Fails WP:BIO, reliable source and notability guidelines. 2 of the sources are blogs/forums and can't be used. The AFA link is a press release type bio on the subject, and other independent non-PR sources can't be found to afford this person notability Russavia (talk) 20:34, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep. She is notable for being the oldest flight attendant as well as for her work in being one of the leaders in the movement to improve the status of the female flight attendant. The question seems to be whether there are reliable and verifiable sources as required by WP:BIO. I have added several other sources so that the information is supported not just by PR articles and blogs but also by articles from the flight attendants union, airlines in Asia, a London newspaper, and others.

  • Keep sources are sufficient. DGG (talk) 05:21, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Week Delete only because the sources are from her employer or union or copies of their press releases, really needs independent reliable sources of her achievements. MilborneOne (talk) 23:24, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. Iris Peterson is a notable person, and is especially important in terms of gender and age discrimination. Sources are sufficient to justify notability. CaviaPorcellus (talk) 16:26, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
