Local television anchors do not warrant individual Wiki pages. Write_On_1983  talk  |  contribs  02:01, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment there are 1,370 Google hits for that exact name. How "local" can this anchor be? Mermaid from the Baltic Sea 02:03, 28 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep. The page is about an award-winning veteran Pittsburgh news anchor. Kd lvr 17:21, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article lists several awards that she received. --Eastmain 02:44, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep numerous statewide awards indicate notability. This looks like another WP:IDONTLIKEIT from the nominator. DarkAudit 03:42, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as unsourced and copyvio. These KDKA pages are barely more than cut-and-paste jobs from KDKA's own site. I still feel nom and Trey need better reasoning for their position, though. DarkAudit 04:30, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable but could use some expansion and cleanup.-- Pre ston  H (Review Me!) •  (Sign Here!) 05:48, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Keep This woman is a great news anchor. One of, if not, the the best in Pittsburgh. Also, Wikipedia is an online Encyclopedia and I'm pretty sure that you find people in an Encyclopedia. Kdkatpir2 17:39, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete -- All of the information on this entry can be found on the station's Web site. Nothing about this entry is unqiue.  Just because this anchor is on television doesn't mean she warrants a page.  --  Write_On_1983   talk  |  contribs  18:54, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete it seems as only KDKA's people have wiki pages. Strong Delete, per nom -- TREYWiki  21:04, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - Keep I think if more information is gatered about Patrice King Brown, than the page should not be deleted. She is a great news anchor; I don't understand why someone who has won this many awards and has so much experience doesn't deserve a simple Wikipedia page. 172.144.170.140 21:07, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and New Pictures - Again, not a paragraph like some pages and new pictures are needed. I think the pictures used are close to being in violation of fair use. - SVRTVDude (VT) 21:15, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. I agree with the nomination, and I want to ask seriously what our guidelines are for inclusion of local media personalities.  Several people have mentioned the awards this anchor has won---but who gave out those awards, and are those organizations themselves notable?  What are the standards for media and press awards in the area of local news in small and medium sized markets?  I cannot claim to know, but I think we should find out before claiming that is reason enough for articles of this type to be kept.  As I said earlier, all the cheerleading for KDKA aside, what is notable about a local news anchor? ---Charles 21:49, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep User:TREYWiki keeps posting that "only KDKA's people have wiki pages," and, as this has nothing whatsoever to do with AfD, I say keep all articles TREYWiki votes to delete because "only KDKA's people have wiki pages." Here's an example of a non-KDKA person with a wiki page: Charles Darwin.  Another: Henry Kissinger.  KP Botany 00:49, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comments I mean in newscasting. Charles Darwin is extreamly notable. Newscasters are not. Especally when a sockpuppeteer and his sock are making most of the comments and votes. -- TREYWiki  00:58, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Please provide a link to the Wikipedia policy page which states "newscasters are not notable." And, while you're searching for it, check this out, [] (American television news anchors).  Please do take the sock puppetry accusations to the right page, though, as sock puppets are incredibly boring. KP Botany 01:58, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I may be boring at times, but I'm no one's sock puppet. :P DarkAudit 03:26, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Question :What I would like to know is why can't more information be gathered on this journalist so her page can be expanded?Kd lvr 14:03, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Please see The Proposed Community Ban for Kd lvr and Kdkatpir2. Think of their comments invalid. -- TREYWiki  15:15, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Reply I'm going to have to take what you say with a grain of salt as long as you claim Jessica Savitch and Barbara Walters] are non-notables who should not have Wikipedia articles. KP Botany 18:27, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I think you are trolling. I have never said all TV newspeople are not notable. Are they nominated for AfD? No. You are the one playing games. -- TREYWiki  18:35, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - notable enough. Metamagician3000 23:33, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep as this is a notable news anchor. Expand with details of past experience, though. Examples of news reporters with articles include Ross Becker, Ric Romero, Gary Papa. Just because the article is crummy now doesn't mean that it could get better in the future. Calwatch 03:57, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment The proposed community ban has been withdrawn by its originator who opted for an RFCU which was returned as a negative to the accusation of sock puppetry and declined for further review due to lack of evidence. These accusations have been withdrawn or proven false.  KP Botany 04:00, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
