I had added "Starting in 2007 Audé will be doing some work for another South Carolina media outlet - a Bahá'í oriented radio station WLGI (named in a association with an institute named after Louis Gregory). She will host new program features, the Baha’i News Beat and Baha’i Bookshelf. Baha’i News Beat features short local, national and international news and feature stories from the worldwide Baha’i community." which was reverted because of lack of reference. The reference exists as an emailed news release but I can't find it anywhere on a website. I have no reason to doubt the email itself. How would such a sitation be made? In the meantime I've urged the authoring agency to post this somewhere responsible (not a blog, etc.) Additionally I've added numerous references and a bit of other content as good faith effort to improve the page as a sign I'm not a flake.-- Smkolins 15:35, 8 April 2007 (UTC) reply

I'm cross-posting this from a user talk page in case it can come in handy for some other editors of the article.

Hi there - thought I'd drop you a friendly note on your talk page regarding this article. I can see you're clearly passionate about this biography; however, there are some pretty serious issues with the article that contributed to my choice to propose it for deletion.

• It lacks in-line citations for statements that are somewhat POV and in need of reference if they are to stay. Examples of statements that need to be sourced or removed ASAP:

• "...one of Susan’s proudest moments was bearing the Olympic torch as it passed through Columbia in 1996." "Proudest moments" is a POV statement, and there ought to be an in-line citations supporting the fact that she bore the Olympic torch in that year and that she considers it to be a proud moment.
• "Susan is equally respected for her service to the community and is a much-requested inspirational speaker and a trail-blazing role model for women and persons with disabilities." This statement may well be true, but again, these things need specific citations.
• "Susan often credits Woodrow Wilson Rehabilitation Center in Fishersville, Virginia, with changing her attitude and outlook on life in a wheelchair." Again, we need a citation that shows when and where she made this statement.

• It reads like an advertisement in a few ways, notably for the subject's personal website and for the rehab center cited above.

• The two pictures included don't appear to be free images, as is claimed in their summaries; they both seem to be promotional images for the TV station where the subject worked, and although their use here may fall under the fair use rationale, this should be cited.

Again, I didn't mean to step on any toes or be a jerk, but there are some pretty serious issues with the article. I'm going to re-add a BLP citation tag to the article, because there are some highly POV claims made in the article that need in-line citations ASAP if they are to stay.
