Margaret Bird

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Bird is a low-level local activists and was an unsuccessful candidate for the Utah State House. We probably should have an article on the incumbent who defeated her, since members of state houses are notable, but we don't need articles on all failed challengers.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:36, 15 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep She seems to have had quite an effect on Utah state finances and a lot of independent coverage. JASpencer (talk) 17:39, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
 * She runs a land-development company. If we had articles on everyone who ran similar level organizations, we would be overwhelmed by such articles. Most of the coverage is either not independent or passing.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:28, 16 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep she has made a notable contribution to Utah. Children's Land Alliance Supporting Schools seems like a notable company - what 'level' are you referring to.  The fact that more notable people haven't got an article is not a reason to delete this one.  Increasing the number of articles would not overwhelm Wikipedia as its not a paper encyclopedia.Jonpatterns (talk) 12:49, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
