Kate Hardcastle

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

This is a biography of a buinesswoman but I just can't see where the notability lies. The only nods towards notability in the article are a "National Best Business Support" award (not actually sure what that is) but that was to the company of which she is a director not to Hardcastle herself. There is also a claim to a be a finalist in the Business Award Young Person of the Year however as that was in a local paper I don't see that conferring notability. The charity work is worthy but again, not notable. Nancy talk  12:08, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete Mid-level executive, then consultant. The press coverage and awards are all very, very local. The charity work apparently consists of singing in a group to raise funds for a few charities; not impressive. All in all, fails WP:N. --MelanieN (talk) 05:47, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I think it would be helpful to mark in the article where improvements need to be made to give people a chance to make the necessary amendments rather than just delete it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.220.210.24 (talk) 16:56, 18 March 2010 (UTC)  — 188.220.210.24 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * The quality of the article is not what is being discussed here, rather we are trying to ascertain whether the subject (i.e. Kate Hardcastle) meets Wikipedia's notability requirements for biographies. Articles can be fixed, a lack of notability cannot. Nancy  talk  17:05, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete, doesn't seem notable, working with famous clients doesn't confer notability. NawlinWiki (talk) 02:44, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
