Iris Fontbona

 * Delete or Merge with Andrónico Luksic Abaroa -- non-notable in her own right. Notability not inherited through kin. I had made the page a redirect to husband's article but another editor reverted and suggested AFD. Quis separabit?  14:38, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Her huband died over 10 years ago and she's now in charge. It's easy to find sources which cover her directly such as Iris Fontbona: The Success Story of the Richest Latina. Andrew D. (talk) 15:51, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
 * @Andrew D. -- With all due respect -- she is considered an heiress by Fortune, Forbes, etc., not an entrepreneur, according to the article's own text. And if she never grants interviews then how the heck are we supposed to know what she does, if anything? I suspect her stepchildren handle most of it, but whatever ....

 * Keep I'll grant you that the article, as it is written does not adequately confirm the subject's notability, however, she is clearly in charge of the family finances and her notabiity is not inherited, regardless of whether her fortune was. "A pesar de que Andrónico Luksic Craig, su hijastro, lidera la totalidad de su holding, toda decisión necesita ser evaluada por Iris antes de ser confirmada"...her step-son heads the holding company, but Iris must confirm any decision before it can be put into play. The article goes on to say that while she doesn't manage the day to day activities of the businesses, she does manage the investments of their foundation which make running the businesses possible. Which is confirmed in this link  Many articles talk about her reluctance to appear in press and donations to help children:, , ,  Sufficient to prove she meets GNG on her own.

 * Keep. Richest person in Chile. Probably notable, despite being foreign & a woman. Was there something more that she should have done? --Tagishsimon (talk) 17:25, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Clearly notable in own right as businesswoman and richest in country. Pam  D  18:56, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Strong keep and a trout for the nominator. The individual clearly meets WP:GNG, and a simple Google news check shows numerous sources where she is referenced in the title by her own name. This includes in multiple in-depth pieces by publications from around the world.  This alone means her notability is not inherited. --LauraHale (talk) 22:00, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Yet again at AfD, WP:BEFORE applies. Clearly passes WP:GNG in her own right. As for the nominator deleting her article and replacing it with a redirect to her late spouse, that was essentially unilateral deletion without discussion. Edwardx (talk) 22:10, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Just to clarify -- I did not want to AFD the article; I simply redirected it when it was a oneline stub and received an edit summary comment from another editor that I should consider AFD. Had the editor in question merely informed me that a full-fledged article on Fontbona was being compiled/created (perhaps a sandbox version) and would be ready within the day I would have proceeded differently. Although let us not fool ourselves -- much of Fontbona's article is already present in the Andrónico Luksic Abaroa and Andrónico Luksic Craig articles, particularly the former, but I am not gonna quibble.

 * Keep Seriously? the references are extremely good and notability is crystal clear.Comments are always welcome until someone actually closes the AfD.96.127.243.41 (talk) 01:16, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
