Rebecca Alexander (businesswoman)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I have had a look at some sources that are available and I'm interested to see what people's thoughts are.


 * New York Times - easily the most significant coverage on this person currently
 * W Week - the article is focused on Alexander but the article almost entirely piggy backs off the NY Times one
 * Yes - describes one of her projects as "the first free, exclusively plus-size stock photo library" so a possible claim to notability there
 * Fast Company - not sig cov
 * Auto Straddle - seems to be a promotional/paid for article
 * Katu - very brief

If people are not in favour of deletion then it might be worth considering moving the article to AllGo as Alexander doesn't appear to be notable for anything other than the app that she has created. She appears to fail WP:GNG and WP:ANYBIO. Spiderone 23:04, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:BARE - she technically passes WP:SIGCOV with three good sources. Bearian (talk) 19:31, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep, moving to AllGo wouldn't quite make sense as she's also known for the stock-photo project and the sources are really more about her than her projects. Passes SIGCOV. The article does need to be improved to demonstrate that notability though. --Paul &#10092;talk&#10093; 13:28, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep, agree with both points, I would also add that there are significant amount of other sources that could be added to the article. It just needs to be rewritten and put a stub label on it, which I included below. It also passes notability guidelines, because there are independent reviews of the book she authored. - Juju (talk) 14:41, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
