Violet Coco

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

as per WP:BLP1E, she is only known for her disruption of the Sydney Harbour Bridge which resulted in lots of coverage in December 2022. Her subsequent trial is related to this event. LibStar (talk) 06:53, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep - I am of the view the subject of this article firmly goes beyond BLP1E. A quick Google search would have shown that Coco is continuing to feature in the media for her activism and clearly unrelated to the Harbour Bridge event, e.g. this Guardian Article featuring event in Western Australia. The original incident has prompted a wide-ranging discussion (not just in New South Wales but a number of states) on the right to protest and whether state laws imprisoning someone for doing so are too harsh.

 * Keep (as article creator) She is notable for at least two events, and I've just updated the article to illustrate that. Also, for WP:BLP1E to direct us towards making this an event article (which is what it does for people notable for one event) the subject would  also  need to be "a low-profile individual (defined here) and yet she is a "high profile" activist. The multiple reliable sources providing significant coverage prove the subject meets WP:GNG and the coverage is sustained, ongoing, and international in nature, provoking commentary beyond just the event, but about the wider more complex issue of protesting, freedom of expression, public safety etc. CT55555 (talk) 23:16, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. BLP1E only applies if all three conditions are met:
 * If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event. - maybe met
 * If that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual. - probably not met; she appears to actively seek publicity
 * If the event is not significant or the individual's role was either not substantial or not well documented. - not met; she was central to the event, and the event is sufficiently significant that it's still being written about a year later.

 * Keep. Although the Protest Law coverage involving Coco is a result of the Harbour Bridge protest, the Protest Law issue is significant in itself. Therefore coverage goes beyond WP:BLP1E.Spinifex&#38;Sand (talk) 05:55, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
