Fails WP:SIGCOV and WP:BIO. The sources given are either not significantly about the article subject, not independent, or not reliable and my attempts to find better sources that establish notability have come up pretty empty. GSS 💬 11:31, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

- Keep No reason to delete this article. Etel Leit is a well-known TV personality who has authored books and created music CDs on a subject that has attracted great interest among parents. She lectures on the topic and has been interviewed by NBC, CNN and so on. She was profiled in a university publication. In my opinion, the tone is neutral, not promotional.I have written nearly a hundred articles in the last decade and all have been found acceptable. As always on Wikipedia, there is room for improvement, but at the moment, I think deletion is unjustified.-- Geewhiz ( talk) 12:21, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

- Delete I did a WP:BEFORE and came up empty. Wikipedia is not for promotion. Wm335td ( talk) 20:37, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
- Comment: I don't know what you guys are talking about. This article is backed up by a series of references that specifically relate to Etel Leit, not just a "passing mention." Seems like you are just serial deletionists and haven't even looked at the article. She is a woman who is dedicated to improving communication and has been covered by third party sources. There are efforts going on to improve Wikipedia coverage of women, and this article fits in that category. Certainly it has more going for it than a very large percentage of entries about superheroes and space creatures or whatever else interests the teenagers who make up the bulk of Wiki editors nowadays...-- Geewhiz ( talk) 21:24, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
- Come now. That is a borderline WP:PA. Not a teenager here either. Please refrain. You can check anyone's AfD !voting record here. I will WP:AGF and if you can show me two non-trivial secondary sources I will change my !vote. I did not find any. Wm335td ( talk) 21:31, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
- Delete A WP:BEFORE search didn't turn up anything establishing notability and the article itself is clearly written in a promotional tone. Best, GPL93 ( talk) 18:44, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
- Delete. I looked to be sure, and found zero sources on google newspapers, scholar, or JSTOR. That's not just lack of significant coverage, that's no coverage. I found Leit's books on Google Books, along with passing mentions and even "No results found in this book." This may be the first time I've been accused of being a "deletionist" in my 12 years of service to Wikipedia. Bearian ( talk) 21:03, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
