The result was   keep. The consensus is that the sourcing is sufficient to meet the notability requirements. The lack of detail in the sole delete is not sufficient to warrant ignoring the mention that the Portland Business Journal is a reliable source  Phantom Steve / talk &#124; contribs \ 11:26, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

This is a tricky one - I'm nominating this ideally for a second opinion more than anything. The article subject has been in contact with the OTRS team and does not wish for this to be deleted, but after some time working on improving the article I have come to the conclusion that Luck simply isn't a notable enough person to warrant an article. There are plenty sources but all seem to mention her only in passing, and she is president of a company that does not have its own article on Wikipedia. — foxj 03:21, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak keep The Portland Business Journal source is what one could consider a reliable business source. Perhaps this stub of an article should suffice since the sources are legitimate. But perhaps other contributors have other opinions. --Artene50 (talk) 07:57, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep Per Wikipedia guidelines biographies must have the following characteristics: "1. The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for one several times. 2. The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:PEOPLE It is clear from the article that Luck has 1. been nominated and received several awards and honors and 2. has contributed to the historical record in her field both by being a leader in market research (long-standing articles in journals and other publications) and founding an important group for women in the industry. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristin_Luck#cite_ref-1 To address the comment above "she is president of a company that does not have its own article on Wikipedia" it is not mainly her presidency of the company that is of note. It is the other activities mentioned in the article. --Mariefayandre (talk) 20:03, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
