 * Keep Plymouth Herald and BBC Radio Devon coverage supplemented by the story by the ANI wire agency, which was picked up by all sorts of outlets, including the national tabloid the Daily Star.[p.10] She's also mentioned in the Guardian story "YouTube's hidden stadium-fillers". 86.44.31.213 (talk) 18:48, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment The Plymouth Herald is the only valid reference that is mentioned.  But, it must be taken with a grain of salt as that is her hometown paper.  The BBC Radio Devon references was removed from the article as it was a direct copy of her Wikipedia article... The BBC ref even said the source was Wikipedia.  The Daily Star has been deemed not a reliable reference.  The Guardian reference to her is exactly 1/2 of one sentence and the article is not about her.  Sources must be reliable and contain significant coverage in order to pass WP:GNG Bgwhite (talk) 22:45, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I was referring to her coverage on Radio Devon, such as . The Star is one example of an outlet that covered the wire story, an example with massive circulation. Saying The Star is unreliable doesn't cut it in this case. The Guardian mention is not meant to stand alone, but goes towards notability. 86.44.31.213 (talk) 13:19, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
