Jennifer Armstrong (writer)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

DePRODed by creator without addressing  the issue(s). Concern was: Does not meet criteria for 'any biography' or 'creative professionals' per WP:Notability (people). The sources provided are insufficient in number, depth, and scope to  assert notability  per WP:AUTHOR and some of them  are primary  sources and/or unreliable. Further searches have not provided articles about the subject  in the established independent press. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 00:32, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Please see Proposed deletion of biographies of living people. If the author objects to the deletion, and there is at least one source present that mentions the subject, the PROD template is allowed to be removed. While I am not expressing any viewpoints, your nomination statement is hardly accurate. Entertainment Weekly and the Los Angeles Times are clearly reliable sources, though I understand that you may feel they are inadequate. TRLIJC19  ( talk  •  contribs ) 00:41, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete as PROD-er, per Notability (people). TRLIJC19 is quite right that there was nothing improper in removing the PROD. I disagree, though, that the cited sources are sufficient to establish notability. The first is Armstrong's own blog; the other two are biographical descriptions at Entertainment Weekly, where she works, and Huffington Post, where she has blogged; they are primary sources. (There is currently nothing cited from the Los Angeles Times.) Writers are deemed notable if they are widely cited by peers or successors, are known for originating a significant new concept, or have created a significant or well-known work. Additionally, a writer may satisfy general notability guidelines for academics or for biographies. I see no evidence that Jennifer Armstrong satisfies these criteria (but of course I am willing to be convinced). Cnilep (talk) 04:50, 22 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete as per WP:Notability (people), and the above. Though the sources that are cited can be considered high-quality, one is a blog, and others a bio descriptions, just a note, this kinda also happened to one of my articles, which got deleted. TBrandley 05:13, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. I tried to find some sources for her and for her books, but the vast majority of what I could find are not the type that show notability. I did manage to find three sources that discuss her Mouseketeers book, but that's not enough to show that the book itself would have notability, let alone for the author. As far as her work as a journalist goes, there's nothing out there to show that she's had that large of an impact to where she'd pass notability guidelines on that front.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 13:28, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
