[edit] Kiki Carter

WP:BIO WP:BAND Zero hits in GraceNote and IMDB. 55 in Google. John Nagle 20:12, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Article was used as a basis for notability for the band article Dancing Light, which was deleted per AfD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dancing Light. (That article was then re-created, deleted again, and is currently protected against re-creation.) The subject of the article may be locally notable in the Gainsville/Tampa FL. area. --John Nagle 20:17, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
• CommentSources are being added as per the original notices request. Please review the sources as they are added. Every citation was either written about Kiki Carter, written by Kiki Carter or mentions Kiki Carter in the article. It is an exhaustive list to add, and am still entering citations. Am new to Wikipedia, hope I am doing this correctly Do not believe this belongs in the WP:BAND category as subject is equally if not better known for her activism. Subject has appeared in the national media as an activist (Good Morning America,national publications, radio, etc.) and local and regional media as a musician. So not sure which category this would fall in and your help would be appreciated. --Eaglefeather11 20:31, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Sources should be linked, so they can be verified. It would also be better to remove duplicate links (i.e. many links to Gainesville, FL, and repeated links to same few Wiki articles about various newspapers). Would also be better if claims about notability weren't buried under so many minute details. Sanbeg 23:25, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
• Conditional Weak Keep and clean up if the bit about being a whistleblower in the 80s can be verified and cited following WP:V and WP:RS. I'm not sure the references list at the bottom works as it is; new editors may want to refer to WP:CITE for help on this. (A sample tip--your best bet will be third-party sources; articles by the subject may deserve listing under "External Links" but don't meet WP:RS standards for sources.) Also refer to the WP Manual of Style. -- H·G (^words/_works) 22:37, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment have been working to better reference & support notability. Using a footnote style. Eaglefeather11 19:32, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment OK, This is all I'm going to do for now with the possible addition of some other references. If you decide to keep the article, great, maybe I'll work on it a little more after that decision is made. Thanks for your thoughtful consideration of this article. Hope I have addressed the issues presented on this discussion page. Eaglefeather11 14:34, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, appears to have plenty of coverage. Stifle (talk) 21:44, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep Seems to be notable in parts of Florida; is that enough?--Runcorn 20:12, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak delete Sort of maybe locally notable. --John Nagle 20:47, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, the following is quoted from Wikipedia:Notability (people) "The following types of people may merit their own Wikipedia articles, as there is likely to be a good deal of verifiable information available about them and a good deal of public interest in them." including: "Major local political figures who receive (or received) significant press coverage" and "Persons achieving renown or notoriety for their involvement in newsworthy events" Article also meets Verifiability test and Expandability test. Eaglefeather11 21:35, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Keep, I don't understand the problem here. This person has a significant amount of press coverage. Since it falls within Wikipedia guidelines for notability, it should be kept. Lentupuru 14:57, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, Seems to well exceed Wikipedia criteria, looks like a keeper. Indigirl 22:53, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
• keep please person is notable no need to erase this one Yuckfoo 20:01, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
