Virginia Ironside

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Marginal WP:BLP figure. Doesn't appear to be a very prominent journalist, or there would have been third-party coverage before her controversial comments. This BLP cannot exist in a neutral manner.  Grsz 11  16:52, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. These 386 books constitute third-party coverage from before the recent kerfuffle, including this entry in a print encyclopedia published by an academic publisher. Phil Bridger (talk) 13:36, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep What? The Virginia Ironside?  It is quite trivial to find sources which testify to her notability. For example, Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine calls her "a well-known journalist and agony aunt" before going on to discuss her family history.  This is like deleting Oprah.
