Martel Maxwell

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Was recently one of three presenters of a BBC daytime TV programme. Unfortunately almost all of the coverage about Maxwell are from her employers, therefore not independent and with a vested interest to promote her. She published a novel but I can't find proof it meets WP:GNG either (the second online news interview about it was with a newspaper that is not an allowable source on Wikipedia, and a former employer anyway). Unfortunately, whatever the intial reasons were to create the article, time for it to go in my view. Sionk (talk) 10:06, 14 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep Sources such as the Radio Times and Daily Telegraph are fine for establishing notability and so the subject passes WP:BASIC. Andrew🐉(talk) 10:29, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Surely the Radio Times isn't an independent source, if Maxwell is a BBC presenter? And the short Telegraph review is about the book, not her. Sionk (talk) 11:10, 14 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Comment, FWIW the Radio Times hasn't been a BBC publication for years. Mutt Lunker (talk) 11:33, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep: review of novel by Telegraph, coverage in RT, etc. Pam  D  09:46, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Most of the references are not from her employers and where they are they are only used to verify fact not opinion. There are enough other sources to pass WP:BASIC. Nthep (talk) 15:40, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep as per other editors refs show notable.User:Davidstewartharvey
