[edit] Renate Thyssen-Henne

Profiling article, mainly POV and yellow press style. Related article in de-wiki is also requested for deletion. --EvaK 13:09, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Not notable. DarthVader 13:33, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. -- Shizane ^talk_contribs 13:46, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
• Comment, one of those famous-for-being-famous celebs, but should certainly not be deleted (or even nom'd) before the results of the AFD on the German version is in. Angus McLellan (Talk) 14:58, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I don't see why the outcome of Germany's vote needs to influence our decision here. If they decide to keep it, they can keep it. If we decide to delete it, we can delete it, no? Kafziel 15:05, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as subject does not meet WP:BIO and this can be done independently and regardless of what the Deutsch wiki folks wish to do. Regionalizations of wiki's don't necessarily need to be in lockstep.--Isotope23 17:16, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. For my money, I'm quite comfy with differing national Wikis having different ideas as to who is notable or not. RGTraynor 17:56, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
• "Yellow press style" ([supermarket] tabloid style these days) is not grounds for deletion and NPOV failures we fix. Famous for being famous: Google News has two hits for the subject, mentioned on the ARD Brisant site, and the ZDF and TZ ones. Bunte thinks she is an "A-liste" celebrity, she wrote in Bild, appeared in a third rate fundraiser film, and did/does all the other things that dreadful celebs do, including the big hair and gravity-defying cosmetic surgery. Regretably notable, belief to the contrary being anglocentrism or elitism or both (and systemic bias in any case). Far more people know who this woman is than have heard of Larry Wall or Jimbo Wales. For the readers of Bild and Bunte everywhere, I vote keep. Angus McLellan (Talk) 19:12, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep As per Angus McClellan. The article also claims that she is a notable businesswoman. While mentions in the English speaking media are less frequent she is mentioned in this article in the Evening Standard. [1] Capitalistroadster 20:03, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
• Comment the nominator of the AFD for de:Renate_Thyssen-Henne has withdrawn the nomination. Angus McLellan (Talk) 00:27, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep (Ugh) Horrible article, but way above notability threshold as per German discussion. ~ trialsanderrors 05:41, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - notable businesswoman and philanthropist, relative of even more important ones, founded several companies, took over a restaurant chain, founded a charity ... that's all pretty notable. AnonEMouse ^(squeak) 12:51, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - one person's view of "Yellow Press Style" should not be ground for deletion of articles. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wabuk (talk • contribs) .
• Keep - Women in these positions are rare --Sputnik(.de) 00:07, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
