Tasha Harris

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This is a Curriculum Vitæ, a Resumé, a LinkedIn profile. Wikipedia is not the place to attempt to place any of these things. In addition I have strong doubts that this person has any inherent notability. When they do a neutral article here is wholly appropriate, just not at present.

 * I'm not Tasha Harris, and I have no connection to her at all. JenniBees (talk) 20:54, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Whether you are or are not is unimportant. The style of the article is what prompted the discussion for deletion. 20:57, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I fail to see how it looks like a resume. I followed the article on Tim Schafer as a template. And as for notability, she won two awards at the Women in Gaming Awards at the 2011 Game Developers Conference: one in art and one for "Rising Star".  The game she developed, Costume Quest, won "Best Downloadable Game" at the 2010 Spike Video Game Awards and "PSN Game of the Year 2010" from PlayStation: The Official Magazine.  She was also the lead animator on Brütal Legend, which was praised for its facial animation.  JenniBees (talk) 09:28, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep - I believe the subject is notable and that it is sufficiently established by the sourcing. While the article doesn't strike me as outrageously advert-like, it may have minor NPOV issues.  However AfD is not clean-up; if there are issues, they need to be fixed, simply.   Salvidrim!   20:27, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - More references were added since the page was started, better showing notability. The article has also been removed of weasel words and re-formatted a bit so the NPOV are cleaned up now as well. JenniBees (talk) 00:35, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep per improvements during AfD. And the multiple wins and noms suggest that the subject passes WP:ANYBIO.Cavarrone (talk) 13:35, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete I've looked through the references and do not see any that meet the WP:NOTABILITY standard of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Many of the references do not even mention Tasha Harris. Neither does this meet the WP:ANYBIO standard of "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor" as the "Women in Gaming Awards at the 2011 Game Developers Conference" is not a well-known and significant award.

 * The Game Developers Conference awards are definitely well-known and significant, as are the Spike Video Game Awards. She created Costume Quest, which had a lot of media attention as I linked in the article.  The media attention makes her meet the WP:BIO criteria #3 for creative professionals: "The person has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work, or collective body of work, that has been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews."

 * Comment I am content that sufficient references exist in the article now to validate the notability of the person (0.9 probability), though I'd prefer more mainstream secondary sources I appreciate that this is not always the case. I would not have nominated the article for deletion in its current state. I thus withdraw my nomination. However I understand that that simply removes my opinion from the consensus, and that a full consensus should still be built. From my perspective my withdrawn nomination places me as neutral in this discussion. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 20:26, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
