 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I've reviewed the past AfD (and the article) and I am not convinced this person passes WP:NBIO. A singe 'in-depth' source is what reads like a press release about her wedding:. Then there are some sources that mention her briefly in passing, as in she has been cited/mentioned by others - hardly surprising, particularly considering she was a spokeswoman. Nothing here seems to suggest much of notability, however - no independent, in-depth coverage to speak of. Just a middle-level official that is google'able.

 * Actually, the 2nd source in the article, the 2004 article in The State (newspaper),: "The work began two years ago, but the win began with Iowa. Jenni Engebretsen was at Nightcaps on Devine Street, hoarse from yelling, dizzy with victory and lack of sleep. She'd been in Columbia since August, the first full-time spokeswoman of the S.C. presidential campaigns. Tonight, her five months - with no days off since Thanksgiving - were paying off. Her guy, U.S. Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina, surprised himself, Iowans and even his true believing staff, who'd hoped for... " is WP:SIGCOV.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:23, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

 * WP:HEY Looks like we need to update page, reassess sourcing because by 2011/12 the press was referring to her by her married name, Jenni LeCompte . Washington Post: Today, in a blog post on the Treasury website, Jenni LeCompte gets at why the “McConnell Provision” is essential in a world where...''.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:32, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
 * As Jenni LeCompte her role in a some of Obama-administration flaps gets revisited in books by Tom Fitton, David Folkenflik, and ohters, in his book Stress Test: Reflections on Financial Crises, Timothy Geithner calls her "Jenni Engebretsen LeLecompte" at times, but uses and Jenni LeCompte in the introduction. She was "Jenni Engebretsen" in Elizabeth Edwards's memoir.   It's quite a lot of coverage over a lot of years.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:16, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep per books noted in previous comment, and news coverage. RebeccaGreen (talk) 03:33, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Weak delete I don't see the WP:SIGCOV. I see a passing mention of her as a campaign worker and a promotion of a blog post she wrote. I don't have access to the books so not a strong delete, but a WP:BEFORE search just brings up passing coverage that doesn't convince me there's WP:SIGCOV of her in the books - quotes of her or small promotional articles saying she joined a firm. The sourcing in the article isn't of much help: a wedding article, a passing mention, and an article she took a job. SportingFlyer  talk  05:59, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete I find one source but not significant coverage in multiple sources. Sdmarathe (talk) 16:11, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
 * And a wedding announcement is basically the definition of routine! SportingFlyer  talk  23:56, 8 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete - not enough sourcing in the article nor in a Google search to meet WP:GNG. TimTempleton (talk) (cont)  22:56, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete as a Google search only turns up a Bloomberg profile and a few sundry press releases, but if kept strong rename to Jenni LeCompte to account for her married name. -- John M Wolfson (talk) 18:12, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
