Laura Massey ("lollip0p")

The material presented does not amount to notability. User talk:Agentostrich shows prior attempts to create the article, which is presumably an autobiography.  DGG ( talk ) 04:54, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Not sure what the claim to notability is Porturology (talk) 05:55, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Let's go the references one-by-one and see how they shape up:
 * Geekwire Q&A establishes her job title and the NerdTrivia ownership and at least hints at its popularity. Geekwire seems sufficiently independent, and while not the most notable publication, it's at least a start.
 * Major Nelson Radio Broken links to the show itself and a mention of lollip0p as the co-host. Not thrilled with this one.  Moving on.
 * Engadget recommendation] Engadget basically endorses Massey, among others, on twitter who they claim to be "the best and most knowledgeable" for others to follow about Microsoft, and it's correctly cited in the article.  While it is a blog entry, it is from one of Engadget's editors, and I feel like Engadget has more than a little notability when it comes to tech news.
 * Gamer profile No. Just no.  Gamer score does not provide any notability, and the rest of the gamertag shouldn't be used as it is user-created content.
 * Laura does the robot YouTube is user-submitted content, and therefore unreliable. Also, that's not  The Robot.
 * Creative Development Team for XBox Live Parties from XBox.com Massey nor lollip0p isn't mentioned in this. It only discusses how XBox Live Parties work.  In the words of Sonic the Hedgehog-- That's no good.
 * Massey and Nerd Trivia This one is a pretty substantive interview with Massey about the Nerd Trivia game on Twitter. I'm not very familiar with bnbgaming.com, so it is perhaps not very notable, but the interview along with the 1st Geekwire source corroborates the NerdTrivia info.
 * I'm deciding on a delete. Many of these references have major  notability issues.  There is some independent coverage here, but a game on Twitter and a recommendation on Engadget does not a Wikipedia entry make.  I Jethrobot (talk) 06:03, 23 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment, maybe a speedy deletion? I just came across this deletion review citing the following: Laura Massey – Deletion endorsed; recreation not permitted. Should this article have been created in the first place? I Jethrobot (talk) 06:06, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
 * It has been deleted 8 times see [] Porturology (talk) 06:32, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete The only claim of notability I see as being part of an Engineer is that "Massey is a member of the development team responsible for creating and implementing the Xbox Live Parties feature included in the New Xbox Experience." But the source that clarifies the statement is a blog, which raises questions as to whether this is a reliable reference or not. Claims of importances about an engineer should be accompanied by news sources, and I don't see that here at present, which is the reason why I decided to vote delete.
