Short Version: Before the "Notoriety of Audrey E. Smith" is put up, please note: Smith's has done (and is doing) such notable things so much so that she has met with the worlds most powerful man (President of the United States of American) and the world most powerful woman Oprah Winfrey - (As she was a GUEST on the show - Season 22, Episode 60) You see this is NOTABLE. Hanging around on wikipedia all day deleting people's other work does NOT mean you are notable. So before you submit this article for speedy deletion, This person's REAL LIFE activities have led her to meet with challenge you to your own notoriety.
Longer Version:
If you have
1. Won an national award and met the president, first lady, Vice President (any many others) of the United States (Worlds most powerful man)
AND
2. Been a guest on Oprah Winfrey Show, the world's most influential woman. Oprah has asked, with anticipation, when Smith's book is coming out and is looking forward to it.
then you can more justly judge if someone is notable or not.
If you are 1. Some idiot on wikipedia with no job, no life, who just goes around deleting stuff on wikipedia all day, this does not mean you are notable. If you are have done more notable things, please post it in this DISCUSSION FIRST, and let's see. I have read in detail Wikipedia's entire "notability" requirements, and this person meets with it.
Wonder when the last wikipedia nerd who sits around all day here has been asked to meet with the presidency of the USA or been asked to be a guest on the Oprah Winfrey show... I know! I know! NEVER! This is good quality unbiased content, well sited, well organized. It's good content, let it stay, it's not hurting or helping anyone. She's published several REAL LIFE articles (you know, published - non wikipedia content), newspapers, etc).
I realize that there is a lot of extra-curricular activities that you may think are not really outstanding, in and of themselves. But you see it's a compilation of these activities that Oprah was interested in, so much so that they asked her on the show.
How is it possible that someone who hasn't a single article published, hasn't met anyone famous, hasn't worked for anyone famous, hasn't been on national TV, hasn't met any president, has their own wikipedia page on them, yet deletes those who have had all these things? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eckre (talk • contribs) 20:18, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
Winfrey was called "arguably the World's most powerful woman" by CNN and Time.com[60], "arguably the most influential woman in the World" by the American Spectator[61], "one of the 100 people who most influenced the 20th Century" and "one of the most influential people" of 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 by Time. Winfrey is the only person in the World to have made all five lists.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Notability
- Been a GUEST on Oprah (not an audience member but a featured guest on for about 10% of the show) - Asked by Oprah when her next book is coming out because they liked her so much - Has published Articles in REAL LIFE (Real newspapers, you know Not wikipedia) - Been awarded NATIONAL awards in which she's met President Clinton, And wife and Al Gore, and, etc, etc, etc.
These are four things that are arguable notable - doing such notable things so much so that you meet the worlds most powerful man (President of the United States of American) and the world most powerful woman Oprah Winfrey, this is NOTABLE.
Hanging out on Wikipedia a lot does NOT mean you are notable and deserve a page more so than someone who actually had done something real in their life
