[edit] Yara Lorenzo

Yara Lorenzo (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Non-notable person who gets nowhere near meeting WP:BIO. — Lincolnite (talk) 20:49, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

• Strong delete - autobiography by non-notable—G716 <^T·_C> 20:58, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
• Keep-As creator of the stub, I would like to defend this entry. This stub meets the basic requirements of notability and the organizations mentioned are well-known in South Florida community. The links are not working, but those could easily be edited with some help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.246.171.153 (talk) 23:31, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
• Delete as an autobiography by a non-notable person. Alexius08 is welcome to talk about his contributions. 00:19, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Secondary source was added on Lorenzo. Article from a National magazine. Links just need to be fixed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.246.171.153 (talk) 11:33, 2 June 2008 (UTC) Worked on the article's neutrality and added two more sources of national recognition.

• Delete, The Ford and White House Project sources do not IMHO meet WP:BIO#BASIC CRITERIA, depth of coverage is not substantial and there are not multiple independent sources that prove notability. I could not locate any other sources.--Captain-tucker (talk) 10:15, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
• Latina Style Magazine is another independent source, in which Lorenzo was featured. There is also another article by Diario Las Americas, which is based in South Florida and read throughout Latin America. (http://www.diariolasamericas.com/news.php?nid=40341). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.212.108.131 (talk) 13:26, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Comment, From what I can gather from a google translate of the diariolasamericas article it is just a passing note that Yara Lorenzo will meet with a congresswoman. This unfortunately does nothing to establish notability, and the latinastyle.com link does not appear to be a valid link, latinastyle.com does not appear to have a web server or even a valid DNS records [1]. --Captain-tucker (talk) 14:16, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

• That is surprising about Latina Style's server being down. It has been a prominent magazine for years. In any event that does not take away from the fact that Lorenzo was featured in an article, published in their magazine (the hit appears when her name is googled). In regards to the Diario piece, it does not only say that Lorenzo will meet with the Congresswoman--it says that Lorenzo will meet with the Congresswoman because she and others will be leading the Bicet Awareness Campaign, a community initiative to raise awareness for jailed Cuban dissident, Oscar Elias Bicet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.212.108.131 (talk) 14:28, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Update, I did located a version of the latinastyle.com via the Internet Archive [2], and again this is a minor mention consisting of "Yara Lorenzo, a legislative correspondent in the Office of Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, recalls an internship with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus during her freshman year in college as an important stepping stone." Again nothing that provides a level of WP:N.--Captain-tucker (talk) 14:39, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Comment, In fairness to Lorenzo, I am trying to pull up page two and three of the article, where there is further discussion on her work on the hill and a picture of her and His Holiness The Dali Lama. The comment you mention above is the introductory comment in the article, but there is more. With respect to the WP:N requirements, from my understanding, if a topic has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be notable and significant coverage is more than trivial but may be less than exclusive. True, the Latina style is not exclusive but certainly it is more than trivial: it is discussing her as one of very few Hispanic women working on Capitol Hill. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.212.108.131 (talk) 15:09, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
