  • Hello Hamtechperson, hope you're doing well. I guess because her actual name now is "Mary Jo Perino", editors may have missed the numerous sources covering her. I believe she passes the WP:GNG and WP:JOURNALIST guidelines comfortably. Tops Magazine's 4-page cover feature on her can be found here. As per the Lexington Herald-Leader, Perino is "the first woman elected to the board of the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association. Perino [...] has won back-to-back NSSA Kentucky Sportscaster of the Year awards." [1] The paper also covered her significant biography here. After her sportscaster of the year award, her biography was also covered by other agencies like this. Some good biographical profile information is also covered in the following two sources: [2] [3]. I'll prefer Keeping this biography. If you believe this is satisfactory, it'll be good if you might consider withdrawing your nomination. Cheers, Lourdes 03:50, 13 November 2017 (UTC) reply
    @ Lourdes: If you wouldn't mind posting those sources on the talk page for the article, I'd appreciate that. Definitely the name change is an issue. I think a move is in order, but that's not for AfD. I'll move it when I get back home, if you or someone else hasn't already done so. Given that the last link ties the two names together, I think we can consider it verified that the two names refer to the same person. I'll withdraw based on that assumption.

    Thank you Hamtechperson. I have left the links on the talk page of the article. Warmly, Lourdes 05:17, 13 November 2017 (UTC) reply
