Hi, I tried to help out a little by applying some formatting as well as standard wikitemplates for references. I think this article could really use some 3rd party references about the subject, like from journal articles or news items, to help establish Notability by WP:PROF. - Furicorn ( talk) 20:03, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for helping so much. Yes my sandbox re-enlivened references are all to some of my own selected work as they need top be included (I followed my academic colleagues' short bios on Wiki for the way I wrote it as they insert their own references). Thank you for your help on these and taking links over from my Sandbox. The national press articles all have archived links, but there was an article about my research in the same paper about a year ago so I will see if it is still live or archived. Radio and TV have no live links to me due to licensing or copyright issues.I will rummage through my filing cabinet for originals of national press citations about me and my work and give you the names, dates, pages, headings if links are no good. Thanks again for amazing help when I had given up. A AnnQoLAge ( talk) 12:32, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

— User:AnnQoLAge 13:07, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
From your previous commentHi yes it is just a brief bio like those of my academic colleagues following the same style.
— User:AnnQoLAge 22:15, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
So what would be helpful for me is if you provide links in this discussion to the wikipedia pages or at least the names for the colleagues you are referencing. I don't know what their bios look like, so I have no context for what what those articles look like. It is possible their articles might be helpful in building your articleI followed my academic colleagues' short bios on Wiki for the way I wrote it as they insert their own references
— User:AnnQoLAge 12:32, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
In this case, you are the connected contributor, because you are connected with your own biography. It's fine that you are participating on this talk page, and going forward you can make requests for edits, but as I think you've understood you shouldn't contribute directly to the article itself anymore (except in your sandbox). The reason thethere is no connected contributor to me with a conflict of interest

The 2 citations to my work you found above were my own coauthored journal publications. Thanks for the stunning comment, and searching for me. I have about 200 publications in prestigious publications plus books etc and to see many just look me up in Google Scholar as I can't email you my CV, or you could look me up on the University of Southampton webpage/staff Ann Bowling/publications. I have lots of information about how OPQOL is used internationally, and the Australian Government has just asked permission to use it, it is on the international, prestigious MAPI database to which I gave a link in my bio. As it is to be a short bio I will work on a short summary about it. Thank you. I will aim to do this on Friday in my Sandbox and let you know and enliven yet again my degree unis, etc, and my prestigious award bodies using Wiki's cite/url etc/upload auto facility as the square brackets didn't enlive them twicer now. yes re the above above comment about adding in references to where I am cited in metaanalyses etc - I will add a link to Holt Lunstad's metaanalysis on mortality where my work was included. I have been referenced in Gov reports and World Health Org reports but I can't cite them if they have now been archived as searches become too tedious for readers them. I will try to remember the 6 semi colons to start and the sign off. Thanks for all your help to you, and everyone also A

Evidence live links as requested:
Publications in order of highest citations are viewable on Google scholar:
https://scholar.google.co.uk/citations?user=zjfb30QAAAAJ&hl=en
National/international press reports which have INDEPENDENTLY described and reported on Ann Bowling’s work and stated university affiliation at the time:
Main feature in New Scientist 1993 included her research on dancers’ injuries (the research can be accessed at https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.298.6675.731) and stated affiliation then at St Bartholomew’s Hospital:
National press reports on her research projects and publications on ageing and ageism in health care, include these which also cite then affiliation at University College London:
and its linked news report (front page):
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1542630/Shock-as-doctors-admit-to-ageism.html
and another:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-435991/Half-doctors-65s-low-priority.html
And on her research on cognitive decline, citing affiliation with University of Southampton:
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/voluntary-work-keeps-your-brain-sharper-xkhfkg667
Main contribution
Ann Bowling’s main research and policy contribution is on quality of life in older age. Her work led to her invited Annex on conceptual definitions on quality of life and well-being in the U.K. Chief Medical Officer annual report 2013: public mental health:
It has been widely cited in policy reports aiming to promote well-being, including the Scottish Executive’s policy document on well-being, which stated the importance of her research on older people’s views of quality of life, see Chapter 1.6, sections 6.37 to 6.40, Figure 6.4 and end references https://www.gov.scot/Publications/2006/01/13110743/6
Ann Bowling used this research to develop the Older People’s Quality of Life questionnaire (OPQOL):
https://www.hindawi.com/journals/cggr/2009/298950/; https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0167494312001835
Full length and short versions are available and can be used at no cost and without permission
The OPQOL is used internationally in independent studies, including in Czechoslovakia https://doi.org/10.1186/s12955-016-0494-7 ; Australia https://hqlo.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12955-015-0357-7 ; China https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24118843.
Finally:
These are the live Wiki links in blue to my places of qualifications and awards, inserted after their citation as my square brackets for web links, following Wiki guidance before, didn’t work. Please note my Selected work references 1,2,3 are in my original upload and sandbox copy, as are selected publications with their url links in Sandbox which I hope still work, otherwise I’ll re-find and re-enliven them. I was going to put the below in Sandbox but it might be too confusing. OK?
https://www.bma.org.uk/-/media/.../2015%20bma%20medical%20book%20awards%2... but The BMA did not upload its 1998 book awards back then or later, so I have emailed the contact at BMA Library to ask if they have an accessible archive with it. Also the RCP Faculty of Public health do not name their fellowships on their website anywhere for any year so I have emailed the membership secretary. I have the certificates which doesn't help for the url. I will reply again when they have responded. Oh dear it logged me out so rewrote this Best wishes A AnnQoLAge ( talk) 09:41, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
Hello all, just a quick note after seeing discussions here mentioned elsewhere. References (citations) on Wikipedia -- for proving notability or otherwise -- do not need to be accessible online ("live"). If a reliable source was published in, for example, 1998, with a significant statement or significant coverage about an individual, then it is entirely acceptable merely to cite that publication. (Anyone needing to verify it can do so by finding a published paper copy, as described at WP:SOURCEACCESS, "a print-only source may be available only in university libraries. Rare historical sources may even be available only in special museum collections and archives. Do not reject reliable sources just because they are difficult or costly to access"). Of course, it is very helpful to have a working URL to anm online copy of the publication, but it is not essential. MPS1992 ( talk) 18:59, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

I moved this to article space because as far as I could tell the AfC process is highly backlogged and a lot of work went into putting this article through a rigorous review even before any AfC review. Plus, wikipedia has the bar set way too high for female academic notability, as evidenced by stories of the rejection of Donna Strickland's article in May, before she was a Nobel laureate. Her work was certainly notable before the Nobel. Additionally, I suspect this article is more likely to be reviewed for having been moved to article space. - Furicorn ( talk) 08:20, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

Main contribution
Ann Bowling’s main research and policy contribution is on quality of life in older age. Her work led to her invited Annex on conceptual definitions on quality of life and well-being in the U.K. Chief Medical Officer annual report 2013: public mental health:
It has been widely cited in policy reports aiming to promote well-being, including the Scottish Executive’s policy document on well-being, which stated the importance of her research on older people’s views of quality of life, see Chapter 1.6, sections 6.37 to 6.40, Figure 6.4 and end references https://www.gov.scot/Publications/2006/01/13110743/6
Ann Bowling used this research to develop the Older People’s Quality of Life questionnaire (OPQOL):
https://www.hindawi.com/journals/cggr/2009/298950/; https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0167494312001835
Full length and short versions are available and can be used at no cost and without permission
The OPQOL is used internationally in independent studies, including in Czechoslovakia https://doi.org/10.1186/s12955-016-0494-7 ; Australia https://hqlo.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12955-015-0357-7 ; China https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24118843.
Finally:
These are the live Wiki links in blue to my places of qualifications and awards, inserted after their citation as my square brackets for web links, following Wiki guidance before, didn’t work. Please note my Selected work references 1,2,3 are in my original upload and sandbox copy, as are selected publications with their url links in Sandbox which I hope still work, otherwise I’ll re-find and re-enliven them. I was going to put the below in Sandbox but it might be too confusing. OK?
https://www.bma.org.uk/-/media/.../2015%20bma%20medical%20book%20awards%2... but The BMA did not upload its 1998 book awards back then or later, so I have emailed the contact at BMA Library to ask if they have an accessible archive with it. Also the RCP Faculty of Public health do not name their fellowships on their website anywhere for any year so I have emailed the membership secretary. I have the certificates which doesn't help for the url. I will reply again when they have responded. Oh dear it logged me out so rewrote this Best wishes A AnnQoLAge ( talk) 09:41, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
Hello all, just a quick note after seeing discussions here mentioned elsewhere. References (citations) on Wikipedia -- for proving notability or otherwise -- do not need to be accessible online ("live"). If a reliable source was published in, for example, 1998, with a significant statement or significant coverage about an individual, then it is entirely acceptable merely to cite that publication. (Anyone needing to verify it can do so by finding a published paper copy, as described at WP:SOURCEACCESS, "a print-only source may be available only in university libraries. Rare historical sources may even be available only in special museum collections and archives. Do not reject reliable sources just because they are difficult or costly to access"). Of course, it is very helpful to have a working URL to anm online copy of the publication, but it is not essential. MPS1992 ( talk) 18:59, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

I moved this to article space because as far as I could tell the AfC process is highly backlogged and a lot of work went into putting this article through a rigorous review even before any AfC review. Plus, wikipedia has the bar set way too high for female academic notability, as evidenced by stories of the rejection of Donna Strickland's article in May, before she was a Nobel laureate. Her work was certainly notable before the Nobel. Additionally, I suspect this article is more likely to be reviewed for having been moved to article space. - Furicorn ( talk) 08:20, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
