AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non notable actress/athlete, fails WP:ATHLETE, WP:NSPORT, and WP:GNG, article is poorly sourced and has primary sources. IronKnuckle (talk) 12:19, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Obviously meets WP:GNG. Nomination solely due to her apparent support for gun control.--Colapeninsula (talk) 13:15, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment Actually she was nominated for failing 3 wikipedia policies for notability. IronKnuckle (talk) 13:18, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
 * How does someone with detailed coverage in multiple articles in reliable sources fail WP:GNG? --Colapeninsula (talk) 13:20, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
 * How does she pass WP:ATHLETE WP:NSPORT? IronKnuckle (talk) 13:25, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment She only needs to pass one notability criteria for inclusion. Please check WP:BEFORE and try not to use AfD for WP:POVPUSH. Mass nominations only add to the AfD backlog we have. Funny  Pika! 14:09, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I dont believe she passes any of them, which is why I nominated this article for deletion, no need for unnecessary pages like this on wikipedia. BTW Funny, please assume good faith. IronKnuckle (talk) 14:19, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Please read WP:COMPETENCE before using WP:AGF. Keep Passes WP:GNG based on the BBC reference and the sources Colapeninsula previously found. Funny  Pika! 17:05, 22 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep - the sources provided on the article plus the ones presented by Colapeninsula above are more than enough to satisfy the general notability guideline, regardless of whether she meets any specific guidelines or not. ★ Bald Zebra ★ talk 15:28, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - a [//www.google.com/search?q=%22Amy+Purdy%22&tbm=nws&tbs=ar:1 simple news search] reveals a ton of hits. I would challenge the nominator to go through the first 20 of these and explain in detail why each and every one is not reliable or otherwise cannot be used to establish notability.
