Pam Seatle

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

PROD removed because of the first nomination (see Articles for deletion/Hugh Burrill where it was included) which is clearly not applicable to today's Wikipedia and I still confirm my original PROD here]. I can certainly imagine that the only still active AfDer would've changed his perspective of these articles so I'm certainly welcoming his analysis. SwisterTwister  talk  06:47, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

 * I haven't changed my perspective in the least: In 2007 I said Keep all I'd support a speedy/SNOW close, so they can be listed properly. I thought then and think now that even for articles as minimal as this was at the time, it is always possible that for one of more of the mass nomination there will be additional information available. And, looking at the present article, even if had had been deleted in 2007 on the basis of the proper nomination that should have followed up on the  mass AfD, it would still need a new AfD because everything listed in the present article is after that date. I haven't checked yet, however.(And I also note that almost all the other articles from that AfD need further checking: in most cases, nothing substantial seems to be have been added).

 * Delete - has wrote many news articles, but is not the subject of any reliable sources that I can find. If anyone can find sources, then I'd be glad to reconsider and help expand the article. Ajraddatz (talk) 06:49, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia's inclusion and sourcing rules are much stricter now than they were at the time of the first discussion. At the time, an AFD on a television or radio journalist could easily be swayed keepward as long as the journalist in question had a staff profile on the website of the media outlet they worked for — but we're now much stricter about what constitutes a valid notability claim for a journalist in the first place, and what counts as valid sourcing to support it, than we were in 2007. And even at the time, the discussion hinged not at all on any evidence of her (or anyone else's) actual notability — it landed entirely on the fact that it was a sloppy bundling of topics who weren't all equivalent and needed to be considered as individuals. But separate renominations mostly never happened, so her actual suitability as an article topic was never actually assessed at all. Under the rules that pertain now, nothing written or sourced here cuts it in the slightest, and all I can find for other sourcing in ProQuest is glancing namechecks of her existence rather than substantive coverage about her.

 * Delete Seatle is a run of the mill local news reporter. Nothing to distinguish her from many other such people.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:26, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
