It is requested that a picture or pictures of this person be included in this article to improve its quality. Note: Wikipedia's non-free content use policy almost never permits the use of non-free images (such as promotional photos, press photos, screenshots, book covers and similar) to merely show what a living person looks like. Efforts should be made to take a free licensed photo during a public appearance, or obtaining a free content release of an existing photo instead.

[edit] Deleting this article benefits Hazelbaker, but not Wikipedia or the people who use it

Jill Hazelbaker is a notable public figure in recent news stories. I recommend a Google News search for her name, which turns up 32 recent entries where reporters are quoting her directly and identifying her as the chief "spokesperson" or "press secretary" of presidential candidate John McCain. If she was at one time a "mid-level" staffer, she is no longer at that level now. I believe that Wikipedia should keep its ongoing article of her record so far, embarassing as some parts of that record might be. Don't let this information be "vanished" from Wikipedia. betsythedevine 10:12, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

The AfD template clearly states that "Unregistered users should visit Talk:Jill Hazelbaker and leave a detailed rationale for deletion, otherwise this template will be removed." In fact, the unregistered user who nominated this article for deletion has not offered any rationale. betsythedevine 20:49, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
