As far as I can tell, the subject easily meets
WP:BIO and
WP:GNG with at least four in-depth, verifiable, secondary sources (including Skirt! magazine, the Charleston Gazette, Edutopia.org, and Island Eye News). One of the sources is a Newspaper article devoted to Ginny Deerin receiving the Palmetto award, which is apparently a very high civilian honor. She is also a creative professional who founded a significant social monument (the WINGS foundation). Further, two of the discussion contributors suggested they would change their votes if more reliable sources were presented -- and they were, but I don't think those contributors had a chance to change their votes. I think this article deserves another chance -- either through a temporary undeletion or a userfication/revision and submission to AfC.

Comment, the subject paid an editor to write an article about them. Major COI violation.--

If so, she deserves her money back; he did a terrible job, with an article that was so promotional as to attract negative attention. If an article can be written, it would have to be started over from scratch. I am not necessarily opposed to paid editing; I am opposed to promotional low quality editing from whatever source. In the circumstances, I am not going to undelete the article for inspection as I usually do/ As for the Palmetto award, recent governors have been awarding several dozens a year.I urge a SNOW SUPPORT on this deletion.

Endorse deletion – there was clear consensus to delete, but if there is only one author, then e-mail the content of the article to him or her.

Consensus to delete, closure in accordance with the consensus, what's to review?—
