[edit] Joyce Gemayel

Bit of a strange one this. I created the article to attempt to resolve a long and acrimonious conflict over her listing on a list of notable people. Recently an editor queried her notability with a speedy tag. Since that was not appropriate, I offered to make a procedural listing on his behalf, so the community can decide.

• Keep. Only because I can't think of any reason why it should be deleted. Granted, she's not Lady Diana, but she's not completely non-notable. —LestatdeLioncourt 22:46, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
• Keep meets WP:BIO with ease Johnbod 23:29, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Not just a first lady but also a noted force in Lebanese politics. Notable per WP:BIO. --Charlene 23:33, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Wife of a former president, main reason being for the keep, in addition to the fact Lebanon has been making headlines for quite some time.--JForget 23:56, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete This article will open the door for self-promoting articles and "beefing up" biographies of people that have little to no significance to Lebanon politics or otherwise. If it is to be kept, then it should not go beyond "Joyce Jemayel is a first lady,wife of President Amin Gemayel, and mother of assassinated minister Pierre Gemayel". --Afif Abdul Wahab
• Keep enough sources to assert the notability of the subject are provided, thus meeting the criteria of WP:BIO. This discussion is not about if this "will open the door for self-promoting articles", it is about whether the subject of the article is notable, and she is pretty notable. —Anas ^talk? 16:48, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
• Keep apparently every US first lady is "notable", every Queen consort of the UK seems to be, even the wives of US vice presidents for the last 70 years or so are "notable" and have articles, and why is Lebanon treated differently? WP:BIAS. Time to combat it. Carlossuarez46 23:13, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

• Comment. With respect, it don't think it is a case of geo-political systemic bias, since the person who queried the notability is himself Lebanese. Rockpocket 23:21, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

• Keep per the commenters above, it would be nice if this could be expanded even further but the subject is valid and holds encyclopedic merit. Yamaguchi先生 07:09, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
