Jackie Weaver

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Has a claim of notability in the article, but this is clearly a WP:BLP1E with no chance of enduring notability. If retained, needs a complete rewrite due to style issues. QuiteUnusual (talk) 10:31, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. You have no (lasting) notability here, Jackie Weaver. the wub "?!"  10:39, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Ha ha, brilliant. --IWI (talk) 11:55, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete As WP:BLP1 as these things get.©Geni (talk) 11:36, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete it's pretty funny, however, she's only notable for one event, so no way. I would consider a speedy delete. Willbb234Talk (please &#123;&#123;ping&#125;&#125; me in replies) 11:53, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete fails notability by a long shot. --IWI (talk) 11:55, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - although the video is funny, it is clearly not sufficient on its own to warrant a Wikipedia article. Suggest speedy deletion. Stevo1000 (talk) 12:01, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Read the notability guidelines. Read them and understand them! Funny, but not notable. Already covered at Handforth. PinkPanda272 (talk/contribs) 12:04, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Hi - original author here. Sorry first time on this forum and a Wiki newbie (formerly contributing by editing pages on my specialist subject). Can't do source editing just visual editing, and am in the middle of work so haven't got time to get to grips with the protocols for responding on here, so please bear with me; understand the grounds for deletion and I think possible copyright infringement with the image although that was a screengrab same as every other main media outlet has done so am not clear why they can do this and I can't. I created the page because I saw many tweets this morning asking who Jackie Weaver was. Didn't realise the grounds for notability so fair enough. Don't have any objection to deletion if you wish but would be good to add the content to the Handforth page or other relevant as others have added to it today. Thanks! 	--Nerd54321 (talk) 12:36, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * thanks for this message. No worries. All the Wikipedia rules and guidelines are hard to understand for new editors, so nobody here blames you for anything. Kind regards, Willbb234Talk (please &#123;&#123;ping&#125;&#125; me in replies) 13:16, 5 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete or redirect to Handforth. It can easily be replaced if she becomes a long-lasting icon of the feminist movement. Deb (talk) 14:51, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:BLP1E, however has there been any previous coverage of Handforth Parish Council? If so we could create that article. SK2242 (talk) 15:47, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Strong Delete of this article per WP:NOTABILITY, but it may be worth creating a separate article for the Parish Council and adding a mention of the incident there. --Pokkeballs17 (talk) 16:55, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Parish Councils are rarely notable. Handforth is probably the closest we are going to get.©Geni (talk) 17:10, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * : The page Handforth Parish Council has been created. --Bangalamania (talk) 18:55, 7 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Do Not Delete - You cannot delete this article. You do not have the authority. Read the standing orders. READ THEM AND UNDERSTAND THEM! 2A00:23C4:5401:C800:A559:1AE5:FF9:F175 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 17:54, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Textbook WP:BLP1E. OhNo itsJamie Talk 18:03, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete but redirect the "Jackie Weaver" page to Handforth, as the topic is covered in that section? --TheVaughano (talk) 19:02, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:NPOL by a northern mile; no objection to a subsequent redirect to the small portion of the village's article that covers the incident (at least until I someone removes it in a ~years time on the ground of having had no demonstrable enduring coverage). PS: some excellent deletion rationales above! ——  Serial  19:09, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: per nom and WP:BLP1E. P,TO 19104 (talk) (contribs) 19:55, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:BLP1E but Redirect either to Handforth, where the event involving her is perhaps worth a mention, or to the unrelated page Jacki Weaver as a common misspelling. This is Paul (talk) 20:38, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. Boris could learn a lot. "Brenda from Bristol" (talk) 12:00, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - While she has certainly attracted attention because of the viral clips of the online meeting, at the moment there is no sign of her having the sort of notability or sustained coverage that the subject of a Wikipedia article would be expected to have. Dunarc (talk) 23:57, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge The nomination is based on WP:BLP1E but that doesn't say to delete anything. Instead, it plainly states that "In such cases, it is usually better to merge the information and redirect the person's name to the event article."  So that's what we should do per our policy WP:PRESERVE. Andrew🐉(talk) 14:03, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Do Not Delete You have no authority to delete, no authority at all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.104.158.10 (talk) 22:29, 7 February 2021 (UTC)


 * There does seem to be quite a lot now at Cheshire East Council bullying and misconduct allegations. Martinevans123 (talk) 14:04, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
 * As the creator of that article, I would favour a merge of this page's content with it. --Bangalamania (talk) 18:55, 7 February 2021 (UTC) (changed vote: see below --Bangalamania (talk) 22:22, 10 February 2021 (UTC))

Remove it she is only notable for this one event and it’ll be forgotten in like a month it’s like giving an article to that guy on come dine with me who said you have the grace and decorum of a reversing dump truck with no tires on — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7F:B416:3000:3808:FFB5:EB1:6E95 (talk) 14:12, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - is there really a need to delete? Many in Britain now know here and others who have had the same viral attention have their pages. What's the harm in keeping it up? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikieditor123000 (talk • contribs) 19:22, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge with Cheshire East Council bullying and misconduct allegations. Subject is not notable enough for a standalone article.  Jip Orlando (talk) 18:18, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Do Not Delete I believe that this article is socially significant. It has been well referenced and in accordance to wiki standards.  I think for this reason it should continue to be included. Howard352
 * Delete. It's a funny story, but this is the most straightforward BLP1E you'll ever see. We have articles on Handforth Parish Council and Cheshire East Council bullying and misconduct allegations; Ms Weaver doesn't need her own article as well. She doesn't pass BIO, and there's no significant content in this article that's not in the latter article anyway. It could alternatively be redirected to Cheshire East Council bullying and misconduct allegations. Robofish (talk) 21:57, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge. There may be a notable meme in this, but this should be rewritten from the focus on the person per BLP if kept. Merge seems like a reasonable compromise here. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 08:31, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails almost every notability measurement we have. "Internet famous" is not credible enough. It's a funny, here-today gone-tomorrow bit of trivia, and it made me laugh, and it created lots of funny memes. But she's an office worker, not a celebrity. Fails GNG BLP and pretty much everything else. doktorb wordsdeeds 22:04, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Oooh, I thought Abz Love was great! **swoon** It was in fact someone called Peter Marsh: Martinevans123 (talk) 16:57, 10 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Comment Query: Does the fact that she now has had a bona fide parody version ("Don't Cry for Me Jackie Weaver") of a rather famous song dedicated to her by its rather famous composer Andrew Lloyd Webber affect BLP1E status? (Personally, you think it's strange, but I never expect to be able to extract the ear worm now - the truth is, it won't be easy at all... though, in current circumstances, I'd better keep my distance here.) 86.186.155.228 (talk) 16:45, 10 February 2021 (UTC) [ 86.186.120.209 (talk) 03:38, 11 February 2021 (UTC) ]
 * In light of this, I would probably say keep. --Bangalamania (talk) 22:22, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
 * It's a definite keep, someone even made a cake in her likeness. This is Paul (talk) 00:36, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Lol. Ben Cullen from Chester is hardly baking Royalty, is he? Although it was a great likeness. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:55, 12 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Merge It does certainly go against WP:BLP1E and WP:1E as famous does not mean notable. The content is solid and well referenced so as per WP:PRESERVE it should be merged into Handforth Parish Council or Cheshire East Council bullying and misconduct allegations.Qazwsx777 (talk) 09:18, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep: Also memorialised in "An Ode to Jackie Weaver", with music composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber.Leutha (talk) 01:31, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
