Non-notable minor development executive  DGG ( talk ) 05:09, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect to BEDROC, the organization she leads (I'm not sure if this is appropriate; people don't lead organizations for a lifetime). Not quite enough about her to meet notability requirements.  The first reference doesn't mention her name. Ubelowme (talk) 21:13, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. The article in The Hindu, cited in the WP article, gives considerable coverage to George personally, and not just to the organization.  The Hindu is a major newspaper, and this article alone does much to establish notability.  The Japan Times article, also cited in the WP article, doesn't go much into her personal history, but goes enough into her views and opinions to push her closer to the notability threshhold.  Searches of Google News and Google News Archives for ("annie george" bedroc) and for ("annie george" tsunami) didn't turn up any other evidence of independent in-depth coverage; indeed, they didn't turn up the Japan Times article, which is worrisome.  I suspect that there's Tamil-language coverage that I've got no way of finding, too.  I'd say that between the two articles we've got, and the indications that my searches could have missed additional coverage, there should be a presumption of notability.

 * Weak delete - I read over the same sources, but I don't see how those sources cover her significantly.  We only have bare-bones material about her. It depends on how one interprets "sources address the subject directly in detail, so no original research is needed ... more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material."  The sources cited do address her directly, but details about her life are missing.  The articles address her work, with only passing or trivial information about her.

 * Delete - Of the given sources; one does not mention the subject, and the other two are based entirely on interviews with the subject. Interviews are primary sources and (according to WP:BIO) primary sources cannot be used to establish notability. I agree with Ammodramus that there may be additional sources which we are not seeing, but without them we cannot have a WP:BLP. If the content gets merged to BEDROC, the primary material can of course be used to source the content. --Tgeairn (talk) 20:49, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:ANYBIO. As Tgeairn has noted, Annie George probably does not even meet WP:BASIC.--Joshuaism (talk) 20:54, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
