The result was keep. Subject has received non-trivia coverage for more than one thing, so appears to meet WP:BIO. Fabrictramp (talk) 23:45, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

insufficient notability - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 16:10, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

• Keep because Arnet is notable, especially in Pittsubrgh. She is the head of a major foundation, has been the subject of dozens of published newspaper articles (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette), and has been given several awards. I wrote this article and firmly believe that people, espeically in Pittsburgh, will benefit from this biographical information about Arnet. Semsch (talk) 16:51, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
• Keep - Substantial coverage in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazzette, twice.[1][2]; 2004 Pittsburgh Magazine "40 under 40"[3][4] and the "girlcot" at Tolerance.org[5] with links to other coverage. Other coverage by CPL, Pittsburg City Paper, etc. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 16:58, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
• Keep - She appears to have far more notability than one might see in a 'vanity' page. Rob Banzai (talk) 17:21, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
• Delete. No notability or news coverage outside of Pittsburgh established. Being a local activist and school board member does not establish any notability on a national or international level, hence not an encyclopedic topic. The only reference cited outside of Pgh, tolerance.org, does not meet WP:RS. KleenupKrew (talk) 21:24, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

• Weak keep. Article reads like a resume and needs cleanup. Impact is largely local, but the "girlcott" in particular received national coverage; on the other hand, her part in it was as a figurehead/spokeswoman. An article on Women & Girls Foundation of Southwestern Pennsylvania might pass WP:ORG on the basis of the girlcott, but I'm not sure it is appropriate to credit her in the main. If we had an article on the foundation she could be mentioned. Very iffy all around, but I lean toward keeping this in some form. --Dhartung | Talk 22:54, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
