogs that are not part of newspapers' sites. If you haven't seen it already, there's a page summarizing the requirements for a page on Wikipedia here, and it has links to policies like reliable sources and what kinds of topics should have articles; the specific guideline for a photographer would be this one, but basically if tehre are several newspaper articles and extended passages in books on their work, that makes them notable regardless of specifics such as whether they've won awards. (Put those specifics in the article though, with references.) I would not advise contacting the artist or a gallery for information, and you should have only one official website in the External links section (usually their personal website; sometimes it's their page at a gallery or a Facebook page, but those only if they don't have a regular website.) If the article is based on talking to the person or an agency, it breaks our rules against original research and also will seem promotional; articles should be based on third-party sources and be neutral in tone. I wouldn't worry too much if you can't find much information about their life, mostly about their career, but other editors differ on this. It's nice if you can find a source stating what year they were born, or at least approximately.
If this all sounds daunting—I wouldn't blame you—try creating it by clicking this link (or using the article wizard) and then submit it for consideration via the Articles for Creation process; experienced editors will then evaluate it and tell you what needs fixing first, and will move it into "mainspace" only when it's ready; this reduces the chance that someone will nominate it for deletion because of something you did wrong as a newcomer. If you decide to do that, when you're ready to have it evaluated, you put {{subst:submit}} at the top of the article.
I hope you do it :-) I can't—I can't read Korean! Yngvadottir (talk) 15:42, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
