Fails WP:BIO. Contested prod. MER-C 05:47, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Please remember, this is not a vote, but a debate. Do you have a point to make that might be fruitful to the argument? Alan.ca 20:21, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete: Verified only by subject's own website, which does not sufficiently assert notability. Heimstern Läufer 07:02, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
Please note, I added a citation for a book review for a book solely about the subject. Alan.ca
  • Delete per nom, don't see possiblity of expanding. SkierRMH,08:21, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
It can be expanded, but it will most likely be done by people with access to African resources. Alan.ca 20:21, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. The citations need to be properly added so they don't refer back to her Web site, but if she has really been written about in all of those places, she definitely meets WP:BIO. I'd rather tag and fix an article about a notable person instead of deleting it. Mus Musculus 16:42, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Notable [1] [2] [3], lots more. It's "Davies" though. - crz crztalk 16:51, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
    • Considerably cleaned up and moved. Note to closing sysop: earlier voters were googling the misspelled last name. - crz crztalk 16:57, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached

This isn't a vote, do you have anything to contribute to the debate? Alan.ca 20:21, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Per nom. Somitho 05:53, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
Delete per nom - nothing added/expanded to substanitate claims there. SkierRMH,08:21, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
  • You've already !voted. MER-C 10:43, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Per nom.--Hu12 14:33, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep. The article claims notability for her, and substantiates that. I'm not clear what it is that people here find non-notable about her, as few if any "voters" against have explained. A quick Google reveals ample grounds. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 14:40, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I found a book review in a Journal about a book written about the article subject. See the updated article. I think this brings the article out of deletion candidacy. Please also remember, this is an article about a foreign artist, these types of articles are seriously under represented in the English Wikipedia. Alan.ca 16:13, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - Seems to meet standards for WP:BIO; notability is claimed and established. Doc Tropics 16:50, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - The reference established notability as per WP:BIO. No reason to delete. Ccscott 20:44, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I believe she comes under the heading: 'Painters, sculptors, architects, engineers, and other professionals whose work is widely recognized (for better or worse) and who are likely to become a part of the enduring historical record of that field' in WP:BIO. --Publunch 15:56, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, seems to satisfy WP:BIO's standards. But why no mention of her running shoes? --DeLarge 18:40, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep as someone wrote a biography of her, that's a pretty clear demonstration of objective notability. Angus McLellan (Talk) 22:17, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
