Vanessa George

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

The article fails WP:BLP1E; the subject is only described in reliable sources in terms of this child molestation event or the individual parts of the event and therefore cannot have a standalone article on Wikipedia. NW ( Talk ) 11:43, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. The subject will clearly pass WP:GNG (notability was the reason given for the contested prod), as the conviction was front page news in the UK recently; however this was mainly on the basis of the nature of the crimes themselves rather than the likelihood of long-term significance. A bio on this person fails WP:BLP1E, coverage of the event would likely fail WP:NOTNEWS. Cassandra 73 (talk) 12:46, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Fails WP:BLP1E, WP:PERP.  It might be useful to look at the entries in Category:Convicted British child molesters - everyone on that list is either notable for other reasons (Gary Glitter, Jonathan King), or because their crimes were much more serious than Ms George's (Fred West, Sidney Cooke).

 * Delete One of a thousand people dies of murder (in USA). We can not have an article on every murderer. Much less rapists and sexual abusers. Put 'em in jail, yes, but don't give 'em WP articles. Steve Dufour (talk) 05:35, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete although it is worth noting that this created a brief flurry of media, political and police attention to abuse by females, a rather underestimated problem AFAIK. I still don't think that's enough, but I thought I'd throw that out there for consideration. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 11:50, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. A relevant guideline would be WP:Notability (criminal acts), I don't think she passes the guidelines for perpetrators of crimes. However, I do find it likely that an article on the case would be found to pass notability guidelines. Coverage of this case and the investigation is still generating headlines five months after the first reports. Fences  &amp;  Windows  01:18, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - I feel we should have an article on the crimes themselves, even if we don't have one about Vanessa George, as the case has been very notable. Rapido (talk) 20:20, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. If the case is of permanent interest to those concerned with the subject it can be written up in more general articles based on the news of the trial.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 06:37, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
