[edit] Bonny Hicks

Bonny Hicks (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

AfD nominated by Fighting for Justice with reason: "the bonny hicks article appears to have no notablity whatsoever. I say it should be deleted." This is a procedural nomination - my opinion is Neutral. Tevildo 03:20, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Weak Keep I did a Google search for her, and a few reputable articles turned up, but nothing really significant. This is a tricky one. I say that if someone can expand the article and provide references that satisfy WP:BIO, then I guess Keep, but if not, I say go ahead and delete it. --Sbrools (talk . contribs) 03:30, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete fails WP:BIO and does not assert notability, which is speediable. Unless the article can be expanded, as above, I would go for a delete. wtfunkymonkey 03:34, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
Keep. She absolutely is notable in Singapore and a CNN article mentions her prominently in an article about the jet that crashed, killing her[1]. 45,000 books sold, as the article mentions, is a good number in Singapore. She has also has had numerous community centers and social organizations named after her in Singapore. The article needs cleanup and to be de-stubbed to better establish her notability, that's all.

*Delete in my view does not meet WP:BIO -- Bec-Thorn-Berry 04:55, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

    • Agree to Keep as per request from CyberAnth (posted on my talk page) and now that adjustments made. -- Bec-Thorn-Berry 04:06, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep for now ... authors that are more than self-published are inherently notable. BigDT 06:13, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per CyberAnth and [2]. Kimchi.sg 07:24, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, without question - I just spent a few hours expanding the article. She is even more notable than I had initially thought. Check out the article now. CyberAnth 08:01, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep clearly is independently notable even she didn't meet the section of WP:BIO about enduring contributions. Fabulous job, CyberAnth.--Kchase T 08:47, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
Keep. Had the article look like this I would never have nominated for deletion. Fighting for Justice 09:17, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
Well, if you had not NfD'ed it it would not look like this. :-) But I think this is a lesson that we should all be slow to delete and quick to research...in a fair amount of depth. CyberAnth 09:50, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
So can we consider this nomination withdrawn? :-) Kimchi.sg 09:21, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, she is notable enough and after the expansion it is definitely better. She was a well known author in the past as well as a model. Terence Ong 10:05, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep looks notable enough. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:47, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep pretty notable. ← ANAS Talk? 20:17, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - Yes, keep it. The article looks lovely now. :-) Fighting for Justice 20:23, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - as above. Tonytypoon 00:44, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
