Kate Morgan

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Goes against WP:1E in that the article subject is only associated with an alleged haunting and not notable for anything else under notability guidelines. KuyaBriBri Talk 05:19, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment WP:1E is a section of the Biographies of Living Persons policy. I'm not sure if being a ghost really qualifies... :) Totnesmartin (talk) 09:52, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete despite the above, there's not really enough to support an article here. Kate Morgan's suicide is no more notable than anyone else's, and she achieved nothing noteworthy in life. For the haunting, the only source given is a book commissioned and only sold by the relevant hotel - a clear conflict of interest (ghost stories are always good for business). Until a noted paranormal author/investigator writes a book or chapter on this, there's nothing to go on. Totnesmartin (talk) 09:58, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. I don't have anything to say about this nomination, but if deleted, it could be a redirect to Katie Morgan.SPNic (talk) 15:16, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to Hotel del Coronado. The life isn't notable, but a few lines of her haunting of the hotel is. Reywas92 Talk  15:33, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. The article once contained a lot more information that sourced another book but that information was added by the author of the book, going against WP:OR. The talk page contains a lot of extraneous information about Kate Morgan but that info deals a lot with her spouse, straying from the topic of the article. Another contributor has offered to include additional factual information about Morgan, but it is also a WP:OR issue that I'm not sure can be readily cited.

 * Keep Notable ghost story. ChildofMidnight (talk) 18:40, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Is the subject of at least three books. A news search indicates multiple mentions of the said myth, with some sources also mentioning the books. LeaveSleaves talk 14:23, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
