Bebe Bryans

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

Appears to not satisfy notability criteria. A few simple Google searches don't turn up any evidence to support the claims made. Mrh30 (talk) 12:46, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep (See my comment below) Weak Delete - AS IS, the article fails because of the inclusion of all the extraneous and unsourced material (movie star, cattle dogs, etc.). However, after repairing the link to her bio at the University of Wisconsin, I found that Bryans may have significant coaching experience at the international level. I am not certain whether there is enough there to put her over the top on WP:BIO criteria, but the article would need to be gutted and rewritten emphasizing only her professional career. For the moment, though, it's an obvious no-go. —  Cactus Writer |   needles  13:20, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'm unsure about it - hence why I want to get some more opinions. It's clearly been vandalised at the moment, but she's borderline anyway for inclusion. Mrh30 (talk) 13:22, 22 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment - I am striking my previous delete. The apparent problems in the article were caused by previous vandalism, which has now been removed. I've also added information with references which shows Bryans as a significant coach in the sport of rowing with success at both national and international levels. She passes notability for WP:ATHLETE. — Cactus Writer |   needles  14:08, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - seeing the result of your edits, I'm inclined to agree. Good job cleaning the article up and saving it from the bin! Mrh30 (talk) 14:14, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for mentioning that vandalism - I should have realized there was an initial problem there. Perhaps you want to simply withdraw your nomination here. That way we can close the afd discussion. — Cactus Writer |   needles  14:25, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
