The result was keep. There seems to be a consensus that the subjects barely scrapes our notability guidelines and I won't pursue further..... (non-admin closure) &#x222F; WBG converse 11:41, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

Christina Lewis

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I'm not seeing any reliable non-corp-spam independent source that establishes how she passes WP:ANYBIO or WP:GNG.A lot of un-sourced/ill-sourced advertisement and a lot of talks about her notable father and relatives.Has been subject to some non-notable recognitions/awards. &#x222F; WBG converse 12:36, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep or (second choice) Merge with Reginald F. Lewis. Try a news search for "Christina Lewis ASC" and "Christina Lewis Halpern" (some sources call her the latter, I guess this is her name after marriage). Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  15:51, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Christina Lewis Halpern was a good-search-term, fetching more sourcing but I'm afraid that she still fails to make the cut for a stand-alone article.
 * A NYT fashion-section about her marriage or a Tech-republic interview do not grant significant encyclopedic notability, IMO. (The latter was a new find:))
 * Neither does a blog-post at Nature.com (with not much editorial vetting) or a STEM-profile or a Baltimore piece, (which largely covers her father, from her words/memoir). (The former was a new find:))
 * I don't see anything in reliable (quasi)-independent sources other than these......
 * Definitely, a few lines can be added to her father's article, though:) &#x222F; WBG converse 16:06, 7 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep on account of subject squeaking past WP:GNG.
 * Sources examined:
 * The New York Times link takes us to social announcement of her marriage. Nothing there.
 * The Baltimore Sun features an interview with the article's subject; a legitimate proof of notability.
 * The East Hampton Star sports a fully fledged portrait.
 * One Root link is all about her father. Nothing there. Yet, the other Root article features her extensively.
 * There's an interview she gave to 33voices. Nothing much in that.
 * We have a real estate article she wrote in Cottages & Gardens. Nothing there either.
 * The Business Insider piece name drops her twice in a report about Goldman Sachs "reaching out to communities."
 * There's a PBS piece about All Star Code with nothing about the subject.
 * Note : There's a line that we often read in articles about her ("If my father were a young man today, where would he want to go?"), with variations ("I realized that if my father were a young man today, he would no doubt be working in technology"). Could be it's a line she repeats in every interview, could be her PR people at work. Still, subject is (just barely) past the notability threshold, although all this could be merged into an article about All Star Code. -The Gnome (talk) 19:33, 7 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep per The Gnome. Examining all of the sources that The Gnome provided and analyzed (thank you :)), there seems to be a few reliable sources that provide in-depth coverage, with the rest of the sources either being primary sources or primarily about something related to Christina rather than directly about her, such as her company or her father. Passes WP:GNG but barely.-- SkyGazer 512 Oh no, what did I do this time? 20:02, 7 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep per The Gnome/WP:GNG. Here's some more sources:
 * PBS video on All Star Code where they interview her for part of it
 * TechRepublic article mentioned (How does this not support notability per GNG? It's not a press release, so it's reliable and independent per the WP:RS noticeboard on TR)
 * Bloomberg interview on ASC but also on the subject's beliefs
 * Harper's Bazaar article about her book.
 * originalmess how u doin that busta rhyme? 20:13, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and added the TechRepublic and Harper's Bazaar sources to the article. Anybody feel free to add the other two sources as well.-- SkyGazer 512 <span style="background: linear-gradient(aqua, #d580ff);">Oh no, what did I do this time? 20:56, 7 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Keepish. I just cleaned this up. There were some very basic flaws, like calling the subject by her first name, repeating her dad's accomplishments four times, and some promotional dreck.  But there is keepable core.  Those issues should have been addressed before this was moved to mainspace. We'll have to watch this to prevent promotional crap from coming back into it. Jytdog (talk) 01:17, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
 * The fact that the article, at least in its original form, praised subject's dad so much and was created by a single-purpose account leads me to speculate there might be a connection between subject and creator, even if on a perhaps strictly business basis. However, this does not affect the notability assessment. -The Gnome (talk) 05:27, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
