Article on a young girl who is not notable. Article is composed mostly of trivia- hobbies, ambitions etc- but there's little to no verifiable biographical information. Finally, though AfD is not for cleanup, the article reads more like a press release than an encyclopaedia entry. She's a good speller, but I don't think that makes her notable.

 * Merge to 83rd Scripps National Spelling Bee, per WP:ONEEVENT. --BorgQueen (talk) 02:28, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge per BorqQueen.  Grsz 11  02:34, 6 June 2010 (UTC) Redirect per Courcelles.  Grsz  11  02:42, 6 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Redirect to List of Scripps National Spelling Bee champions. No notability outside of this single event, and so we shouldn't have an article on her. --Courcelles (talk) 02:38, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Several independent articles exist on prior spelling bee winners Katie Kerwin McCrimmon, Jacques Bailly, Jody-Anne Maxwell and this is the oldest and the largest event of its kind in the world.--Wikireader41 (talk) 02:39, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Then you are welcome to nominate them if you feel they do not meet the notability criteria. However, simply because other stuff exists does not make another similar article appropriate.  Grsz 11  02:41, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I nominated Katie Kerwin McCrimmon because that article is in an appalling state for a BLP. The rest are at least sourced, so I won't nominate them for now because I don't want to look like I'm trying to prove a point. HJ Mitchell  &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?   02:55, 6 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep per WP:ANYBIO this person has won a major international competition.--Wikireader41 (talk) 03:42, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * International competition? HJ Mitchell  &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?   17:57, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * "Over the years, the competition has been opened to contestants from Canada, Mexico, Jamaica, New Zealand, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Ghana, Germany, South Korea, and the Bahamas." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.203.189.31 (talk) 10:01, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete and redirect to List of Scripps National Spelling Bee champions. Apart from winning the competition I don't think there is any additional encyclopaedic information available about the individual on which an encyclopaedia article could be based and so in my mind WP:BLP1E applies. I would generally put this article in the same category as the eleven which were deleted following Articles for deletion/Sai R. Gunturi. Guest9999 (talk) 04:06, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to list - not notable, but worthy of a redirect to her presence in WP. PamD (talk) 07:35, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete not notable. Spelling Bees are about as academically relevant as trivia competitions etc. Memorise loads of obscure stuff, at a far lower level than international science/maths Olympiad representatives, which requires hard-core problem solving. Secondly, we don't generally include winners of youth-level competitions of anything, exams, sport etc  YellowMonkey  ( vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll )  00:54, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete per the consensus policy apparently developed last year in Articles for deletion/Sai R. Gunturi. She would still be listed in the List of Scripps National Spelling Bee champions and discussed in the 83rd Scripps National Spelling Bee article.  Dlduncan2 (talk) 22:14, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
