 * Keep. There is tons of coverage about her story, both contemporaneous with 9/11 and since; and her notability is also recognized by the Madeline Amy Sweeney Award given each year by the state of Massachusetts.  It's conceivable that the article should be named after the award instead of the person, but it would end up with the same content either way: a section about her biography and death, and a section about the award.  --Arxiloxos (talk) 01:52, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
 * A lot of people became famous as victims of 9/11. Slippery slope?? Quis separabit?  15:58, 11 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep - yes many became "famous as victims" as you say. But this "victim" is one of the very well known ones. she was one of those who gave reports into the hijacking etc. does not fail WP:GNG.--BabbaQ (talk) 16:41, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Passes GNG. Heck, there is a State of MA award named after her. SarahStierch (talk) 21:46, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep per BabbaQ. Passes GNG. — Joaquin008  ( talk ) 10:14, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. While in general I don't think victims are notable, the fact that this one no only has an award named after her but has a recorded phone conversation just before dying does put her an a category of recognition above other victims. MezzoMezzo (talk) 04:02, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete not really notable outside of the one event, it may be that the award is acutally notable and that could be created as a new article. MilborneOne (talk) 15:22, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Think you are misreading WP:ONEEVENT.--BabbaQ (talk) 16:15, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I dont need to read the guideline I was just expressing an opinion that the page mentions nothing outside of the one event. MilborneOne (talk) 11:57, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
