Doesn't meet notability. If she does, this article needs expanding. Nswix (talk) 00:25, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep She's covered by feature stories in the Toronto Star, Washington Post and the Independent. That's enough for GNG.Oaktree b (talk) 00:38, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Authors and Women. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 06:14, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep due to significant coverage in reliable sources. pburka (talk) 13:31, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep existing article is fine as-is for proving notability but there does seem to be more to include. Like the BOOKEND: I Can Has Meme Job?, a feature piece on her. And New Perspectives in Critical Data Studies seems to have non-trivial sourcing about her. Skynxnex (talk) 20:52, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep - Article's subject meets WP:GNG and WP:BASIC with just the sources already present in the article at the time of nomination to AfD, I'm really not sure how the article's subject "doesn't meet notability", because there is significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the subject (i.e., WP:GNG). This article needs expanding is not something that is solved by deletion. - Aoidh (talk) 06:56, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete. I'll dissent. The coverage is mostly about her job, not herself, and what's about herself is based on WP:INTERVIEWs. I don't think WP:NBIO is met. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 11:27, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
 * But it's a job she invented. If we were to write an article about the position of meme librarian it would be about Amanda Brennan. pburka (talk) 15:44, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment - secondary coverage of her career supports her notability as it would for any subject of a BLP, per WP:BASIC. In the article, the Toronto Star and Independent sources are reprints of the Washington Post source, although it includes secondary content about her education and career development. She is also quoted for her expertise by Nieman Lab (2017), The New York Times (2017), NPR (2020), Vox (2021), and NBC (2022, "Tumblr’s former meme librarian, who now tracks internet macrotrends as a trend expert for XX Artists, a talent agency with clients like Google and YouTube"), and described as "meme librarian and internet culture expert" by WBUR (2021). I plan to search the WP Library and look more closely at GBooks results before !voting. Beccaynr (talk) 04:30, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:BASIC - there is also coverage in Life on the Meme Council: Meet the Internet’s Gatekeepers (NYT, 2017), some coverage of her education and career background in Bookend: I Can Has Meme Job? (American Libraries, 2016), coverage of her work at Tumblr in addition to an interview based on her expertise in Tumblr's 'Meme Librarian' Predicts What We'll Love in 2018 (Inverse 2017), and more sources quoting her for her expertise, e.g. NYT, 2021, "said Amanda Brennan, senior director of trends and the meme librarian at XX Artists, a social media agency"), NYT, 2021, Business Insider, 2022, "according to Amanda Brennan, a meme librarian and senior director of trends at XX Artists."), and Insider, 2020. She has secondary evaluation/commentary from sources over time when they describe her as an expert and seek her expertise, and it appears that this article can be further developed based on available sources that include biographical and career coverage. Beccaynr (talk) 18:26, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - Not all of the sources here establish her notability, but her notability as meme librarian is well supported by the scope and breadth of the in-depth sources that are unequivocally about her and her role. Alansohn (talk) 21:41, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
