Debra Kahn Tolchinsky

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

As with her husband, whose article was recently deleted at Articles for deletion/David E. Tolchinsky, this is a heavily advertorialized biography of a person whose claims of notability are not reliably sourced. Just like David's article, this was an overgrown linkfarm of WP:ELNO violations to the self-published websites of people and organizations named in the article, until I cleaned it up just now — and the actual footnoted references are primary sources, not notability-supporting media coverage. As always, the notability test hinges less on what the article says, and more on how well the article references what it says to reliable sources. I also still suspect some form of conflict of interest editing here, as Debra and David were both created by the same user, and the only other contributions that user ahs ever made to Wikipedia at all that didn't directly involve the surname "Tolchinsky" still pertained to a colleague of theirs — so even if the article can actually be salvaged with better sources than I've been able to find, it would still have to be fundamentally overhauled for WP:NOTADVERT compliance anyway.

 * delete Fails to meet the GNG. Blogs, IMDB, and non-independent sources are all I see.Sandals1 (talk) 14:44, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. The article doesn't adequately demonstrate that she passes WP:GNG or WP:PROF, doesn't include sufficient references and isn't very well written, but it could possibly be a borderline case of notability. --Tataral (talk) 02:57, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
