I added the importance tag to this article. Wjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjral audience. Perhaps she worked on a high profile project? Perhaps she worked on a developing new technology? Perhaps she reached a higher rank than any black woman in her NASA division had previously? Whatever it is, we need to make sure the article notes it, because currently it looks like a vanity page. (i'm not saying it IS a vanity page, just saying it reads like one.) -- Quasipalm 13:48, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

I placed the potential vanity tag there because it addresses a more specific problem than simply "cleanup." However, I respect your opinion that it is not, in fact, potential vanity; I would be interested to see what other users have to say as to whether or not I applied the tag properly. As for the page itself, I'm not certain if Ms. Easley meets the standards for notability, but again, I refer the question to the larger WP community. Paul 04:30, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
As I mentioned, I have no problem with WP keeping the article, assuming that Ms. Easley is notable (which has been somewhat established.)
I don't quite understand AAAAA's reaction to me placing the potential vanity tag on the article. The article, at the time I placed the tag, didn't make a clear case for notability/importance, however it did not appear that there was no notability whatsoever, so being unsure, I tagged it with PotentialVanity. Keep in mind that this is PotentialVanity-I wasn't sure, and the presence of the word "potential" I think is a good indicator of that. However, this seemed to stick in AAAAA's craw, as he removed the tag and seemed a bit put off in his comment on my talk page. It is somewhat funny that AAAAA makes it out as if I was trying to "destroy" his work. Firstly, because that isn't what I was trying to do (and unless I wipe his hard drive, I pretty much couldn't do, anyway) and also because another user accused me of being a Destroyer concerning another article. It is also good to keep in mind that even a well-written article, possibly the work of many hours, might be speedy deleted if it is out of place on WP. Again, the Easley article doesn't seem to be, but the fact that someone took the time to compile the info and make an article of it really means nothing in this context. (Of course, those who do so deserve credit, and if AAAAA gathered this info and posted it then credit he does deserve. I'm just saying that it's no argument against deletion.)
Thanks everyone and wikilove to all. Paul 06:26, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
This source was given for Ms. Easley's birth info.
That source has this information wrong. Her married name was Easley - not her birth name. -- Lightbreather ( talk) 16:54, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
