 * Delete Non notable.--Aspro (talk) 16:40, 7 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep or second choice Merge to Eyewitness News (South Africa) - she has been name checked as being a key player in Eye Witness News on South African TV, as an appointed member of SANEF, and championing the televising of the Trial of Oscar Pistorius. All that makes me think she's about as notable as Moira Stuart. I appreciate the many news hits are pieces written by her, not about her. please read WP:JNN.

 * Comment: (1) The article appears to have been created by a single user account. (2) the image uploaded by that account appears to be a professional shot, within a studio, using a back drop. Yet the image (uploaded here) appears to be scanned  - not something that a professional photographer would normally stoop to.  At the very least he would insure that his copyright is in the EXIF of the image.  It looks to me like a portfolio shot, that people in the media often have done to add to their portfolio. Yet the uploalder is claiming it for his own.  Let him tell us what camera, ISO, f, speed, lens, and BD paper, spots and diffusers  he used. Thus,  this image  is exceedingly suspect. (3) Does anyone  that appears on TV or radio automatically become notable? WP would double or quadruple in size over-night if that were to be true.  (4) No good refs. Yet, thanks for bring it up in order to  double check  the  weight thereof. P.S. What is the diff between JNN and résumé?--Aspro (talk) 17:45, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete: Subject fails WP:JOURNALIST and WP:GNG. There are one or two (could be more) passing mentions as, Katy said this, Katy said that, and Katy said, blah, of no use.  Anup   [Talk]  01:09, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. All cited coverage is a passing mention or not by an independent reliable source.  Sandstein   19:58, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:JOURNALIST — Preceding unsigned comment added by Icebob99 (talk • contribs) 02:52, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Does not pass WP:JOURNALIST and WP:GNG, at least so far as published accounts seem to show. Her career does make it tricky to search for third-party sources, however, so I would be willing to change my opinion if significant coverage came to light.

 * Delete as per WP:JOURNALIST -- HighKing ++ 16:55, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
