 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Everything here is a mere notice, mostly from obvious press releases and youtube. The only possible basis for notability is the "'Most Influential Women in Business' by the San Francisco Business Times" award for several years, I do not consider it a notable enough award to establish notability on its own.

 * Delete as I honestly found nothing more than this and that's not surprising as her positions are simply board and committee positions. Notifying taggers and .  SwisterTwister   talk  03:05, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

We have far too few women leaders as it is. Keep and improve — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.5.100.51 (talk) 16:51, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

I wrote this because Alison Davis is the most influential women we have in California working on increasing the number of women on boards (Women 2020) and because she is a role model for other women seeking to join major corporate boards. Please help me make this less of a resume, and more of what it is intended to be. But don't delete please.

 * Weak delete because, although Davis clearly has a fan in Mark Calvey at the San Fransisco Business Times, even he is unable to elicit anything more than a list of recent postings to company boards, which he often repeats. Being one of 150 Most Influential Women in Bay Area business is commendable, but doesn't really single out Davis for special consideration. I'm worried that this Wikipedia article does not provide any sources for the personal biographical info and suggests it is written by somebody close to the subject.

 * Comment If this article get deleted, but this one about John Abdo stays, there's something rotten on Wikipedia! --MurderByDeadcopy"bang!" 16:42, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Not enough significant coverage is RS to pass GNG or BASIC. As mentioned by thelack of sourcing for the biographical details is a problem.  J bh  Talk  18:37, 1 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep Alison Davis is as notable as John Abdo, and since Wikipedia is keeping John Abdo (my best guess is because that article was started by someone who is part of the Wikipedia cabal), I have to in good conscience recommend keep. But then everyone here knows that terms like "notable" is an evasive term that can be used for or against anything at whim! Ah, well, the cabal always wins and the new editor leaves... soured by their experiences here at Wikipedia. --MurderByDeletionism"bang!" 17:55, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete insufficient coverage in reliable sources. Vanamonde93 (talk) 10:36, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - WP:OSE is not a valid argument in this instance. And the lament "and the new editor leaves... soured by their experiences here at Wikipedia." is never a valid rationale in these decisions. Each article should be evaluated on its own merits, without concern for puerile decisions of involved editors. 's analysis is spot on.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:08, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
