Mariam Sobh
nn student journalist, no other contributions to field, Delete -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 16:57, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Had a weekly (Thursday) column in a daily newspaper. Got quite noted as such. A simple websearch reveals this. She is also active and noted in music. gidonb 18:28, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, borderline speedy candidate. College-newspaper writer, apparently most notable for falling for a hoax. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  18:38, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Mariam Sobh gets 484 hits from very diverse media and very diverse activities.  Daily Illini is an independent daily covering news from Urbana-Champaign and beyond. gidonb 22:42, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment It's a student newspaper, and as such is not as inherently notable as most local papers, and definitely not as notable as the major dailies. -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 17:23, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment The Daily Illini is one of the two independent dailies in Urbana-Champaign, so it is not the New York Times. Yet the article is not on the Daily Illini, which has an article (click here) and deserves more attention. The article is about an author and musician who receives 484 hits for diverse activities, many of them the hoax but also on her theories regarding the fashion industry and her music preformance. This is a lot of hits. She also won a journalism prize. It proves that students can get noted. We run many articles on students that make news. gidonb added some info on 15:03, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Gidonb, quit editing your comment after the fact. Also, please see Sliggy's comment. -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 16:22, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
 * This is precisely why I added a special warning. But be my guest, rub it in, and dance on my body ;-) I respect Sliggy's opinions, they do not cancel the prize she won, only belittle it a bit. And of course I completely respect this majority decision; there are pros and cons to anything. A pity of all the work I invested in this well balanced article, but never mind. Next time better!

 * Delete wrote a column in a student run newspaper, and fell for a hoax. Whilst a student, won a "Mark of Excellence" at a regional level in the "Radio Daily Newscast" category. Common sense, let alone the biographic notability guidelines, indicate that this person has not (yet) achieved significance or notability. Sliggy 00:36, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
