WP:NOPAGE concerns. She was the seventh oldest person in the world at the time of her death.

• Delete and Redirect to one of the three longevity-related lists she's on. You can find them under "See also" in this "article", such as it is. For sources, we have a primary source (a City of Shreveport proclamation) a fairly brief CNN feature about a birthday with thoroughly pedestrian information, all of it dutifully transcribed into the "article" as if it says something encyclopedic and a WP:ROUTINE obit. Fails WP:SIGCOV. Fails WP:GNG. Precisely the kind of bio for which WP:NOPAGE was written. WP is WP:NOT: a web-hosting service for the Gerontology Research Group, a WP:MEMORIAL board, a place for hobbyists to accrete WP:FANCRUFT. We're building an encyclopedia here. The encyclopedia is not enhanced by hundreds of stand-alone articles like this, celebrating the "achievements" of long-lived people as they vie for mythical titles, with "incumbents" "losing" their places to "successors" who stave off the Angel of death one day, week or month longer than current "record-holders." The study of human longevity is a fit, indeed crucial, subject for our encyclopedia to cover. The individual lives of every long-enduring mortal soul? Not so much. There are three longevity lists to choose from to redirect this person's name. One can even insert a mini-bio on to some longevity lists, and maybe more need them.

The claim of being the oldest person in Louisiana at the time of her death carries no particular presumption of notability under any recognized specific notability guideline or outcome.

"Only that one case"?

• On the fence. There is a part of me that wants to !vote delete because: the article subject has asked for it repeatedly and because no article will obviously put a stop to the never-ending headaches over the tendentiousness of the article subject as a demanding, whiny editor. He's not here for Wikipedia, he's here for his bio and online image and self-promotion. On the other hand, the subject does meet notability guidelines, albeit more in the past than the present (but, Wikipedia is not news, so...). I guess keeping is more in line with Wikipedia's purpose. Still, I'm torn because I know RAR is going to remain a pain in the ass as long as the article remains. Unless something helpful to the encyclopedia is done to keep his fingers out if the pie that is the BLP on him, that is. Which leaves me to say this: those of you saying "Keep" but refusing to do anything to keep the article subject away from article even though for years he has yet to show he's anything but a troublesome WP:SPA who is WP:NOTHERE to build the encyclopedia... You will reap what you've sown: more disruption and frustration. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 23:45, 9 November 2015 (UTC) reply

• Excuse me, but it is not whiny, demanding, or self-promotion to expect accuracy and fair unbiased editing. It is not a solution to either censor me or delete the bio because it isn't exactly as some editors prefer it to be. I have raised questions at the Talk page about the consistent application of Wikipedia rules and fairness. That is not disruption, but rather constructive criticism. It is troublesome to see the way that some people periodically pop in to use the bio as a punitive place to bash me. But recently the bio has become more stable. My fingers in the pie is necessary to offer some balance to what has been a very messy and often nasty process of editing. I certainly don't mean to be a pain in the ass, but rather a check and meaningful frame of reference. Rick Alan Ross ( talk) 00:55, 10 November 2015 (UTC) reply

RAR, you said you'd go away for at least three days and not post or edit in order to get a handle on policy and guidelines.

Just fulfil your promise. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 01:43, 10 November 2015 (UTC) reply

Thinking about some of your comments some more, I'm struck by the outright and sheer arrogance of them. First of all, BLPs in Wikipedia are written quite well and without the assistance of the article subject all the time. It's been that way since the first Wikipedia BLP was created. We don't need you or any article subject to help us write such bios. As far as balance, Wikipedia editors (especially those of us who have been here a while and have thousands and thousands of edits to our credit) know how to create the appropriate balance in an article based on Wikipedia guidelines. And if we ever get flummoxed, we have each other to work with in order to get it right. We don't need you be "a check" or a frame of reference, because we have reliable references available to us. That's the way it works for all BLPs, in fact. Do you honestly think we are all so inept that we can't get it right? Do you seriously think that you, someone who has said over and over again that they don't understand Wikipedia policies and guidelines, can better edit or edit by proxy than those of us who already know policy and guidelines? If people truly do "pop in to use the bio as a punitive place to bash" you, it's taken care of. Those of us who have been answering your questions and have taken inordinate amounts of time trying to explain things to you have the article on our Watchlists, so we know when an edit occurs and will correct it if it's outside the bounds of policy. You really don't need to be here for the article to be done right nor do you need to keep a guard on the article. We're not idiots and we're not new to this. You, on the other hand, keep telling us how you don't get Wikipedia. Well, if you really don't get how things work, please stay out of the way of those who do. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 02:54, 10 November 2015 (UTC) reply

Excuse me, but I never called anyone an idiot. I think that my knowledge of the facts and reliable sources about my own life and work is meaningful and probably more informed and in-depth than most Wikipedia editors. Also, given the sorry history of my bio and all the sock puppets posting there it isn't meaningful or constructive to insult me. I will continue to read the Wikipedia links offered. I will take a break to do this and appreciate the constructive criticism and helpful suggestions offered. If you will please stop posting misleading negative rants about me there would be no need for me to respond. Let's cool off and take a break. We both have better things to do.

• Speedy Keep This seems a personality conflict, and there is absolutely no place for that. The references supplied are impeccable, and numerous. The subject is notable within his field, and generally. CBS, New York Times, books, newspapers, legal journals... Forty-five refs supplied, both primary and secondary. Deleting the article because there is a WP:COI is not the solution. On the other hand, the subject of this article needs to restrict himself to the article talk page, not edit his own article, and quit irritating the VOLUNTEERS who put their time and effort into maintaining the encyclopedia.

The result was redirect/delete as a recreation of an article previously brought to AfD back in September, a little under two months ago. The issues have not been resolved and the sources here do not establish how Barron is independently notable of his father. As was said at the prior AfD, children do not automatically inherit notability from their parents except in very specific circumstances such as certain types of royalty. Other than a couple of sources, the focus is almost solely on Barron's parents and it could also be argued that the sources that do mention Barron are more interested in covering his parents than they are the child himself. There's also the issue of him being a minor, which means that we need to approach an article with even more caution than we would an adult. That his parents are not entirely shy about putting him in the public eye is irrelevant. I think that Bearcat sums up Wikipedia's policy on children of famous parents quite well in this edit to the prior article for Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt: "redirect; per WP:NOTINHERITED she does *not* qualify for her own separate Wikipedia article until she's actually done something more notable and sourceable than having famous parents." If someone wants to contest this, this will have to be taken to WP:DRV. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 06:00, 10 November 2015 (UTC) reply

Do NOT recreate this article in the mainspace until this goes through DRV, as we have to guard the privacy of a minor and I cannot really see where the information here cannot be just as well contained in Trump's article or an article on his family, if there is justification to create the article Family of Donald Trump.

• Delete. Agree with nom, career so far fails NACTOR requirements for encyclopedia inclusion. -- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 12:51, 2 November 2015 (UTC) reply
• Hi all. I made this article. Sorry, if this might not meet the guidelines, but I don't yet see why not. I first thought to make it because I noticed she was one of the only recurring characters not to have her own page on the List of Two and a Half Men characters page. She is not listed, there, under the Minor Character heading. So I'm not sure it fails WP:NACTOR, because "significant" is somewhat subjective. I personally think a recurring role in a notable TV show, like this is "significant" and winning awards for her significant role in the short films Father and Cracked, qualify as multiple significant roles, it seems to me. True they are short films, but being lauded by as venerable and significant a festival as Woods Hole Film Festival, for example, makes them notable, in my view. Of course, I am still learning, as an editor, but these seemed to add up to multiple significant roles in notable productions, to me. Of course, I am always willing to listen to opposing viewpoints and will concede, if I feel I made a mistake. But so far, I am not convinced this doesn't meet the NACTOR. Also, I'd appreciate if someone could make more clear what "unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment" means, as that also seems subjective. I imagined multiple awards, by notable film festivals would qualify for that point, as well.-- _{User:AntonTchekhov| reply here} 19:27, 2 November 2015 (UTC) reply

"Significant" usually means a main character, or a recurring character whose participation in a TV program went well beyond that of a recurring character. In this case, Wright's role was simply a recurring character in 5 episodes. Having a recurring role in a notable TV show does not constitute a significant role because notability is not inherited. The subject must stand on their own as a notable individual. -- AussieLegend ( ✉) 19:54, 2 November 2015 (UTC) reply

Ah ok, understood. But, for future articles, what is the cut off point of significance, and where is that defined, on WP? Also, what is the situation with awards from notable insitutions? Given these were awarded to Wright, specifically, wouldn't that make her notable, as an individual? She did play a major role in both short films. Are short films exempt from notability?

This article has been speedy deleted twice and been the subject of a previous AfD discussion ( Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stuart Styron) that closed as Delete. Right now, the article is in worse shape than in 2014 and the original reasons apply: Non-notable as actor, musician, or artist. I have suggested to the article creator that the article be userfied but they insist on recreating the article. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 16:26, 2 November 2015 (UTC) reply

It looks like much of the copy of the article is taken from his Facebook biography. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 19:39, 2 November 2015 (UTC) reply

• Delete This looks better than the one I speedied, but I don't think the author has grasped the idea of notability and reliable independent referencing yet. (I did try explaining after receiving a somewhat aggressive message from the author - which didn't worry me, even though it accused me of being aggressive...). I too suggested Draft:space or user space but was ignored. Peridon ( talk) 18:00, 2 November 2015 (UTC) reply

Finngall, that draft article is sparse on notability but at least it is original content rather than being cribbed from his Facebook About page. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 19:41, 2 November 2015 (UTC) reply

Hello Finngall, Peridon and Liz ^{Read! Talk!} I should apologize some reactions from the last 2 days. Before I decided to work very seriously on the article, I could imagine how hard it gonna will be. But hard attacking every hour from everyone to delete the article, because of the "disasters", "Speedy deletetes" from the past (for example) is not acceptable. It`s now 1 year left and a new chance for a new article is absolutly okay. With a negative energy going through from the first minute is not professional and against Wikipedia rules. I even not starting with the text and all of you starting attacking. So, i must react in the same form to get attention that I am serious in what I`m doing. I know there is an option however it is, that Stuart Styron should placed here on wikipedia. It is just a question of finding the right elements. "Living people" or "artist" or "musician" or "actor" should be checked cleary, I know that now, but it`s not easy. He is a musician and an actor, he already study all in all for many years, but if it`s not notable, that`s fine, but we should find a middle way to describe his work and engagement. Kicking him out with all your hearts is a mistake. Whatever, now the site looks much better and i still working on it. If you want to help in some points, that would be fine. I would be thankfull for every positive advice and enthusiasm.

On the one hand, we have a BLP1E situation with her father and the shooting. On the other hand, we have her book-writing. The former does not lend itself towards inclusion on Wikipedia, and the latter is not significant enough for her to pass WP:AUTHOR. The book-selling success is (if I had to guess) largely due in part to the TV show that featured her (and probably threw in a plug or three for the book). Her other works do not appear to have drawn much attention, and thus she does not meet Wikipedia's inclusion criteria. Primefac ( talk) 15:59, 2 November 2015 (UTC) reply

I can't find references that convince me this author truly meets WP:GNG. The links in the article are mostly self-published. Many are self promotional; notably, links to the subject's own Kickstarter funding campaigns, and to guest-written pieces at Today and the Huffington Post websites. Most all are self-published primary sources, even if thinly veiled. It's not hard to find a few mentions of the books, so maybe the books are more deserving of articles than the author is.

• Delete per Davey2010 - searches did not turn up enough to show it meets notability requirements. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 14:16, 9 November 2015 (UTC) reply

• Keep - this is a radio station with an OFCOM license to broadcast on fm, therefore it seems to me to be at least as notable as many other British community radio stations with pages on wikipedia. It is a page with a fairly small geographic footprint, I can't see that a lack of links found on google is sufficient to determine notability - or indeed whether the page should be deleted. If this kind of AfD is allowed, I think it is a dangerous precedent whereby only radio stations with a wide geographic listenership are considered notable. That said, the content is rubbish, I'm not sure that a person arriving to find out more about the station would learn anything of value from it. JMWt ( talk) 21:29, 9 November 2015 (UTC) reply

• Just because it has an Ofcom licence doesn't mean it should get an article, With the greatest of respect If there's nothing on Google or anywhere else that establishes notability then it doesn't deserve an article, Not true community stations can be and are in most cases are notable but some stations like this one aren't notable. – Davey2010 ^Talk 21:55, 9 November 2015 (UTC) reply

• Just to clarify, WP:NMEDIA does state that if a station has a broadcast license from the appropriate regulatory authority (FCC, CRTC, Ofcom, etc.), then it needs to make no further claim of notability beyond the fact of having a license — but the fact of having a license does not constitute an exemption from having to reliably source the resulting article. A radio station does not gain an entitlement to keep an article that's permanently unsourced, or based solely on primary sources like its own website — it's the quality of reliable source coverage that you can provide to support the notability claim, not the mere fact that an unsourced claim of notability has been asserted, that gets a radio station in the door. Better sourcing might be possible here if somebody has access to a better database of British media coverage than what shows up on Google News — I only have deep database access to Canadian newspapers, so I'm not the angel of salvation here — but having an Ofcom license does not give a radio station a "no sourcing required" freebie. Bearcat ( talk) 23:50, 9 November 2015 (UTC) reply

• I think we're talking about two different things here, first whether the station is notable, and deserves a page, at all. I agree with Bearcat (and apparently WP:NMEDIA) that having a broadcast license should be enough to fulfil the notability challenge. The secondary question is about the sourcing. And I would agree that the sourcing on the page is bad. I said this above - I'm saying the page should be kept even if it is decided that the content needs paring and the sources improved. I also note that according to local media, an independent survey suggested that it was the most listened-to radio station in the broadcast area. I've been able to find references on the station in other local media, from the Welsh government, from OFCOM, from the UK charity regulator. I therefore disagree that this station is not notable and politely suggest that it ought to be possible to rewrite the page sourcing information from outwith of their own primary source. I think that would make it a more valuable page for potential visitors wanting to find out about the most popular radio station in their area, even if it has limited interest to anyone else. JMWt ( talk) 08:40, 10 November 2015 (UTC) reply
• I have added some extra references from books, OFCOM official documents, news reports etc. Please can you take a look and tell me if this (obviously still incomplete) improvement addresses any of the issues raised here? If not, can you please explain what it is that would be needed? JMWt ( talk) 09:39, 10 November 2015 (UTC) reply

• That's definitely heading very much in the right direction — I'd certainly like to still see a little bit more if possible, but you yourself acknowledged that it's "obviously still incomplete", and there is enough meat to what's already there that I can officially now take a position one way or the other: flag for refimprove, but keep.

Given this is a community radio station with limited range (5-10km for community stations in the UK) I'm not surprised you couldn't find any national secondary sources :-) Perhaps it's worth collapsing the set of UK community radio stations (many of which have similar pages and are likely to be similarly non-notable - sorry I haven't gone looking yet) into a tabular format?

  Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Publicly traded corporations says (my bolding):

  There has been considerable discussion over time whether publicly traded corporations, or at least publicly traded corporations listed on major stock exchanges such as the NYSE and other comparable international stock exchanges, are inherently notable. Consensus has been that notability is not automatic in this (or any other) case. However, sufficient independent sources almost always exist for such companies, so that notability can be established using the primary criterion discussed above. Examples of such sources include independent press coverage and analyst reports. Accordingly, article authors should make sure to seek out such coverage and add references to such articles to properly establish notability.

  Editors coming across an article on such a company without such references are encouraged to search (or request that others search) prior to nominating for deletion, given the very high (but not certain) likelihood that a publicly traded company is actually notable according to the primary criterion.

  From Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Depth of coverage:

  Deep coverage provides an organization with a level of attention that extends well beyond routine announcements and makes it possible to write more than a very brief, incomplete stub about an organization.

  There is "deep coverage" about iSentia.

  This article from The Australian:

  iSentia was a dream pitch for private equity seller Quadrant, which did a fantastic job of getting this away at a price-earnings-ratio of 26. There’s also no doubt that media monitoring is a good and growing business. iSentia is the largest firm of its kind in Australia, enjoying a 90 per cent market share by revenue, and counting 87 per cent of the S&P/ASX 100 as customers. Tick the box marked ‘‘industry leader with pricing power’’.

  The company was founded in 1982 as a press clipping service, but is now a software company. Its products are organised into three pillars to help organisations get their message into the mainstream and social media, keep customers up to date with what’s appearing in the media, and delivering analytical reports on an organisation’s performance in the media.

  The company’s 5000 or so customers – mainly large companies and governments – pay a subscription fee to access these products and tend to be loyal. Its top 50 clients have been with the company for an average of more than 11 years – another tick.

  There’s also the fact that iSentia’s software is highly scalable. With costs largely fixed, a decent chunk of each additional sale flows straight to the bottom line. That’s good for growing margins. Tick.

  This article from The Australian:

  iSentia was among the most traded stocks, with its market cap hitting $486 million.

  iSentia dominates Australia's media monitoring market, providing information from various media sources to alert business and government clients to what is being said about their organisations, competitors and industry.

  The company uses software and other systems to capture and interpret data from more than 5,500 mainstream media outlets, 55,000 online news sources and 3.4 million user-generated content sources on Facebook, Twitter and Weibol.

  Clients include Microsoft, Nike, Coca-Cola and Samsung and most of the top 100 companies listed on the ASX.

  It also operates in the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore and Vietnam and has an emerging presence China.

  The Australian says that "iSentia dominates Australia's media monitoring market", which strongly establishes that iSentia is notable.

  And the coverage I quoted above extends "well beyond routine announcements and makes it possible to write more than a very brief, incomplete stub about an organization" (quoting from Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Depth of coverage:).

• iSentia is a publicly traded corporation. According to Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Publicly traded corporations: "sufficient independent sources almost always exist for such companies, so that notability can be established using the primary criterion discussed above. Examples of such sources include independent press coverage and analyst reports."

  Here are some analyst reports:

  1. From Morningstar, Inc. ( link): 1 ^WebCite, 2 ^WebCite, 3 ^WebCite, 4 ^WebCite, and 5 ^WebCite.
  2. From Reuters: link (12 pages) ^WebCite
  3. From Wright Investors' Service Holdings, Inc.: "Wright Investors Service Comprehensive Report for iSentia Group Ltd" (53 pages) ^WebCite
  These sources demonstrate that because of analyst reports iSentia, like almost all publicly traded corporations passes Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Publicly traded corporations and Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guidelines.

The result was delete. Given less weight to canvassed and votes based on personal attacks. The argument around the sources is around their reliability and whether they pass the GNG. Generally, in the UK, tabloid sources do not count so arguments about the Mirror et al are valid but broadsheet coverage does. The argument then comes down to whether interviews are enough to pass the gng. There is a wide consensus that they do not - indeed they are considered primary not secondary sources as the information comes from the subject not an independant source. As that is essentially the argument put forward to counter the keep argument, it does firmly reflect policy and practise and leaves the conclusion that the consensus is to delete. That said, I have the sense that this is very close to the line and that further coverage not based in interviews presented in my talk page could persuade me to reverse this close.

Seems to fail WP:BIO. The best claim to notability is that she wrote a book that appeared at number 248 on the Amazon.com bestseller's list. This does not seem good enough per WP:AUTHOR. The other claims to notability are based on press-coverage that seem to be more part of a junket rather than notable for some sort of journalistic reason. It may happen that eventually she gets her own talkshow or becomes famous and notable for some reason, but until that time I think it is irresponsible for Wikipedia to have a WP:BLP on this subject since there isn't really much to go on by way of reliable independent sources we would need to write a biography on a naturopath. jps ( talk) 17:44, 9 November 2015 (UTC) reply

Some of those articles were the result of a PR campaign paid by the subject. Most of those articles seem like they are part of a press junket and contain adverts for her naturopathic and spa services with prices. It would be different if she has received a major award for her contributions to society in a meaningful way.

• As jps pointed out, the number of mentions are effects of a PR junket and also seem to be from syndication, rather than multiple reliable sources. The locations are irrelevant if they are basically copying the same content, which was reporting on natural ways to keep skin moisturised without sunscreen. Those sources are not reliable as they discuss pseudoscience topics, like taking "a teaspoon of organic sesame oil, swish it in my mouth for a minute each morning and then spit it out. It helps detoxify the body and improve skin” or "Headstands are great for getting the blood to flow to the face, oxygenating your complexion and helping to remove wrinkle-inducing toxins." Those sources are tabloid-style publications which are not known for publishing purely journalistic content of high reliability. According to WP:Potentially_unreliable_sources, "In general, tabloid-journalist newspapers, such as The Sun, Daily Mirror, Daily Mail, equivalent television shows, or sites like The Register, should not be used."

Delta13C, Do you mean The Mirror, The Birmingham Post, Daily Record, Telegraph, New York Observer, Daily Mail and others are not reliable??? If you believe they are not reliable sources there are atleast 100k existing Wikipedia pages referenced with these sources, lets clean all these pages with sources and bring all of these pages to WP:AFD. If they are a part of PR junket, it is clearly marked on them as as Press Release or Paid Advertisement. Reviewing your recent contributions, they seem to be mostly focused around only this page after your failed attempt to create a promotional page of another naturopath Draft:Michael Uzick. If you know what reliable sources and what are not, why this page was attempted??? Is Nigma Talib a business competitor of Draft:Michael Uzick?

WP:PUS is an essay and as such has no status. Further it is incomplete and, in any case, no justification has been given to support those sources that are included. Just Chilling ( talk) 23:48, 11 November 2015 (UTC) reply

WP:PUS, like all such essays, is a rationale and isn't -- and was never intended to be -- some sort of binary law. Proclaiming "it's just an essay" is, in fact, an implicit admission you don't have an actual counter-argument to use against it. -- Calton | Talk 02:00, 12 November 2015 (UTC) reply

• WP:PUS has good advice. In addition to being circumspect of sources that qualify as tabloid journalism it also makes a great point about Who's Who scams, of which one was formally referenced in the Nigma Talib article section on Awards and Recognition Old revision of Nigma Talib. I understand that editors should apply advice in essays if they help improve Wikipedia. In this case because most of the citations in Nigma Talib come from tabloid, celebrity gossip newspapers and talk about pseudoscience topics and are aimed at business promotion, rather than discussing real achievements, influence on history or science, or anything that would suggest a notable contribution to the greater good. As far as I can tell, Nigma Talib does spa treatments on celebrities and makes dubious claims about gluten and wine affecting the health of facial skin, which are not supported by science. I'd hardly call the page I tried to create of Michael Uzick a promotional page. I noted he has been sanctioned by his naturopathic board for using a pecular substance that is illegal in his practice, which I thought was curious and perhaps notable. It was my first try at making a page (trying to stick to WP:NPOV, and I wanted to gain experience. I learned a lot, including how to use reliable sources, which is what I am now applying in this case. Delta13C ( talk) 08:26, 12 November 2015 (UTC) reply

• Comment regarding the assertion that PR efforts on the article subject's behalf magically make reliable sources not count: No. Companies and individuals issue press releases all the time, and Wikipedia properly does not consider such sources when looking for sources to establish notability. However, once a reliable source such as The Telegraph takes information contained in a press release and subjects it to fact-checking and editorital control, the resulting article, even if based in part on such press releases, is both a reliable source and a valid proof of the notability of subjects discussed in any depth in the article. If we discounted every newspaper or magazine article that used a press release as a source for some of its content, half of Wikipedia (or more?) would have to go. I realize this fact about use of press releases by mainstream press outlets may not be obvious to some people who have never worked in publishing; hopefully the distinction between a press release and an article which used a press release as a source is now clear. — GrammarFascist _contribs ^talk 11:34, 12 November 2015 (UTC) reply

• Delete Meeting WP:GNG isn't a guarantee of being eligible for an article, it's a minimum requirement. And it also takes a pretty generous interpretation of the GNG to say Talib passes. I see no evidence of noteworthy accomplishments, achievements, or real claims to fame, other than the ability to get media outlets to quote her advice. -- Calton | Talk 02:00, 12 November 2015 (UTC) reply

Calton, if WP:GNG isn't a guarantee of being eligible for an article, then there are higher chances than there are thousands of pages on Wikipedia would qualify for deletion. Your reasons are not satisfactory. Can you please review the history of the page, most of her contributions were edited and deleted by users.

Please review Category:Internet celebrities, they also qualify only due to WP:GNG. If the she was referenced in only one or two sources, she would have failed WP:GNG but with the existing sources notability is WP:INHERITED. Ireneshih ( talk) 07:11, 12 November 2015 (UTC) reply

That said, the ping appears to have targeted editors who a) had edited the article recently but b) had not participated in the deletion discussion. Editors who had already participated, regardless of which view we took, were not included presumably because they had already contributed to the discussion. Asking an editor why they didn't nominate an article for deletion that was subsequently nominated by someone else is reasonable, and Ireneshih sepecifically gave that as her reason for pinging those editors.

Agree with me or diagree, I don't care. But articles have a lengthy list of requirements to stay, and articles that stay have to meet WP:FRINGE and other requirements. If the article manages to stay it won't read remotely like it does now. 17:31, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

Agree with me or disagree, I don't care are very harsh words when everyone is working on a common goal here. Normally, I would go along with the nomination, but in this case, the sources seem to show that she has gotten significant media attention. Kavdiamanju ( talk) 18:31, 15 November 2015 (UTC) reply

• Comment: I can't believe I have to keep pointing this out in deletion discussions, but the notability standard requires us to look at whether reliable sources did cover a subject, not whether reliable sources should have covered it. If reliable sources devoted substantial coverage to a given subject, then the subject is notable by definition, and any Wikipedia editor's opinion that the subject was not worthy of the coverage received is simply not relevant. — GrammarFascist _contribs ^talk 12:00, 17 November 2015 (UTC) reply

The subject of the article, the chrome extension, is brand new. Less than a couple weeks old. Less than two months old. Nothing has been No articles or anything significant have been written about it to my knowledge, and the article was created by the maker of the extension. There exists no very few references to it on the internet other than the pages to download the extension. Elzbenz ( talk) 17:05, 9 November 2015 (UTC) reply

It is in good faith though, I hope that this info can exist elsewhere. To be an article it can't be something that is brand new and is yet to be written about by anyone.

An article about a mine which may or may not have been found. The single ref from 1940 is also speculative about whether what was found was or was not the mine. Fails WP:GNG by a spectacularly wide margin. Although most places are judged as inherently notable, this article cannot actually say whether this is a place and whether what may or may not have been found in 1940 was or was not that place.   Velella   ^{Velella Talk}   16:33, 9 November 2015 (UTC) reply

• Keep per WP:GEOLAND, named natural features are often notable, provided information beyond statistics and coordinates is known to exist. This includes mountains, lakes, streams, islands, etc. I have just added three {{ cite book}}s, something that should have been done WP:BEFORE, and I have corrected the lat and long with data from The Idaho Geological Survey's Mines and Prospects Database.
