Cherry Boone's claim(s) to fame are 1) she is the daughter of singer Pat Boone and sang backup at some of his 1970s concerts and 2) she was a friend of Karen Carpenter and interviewed after Carpenter's death. Non-notable. FinFangFoom (talk) 17:51, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep A Google News search shows 50+ media mentions from 1972-2002, including a good bit about her own struggle with Anorexia Nervosa. Jclemens (talk) 18:23, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep as a member of The Boones, which recorded several albums in the mid-70s. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  18:32, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep on the basis of significant coverage in multiple reliable sources independent of the subject, not limited to Chicago Tribune, St. Petersberg Times, Philadelphia Enquirer, Kingman Daily Miner, and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. There are five more pages of Google News results, if you want me to continue. I question whether the nominator did any research before initiating this discussion. the skomorokh  20:07, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your wikiconcern. I question whether a family member of an entertainer (which is in and of itself non-notable per wikipedia guidelines) whose sole claim to fame is the fact that she suffered from anorexia at one time is worthy of an article (per WP:ONEEVENT). Feel free to differ. FinFangFoom (talk) 23:37, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I think you've confused notability with importance. The former is determined by coverage in reliable sources; the latter is irrelevant. Notability. Sincerely, the skomorokh  12:17, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
