Anna Wohlin

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Her only claim to fame seems to be that she was the girlfriend of Brian Jones and having written two books about him (neither of which appear to be very notable). - Icewedge (talk) 05:09, 15 August 2008 (UTC)


 * There is a lot of trivial coverage about her on google, but I can't see anything substantial except for the one Independent article in the references. Redirect to Brian Jones — redirects are cheap, and it could be a plausible search term. -- Amalthea Talk 21:10, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Weak Keep First of all, I must point out that I started the article, and this week keep should be read with that in mind. Icewedge and Amalthea argue a very strong case. With greatest respect to Ms Wohlin, I agree she is not very notable. As for references, (again with greatest respect to her) no doubt she would appear but as a footnote character in works on the Rolling Stones, and only some of these would be reliable references.

I guess the point of principle here is whether Wikipedia should have articles for very famous peoples' girlfriends (or boyfriends), where notability is completely contingent on the famous person. (I'd say yes, but there are rules.)

Perhaps there are (admittedly somewhat ghoulish) differences, in that she was witness to Jones' death, and that she made claims that his death was not by misadventure. Admittedly any notability arising from this would again be an epiphenomenon of Jones and his passing. In summary, my (no doubt biased) opinion is that the subject of the article is at best marginally notable, but notable nevertheless. --Shirt58 (talk) 10:39, 17 August 2008 (UTC). See below for reasons why this weak keep striked.

 * Delete, although as one of the better-known groupies of her era a redirect to Brian Jones is OK by me. But she isn't notable herself. --Dhartung | Talk 06:42, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:GNG. Topic does have one reliable, independent source. One is not enough - the article fails the "significant coverage" test of notability. While it could be argued that most or all reliable sources on Brian Jones would include significant coverage of article topic, the article has none of these notional references.  Were they included, the topic may still fail notability per WP:People, most relevantly WP:People#Invalid Criteria--Shirt58 (talk) 10:16, 22 August 2008 (UTC) (who nevertheless prefers Icewedge, Amalthea, and Dhartung opinions that a redirect would be the best outcome.)
 * Delete. Googled "Anna Wohlin" and got below 5000 hits. In conjunction with the above claim of a single sourced article, I find her to be non-notable. CapnZapp (talk) 12:44, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
