Erica Payne

 * – ( View AfD View log )

BLP of a non-notable person. Sources provided do not establish notability. First source is a blog, second source is a bio on Huffington Post's website because Erica writes blog entries on that site, third source is an article in which Erica is briefly quoted, but the article is not about Erica.

 * Keep writting for the Huffington Post is fairly notable, and per GNG the article does not need to be about the subject in order to establish notabillity. A quick google search revealled quite a lot of refs (although oddly none in g-news), including TV appearances on Fox News, MSNBC and a few other news shows (e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0u7U04rKFzM and look at the linked vids). I think there is enough evidence of notabillity to keep.--ThePaintedOne (talk) 19:09, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete, thousands of people appear on TV but they're not all notable; likewise, there are dozens of contributors to HuffPo. NYyankees51 (talk) 01:28, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. I agree with the points made by ThePaintedOne, and add that she founded one organization and co-founded another, each of them being notable enough for its own article. JamesMLane t c 04:14, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Keep. I agree with ThePaintedOne and others.  Erica Payne is a voice of the liberal left and has been repeatedly featured on news channels, the Huffington Post and others.  She is a force in the liberal community and founded political organizations.Lucy82891  —Preceding undated comment added 16:21, 11 February 2011 (UTC).
