Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mary Ann Wintkowski

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus, however I have renamed it. The confusion generated by the misspelling has tainted this AfD, making large parts of it moot (given the new references found with the correct name). Daniel Bryant 01:49, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mary Ann Wintkowski

Mary_Ann_Wintkowski (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

There is no assertion of notability except except to say that she "influenced" a TV show, which is nothing unique. There are just about no external reviews of this subject, and a search reveals very little about this subject. On concern here is Wikipedia:Attribution and Wikipedia:Notability. This subject seems very obscure (not very well known) to be posted in an encyclopedia. --Snooziums 20:22, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

NOTE: Snooziums may be listing these as a response to another AFD, rather than on their particular merit or lack thereof. Snooziums, have you read WP:POINT?

  • Delete, per my nomination. --Snooziums 20:22, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
  • This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 10:31, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:A, no sources and WP:N, no proof of notability AlfPhotoman 15:41, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Regardless of whether the nom is trying to prove a point, s/he is right, the article doesn't assert any notability. --Dennisthe2 20:36, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
    • Keep and clean up, with a side order of Move to Mary Ann Winkowski per the name correction below. Use that name on a ghits test and you get just over 2500 hits - and a fair number of them are news articles. --Dennisthe2 18:49, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
  • delete absolutely no attempt to show notability. I thank Snooziums for identifying dubious articles that are objectively worth deletion, regardless of the motives for doing so. . DGG 00:30, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Spell name correctly and keep. Part of the problem here is that this person's name apparently is Mary Ann Winkowski not "Mary Ann WinTkowski." The show is reportedly based on her life & she's included in the show's offical website. See: http://www.maryannghostbuster.com/html/home2.html http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8423881/ (note spelling error in photo caption!), http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/14835/real_ghost_whisperer_lives_in_ohio.html (note spelling error in article!) http://www.wolfmanproductions.com/whisperer.html. Also would support a merge into the "Ghost Whisperer" article. Crypticfirefly 04:27, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
    • Thanks for the correction. I for one have changed my mind accordingly. Bunches o' ghits for this. Note, though, there's not much - but it's something. --Dennisthe2 18:49, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and rename per Crypticfirefly. The correct spelling of the name seems to produce a number of sources to establish notability. -- Black Falcon 17:02, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
