[edit] Tilly Smith

Keep - Had not heard of Tilly Smith prior to seeing her listed in Wikipedia. Suggest you keep the article and include a link to the National Geographic article [1]. Teachers looking to see how they can have a positive effect on students may benefit. In my opinion, this is valuable and relevant information for social, psychological, humanitarian and educational reasons. Tilly Smith saved 100 lives. Who writing here has saved one? The act itself deserves an entry. Clyo Beck December 16, 2005

NN person, just a girl credited with saving nearly a hundred foreign tourists at Maikhao Beach. Unknown UserTalk 15:26, 16 December, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep - subject of international recognition and media coverage. ABC. BBC, National Geographic. the wub "?!" 10:48, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
• just a girl credited with saving nearly a hundred foreign tourists? Man, even if I hated tourists that much, I would not confess it on Wikipedia. Assuming that the nomination by a user who does not reveal his identity was in bad faith, I vote for speedy keep. --DrTorstenHenning 11:37, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, subject of major news coverage, also received award. If saving hundreds of people all at the same time isn't noteworthy, I don't know what is. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:41, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
• This is surely verging on a speedy keep based on silly (if not bad faith) nomination. --Last Malthusian 15:14, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Language is possibly a bit unclear there - I don't think it's a bad faith nomination, I do think it's rather silly. --Last Malthusian 15:21, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
• One of the criterion for a "speedy keep" is that the nomination is clear cut vandalism and/or WP:POINT. I do think that this is a borderline case. Speedy keep. Capitalistroadster 15:57, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. She is notable, she hit the headlines in the UK after the event and again when she got her award. Keep keep keep. Peeper 16:32, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
• Strong keep Ditto above Computerjoe 18:55, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. The next time a student complains about how useless geography is - I hope this article will be here to point to. Ifnord 20:27, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
