Nominating per outcome of discussion here.

Original reason: ''This is one of ten bios created from a CNN award for "a normal person, they're doing a normal job," to quote CNN itself. Point is, this is WP:ONEEVENT and also a good example of how widespread coverage in a national publication can still occasionally not be an indication of notability. In fact, I think that this set of articles is the textbook definition of BLP1E.

Of course what these individuals are doing is great, but it can be sufficiently covered in an article about the CNN Heroes series/award. We don't need new BLPs to do that either.''

I'm nominating those that don't have coverage outside of the CNN related coverage. A few entries have additional references unrelated to the BLP1E so I am not nominating those. This particular nom only applies to this article. Shadowjams (talk) 17:58, 19 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Expand CNN Heroes with more referenced content from reliable sources. If the 2011 section there gets too big, then it can be split off to CNN Heroes 2011. If any one person in that new split-off list gets more notable beyond BLP1E, then it can be split off to its own article, but a WP:Walled garden of mini-stubs like these should for now be corralled back into the one article.

 * Agree completely. This articulates much better what I've been thinking on the topic than I was able to communicate. Shadowjams (talk) 18:13, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
