[edit] Pam Pinnock
No reliable sources cited to verify notability. This concern has not been addressed for more than a year, as indicated on the article's talk page. PROD removed by article's creator. JGHowes talk - 14:03, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
- Weak Keep Seems like a notable journalist, her book is covered in sources [1][2] plus her relationship with Mike Tyson. --neonwhite user page talk 15:12, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

- Keep Author is well known. Article has been place back to old version. Author has helped thousands of battered women through her lectures and given out free books to abused women. There's no reason to delete this article but perhaps help fix it. Hopefully so that other abused women will be able to find and read her progress. This author has spoken at several batter women shelters including mine in Atlanta and helped so many women. It would be a shame to delete it. For source[3][4][5] plus relationship with Mike Tyson[6] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.131.49.67 (talk) 23:35, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
- Delete. Hard to see how this woman is notable according to WP guidelines. The sources offered by the previous commentator fail WP:RS. The book in question is out from a micro-press that features only one other title on its home page. And "once dated Mike Tyson" has to be one of the lowest notability bars ever proposed, as it probably includes thousands of women. The anonymous dial-up who voted Keep has done extensive work on the article without managing to buttress notability. Qworty (talk) 14:17, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

- Delete per Qworty. The article has been around for a year and still has no sources. GoogleNews gives just 1 hit[7]. Being acquainted with a celebrity is not a sign of notability in and of itself. Fails WP:BIO. Nsk92 (talk) 01:40, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
- Delete, appears to be a case of an attempted transference of notability, but nothing to meet WP:BIO on the subject's own merits. Most of the article is afterthought pseudobiographical information which has no encyclopedic value ("After graduating from college she decided she wanted to travel, and see the world"... wow). --Kinu t/c 04:17, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
- Delete - Per Qworty. asenine say what? 07:53, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
- Delete. As there are no reliable sources cited, I am persuaded that the article does not comply with the verifiability policy. Stifle (talk) 19:03, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
