Deborah Davis

 * – ( View AfD View log )


 * Delete - coverage stems entirely from a single news event, her arrest over five years ago for refusing to show identification papers when asked by police. She was arrested but never went to trial as charges were dropped before she was even arraigned. There has been no ongoing coverage of her or the arrest and no sources that indicate that the event is of any lasting historical significance. This amounts to a news item. The subject of the article has apparently edited it as User:DeborahDavis but very infrequently and apparently only to correct factual errors. This was nominated for deletions once before, over five years ago under different capitalization, and kept with very light participation. Harley Hudson (talk) 04:31, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
 * To add, there is an author also named Deborah Davis who has written four books, including one that has a Wikipedia article, and this article is linked to instances referring to the author Deborah Davis, likely causing confusion for readers. Harley Hudson (talk) 04:35, 26 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete - As per above, it seems that somewhat this person has no relevance to have an article within Wikipedia, could be a case of WP:1EVENT too. Eduemoni↑talk↓  04:44, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete as not a notable individual. Lot's of people get themselves in the press for good reasons and bad, and Wikipedia has guidelines for which qualify for an article. The comparison with Rosa Parks in the article is telling precisely by drawing attention to the differences. --AJHingston (talk) 09:31, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
