Amanda Carpenter

 * — (View AfD)

non notable conservative pundit/journalist; has written one book and been the subject of a minor campus squabble, but basically she is an assistant editor at a only somewhat notable publication. Previous AFD a year ago resulted in a redirect, but article was immediately recreated. Brianyoumans 01:16, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Gosh darn it, could someone fix this? I can never get the whole "afdx" thing to work properly. --Brianyoumans 01:21, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Done. Next time you want to nominate a previously-nominated article, user Template:afdx. NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 01:22, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Er, correction: read Template talk:afdx to learn how to use it properly. NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 18:53, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as she doesn't appear to meet WP:BIO. Not much in terms of coverage in reliable sources. NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 01:26, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Verifiable (they did write a book). 66.82.9.88 01:50, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, fails WP:V / WP:BIO. Would reassess if worked on.  Dei zio  talk 02:10, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Appears to fail WP:BIO and WP:V. --Core desat  03:26, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. MER-C 04:06, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete and SALT. Didn't think we'd notice that the article had already been moved to userspace before, eh?  Maddy626 08:55, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - only localized coverage, doesn't meet WP:BIO. SkierRMH 10:36, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - NN. Barnabypage 14:35, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
 * keep if someone will work on this artical and make it better — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oo7565 (talk • contribs)

I don't know enough to say "keep" or "delete", but I'd like to point out that there is another, better-known Amanda Carpenter, a romance novelist. So maybe if this is kept, it should be renamed to "Amanda B. Carpenter" with a redirect page from "Amanda Carpenter" set up. OinkOink 23:09, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong keep as an author of a book on Regenery Publishing, a major conservative publishing house. --badlydrawnjeff talk 05:22, 24 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete - Fails notability checks: obscure apprentice journalist, author of only one book and that from a minor publisher which owns the magazine whe works for (I assume you meant Regnery, Badly-drawn-Jeff?). If the book had not flopped, a case might be made for retention. -- Orange Mike 21:28, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I did, I simply can't spell. The publishing world may very well have an issue with you calling Regnery "minor." --badlydrawnjeff talk 13:32, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Didn't mean to tweak ya, badly-spelt-Jef; I'm impefect myself! As far as "the publishing world": Regnery has never had much 'street cred' outside the circles of the ultra-conservative community; their sales tend to be mostly to conservative book outlets and clubs, etc. Most are aware of their past history of publishing unlabelled CIA material during the Cold War, their ties with the John Birch Society, and their record of dubiety towards such liberal enterprises as the Nuremberg Trials (only fitting for a firm founded by the son of the founder of the America First Committee). And of course, Wisconsin still remembers Al Regnery's bizarre run for Dane County district attorney against our now-governor, and his record as the "Have You Slugged Your Kid Today?" head of the Office of Juvenile Justice. -- Orange Mike 23:45, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I never said "well-respected," after all. d;-) --badlydrawnjeff talk 03:28, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-noteable. Davidpdx 12:16, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
