[edit] Lady Bardales

Scandals towards Lady Bardales may be considered controversial issue in Peru, but to create an article about this person is non suitable on Wikipedia according to its policies about, what is encyclopedic and what is not and the article itself is more likely to be Vanity page.HappyApple 20:29, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Article asserts sufficient notability. KeithD [[User_talk:KeithD|(talk)]] 20:25, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per above and expand. Numerous pages of relevant Google matches. PJM 20:41, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. We need more articles that are chiefly significant to other countries and not to English-speaking ones, not less. Stuff like this is the entire way to slowly fight the systemic bias of the English Wikipedia. And if we can have dozens of pages on Monica Lewinsky... -Silence 23:08, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Messhermit's argument (that she had minimal impact and quickly disappeared from public memory even in Peru) is vastly more convincing than HappyApple's argument (that she's controversial, and thus noteworthy, in Peru, but not here). Just as importantly, this article doesn't seem to exist on the Spanish Wikipedia, which contradicts my earlier assumption that an Anglocentric bias was the reason behind this VfD nomination. If this article shouldn't exist in the Spanish Wikipedia, it certainly shouldn't exist here. -Silence 04:01, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

• Neutral. Changing my opinion makes me hot. -Silence 05:41, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

• Comment I am disturbed that this article has no citations whatsoever. With a reference, it is easy to judge whether an article is verifiable. Without it, the burden of research is being inappropriately placed on the reader rather than the contributor. Now, a quick Google on "Lady Bardales" yields many hits, mostly in Spanish, so providing them shouldn't be all that hard. No vote yet. Dpbsmith (talk) 23:30, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. The impact that she had was not the same that with Monica Lewinsky, and she quickly dissapeared from public memory. I see no point in creating an article for this person. Messhermit 01:30, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable friend to Peruvian president. Could be an issue in upcoming elections, so why delete now? Oh, and our Monica Lewinsky article is really not all that long. --JJay 04:42, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
