Seemingly a rather average TV journalist; the only thing she's done, the only thing preventing an A7 speedy deletion, is an award from an educational charity. No evidence of notability, unless I'm missing something. Nyttend (talk) 14:22, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Delete per nom. No evidence of notability. --Dmol (talk) 05:03, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. I'm surprised at this nomination and particularly the suggestion that this bio should be close to being speedily deleted! Please do more reading around before such nominations. I've added a number of sources. Rowland was a long-standing foreign correspondent for the BBC, and has won awards for her reporting with both the BBC and Al Jazeera English - major news organisations. She received a lot of praise for her reporting in Afghanistan and Yugoslavia. Her decision to testify against Milosevic received a lot of attention, it even seems to be a common case study in journalism ethics - take a look at a Google Books search to see this. This is not an "average" TV journalist, and even if she were "average" there is enough commentary on her over the years to satisfy WP:GNG. Fences  &amp;  Windows  23:09, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep There's now plenty of sources. Easily passes WP:GNG now. StewdioMACK Talk page 15:34, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
