Although not written by Sofka, this is just an autobiography. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.65.2.31 (talk) 16:05, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Are you questioning her notability? If so, the award from Israel suffices to make her notable (and she also meets general notability in my estimation - she generated a ton of press). Or the sourcing? Yes, the article leans heavily on her autobio and the bio by her daughter. In the interest of accuracy. Yngvadottir (talk) 17:45, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I managed to change the date of the article from 1974 to 1994. The problem was that the article I used had already been cited on the page, so I decided to delete my own citation of the article and change the original citation date to the correct one.
