[edit] Alex Best

Lacks notability. Fails WP:BIO. Viridae 10:03, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

• Weak Keep, but only if expanded. Appearing on "I'm a celebrity" ought to mean she needs a new agent, but it is notability of a sort. Footballers' wives, eh? Fiddle Faddle 10:17, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, but add to the article. "Alex Best" gets 67000 hits on google, over 500 alone on the BBC news web site. She is not just known as George Best's one time wife, but has notoriety in her own right. Markb 10:24, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep per above. --Coredesat 10:47, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - a minor celebrity in the UK, but has been subject of numerous interviews in certain sections of the media, particularly during and after her split from George Best. Needs expanding, though. Bob 11:25, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Minor celebrities are ten-a-penny in the UK. -- GWO
• Keep - her fame was undoubtedly originally a result of her marriage to Best, but she has indeed become established in her own right since then. She's appeared on various TV programmes, is often in newspapers and celebrity gossip magazines in the UK, and I think she's even had a book out about her marriage to George. Just because she's not well-known outside the UK doesn't make her non-notable. Seb Patrick 12:55, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep, has achieved fame for being involved in various newsworthy events. Marriage to Best doesn't confer notability, being at his side on TV and in the papers, especially when the motivation behind their marriage was repeatedly questioned, does. Deizio talk 13:42, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep While she initally gained attention through her husband, she's had sufficient media coverage in unrelated areas to be regarded as notable. Oldelpaso 19:34, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
• Weak delete I can't think how this would benefit the general reader. Is the star of a list of All the worlds bars? Gosh, I hope not!---CH 00:35, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
