Cat Boyd

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article about an activist in the Scotland Independence movement. Speedy deletion was declined by another editor, though I can't see the significant coverage in reliable sources myself. She gets mentioned in a couple of news sources, while the redflag.org article is co-authored by her, not about her. Fails WP:GNG. Sionk (talk) 02:42, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete – Looking at the available third-party sources, either cited in the article or found through my own search of newspaper articles, I'm only seeing brief passing mentions, not enough to build a biography. (There are articles about her in the Daily Mail, attempting to discredit her, but my understanding is that the Mail is not viewed as a reliable source, per consensus at WP:RSN.)

 * Interesting! If I'd known there was a national press campaign against her, I may not have raised the AfD. The DM is a trashy rag but its still read by several million people. Sionk (talk) 13:54, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. She gets mentioned in passing in articles about Scottish independence, but there is no significant coverage.  I would prefer that we avoid sourcing The Daily Mail.  It's not a reliable source by any strict definition of the term, and we don't want to create a biography out of negative propaganda from a tabloid.  It's probably too soon for an article on her, though we may not have to wait long. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 12:50, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete She is an activists. She has not done anything notable. We should not have an article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:59, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
