Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lindsay McCormick


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   delete. Based on my research, this individual does not meet WP:GNG yet. DGG's arguments hold significant sway. WP:AUTOBIO is also quite important to note. This article *may* need to be created way off in the future should they actually meet notability requirements then ( talk→  BWilkins   ←track ) 12:35, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Fixing red-linked nomination - the nominator was an IP, who didn't create a discussion page. I have no opinion either way on deletion, and have utterly no objection to an early closure on speedy keep grounds. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 10:14, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep She not exactly an A-list celebrity, but seems notable enough for the page to remain.JoelWhy (talk) 12:51, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment: The IP that placed the AfD tag left a comment along the lines of WP:N and WP:COI/WP:AUTOBIO on the article talk page. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 14:20, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. Ah, didn't check there. Full quote from IP nominator is "I'm nominating this page for deletion. The creator of this page is the person, herself, a violation of Wikipedia policy. This is also a violation of notability guidelines - (not "independent of the subject") and no significant coverage or awards." Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 15:23, 19 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep Links seem to show she's notable, with multiple articles and interviews. --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:31, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete You can tell she created her own page, based on the user name that created the page. Looks like her entire bio is brief appearances, guest work, and the magazine article was based on a rumor she slept w/ a football player.  She's early in her career, with no regular work.  Definitely not notable yet. 16:22, 19 April 2012 (UTC)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.210.117.94 (talk)
 * 'KEEP - THIS CHICK JUST HOSTED CBS BROADCAST FOR THE NFL DRAFT AND SHE FREAKING ROCKED IT! SHE'S GOING TO BE A HUGE SUPERSTAR IN A VERY SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME! Also saw 8 different articles about her today. Wiki is a freaking joke if they don't acknowledge her. 6:22, 28 April 2012 (UTC)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.210.117.94 (talk)   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.237.151.130 (talk)

 * Keep—Most of the references are sketchy, but one is clearly a RS, and a couple others claim to have editorial teams, so, passes GNG, if barely... Liv it ⇑ Eh?/What? 00:54, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep—If Fox News acknowledges the girl as an analyst she is somewhat credible. Plus, I follow her on twitter and just saw she's doing the CBS National coverage for the NFL Draft. CBS Sports Tweeted it. I would say that makes her credible as well. Maybe not an A-list, but either are half of the people on here. My guess is the publicist got on and added more articles to the page. She's popular enough to keep the page. Plus, she was on Grimm the tv show. 19 April 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.210.117.94 (talk)   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.169.44.34 (talk)
 * Delete-Yea, I nominated this page. It's all self-promotion from her - she has no full-time position.  It seems all the keeps here, still confess it's weak.  She has no full-time position, all her online stuff is just appearances, and the FOX News author she just knows personally. CBS doesn't even DO draft coverage. One guy from CBS Sports Network sent a tweet he was working w/ her.  If we allow pages like this, we open up Wikipedia to all sorts of F-level public figures.  What about the fact that she created and maintains the page too - a clear violation of WP:COI and WP:AUTOBIO?  The girl is just out of college and wants to show off - which isn't what Wikipedia is for. 04:20, 20 April 2012 (UTC)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.238.52.140 (talk)
 * ""Keep"" http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft Yes, they do cover the draft. Check out the countdown on this website to their draft show. Bruce Feldman is their lead analyst. Used to work for ESPN. The fact that we are discussing her THIS much, proves she deserves one. If no one cared, then there wouldn't be this many posts. This is the type of stuff that turns a chick into a Kim Kardashian. Next, she'll have her own reality show...so keep talking about her and keep caring because she's my friend, an amazing person and actually knows the ins and outs of the game! You go girl! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.169.44.34 (talk • contribs)
 * Keep- The "genius" 2 posts up clearly needs the Wiki page on McCormick, because his info is COMPLETELY OFF! The Wiki page is used for when articles reference her as an analyst probably created by her publicist who just used her name to keep all of her clients straight. McCormick was under contract in a full time exclusive position with CSN last season. They exempted her to cover NFL for Esquire while under contract. CBS DOES do draft coverage. The poster above proved that. McCormick is the host of their show. She is NOT just out of college. She completed her coursework at Auburn early and began working with ESPN at age 20. She chose to come back and finally walk when Bo Jackson gave out the diplomas in 2009. According to Wiki, she has been in the industry for almost 5 years, but accomplished a lot. If the page is deleted, someone else will create a new one after she ends up hosting more stuff.    04:20, 20 April 2012 (UTC)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.238.52.140 (talk)   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.68.73.172 (talk)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete Whether she meets the WP:GNG depends upon the degree the articles about her are mere public relations. (personally I find the ESPN hotties series somewhat disgusting, but that's not a reason for deletion)  The correct Esquire link is ,& I reading through it, I class that as PR, despite the apparent respectableness of the publication.     But that does not compel us to have an article if the intent and purpose is promotional entirely, as I think this is.  The nature of the keep arguments above seem to prove it.  I rarely say that as a deletion argument except for what I consider the more outrageous cases.  DGG ( talk ) 05:10, 26 April 2012 (UTC).
