Whitney Bedford

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

After two speedy deletions and subsequent recreations by the same editor, it's probably time for an AfD. There is no evidence of notability per WP:BIO and no sources beyond a couple of mentions online  freshacconci  talk talk  01:38, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete No assertion of notability. Half the article is about her education, the other just tells us where her paintings can be seen and purchased.Northwestgnome (talk) 04:01, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. The article isn't much more than a vanity piece. I found no significant coverage or her whatsoever, just this interview on a blog. Drmies (talk) 05:08, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's a legitimate entry about an internationally renown artist. Acclaimed ArtReview magazine would agree: http://www.artreview.com/group/futuregreats/forum/topic/show?id=1474022%3ATopic%3A34667 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.243.43.193 (talk) 05:30, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete "100 Future Greats"? We don't have crystal balls (mine are solid adamantium!). So, we wait until Whitney is a real, notable, Great (with capital "G" and all) before we have her bio, because (repeat after me) Potential Notability Is Not Notability (as all those deleted football prospects have shown). In the meantime, tell Whitney to not lose all that talent and potential, we will all be biting our nails awaiting that her career takes off to the point that she can earn that most elusive of all intertubes prizes, a wikipedia BLP! Not now, though. Sorry. Thanks!--Cerejota (talk) 10:06, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Note that that was the 2005 future greats list, with a ton of names. The fact that this person isn't otherwise listed as great anywhere only proves that that particular crystal ball failed.DreamGuy (talk) 19:51, 27 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete -- no notability established. Basically free advertising as it stands now. DreamGuy (talk) 19:51, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
