Françoise Girard (feminist)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Promotional and dishonest BLP. Mostly copied from official biographies (eg (pdf) and bombarded with random sources that mention her name but do not varify the content they follow. Currently contains no independent coverage about her. Poorly sourced promotional BLPs do not belong on Wikipedia. Get rid of it and let someone honest start over. duffbeerforme (talk) 15:10, 27 August 2022 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 22:46, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Authors, Women,  and Canada. Shellwood (talk) 15:48, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Week Keep but almost appears we need to TNT it. Article about the kerfuffle she was involved with from the Guardian and is the discussed in a paragraph here in the NY Times magazine section. . Interviews aren't really GNG, but she's here in a French article  and she's quoted here but also talked about in an article on abortion in Ireland . She seems to be a go-to expert in Canadian French-language media when they talk about Roe V. Wade being repealed, but not really usable for notability. Oaktree b (talk) 01:28, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:TNT/WP:PROMO and insufficient support for WP:BASIC notability. The 2020 "kerfluffle" article noted above, Women's health organisation president resigns following bullying and racism investigation (Guardian) is not particularly in-depth coverage of her career but it is the most substantial coverage I have found so far. She is quoted in the 2016 NYT Magazine article noted above, quoting herself speaking to someone who denies recalling the conversation. The 2018 report on the Ireland referendum in La Presse that includes quotes from Girard does not seem to provide much secondary context beyond (google translated) "At the head of an alliance headquartered in New York and bringing together 80 organizations from 40 countries in the developing world, Françoise Girard ardently defends access to abortion and reproductive rights in major international forums, including the United Nations." The 2020 50-50 Magazine interview introduces her as (google translated) "President of the International Women's Health Coalition (IWHC). Her organization is one of the six members of the Core Group, which is the supreme decision-making body of the Generation Equality Forum. It is co-chaired by representatives of UN Women, France and Mexico, as well as two representatives of civil society, including the IWHC."). After deletion, a redirect can be created to International Women's Health Coalition, where she is mentioned and information about her resignation (that is not included in this article) could be added.

 * Redirect to International Women's Health Coalition as WP:ATD. There is a bit of coverage, but not enough to meet WP:GNG. Passing mentions aren't enough, neither are refs for the sake of WP:PROMO. -Kj cheetham (talk) 12:01, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
 * , as an fyi, this article was created and primarily developed by a suspected and indefinitely blocked sock of Bennet 43, so this further appears to support WP:TNT deletion before a redirect is created, e.g. "undisclosed paid sock farms are frequently blown up", in addition to the careful review of this article by the nom as well as research during this discussion. Beccaynr (talk) 14:30, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I have no objections to use of WP:TNT before a redirect is created in this case, as opposed to just WP:BLANKANDREDIRECT. -Kj cheetham (talk) 14:34, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete: Article would be eligible for CSD G5; see Sockpuppet investigations/Bennet43. Regardless, it is irrevocably promotional and would need to be started over from scratch. Jack Frost (talk) 13:36, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete This thing needs to be WP:TNTed and the notability is on the borderline. If an experienced editor wants to create a new article on the subject in the draftspace and then submit it through AfC I would not be opposed. Best, GPL93 (talk) 19:47, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Per above, needs to be scrapped. Seacactus 13 (talk) 23:55, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
