Donna Gregory

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Nothing to indicate notability. As far as it goes it describes a perfectly ordinary journalist. Nothing stated in the article is sourced, and the one reference given simply tells us that Donna Gregory has taught a class to 7th and 8th grade children - not sufficient to establish notability. A PROD was removed by an IP editor with no explanation. The reason given for the PROD was "This article has existed for almost six years in an "abbreviated" form and has failed to develop much substance at all. Last year I added an archived link, to replace the dead one at the time, hoping to spur some attention on moving the article along, but little has subsequently occurred. In its present state, I believe it fails to meet our requirements for either notability and, because of its single supporting source from a (self published?) rather "puffy" article from seven years ago, I believe it fails our need for "verifiability" in biographical material related to living persons as well. In my opinion,this article appears to exist exclusively for promotional purposes." JamesBWatson (talk) 11:20, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. I was the editor who placed the original PROD, quoted above. Deconstructhis (talk) 13:57, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
