Alice Miles

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Alice Miles is notable really only for one thing, and that's the parentage of her child (a jug-eared BBC news presenter). The case is, I believe, subject to a court injunction, and cannot be reported.

So what then is so notable about her? Not a lot, I say. Parrot of Doom 20:03, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep Her award as a columnist in 2007 suggests Alice Miles is prominent enough for a Wikipedia article. Articles being stuck at the stub stage is not a reason for deletion - yet. Philip Cross (talk) 08:31, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep: Article is a stub but this is not a reason for deletion. - Ret.Prof (talk) 01:46, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Who said it was? Does winning some obscure award make one notable? Parrot of Doom 07:33, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
 * The What the Papers Say Awards were quite prominent in the UK. Philip Cross (talk) 08:01, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't doubt that the awards may be notable, but being a recipient of an industry award does not confer notability. I'm pretty certain that the only reason this article exists is because of its subject's relationship to Andrew Marr, and that isn't reported in any reliable sources, due to a gagging order.

 * Weak Keep - Seems as though she could scrape WP:GNG but also, she has an extensive body of work in the Times and Evening Standard with hundreds of articles. Surely that should count towards notability? PanydThe muffin is not subtle 12:13, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep' I think an extresively published columnist with a major industry award meets WP:GNG. IMarksman00 (talk) 15:50, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
