Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tera Williams

Notability in question. Appears to be a reporter of only local importance. ghits NMChico24 00:05, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete Fails the notability criteria for biographies. NeoFreak 01:14, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
Delete, fails WP:BIO by leaps and bounds. I can think of very, very few local TV news anchors who'd clear WP:BIO, and local TV beat reporters don't come remotely close. RGTraynor 03:50, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
Tentative Keep, the Burlington Industries implosion story marginally satisfies WP:BIO, although more noteworthy works would make a more solid case. Perhaps the original author of this article can add some? There are lots of Wikipedia articles involving local news reporters whose notability could be questioned. At least this is in a major market, Chicago. If we delete this one, where do we stop? Truthanado 04:10, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Comment: When there are no local reporter articles that don't come close to satisfying WP:BIO, is my guess. Whether the Burlington Industries implosion is a notable story is one issue -- buildings get imploded all the time -- whether that makes one of (no doubt many) reporters who had on-air time commenting on it is quite another entirely. Only 36 Google hits for "Tera Williams" + "Fox" [1], almost all of which are blogs, her TV station's website and her own website. There may be some spam issues involved; almost the sole Wikipedia activity of the article's creator is putting up articles on various local reporters of Fox-affiliated stations.

Delete. Covering a notable a story does not make one notable, unless it involves getting some sort of major "scoop" that other reporters on that same story don't get. And if that happenes, there'll be secondary sources which make mention of it that could be cited to establish that notability. Mwelch 06:28, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
Delete, While some local reporters, print and electronic, may satisfy the demands of WP:BIO this one does not. JBEvans 10:41, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
