[edit] Flora_Jessop

This person was on ABC's Primetime a few months ago but has no notability other than that. Should be deleted or merged with FLDS. Edrigu 00:50, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Being a critic is not notable, and being an ex-member of a church is not notable. Being a critic of one's ex-church is just spite. Ruby 02:19, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, and any relevant info can be under FLDS. Grandmasterka 02:54, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep. Almost 900 Google hits, she appears to work actively in helping abused, child brides. I'd like a chance to save this and will see if I can't turn it into a real article. Ifnord 05:16, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
• keep. As said, she has quite a lot of relevant Google hits, and seems to have been mentioned in various news sources (CNN, MSNBC) -- Mystman666 ^(Talk) 08:02, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Signficant news coverage of her from various reliable sources (though not yet added to article) indicates she has been found notable. --Rob 08:43, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Rob. Seems notable, covered on national media. --Squiddy | (squirt ink?) 13:36, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Rob. --Terence Ong 16:13, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Delete. Does not seem to be someone of continuing notability, and was merely a name in the news for a few days. I don't think 900 Google hits is a lot, really, for encyclopedic prominence; I have at least 9,700 and don't consider myself an article candidate. MCB 01:11, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep -- Notable critic of somewhat notable LDS splinter group. Haikupoet 19:50, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete complete flash in the pan, utterly unnotable. If this is kept, it should be brought back to AfD in a few months where what will prove to be its moribund edit history and her transient fame should be enough to trash it. Eusebeus 20:48, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Don't delete an article on focus of multiple news stories without a good reason. -- Jake 23:43, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
