Lily Wilder

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Basically WP:BLP1E with a dash of WP:NOTNEWS and WP:TOOSOON. It is super charming that a little girl found a dinosaur footprint, but it does not make her encyclopedically notable. We're not here to document every cute little human-interest story that hits the news, and at four years old, it's unlikely that Lily has much other claim to notability (yet). The discovery, yes. Her personally, not so much.

As it stands this is an exact copy of the Notable Incidents section in the Grallator article; I'm not opposed to a redirect there, but I figured AfD would be a better venue than requests for merge as it's higher-visibility. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 10:12, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete we should not be creating a BLP for three year old children who occasionally make the news. The fossil discovery is notable so it would make sense to repurpose the article with that focus, but I’m not volunteering. Mccapra (talk) 11:47, 2 February 2021 (UTC) PS the article creator has agreed on his talk page that this shouldn’t be a BLP and the article should focus on the scientific significance of the discovery.

 * Delete She could be moved to a sub-section or a brief mention about the species of dinosaur, she's not notable by herself. Oaktree b (talk) 20:16, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete (and repurpose) I created this article and i learned a lot about Wikipedia's notability policy after this incident. I love Wikipedia so its policies are respectful to me. I strongly agree with Mccapra's suggestion. Thanks everyone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Researcherphd (talk • contribs) 06:22, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete as others have already said. -Kj cheetham (talk) 10:19, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete This is not the dead sea scrolls. That is the level a discovery has to be at to maybe make the discoverer notable, and even then we would need long term significant coverage. I have strong doubts about us having any article ever on any child under age 10, and think we should be very cautious for those under age 18.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:49, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
