Jessica Pilot

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Bio about a journalist with no actual claim of notability. While there are a number of primary sources, there is no significant coverage in reliable independent sources and nothing to show why WP:NAUTHOR or WP:GNG would be met. It's tricky with journalists, because when searching for sources you come across their own writing (which is irrelevant for purposes of notability) and that may make it hard to find the pieces about them rather than by them, but in any case I can say that my search for sources yielded nothing useful. (The promotional style of the article doesn't help - it looks like there may be some COI involved, but that's not the reason I'm nominating it for deletion. I am simply unable to find the sources to show notability.) bonadea contributions talk 09:39, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete just being a journalist and TV producer is not enough to make one notable on its own.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:43, 23 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep Hi everyone, I'm the author of the article in question. I'm a newer editor, and this is my first AfD discussion, so hopefully I am following protocol. I was researching the subject in Wikipedia, and due to her last name also being a proper noun, I was directed to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jessica_Cox. I think having this article helps disambiguate the subject from people named Jessica who are pilots.

WP:NAUTHOR states "The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work." The subject is a producer at The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (which I'm a huge fan of) and since she produces all of the stand up comedy portions of the show, plays a significant role.

I looked around for other examples of authors/journalists who are listed in Wikipedia and found two subjects with similar notability. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Meyerowitz and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lydia_Polgreen

I'm happy to add on to the article to better establish notability, but I think the subject falls into the Author notability guidelines, and appears alongside similar Wikipedia articles of other authors. Thank you.WikiBear2000 (talk) 17:58, 23 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete. Actually, sources currently used on this page are mostly "fakes". They tell nothing on the subject. Which source tells she is a producer of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert? Here is source currently used on the page to support the statement. It does not tell it. My very best wishes (talk) 19:19, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete: "talent booker" not notable per se, agree that sources not RS. Agricola44 (talk) 05:48, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi User:WikiBear2000, and welcome! creating articles is a great thing to do. Producers and journalists can be notable, of course.  To keep this article, we would need stuff like profiles of her in WP:RSes, and/or articles about the show that go into some detail about her role in creating it.  Ping me if you can bring that sort of sourcing and I'll take a second look, but failing that I have to say delete'.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:59, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
