Lizzy Clark

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Fails WP:GNG due to lack of significant coverage in reliable secondary sources. The article only cites two secondary sources and only one is actually about Lizzy Clark (the BBC article). The rest of the cited sources are mostly about Clark's mother and are all primary sources except one (The Observer). Consequently, this article relies too heavily on primary sources; more than half of the eight sources cited are primary (mostly things written by Clark's mother), with only two secondary sources and one dead link. Also, the majority of the Career section is about their mother's activism (and it should be noted that the website for the mother's campaign is no longer active), and the Personal Life section says more about Clark's mother and sister than it does about Lizzy Clark.

 * Weak keep. I'm not against an article having primarily primary sources. The newspaper articles are not all interviews by the subject. There are at least three good sources with material about the person. I add in "weak" due to the lack of secondary sources. Bearian (talk) 17:20, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia notability guidelines require that articles rely primarily on independent sources (WP:INDEPENDENT), so an article that relies primarily on primary sources fails that requirement. The biggest problem in the case of this article is that most of the sources cited were written by and/or about the subject's mother (who actually seems more notable than the subject) and contains little or no substantive information about the subject. Also, what are the "three good sources" you mentioned? I'm only aware of one short BBC article. Baronet13 (talk) 08:24, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete. Careful and thorough search for SIGCOV by reliable independent secondary sources doesn’t show anything that would satisfy notability guidelines per WP:GNG and WP:NPERSON. Shawn Teller (talk) 22:35, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
