[edit] Gisella Perl

Gisella Perl (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Does not assert its notability, even though she saved a bunch of lives and wrote books. Even though there is one book source, I see a need for multiple sources to assert notability. V60 ^{干什么？ · VDemolitions} 17:47, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

• Strong Keep, a movie (Out of the Ashes) was made about Perl. Looks like the nominator did absolutely no research about the topic before nominating the article.--Ioannes Pragensis 19:25, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
  • I still don't see why this person is notable. V60 ^{干什么？ · VDemolitions} 19:38, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per Ioannes. Having a movie made about you pretty much settles the notability question for me. The article needs a good clean-up, though. semper fictilis 19:48, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
  • A movie is not enough. Please provide more reliable sources. V60 ^{干什么？ · VDemolitions} 19:57, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
    • On another note, a movie might not always provide reliable information. Sometimes, a movie might mention something that never happened in the person's lifetime. V60 ^{干什么？ · VDemolitions} 20:05, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. I'm finding little to no reliable sources on the person or the movie, so I highly doubt the notability. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps)))} 20:48, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

• STRONG KEEP. Think it over, please! Rhinoracer 21:00, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Please provide a valid reason why this article should be kept. Reasons like this is unacceptable. V60 ^{干什么？ · VDemolitions} 21:05, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, the requirement for inclusion is nontrivial coverage in multiple reliable sources, having a whole book about you and a movie made from it makes it pretty clear that people are talking and writing about your life, so we ought to too. Have you even tried to find other sources? I turned up 74 books that talk about her in under a minute. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 00:12, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, having a movie made about your life, even a straight-to-cable-TV movie, is ample evidence of notability. Lankiveil 02:09, 20 May 2007 (UTC).
• Keep It is not necessary to write two books to be notable. It's necessary to write a notable one, which is a good deal harder and rarer. DGG 02:39, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
• Keep She wrote a book, is the subject of others and had a film made about her experiences in the camp. 'Gisella Perl' gets 70,500 ghits. How can this possibly be deemed non notable? Nick mallory 05:20, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
• Keep as per DGG and Night Gyr, especially. There's definitely enough to prove notability here. Tony Fox (arf!) 05:21, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

• Keep Here's a NYT feature about her from 1982: [1]. The Times also had two pieces reviewing the MOTW about her. These are on top of the books mentioning her etc. Darkspots 13:50, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
• KeepShe is definitely notable. Zello 13:57, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
• Strong keep per all above statements. K. Lásztocska 18:34, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
• Keep There's enough about here. Don't see why to delete the article and not to develop it. --R O ^{A M A T A A} | msg  11:48, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Keep, A Movie (Out of the Ashes), Books, etc etc. A search of google returned over 70,000 hits. I think the nominator simply does not know of her, this doesnt warrant a delete!Hedphunk 18:18, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
