I noticed that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_female_role_models is presently empty without a deletion log. How is that possible? How can we have http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_transgender_characters_in_film_and_tele... but not [[List of female role models]]?
Note that there isn't a [[List of male role models]] either, nor a [[List of role models]]. But it seems a worthwhile article.
If you do create the article, make sure to cite a source for each entry, and to have several sources in the article, before you first click "Save".
Here are some sources you could use:
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/finance/richardtyler/3912041/Enterprising_women...
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/lifestyle/8102909/Are-these-the-women-we-really-a...
http://style.uk.msn.com/sex-and-relationships/photos.aspx?cp-documentid=1552...
http://www.forbes.com/2010/07/17/role-model-oprah-winfrey-angelina-michelle-...
http://www.forbes.com/2010/07/17/role-model-angelina-jolie-hillary-clinton-m...
etc.
These should count as "reliable sources". Together they should be enough to establish the notability of the topic, so your article won't be deleted right away.
Of course, you may have better sources than these, but make sure that whatever you cite has been put out by an established publisher with professional editorial oversight.
And sorry if you knew all of this already.
