Delete as unsourced and copyvio. These KDKA pages are barely more than cut-and-paste jobs from KDKA's own site. I still feel nom and Trey need better reasoning for their position, though.

Keep Keep This woman is a great news anchor. One of, if not, the the best in Pittsburgh. Also, Wikipedia is an online Encyclopedia and I'm pretty sure that you find people in an Encyclopedia.

Delete -- All of the information on this entry can be found on the station's Web site. Nothing about this entry is unqiue. Just because this anchor is on television doesn't mean she warrants a page. --Write_On_1983talk |

Comment - Keep I think if more information is gatered about Patrice King Brown, than the page should not be deleted. She is a great news anchor; I don't understand why someone who has won this many awards and has so much experience doesn't deserve a simple Wikipedia page.

Keep and New Pictures - Again, not a paragraph like some pages and new pictures are needed. I think the pictures used are close to being in violation of fair use. -

Delete per nom. I agree with the nomination, and I want to ask seriously what our guidelines are for inclusion of local media personalities. Several people have mentioned the awards this anchor has won---but who gave out those awards, and are those organizations themselves notable? What are the standards for media and press awards in the area of local news in small and medium sized markets? I cannot claim to know, but I think we should find out before claiming that is reason enough for articles of this type to be kept. As I said earlier, all the cheerleading for KDKA aside, what is notable about a local news anchor? ---

KeepUser:TREYWiki keeps posting that "only KDKA's people have wiki pages," and, as this has nothing whatsoever to do with AfD, I say keep all articles TREYWiki votes to delete because "only KDKA's people have wiki pages." Here's an example of a non-KDKA person with a wiki page:
Charles Darwin. Another:
Henry Kissinger.

Comments I mean in newscasting. Charles Darwin is extreamly notable. Newscasters are not. Especally when a sockpuppeteer and his sock are making most of the comments and votes. --TREYWiki00:58, 29 April 2007 (UTC)reply
Comment Please provide a link to the Wikipedia policy page which states "newscasters are not notable." And, while you're searching for it, check this out, [
[1]] (American television news anchors). Please do take the sock puppetry accusations to the right page, though, as sock puppets are incredibly boring.

Question :What I would like to know is why can't more information be gathered on this journalist so her page can be expanded?

I think you are trolling. I have never said all TV newspeople are not notable. Are they nominated for AfD? No. You are the one playing games. --TREYWiki18:35, 29 April 2007 (UTC)reply
Keep as this is a notable news anchor. Expand with details of past experience, though. Examples of news reporters with articles include
Ross Becker,
Ric Romero,
Gary Papa. Just because the article is crummy now doesn't mean that it could get better in the future.

Comment The proposed community ban has been withdrawn by its originator
[2] who opted for an RFCU which was returned as a negative to the accusation of sock puppetry
[3] and declined for further review due to lack of evidence. These accusations have been withdrawn or proven false.
