The result was   delete. There are sources; however, the argument that the sources do not sufficiently show notability is stronger. King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 21:12, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Angela Russell
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Delete as a non-notable local journalist. She doesn't appear in any sources outside of a couple of local newspapers, nothing significant to establish notability. Tavix | Talk  01:02, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep AfD is not cleanup. Tony's simple argument from the last AfD was persuasive enough. Page did lack independent coverage; I added a link sufficient to pass that bar. Notable, but local, news celebrity. Page needs love. BusterD (talk) 13:33, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I never requested cleanup, I requested deletion because as a local news anchor I'm not seeing the notability. Tavix | Talk  16:24, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I've performed the cleanup mentioned and added substantial independent coverage links to demonstrate subject has been "local news anchor" for network affiliates in three of the country's largest markets. To me, that's sufficient notability, though I'll concede I don't see a policy I can quote. Still looking. Don't suppose I can use the subject's own classmates.com or twitter pages as an RS...

 * Quote from previous closing administrator's statement: "The deletion people seem to be setting the bar for notability too high; people with regional notability can still have encyclopedic articles on them, no matter how uninteresting it may be to people from elsewhere."--originally written by User:Cyde.

 * Delete. She is a non-notable reporter for local affiliates. Yes, she was in big markets, but that doesn't confer notability. Trivial mentions in local media (she attended this luncheon or rode on that float) don't make her notable. No awards listed. She simply does her job. Her job happens to be on TV, that makes her visible, not notable. Niteshift36 (talk) 13:46, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete. No apparent evidence of notability per WP:BIO. —Scheinwerfermann T&middot;C 16:22, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep- The sources in the article show the notability threshold has been adequately met. Umbralcorax (talk) 16:52, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - The sources in the article show no such notability. Popularity does not imply notability, and please review BIO notes on the subject. —Scheinwerfermann T&middot;C 20:45, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete nn local TV journalist. Every journalist is in the news, for obvious reasons. JJL (talk) 16:32, 20 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete per directly above, how is she particuarly more notable than the thousands of other news anchors out there? From the sources, she's not particuarly notable for doing anything extraordinary in her profession than the usual stuff that her job requires. Nja 247 16:11, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
