[edit] Liz Murray

Nominate and delete as NN vanity and WP:NOT a crystal ball re forthcoming book. Changing to keep and withdrawing nomination after rewrite. Good job, ERcheck. - Sensor 01:00, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete as per nom. Keep the rewrite. Dlyons493 Talk 02:29, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable as an author. NOT a crystal ball since already published. See Amazon sales page. Also featured on a DVD called Homeless to Harvard - The Liz Murray Story. Even though I've never heard of her before, she seems noteworthy to me. —Brim 05:04, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable enough to warrant a Lifetime movie in 2003. Recently released autobiography - sales rank on Amazon probably enough to meet author criteria. Article could use some cleanup to make notability clearer. ERcheck 05:13, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Comment - she is notable enough to be one of the invited speakers for a conference in which Colin Powell is the keynote speaker. The article has been edited to reflect that her book has been published. ERcheck 05:31, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep ERcheck's rewrite. Over 12,000 hits for "Liz Murray" homeless see [1] so she seems notable enough for an article and meets WP:BIO. Capitalistroadster 05:34, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
• Weak keep per above. NSLE _{(Communicate!)} ^<Contribs> 05:47, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. Noted on article's discussion page that the article had previously been deleted for copyvio. The article that was the subject of this afd nomination was written in a tone that made it seem that it might have been copied from some publicity info. Did a major edit to consolidate the info and aim to a NPOV. ERcheck 06:03, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
• Weak keep per Brim, as currently written. Just zis Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] :: AfD? 14:24, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Preaky 03:56, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
