http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/Leslie_Harpold
Though I believe their judgment was uninformed and overhasty (as time has proved) as well as unkind ("blogger vanity"), those who removed the original article about Leslie did have some points which we should keep in mind in preparing this article. 1. This is Wikipedia, not a memorial. Maintain a NPOV. 2. The entry should reflect significant facts about Leslie's life and creations, not all facts. As she inspired so many to do, we should rise above the merely mildly interesting to focus on the important stuff. 3. The entry must credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject. MetaGrrrl ( talk) 04:56, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
Leslie's notability clearly falls under "The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors." MetaGrrrl ( talk) 22:09, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
At the bottom of this Talk page, in the section called "STUFF THAT WE SEEM TO NOW BE DONE WITH BUT WHICH WE HEREWITH PRESERVE FOR POSTERITY IS BELOW THIS LINE", I have created a new section called "Things that don't belong in the article but which we note here for anyone looking for more detail on Leslie's life and work". If you find something that is not significant enough for the Wikipedia article, please move it there so that anyone who wants to work on a memorial elsewhere can find it. Thank you! MetaGrrrl ( talk) 19:56, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
Thanks so much to everyone who helped and cheered me on. The page is now live! MetaGrrrl ( talk) 23:45, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
I have some experience writing new articles that "stick" and fixing articles to fit guidelines that were proposed for deletion, and I can help check for NPOV and sourcing problems whenever you would appreciate another set of eyes. I'll watchlist this; also feel free to put a note on my talk page when you'd like a check (it looks like you are actively working on drafting it at the moment). Dreamyshade ( talk) 05:34, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
Thank you so much, Dreamyshade! Much appreciated! We will draft for several more days at least I suspect before it's ready for your kind attentions. MetaGrrrl ( talk) 22:01, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
We also have an offer from Jessamyn for a polishing pass once the article is 75% of the way there. MetaGrrrl ( talk) 20:01, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
Since it took me a while to learn this fun thing, I'll share: after the article goes "live", anyone (including editors of the article) can nominate it for Wikipedia:Did you know - it's a process for featuring good new articles on the Wikipedia homepage for a few hours, and it's not a huge amount of work to nominate an article. It's a nice way to show an article to a broader audience after putting a lot of work into it. Dreamyshade ( talk) 01:56, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
Regarding "removing wikipedia internal link around Michael Sippey's name. (How does he not have an article? Weird.)" - it's totally fine to choose to leave a red link to his name if he seems like he should have an article and doesn't have one yet. Red links can inspire other people to write new articles.

"Leslie was an early pioneer in the creation of autobiographical content and experimental web design. She left behind thousands of web pages, many of which are as memorable as Possible Scenarios for Heaven from 2003. Leslie's family appears to have decided to let her entire body of work disappear and be forgotten completely. The only things that are left online are articles she wrote for other sites, such as The Morning News. This raises an important question for those of us who create work on the web that we publish ourselves. When heirs decide to bury a web creator's body of work by shuttering sites and rejecting all republication requests, can anything be done to save the material?" http://workbench.cadenhead.org/news/3579/why-leslie-harpolds-sites-disappeared (Note great Zeldman comment re: incompleteness of the Wayback Machine also)

The influence paragraph was too long. Here's how it was before pruning down to just those with Wikipedia articles. Note that I was surprised to find some of these folks did not have articles, e.g. Michael Sippey ( https://www.linkedin.com/in/sippey) former VP of lots of important companies including Twitter; Paul Ford (ftrain), whose work is increasingly visible and influential; Kyle Whelliston who ran The Mid-Majority and was an ESPN columnist fired for commenting on coverage http://awfulannouncing.blogspot.com/2009/01/espn-freelancer-fired-after-questioning.html; and Chris Wetherell who is named in multiple other Wikipedia articles. MetaGrrrl ( talk) 21:13, 17 December 2014 (UTC) Author and editor Choire Sicha and blogger Heather Armstrong both have cited her as an influence [1], as have designer Jeffrey Zeldman, writer Paul Ford, writer Josh Allen, [2] comedy writer Todd Levin, author Maggie Mason [3], designer Mike Monteiro [4], writer and podcaster Merlin Mann, designer Lance Arthur, [5] author Shauna Wright, [6] systems analyst Kyle Whelliston, [7] and engineer Chris Wetherell [8]. Like Harpold's work, frequently the accolades of her influence bridge multiple aspects of life, such as Wetherell's statement: "Her writing beat personal ploughshares into community ploughshares that cut through my personal and professional development like a sword".

MetaGrrrl ( talk) 19:56, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
Thanks so much to everyone who helped and cheered me on. The page is now live! MetaGrrrl ( talk) 23:45, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
I have some experience writing new articles that "stick" and fixing articles to fit guidelines that were proposed for deletion, and I can help check for NPOV and sourcing problems whenever you would appreciate another set of eyes. I'll watchlist this; also feel free to put a note on my talk page when you'd like a check (it looks like you are actively working on drafting it at the moment). Dreamyshade ( talk) 05:34, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
Thank you so much, Dreamyshade! Much appreciated! We will draft for several more days at least I suspect before it's ready for your kind attentions. MetaGrrrl ( talk) 22:01, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
We also have an offer from Jessamyn for a polishing pass once the article is 75% of the way there. MetaGrrrl ( talk) 20:01, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
Since it took me a while to learn this fun thing, I'll share: after the article goes "live", anyone (including editors of the article) can nominate it for Wikipedia:Did you know - it's a process for featuring good new articles on the Wikipedia homepage for a few hours, and it's not a huge amount of work to nominate an article. It's a nice way to show an article to a broader audience after putting a lot of work into it. Dreamyshade ( talk) 01:56, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
Regarding "removing wikipedia internal link around Michael Sippey's name. (How does he not have an article? Weird.)" - it's totally fine to choose to leave a red link to his name if he seems like he should have an article and doesn't have one yet. Red links can inspire other people to write new articles.

Graham "Both were hyperconnected pioneer bloggers who passed away unexpectedly."
http://workbench.cadenhead.org/news/3579/why-leslie-harpolds-sites-disappeared
"Leslie was an early pioneer in the creation of autobiographical content and experimental web design. She left behind thousands of web pages, many of which are as memorable as Possible Scenarios for Heaven from 2003. Leslie's family appears to have decided to let her entire body of work disappear and be forgotten completely. The only things that are left online are articles she wrote for other sites, such as The Morning News. This raises an important question for those of us who create work on the web that we publish ourselves. When heirs decide to bury a web creator's body of work by shuttering sites and rejecting all republication requests, can anything be done to save the material?" http://workbench.cadenhead.org/news/3579/why-leslie-harpolds-sites-disappeared (Note great Zeldman comment re: incompleteness of the Wayback Machine also)

The influence paragraph was too long. Here's how it was before pruning down to just those with Wikipedia articles. Note that I was surprised to find some of these folks did not have articles, e.g. Michael Sippey ( https://www.linkedin.com/in/sippey) former VP of lots of important companies including Twitter; Paul Ford (ftrain), whose work is increasingly visible and influential; Kyle Whelliston who ran The Mid-Majority and was an ESPN columnist fired for commenting on coverage http://awfulannouncing.blogspot.com/2009/01/espn-freelancer-fired-after-questioning.html; and Chris Wetherell who is named in multiple other Wikipedia articles. MetaGrrrl ( talk) 21:13, 17 December 2014 (UTC) Author and editor Choire Sicha and blogger Heather Armstrong both have cited her as an influence [1], as have designer Jeffrey Zeldman, writer Paul Ford, writer Josh Allen, [2] comedy writer Todd Levin, author Maggie Mason [3], designer Mike Monteiro [4], writer and podcaster Merlin Mann, designer Lance Arthur, [5] author Shauna Wright, [6] systems analyst Kyle Whelliston, [7] and engineer Chris Wetherell [8]. Like Harpold's work, frequently the accolades of her influence bridge multiple aspects of life, such as Wetherell's statement: "Her writing beat personal ploughshares into community ploughshares that cut through my personal and professional development like a sword". [8]
This is looking great. Suggest finding a good photo of her if possible. Who might have one? Jessamyn ( talk) 18:04, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
