Not signing a contract is not a cause for notability, recentism & media circus Madcoverboy (talk) 20:12, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep A stretch to apply WP:RECENT to an article about a recent death. Person achieved fame in 2006-7. Sources attest to notability. -- Kendrick7talk 20:18, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete or merge per nom. She enjoyed her fifteen minutes, and that's not enough to get an article. Ketsuekigata (talk) 00:21, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * WP:BLP1E, as part of WP:Biographies of living people, doesn't apply to dead people; as she does now have an article, I don't see the point in deleting per WP:NOT. -- Kendrick7talk 00:35, 24 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete or merge. Lots of people refuse to sell there homes. she got some minor coverage at the time, but no long term notability. Who is going to search for this name? The only place they would see it is in the sources, which give more info than here. Yobmod (talk) 12:20, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Not everyone who dies gets a piece about it on National Public Radio. How is that not long term notability? If this had merely been a matter of a person who was a flash in the pan in 2006, her death wouldn't have received nationwide coverage. Your second point is incorrect: this person wasn't only mentioned in reliable sources, but her story was all over the blogosphere as well; a google search gives 112,000 hits. If there's a desire to generate consensus for a merge, this should go thru proper means via a merge tag, etc. -- Kendrick7talk


 * Keep - a "folk hero" according to NPR (see link in article). A perfectly valid, well-sourced stub. Bearian (talk) 15:28, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
