Vanity article, has already been deleted twice. Annie D (talk) 12:47, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, I originally closed this as delete but am letting it run some more in hopes of getting more input. Wizardman 22:17, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete this has BLP1E written all over it. Besides, good scores on a Malaysian high-school test probably wouldn't even make the Guinness book, and certainly not a general-interest encyclopedia. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 22:40, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, I see no encyclopedia value at all here. WP:BLP1E and WP:N both apply. Someone being in the news does not make them auto-notable. Wizardman 22:41, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:BLP1E. This person set an impressive record, but that lone record is their only claim to fame. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters(Broken clamshells• Otter chirpsHELP!) 22:48, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep per Skomorokh, good detective work. I'm convinced enough that this isn't BLP1E. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters(Broken clamshells• Otter chirpsHELP!) 23:59, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep As usual, the delete !votes appear irresponsibly under-researched. It is true that if the only non-trivial coverage of the subject in reliable sources is purely in the context of a single news event (i.e. the 17 A1's win), the subject fails WP:BLP1E. However, the Google News results Phil Bridger alluded to—which no-one subsequently seems to have bothered to check—reveal that coverage of Nur Amalina has extended beyond her 17 A1 feat: "Nor Amalina appointed education ambassador.", Asia Africa Intelligence Wire, 18-MAR-05; "Top scorer keeps `A' streak in England", New Straits Times, 03-18-2005; "Information Department Holds Patriotism Exhibition", Malaysian National News Agency, August 30, 2007;"Top scorer Nur Amalina meets her idol" New Straits Times, 04-14-2005; "Getting the best of a British education", New Straits Times, 10-02-2005.

  • Delete The sources adduced do not demonstrate sufficient notability to suggest this is not a BLP1E case. As such it should go. Eusebeus (talk) 00:19, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Notability of the subject is not in issue; the issue is whether the individual has received non-trivial coverage independent of the event, or whether the article should be moved and re-written to focus on the event. In neither case is deletion is an option consistent with our policies. Regards, Skomorokh 00:29, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Recreation of a deleted page. This is a WP:BIO vanity article. Many students may receive offers to study at Edinburgh University but that doesn't establish notability for them. Artene50 (talk) 09:35, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment Recreation of a deleted page and vanity are WP:PROBLEMS irrelevant to the notability of the subject. No-one is claiming that she is notable due to being offered to study at a university; she is notable because of the multiple instances - before and after her initial 17 A1 achievement - of non-trivial coverage. Could you please address your arguments to why this coverage is insufficient to establishing notability? Thanks, Skomorokh 14:36, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - There are certainly multiple reliable sources writing about her, so the key issue for notability is whether she is notable only for a single event. Note that the WP:BLP1E guidelines state Where a person is mentioned by name in a Wikipedia article about a larger subject, but essentially remains a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having an article on them. There is no larger subject here. She is the event. And furthermore, a review of the dates on the news articles are spread from 2005 through 2007 indicating sustained coverage that certainly rises above a one shot news item. Any other issues with the article can be dealth with through editting and are not grounds for deletion. -- Whpq (talk) 15:55, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
