[edit] Emma McCune

Emma McCune (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

does not establish notability, sounds like a bio for 10,000 others in the Peace Corps, Doctors Without Borders... Chris 05:15, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep. Like the bio of 10,000 others except for the part where she marries one of the warlords, I would say. The article isn't written very interestingly, but I don't see how Emma McCune's actual notability can be doubted. There's a well-known book, Emma's War, specifically about her, and 20th Century Fox is currently trying to get that book adapted into a major motion picture. Mwelch 08:30, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep - but needs a re-write! Rgds, - Trident13 09:52, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, it was taken from the official book blurb originally and I've cleaned up most of that. The 2002 book was fairly notable and at one point Nicole Kidman was signed to play her. --Dhartung | Talk 18:54, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep I don't understand why Chris picked this for deletion. Multiple sources and an interesting topic, not that the latter matters. --Kevin Murray 21:37, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
You guys have made her more interesting here than she reads in the article, which doesn't stress the weight you imbue her with. We don't, say, have articles on spouses of politicians or military folks, unless notable in their own right, and the fact that she was mentioned in a book did not seem to have gravitas when I read the article. If as you say there will be cleaning up and improvement, I would be sold on it being a keeper, and would then withdraw the nom. Chris 06:35, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] - Perhaps these will do as sources?-EMP 09:51, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
She wasn't mentioned in a book -- she was the subject of a book, one which was widely noted and may be filmed. Anyway, if there are no other objections perhaps we should move to close based on WP:SNOW. --Dhartung | Talk 18:20, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep She was remarkable and notable. User:Bilko2 14:39, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
