This is not a deletion  request  per se, but  I am  unable to  come to  a decision  and I  feel  the community  should reach  a consensus. The article has been speedy deleted four times, most recently this week. I have significantly cleaned this article up of all self promotion and puffery before tagging it (see history) but still feel that on checking the sources, the question of notability may not yet be entirely resolved. Some of the references appear to be duplicates, some do  not  do not contain the subject's name, while others basically repeat the same embedded YouTube movie. The article was written by the subject herself. Kudpung (talk) 06:12, 10 February 2011 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:02, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete essentially per first AfD discussion. Winning a youth award does not confer long term notability on its own. Planting trees is very noble, but again doesn't not confer notability. Neither does participating in a youth forum or being the great-grand daughter of someone. Who knows - this university student may become notable in the future but at the moment she isn't. It may even be time to salt this a it's been re-created (and subsequently deleted) 5 times now.
 * You've said what I would have liked to have said in my AfD rationale which I deliberately kept as neutral as possible. I didn't foresee that the subject would be so non notable that nobody would even bother to come and comment here. The blatant puffery, and the persistent  recreation practically proves that  this is a deliberate self promotional page by a MySpacer.(apologies for all the alliteration !)
