Draft:Sidita Kushi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: Thanks for starting this draft! Right now Kushi does not meet Wikipedia requirements for an academic to have an entry in the encyclopedia, which you can read about at WP:NACADEMIC. However if you can find and add reviews (from independent sources like journals or newspapers, not blurbs the publisher chose) for her co-authored book and especially when reviews begin to appear for her next book, she will likely meet WP:NAUTHOR. So feel free to resubmit once you’ve added those sources. Thanks again and happy editing, Innisfree987 (talk) 14:46, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
