 * – ( View AfD View log )

Not notable barely any coverage, all a google search brings up are her social networking profiles.A smattering of mentions in smaller regional papers and little recently. Also as seen here the article seems to have been created as little more than an advert for the subject. RafikiSykes (talk) 14:05, 6 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment - Some background: This piece was started in 2009 by someone close to the subject who was pretty clearly not familiar with writing for WP with respect to sourcing rules or style. For whatever reason it made it through the front gate before recently being stubbed out as a copy vio of the subject's website. There was an attempt to speedy the stub, which was declined, and then the stub was taken to AfD. No opinion as to notability at this moment, searching...

 * Self-claim of pioneering the breed internationally: In addition to sending the first longhorns to Africa, it is claimed, "Charlene also introduced the first Texas Longhorns to New Zealand, Australia, and Venezuela." There's a claim to notability to be made here. Completely unsourced, obviously... Carrite (talk) 16:34, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
 * She is the recipient of the FIRST PRESIDENTIAL AWARD of the Texas Longhorn Breeders Association of America, whatever that is... Carrite (talk) 16:39, 6 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete - I'm just not finding independent coverage of the individual. She's clearly a notable figure in the world of longhorn breeding, but this is not Cattlepedia. Fails the WP General Notability Guideline. Carrite (talk) 16:43, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:RS, WP:PEOPLE. The fact that her receipt of a Presidential Award was the last item mentioned in the news story does not give me confidence that this was in fact a hugely noteworthy event.   Rich wales (talk · contribs) 06:25, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - No sources were found on Yahoo either. SwisterTwister   talk  21:03, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per all of the above. Unless we want an article on every animal breeding farm on the planet, this one fails.     Montanabw (talk) 23:06, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
