This is a contested proposed deletion. The ProD nominee alleged that the subject edited her own article in violation of the rules, inserting puffery and spam. The newbie editor, Berlinetta1492, also stated that the subject fails the guidelines for creative persons. I take no stance on any of the allegations. I did a basic online search before coming here and found some sources that indicate marginal notability. Some of the wording in the article is florid, but could be fixed through the normal editing process. Please discuss. Bearian (talk) 21:37, 24 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete: More laughable self-promotion, sources indicate the opposite of notability. EEng (talk) 02:47, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete: Mm, I'm with EEng. The article claims that the subject has been "featured" in the San Francisco Examiner, but when you pull up the cite, it's a 168 word soundbite from one of the Examiner's bloggers, half of which is the subject boasting about her skills at gaming the Google search engine.  The article's lead claim that the subject "has been a major influence on the recent 21st century turn towards more feminine styles and colors used in digital and print design" comes from her own response on a blog interview.  She has allegedly been featured in "Design 360º," a publication which lacks a Wikipedia article, and indeed a search turns up, why, Greenwalt's Wikipedia article as the lead hit.  The article also claims that she was named a "top designer of 2009" by Print Runner, but the company's website seems to have no record of the same.  The bar of WP:CREATIVE is quite high, and alleged awards from spurious sources doesn't come remotely close.  The subject certainly doesn't meet the GNG.  Ravenswing  16:24, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I've decided that she is not notable enough for inclusion, due to paucity of independent sources required for all articles. I've found thousands of Ghits, but on further review, many seem to be cites of her work, rather than about her. Delete. Bearian (talk) 19:03, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah ... if Greenwalt boasts about her ability to doctor search engine results, I'd say that nothing sort of impeccable print media sources will serve.  Ravenswing  20:47, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
