Example of WP:BLP1E. No coverage outside of that one single event. Delete. JudgeJason (talk) 12:49, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep this article passed the AfC process, so has already been vetted at a pretty high level. The subject of the article is and has been active locally, including founding an organization chapter. Local coverage does count towards GNG. When people look her up because of the Sanders incident,  I want them to find her on wiki, though that's my opinion.

 * Keep The claim that this is a BLP1E is without merit, as the article has local, national and international sources (KING-TV, Associated Press and International Socialist Organization respectively) from well before the Bernie Sanders incident. This was already addressed during the AFC process, as was noted by Megalibrarygirl. – Brianhe (talk) 22:20, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. If this is one event, which one? We have Ferguson and Seattle references. Jacona (talk) 14:34, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - Even though she was involved in other activities, she is only notable for the Sanders interuption, so this article still fails WP:BLP1E. Anything else she was involved in fails WP:N. --Millionsandbillions (talk) 20:02, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. She's not notable just for Sanders incident, but for her activism in movements such as Black Lives Matter. WP:BLP1E applies to low-profile individuals. As a leader in a national civil rights movement, she is not low-profile. Fuzchia (talk) 21:16, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment I added a citation where a respectable commentator called the BLM role in national politics, due in large part to Johnson's actions, as the most important news story of 2015. Brianhe (talk) 00:08, 27 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete, article consists of a handful of anecdotes, no evidence of being a national political leader. --Soman (talk) 22:56, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment You are incorrectly conflating notable with "national political leadership", but even so, Johnson has been amply demonstrated to be noted by multiple independent sources as a key figure in a highly visible national political movement. This has also been judged by other Wikipedians by her inclusion as one of seven BLM people at Black Lives Matter since November. – Brianhe (talk) 00:15, 27 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Black Lives Matter which covers the Sanders' disruption. I checked Google books and not surprisingly found nothing there.  I looked at a couple of articles from the Seattle Times.  One from 10 August said, "Not much is yet publicly known about Johnson", and the one from 15 August said, "Johnson talked briefly to The Seattle Times last week, but did not get back in touch for an interview..."  This is covered both by WP:TOOSOON and WP:EFFECT.  Unscintillating (talk) 03:52, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
