Imogen Binnie

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I saw the article for this person added as a notable at North Hunterdon High School without a source. Looking at the article I could see no sources for residence or education. Searching in Google / News / Archives I could find no sources for her hometown or high school, nor could I find any news article for "Imogen Binnie". She does appear to have written a novel, but all of the other sources in the article are trivial mentions, at best, and one of the links is a blog post where she chimed in. I am often leery of nominations for deletion where there was no research done before the AfD was initiated, but there seems to be nothing here. Alansohn (talk) 19:16, 28 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Actually the sources referenced in the article are mostly worldcat.org links, which is pretty reliable. The birth place/high school info can be verified easily with both online and offline sources, it seems that on the pages for other artists/authors these things aren't required to be cited. Why this one? At the very most it seems like removing this one piece of information rather than deleting the whole article, would be prudent. Brooklynlayman 3:53, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Worldcat.org is reliable for the catalog entries, but there's nothing there about her. The article needs reliable and verifiable sources establishing notability, and there's nothing there. Alansohn (talk) 21:01, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. She's described as "emerging as an incisively intelligent and startlingly vital queer voice in today¹s literary landscape", i.e. not there yet as far as notability is concerned. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:11, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
