as per WP:BLP1E. Simply being the only conjoined twins of their type in Canada is not encyclopaedic for WP. LibStar (talk) 09:28, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

 * It's true that being the only craniopagous conjoined twins in Canada would not, in itself, justify an article. What justifies an article is all the sources.  There are some in the article already, and others I found with a quick search here, here and here.  The encyclopaedic interest here seems to be that there's an extent to which the two girls share a brain (tickle one and the other smiles; scientists will test to see if they can see through each other's eyes).  That's unique, and has important implications for the study of identity and consciousness.— S Marshall  T/C 18:31, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, what exactly is the one "event" here that would possibly make BLP1E apply? postdlf (talk) 00:13, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
 * they are only known for 1 thing. LibStar (talk) 00:54, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
 * It's not BLP1THING. The policy specifies "event" for a reason. postdlf (talk) 01:18, 11 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Mark Arsten (talk) 13:27, 17 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep Unless their birth is counted as one event, BLP1E doesn't apply so far as I can see. BLP1E is for people who have been involved in one event (that of itself is often of doubtful notability...) but otherwise have led quite unremarkable lives. I can see continuing interest in this case as more research is done by the doctors. Peridon (talk) 15:47, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Plenty of significant coverage in reliable sources, including articles by the Toronto Star, Maclean's, the Globe and Mail, a ten-page piece in the NY Times Magazine, and a paper in UBC's Undergraduate Journal of Psychology which states "Krista and Tatiana’s thalamic bridge will provide significant insight into the study of cognition and behaviour, and may even have significant implications to the philosophy of mind". S Marshall has already mentioned the interview with Anderson Cooper. I'd call that notable and encyclopaedic. Braincricket (talk) 15:51, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment What's with the second nomination thing in the box? Has this been nominated before, and if so why does that link to here? Peridon (talk) 15:52, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't know what's going on with the box, but here is the first nomination. Braincricket (talk) 15:59, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah, they were called 'Simms' then not 'Hogan'. Very inconsiderate... :) Peridon (talk) 16:42, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Fixed; the first AFD now displays above. postdlf (talk) 02:20, 18 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep - Documented and sourced. Meets WP:BIO. Jrcrin001 (talk) 01:46, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - Per Braincricket. The NYTimes magazine piece is worth reading if anyone has interested in the subject.--Milowent • hasspoken  04:08, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
