[edit] Jill Krop

Seems to be an nn news reporter. Fails the "professor test" i.e. there is nothing to differentiaate this person from thousands of others in the same profession. PROD removed previously, article now claims that subject is "award-winning", yet no verification of the award, nor an indication of the importance of the award is given. Article reads like a CV and a copyvio. Zunaid 12:59, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy keep, nomination is bad faith bordering on vandalism. IMDB credits alone pass notability test. "Article reads like a copy vio" is a claim that makes no sense whatever; if it is a copyvio, nominator should have little trouble finding the source. Monicasdude 14:11, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Reply: IMDB credits are as bit parts in several movies, mostly as a news anchor: 1. IMHO this alone does not equate to notability (although it does add to already established notability from other sources, which the article has yet to demonstrate). 2. The movie roles are not mentioned AT ALL in the article, neither is ANY OTHER mention of notability besides the unproven "award-winning" claim. I nominated the article based purely on what is currently written, which currently equates to nothing more than a simple CV. I contest the "bad faith" claim, and find the vandalism claim truely absurd. Zunaid 16:01, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Because of their high public visibility, news anchors are notable. (I'm going to edit out the bit about Jill's favorite hobbies though.) BTW, I think accusations of bad faith tend to be unproductive in AFD debates. The merits of the nomination are what matter, not the motivation of the nominator. --Thunk 17:22, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Thunk, I think Ruby 17:37, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep News amnchor is sufficient to establish notability for mine. Capitalistroadster 19:13, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I acted hastily and with ignorance by deleting the AFD's. Trolls came to mind. This won't happen again. However, there's nothing controversial about it to warrant deletion. The article is a work-in-progress. As for imdb credits or any credits you could say the same for other articles. News hound
• Speedy Keep per all. Ardenn 04:10, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. --Dogbreathcanada 05:38, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
• I'm not, as a general rule, convinced that local news anchors on individual TV stations really merit their own articles, but as long as the general consensus permits them there's little valid reason to treat her differently than all of the others who already have articles. Either keep, or try to build a standing policy consensus against local news anchors. Bearcat 19:34, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - per "Jill Krop is a Canadian television journalist and the current Global BC News Hour Final anchor, as well as radio personality." --Rob 05:10, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep: I'm curious why nom. didn't nom. all of the people listed on her TV station? Some of her co-workers' articles sound even less notable. Odd choice... —Wknight94 (talk) 19:33, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
