Stephanie Biddle

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

The author contested a seconded PROD for failure to meet WP:BIO criteria with sufficient WP:RS ... the author also appears to be a WP:SOCK of the subject, who has extensively also edited the article. &mdash; The Bipolar Anon-IP Gnome (talk) 04:24, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. I tried to clean the article up and remove the possible copyvio text. I think the references (sometimes embedded in the text in the form of excerpts from reviews) are enough to establish notability. --Eastmain (talk) 06:34, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep Seems to have had coverage only in local newspapers, but as they are from multiple locations, she seems notable enough. Epbr123 (talk) 09:10, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Not noteable according to WP:MUSIC, WP:ENTERTAINER or WP:BIO. The references in the text are in parts to music and festival pages, only one to a newspaper, where she is not significantly covered. The mentions of the Miami Herald and the Montreal Gazette are not proven, and I couldn't find mention of her on those pages. Amalthea (talk) 14:20, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. A notable North-American english speaking musician should do a lot better in terms of media coverage. -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 16:54, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - This is blatant vanispamcruftisement that violates WP:COI, WP:AUTO, and WP:COPYVIO ... it's a copy&paste from the subject's own website, and it was added by the subject of the article ... Happy Editing! &mdash;  21:31, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete per WP:COPYVIO. GreenJoe 23:50, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The copyvio text was removed a couple of days ago. Epbr123 (talk) 23:57, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not sufficiently notable, her credits are for small-to-middle parts in generally small productions, and her musical credits aren't enought to convince me to keep the article, either.  There are other issues as noted in previous comments, too. PKT (talk) 01:37, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:MUSIC criterion #1. The article "Biddle bit of... a superstar" (South China Morning Post, Oct 12, 2005. p. 2) says, "The Montreal native appeared with Bruce Willis and Matthew Perry in The Whole Nine Yards, sang with Vanessa Williams in a TV version of A Christmas Carol and starred in a West African movie based on the opera Carmen." There is also a full-length (1100-word) profile of her: Perusse, B. "Stephanie Biddle carries the torch", Montreal Gazette, 30 March 2003, p. B1. There are also plenty of minor mentions of her, for her work in the film Karmen Gei, including the Vancouver Sun, the Globe and Mail and the Chicago Tribune, all in 2002. I will add these references.

 * Comment: Please do add them, as these could very well allow her to meet WP:N. A google new search for her name doesn't appear to turn up such sources. DigitalC (talk) 03:58, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the reminder. I've started, and will add more later today. But anyone who has access to archives of these newspapers is welcome to help out. :) Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 11:57, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep - The article has shown significant improvement since I initiated this AfD 4 days ago (including removal of the COPYVIO material), so I guess that it was ultimately a Good Thing ... I hereby reverse my opinion, and I withdraw the nomination for deletion. :-) &mdash; The Bipolar Anon-IP Gnome (talk) 22:33, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
