Individual is not notable. She just runs a Facebook page. Wikipedia is not for the biography of every single blogger Jahor (talk) 17:37, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep - This woman has mention in several mainstream, high-quality RS and in a whole bunch of lower quality RS. Seems to me that she would pass notability guidelines. NickCT (talk) 17:51, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Easy keep - this is not just some blogger, this is a person who runs a notable blog and who has been interviewed and/or profiled repeatedly by various segments of the science press. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  17:53, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
 * easy keep - passes GNG. SarahStierch (talk) 17:55, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - a quick scan of the refs immediately suggests notability.--A bit iffy (talk) 18:01, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. Clearly meets general notability guidelines. Puzzling why this was nominated. Cindy  ( need help? ) 21:35, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Fucking Keep This. Handily meets GNG with many appearances in media—dedicated coverage describing subject's life and career. WP:Trout for the disruptive SPA nominator. Binksternet (talk) 22:22, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete She runs a Facebook fan page. She isn't curing cancer. Waste of space article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.105.239.216 (talk) 00:16, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Read this, "Elise Andrew (born 1989) is a British blogger, social media specialist, biologist, and webmaster. She is the founder and maintainer of the Facebook page "I Fucking Love Science"; a hobby which has had her called "the Neil deGrasse Tyson of Facebook".[1]" Let me quote that again, "the Neil deGrasse Tyson of Facebook". Does this really sound like the person who deserves an article written about them? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.105.239.216 (talk • contribs)


 * Keep. significant coverage of her blog, and independent acknowledgement of her popularity. note: she got a lot of flak for being a female science blogger. of course she doesnt meet WP:EXTREMELY IMPORTANT AND EARTHSHAKING CONTENT WHICH MUST BE WORSHIPPED, but thats ok, not everything here is of top importance.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 06:22, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Einstein should be deleted, he didn't try to cure cancer. SarahStierch (talk) 09:58, 12 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep - Passes general notability guidelines. — Joaquin008 ( talk ) 09:48, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. Easily able to find significant coverage amongst reliable secondary sources independent of the subject. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 15:22, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. I hate doing this, but I have to admit that she has been covered enough to be notable, even if her only claim to fame is running a facebook page. Ducknish (talk) 22:08, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete as having received in depth coverage in independent third party sources but falling fowl of WP:1E. Stuartyeates (talk) 03:17, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
 * So you would prefer an article about I Fucking Love Science than one about Andrew? Binksternet (talk) 05:03, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Only if there are reliable sources on it that don't relate to this event. A quick google suggests that we're not exactly drowning in such sources. Stuartyeates (talk) 06:43, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
 * What event? Binksternet (talk) 00:08, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
 * The event in early 2013 when it emerged that it was run by a woman, some people made sexist comments and those sexist comments recieved wide media coverage. See pretty much every independent reference in the Elise Andrew for details. Stuartyeates (talk) 03:02, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
 * That event, the revelation that the blogger was female, and the near-immediate nasty responses, received wide media coverage. What would you do with those sources? Make an article called Reaction to 'I Fucking Love Science' being run by a woman? Binksternet (talk) 04:55, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
 * No, I would apply WP:1E, as I said above. Stuartyeates (talk) 08:13, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
 * 1E assumes at least one article is written to cover the reports in reliable sources. Which article would you write? I Fucking Love Science? Binksternet (talk) 14:43, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
