Marion Kent

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable person from the distant past who isn't mentioned anywhere on the internet that I can tell except for an Oxford Dictionary article where she is used as an example of a category. Sdkb (talk) 04:16, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep A quick google search shows 6 books with information about Marion Kent, not including the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. References and additional information can easily be added to the article. RebeccaGreen (talk) 04:46, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment There are books that reference people named Marion Kent, but all of those seem to be referring to people in the 1800s or 1900s. This article is about someone who died in 1500. On some further Googling, she does seem to be mentioned in three books, but I'm not sure whether any of them would count for GNG as a non-trivial mention. - Sdkb (talk) 05:08, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Comment I googled "Marion Kent" 1478. All the references I found were definitely about the subject of the article. RebeccaGreen (talk) 05:40, 21 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep. A DNB entry has always been seen as an indicator that an individual has sufficient notability for Wikipedia per WP:ANYBIO #3. Our inclusion criteria are far wider than theirs. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:19, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:ANYBIO #3, as argued above, and the availability of additional sourcing. Multiple scholarly publications comment upon Marion Kent as an unusual case for her society and time period. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 16:56, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Being a person from the distant past who isn't mentioned on the internet seems a particularly strong reason for having an article. Anyway, the claim is wrong. ODNB (on the internet) has a lot more information and I found a book on Google books with a paragraph about her and several other books with mentions. (Try "marion kent" "york" -"new york" in Google books). Passes GNG anyway. Thincat (talk) 17:18, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
