Being the wife of a politian does not make herself notable and it had been a stub since Jan so I think it wont expand either Delete --Aranda56 00:10, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I expanded it.  My sources are listed on the article's talk page. Chick Bowen 01:02, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Being the wife of a provincial legislator wouldn't be important enough for a WP article, but I Googled and found this link which indicates coverage of her being arrested on a murder charge. Someone more knowledgeable than I should let us know verifiably whether this got major-media coverage there.  (It could just be a smear that a political foe once planted on some little news website, for all I know.)  I see Chick B added a sentence but no link on this point to the stub, while I was researching this too.  Help please.  Barno 01:09, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
 * She wasn't actually arrested--a complaint was registered. Your link above, Barno, was one of my sources; the other is listed on the article's talk page.  There are other similar items.  The only thing I figured out from my googling was that her husband is a former gangster and she's been suspected—but never convicted—of being involved.  That doesn't make her all that notable, but notable enough for a stub, I think.  If she gets busted for something real we can expand the stub. Chick Bowen 01:41, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks, CB. Based on that, I'm not sure about her facts' importance/verifiability being enough to merit a real bio article, and we're encouraged to make stubs into either real articles or merged sections of a parent article.  But I'm on the fence whether this can or should be expanded, so no vote.  Barno 01:55, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, just for the hell of it I looked her up on Lexis/Nexis. She hasn't been in trouble since 2004, but I added some more info and some sources I found there (can't link because it's a subscription service). Chick Bowen 01:59, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep In my view, this is capable of being extended. There are verifiable records of her arrest last year see . Capitalistroadster 01:57, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep :
 * 1) Being the wife of a politian does not make herself notable but she is a leader herself. It's all written on the page.
 * 2) it had been a stub since Jan so I think it wont expand either: Is the strangest piece of reasoning I have heard. We may have to delete a substantial chunk of wikipedia if all stubs which are unchanged from January 2005 are removed.
 * 3) Just because a page has not changed since January 2005 does not mean it will not expand in the future. Manik Raina 05:37, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep I have no problem with this article. Alf melmac 09:15, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. It seems many articles on notable figures remain in stub holding patterns until arriving at AfD.  Hall Monitor 18:55, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
