 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   speedy keep. Since the nominator is not really advocating deletion I'm going to be bold and close this under WP:SK 1. I'm also going to remove the "notability" tag from this article as a personal editorial decision. Anybody who disagrees is welcome to renominate. Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:52, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Éliane Jeannin-Garreau

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Disputed prod. Concern was "Unreferenced biography (both external links are dead). Contains questionable unsourced claims (see Talk:Éliane Jeannin-Garreau."  Lord Vetinari  14:36, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * The fact that the external links are dead doesn't mean it's unreferenced. You can view the links' previous content via the Wayback Machine, here and here.  So it's a referenced biography.  Besides which, if you hadn't heard, there's a tool that helps you search for sources.  If you use it, you'll find things like this source, which is about the street that was named after this lady. The suggestion of "questionable claims" is absolutely right: this woman was certainly not "the right hand person" to the leader of the French Resistance!  These questionable claims should be removed, but you can do that using the normal editing process.  It's not necessary to use AfD. That she was an active Resistance Member, that she was captured and tortured by the Nazis, that she had a street named in her honour and she subsequently wrote a book about her experiences, are all well-attested and verifiable facts.  She seems to be of modest but genuine historical importance, sufficient to establish her notability in Wikipedia's terms.— S Marshall  T/C 16:47, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Just to clarify, I'm not determined to delete this page. I prodded it in line with its talk page comments, and I AfDed it in line with the dePRODders suggestion. My goal is merely to remove the notability tag. I'll let the community decide whether to remove the rest of the article with it. If the page is kept, then I'll concur. If the page is deleted, then I'll concur. I just want it dealt with once and for all, rather than stuck in notability limbo for another 3½ years.  Lord Vetinari  04:01, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Then why not just be BOLD and remove the notability tag? If someone still thinks the subject is not notable then they can take it to AFD. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 04:54, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Umm, because I don't know if it's notable so have no justification for removing the tag. I am a bit inclined against the article, though, so brought it here, rather than hoping someone will do it in the future. But I think we're getting a little off topic here.

 * Keep. Notable. Has a street named after her, played an important part in the Resistance, interacted with a lot of interesting people, and, most importantly, her Ombre parmi les ombres, Chronique d’une Résistance won the the prix d’Histoire Générale de l’Académie française in 1992. I therefore argue that she does indeed meet WP:SOLDIER under category 9. We need more articles on people like this. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:05, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
