Draft:Glenys Mair Lloyd
Welsh writer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thank you for such a detailed explanation of what is needed. I used the Welsh-language version of Glenys Mair Lloyd's page as a basis for this one and didn't consider looking for more sources than were used for that page. I've added 3 more sources: one is a memorial tribute in a magazine, and two are from local newspapers. Hopefully that meets the requirements. Diolch! - Kimbarrett92

Comment: We need some more work on this. The notability requirements are for "multiple" significant coverage, per WP:GOLDENRULE. The BBC page is an AMA interview, and the funeral notice is a death notice from the family, and neither can count towards notability. The coflith in Golwyg is a good source, we need ideally 2 more like that. The BBC piece can be used to source uncontroversial details too, but not notability.
