[edit] Anna Clifford

Anna Clifford (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Judging from a search on Google and Google News, the subject appeared in a few newspapers for about three days in mid-March. Along with the fact that there are concerns about a biography about a living person (publicizing her DUI even more), I don't believe the subject satisfies notability guidelines with her 15 minutes of fame Wafulz 00:45, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. No notability, no references. --Cúchullain t/c 02:20, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Additionally, the user who created the page claims to be the subject herself here.--Cúchullain t/c 02:23, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, not notable. --Dariusk 03:19, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, Certainly not worthy of inclusion and especially so if she created the page. JBEvans 10:31, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete- cool hairstyle, but not notable. -FisherQueen (Talk) 12:58, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete; Wikipedia is not the News of the Weird. Tizio 14:37, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, but keep the mention on the Mohawk hairstyle page. Seems worth the mention (unlink it, though), the pic is a nice example, and we certainly have permission for it. More important question: how can you have a mohawk that high and be driving a car at the same time? Was it a convertible? Pinball22 15:27, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. Even if it really is Clifford uploading the image, she would not own the copyright to the photo. That would belong to whatever jurisdiction processed her arrest. If that was the case, it would only be fair use in an article on Clifford (which seems likely to be deleted) and not on an article about Mohawk hairstyles, where there is ample opportunity to snag a GFDL, CC, or PD image. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 19:17, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Question. You mean mug shots are not in the public domain as creations of the government? Glad I looked in on this debate, because I definitely didn't know that . . . oh, and delete, by the way.Mwelch 21:43, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
  • I think only works of the federal government are automatically in the Public Domain. A DUI mugshot would be either a state or municipal issue. --Wafulz 22:08, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Wafulz is indeed correct. That is not to say that some jurisdictions don't put their images in the public domian, but the usualy Wikipedia tag about images created by government employees being in the public domain generally only applies to the Feds. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 00:02, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Much obliged to each of you. I indeed learn something new every day. Mwelch 00:57, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Whoops... I didn't even consider the possibility that mug shots might not be in the public domain! Pinball22 15:25, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
  • For what it is worth, Image:Anna22.jpg would be great for the Mohawk article, but the user did not realease the image under a free license. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 18:57, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete This is one of those cases where you have to consider the fact that in three, ten, or even thirty years, no one will know about or remember this. Just because it was news for two weeks, that doesn't mean that it is notable enough for an encyclopedia. I'm not even going to touch on the conflict of interest problems in the article as well. --Cyrus Andiron 15:32, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Flunks both WP:WEB and WP:BIO. Painfully close to CSD A7. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 19:05, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete fails WP:BIO DUI/DWI non notable. The mohawk, however, would fit the mohawk page per Pinball22.--Paloma Walker 19:39, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete I saw her on the smoking gun and got a laugh at her mohawk, but an article is not called for. Especially mentioning her kids names and dates of birth. Anyone who wants to see DUI mugshots can check out [1]. Anynobody 07:36, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
