Brooklyn Kerlin

Brooklyn Kerlin was the Flag Bearer last week at the opening of the 2012 Olympics for the Individual Olympic Participants. Often, a flag bearer has "earned" his wikipedia-page long before the opening ceremony by virtue of his sports career in the past. For this specific person however it is fully unclear why she had the flag, she represented the people involved in the organization of the Games, and I could not find any notable results from her. I don't think that only bearing the flag at the Games is an a priori reason for notability... L.tak (talk) 14:54, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete She's a student volunteering at the Olympics who was picked to carry the flag. Since the nominated article doesn't explain much, this gives some more info on who she is and why she was chosen (it's from an official Olympics site, so it's not a source for proving notability). Seems no lasting notability, just a small role in one event. --Colapeninsula (talk) 15:03, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - Flag bearers aren't notable for being flag bearers, they should be notable for their other achievements. Mattlore (talk) 06:03, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Independent Olympic Athletes (or the 2012 article), as a plausable search-term.  Lugnuts  (talk) 16:33, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - her presence and activity in being chosen for the honour of carrying the flag has received sufficient coverage in reliable sources to qualify for notability — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.59.118.104 (talk) 09:17, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Independent Olympic Athletes at the 2012 Summer Olympics where her name appears. We don't have enough for an article. Pichpich (talk) 22:37, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
