Katie Barge

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Fails WP:BIO. One independent source is given (#2), but this one does not contain in-depth coverage of the subject. PROD was contested with request to list the article on AfD. -- Sent here as part of the Notability wikiproject. --B. Wolterding 13:26, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete She was involved in a once-newsworthy event, but there are insufficient reliable sources to say much about her beyond that. The event itself doesn't seem particularly noteworthy in retrospect, although I can understand why this might have been created at the time. Thomjakobsen 13:40, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete not notable beyond the single crime. --DHeyward 14:36, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Appears to violate WP:BLP1E. - Crockspot 14:42, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
 * She has some notability beyond the crime. THat's why she has an article and the person who actually committed the fraud doesn't.  She's not notable enough for an article though.   --DHeyward  —Preceding unsigned comment added by DHeyward (talk • contribs) 14:52, 8 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete - non-notable. --Tom 14:57, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unless evidence of notability aside from this minor incident is presented. Gamaliel (Angry Mastodon! Run!) 05:47, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Even with the crime reference, the notability argument seems a bit thin. As it stands however, the reference to the crime has been removed from the article as the Washington Post source did not support the statement regarding this person's involvement. Various blogs make the link but I couldn't find an alternative mainstream source to replace the deleted one. In the absence of the crime reference the Katie Barge article is just about a communications director at a non-profit who used to work for John Edwards. This certainly lacks notability.

 * I readded the crime reference. It's in the plea agreement for Weiner.  Barge wasn't charged but was involved per the agreement.  She's wroked for DSCC, John Edwards, Media Matters and now Faith in Public Life.  Get's a ton of google hits--DHeyward 07:34, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
