Sarah-Jayne Gratton

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article created by a single purpose account, seemingly to promote Gratton (aka grattongirl) and her husband Dean Anthony Gratton (aka grattonboy). Author has been given plenty of opportunity to improve the article but continues to make it highly promotional and remove clean-up templates. Subject is a self-styled 'social media persona' and her 'notability' here relies almost entirely on WP:PRIMARY sources linked to her, or sources written by herself or her husband. She is briefly mentioned in a local newspaper article about her husband. Article is currently an advert that fails WP:GNG. Sionk (talk) 13:02, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - Highly promotional. Mostly weblinks in the body of the article (against guidelines) to promote non- notable "personality".--Amadscientist (talk) 21:16, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Unfortunately, several of the areas that she has contributed to are not notable enough for her to have her own biography. Let's take an extract of what she did in her career:
 * A columnist for Women’s Business Magazine
 * Was elected as President of the Women in Business Society
 * Has since become an influential social media persona, speaker and writer, being regularly featured in Social Media Today and other publications including In-Spires Lifestyle Magazine and blogcritics.org.
 * Was nominated for a Shorty Award in social media and is one of Twitter’s Top 75 Badass Women
 * She is listed in the Top 10 of The Sunday Times Social List; listed in the 'Top 10' most influential Twitter users in the United Kingdom as rated by Tweet Grader and is one of the 'Top Marketing Book Authors on Twitter' in Social Media Marketing Magazine.
 * Gratton was the European correspondent for the television show, You Are The Supermodel
 * The only two bluelinks are the "Shorty Award" and the "Blogcritics". Referring to the guideline on WP:ANYBIO the person has to receive the award, not just be nominated for it. Also, I don't see any evidence that she made a widely recognised contribution over on blogcritics. So according to my points of view I believe this article fails WP:BIO.

 * Delete - like her husband, I just can't see how the subject is notable. The sources are questionable at best; one is used to tenuously "reference" the word "celebrity", though it's not clear how that reference verifies the subject's celebrity status. Another is used to verify the wedding date of the two subjects in question but actually suggests they were married in 2000, while both articles say 1999. I can only imagine that someone with a close connection to the subjects has written the articles while the author of the source may have been mistaken. Either way, it makes for some pretty questionable drafting. While those aren't reasons to delete an article, it just adds to the suggestion that the article is a breach of WP:RESUME and is about a non-notable subject.
