Talk:Zoe O'Connell

[Untitled]
Regarding the notability flag on this page: "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." The sources so far provided that include full length articles with a significant degree of coverage of the subject include HuffPo, Guardian, Independent, Mirror, and Pink News. These are all published news sources, independent of both one another and the subject, and all of them have articles that primarily focus on Cllr O'Connell rather than referring to her in passing within another topic. The fact that she has had several full-length biographical pieces published in national media surely means that she clears the basic notability guidelines. As the guidance states, "Local politicians whose office would not ordinarily be considered notable may still clear the bar if they have received national or international press coverage, beyond the scope of what would ordinarily be expected for their role. For example, a small-town mayor or city councillor who was the first LGBT person ever elected to office in their country, or who emerged as a significant national spokesman for a political issue, may be considered notable on that basis." This would seem to be the category that Cllr O'Connell fits into, as someone with a local political profile who has had significant independent coverage (mainly for her family life) and has a regular national presence on policy issues. I am, as such, uncertain why the notability flag has been placed on this article. - JMB
