Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Kim dolan leto

Kim Dolan Leto is a recognised authority in her field and her name is frequently searched for within Wikipedia. Currently, the searches related to her are directed to a page about a century-old professional curler: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Dolan. Therefore I believe she deserves to have her own entry.
 * Hi being a recognised authority in one's field does not make someone worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia. The person has to pass the General Notability Guidelines or we can presume notability if her field is author and she passes WP:NAUTHOR or as an athlete WP:NSPORTS etc. There has to be multiple in-depth independent coverage in reliable sources. The fact that she has a homonym that has their page is not a valid reason for inclusion. And by the way I'm sure that 58 year old Kim Dolan would be delighted that you think she is over 100...that said she fulfills the criteria WP:CURLING so merits her page. --Domdeparis (talk) 14:11, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

I would include a photo of searches done for Kim Dolan Leto Wiki but I can't upload files yet (newbie). And although I'm sure Kim would be thrilled to be confused for the famous curler, but she is a very humble person and would hate so steal the limelight from an accomplished athlete :) Domitracy (talk) 14:31, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi I'm sorry but not a single one of these links qualify as in-depth independent source. Almost every single one of them including the "review" has an identical text that starts "Achieve health the right way from the inside out! Many diet and fitness books claim that losing ten pounds in ten days will bring the health and happiness we are looking for etc etc". These are all merchant web-sites selling the book they've all got an "add to cart" button on the page except Good Reads that has 1.5 Billion books in its archives and sponsored links to merchant sites...!!!!!!

Okay @Domdeparis but how is that different to this one for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kayla_Itsines ? Kim Dolan Leto's message is actually superior to those of most fitness experts as she grounds it in faith and positive body image. But regardless of her credentials as a personal trainer, she is a published author, which would merit a wikipedia entry. I'm happy to edit the article in a way that would answer your concerns?

 * Maybe reading this essay will help WP:OTHERSTUFF. Reading this WP:NAUTHOR should help as Wikipedia is not a list of every published author that exists or has existed so she does not merit a Wikipedia entry on that basis alone.  But as you said she is very humble maybe a Wikipedia page is not the kind of thing she would like especially if she doesn't fulfill the necessary conditions.

@Domdeparis, in that case according to your own rules: The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors. - Kim Dolan Leto has 267,692 fans on Facebook alone. She has been featured by numerous publications in both fitness and Christian niches and has published her own books which have sold in hundreds of thousands. As the article states, she is recognised as notable by authorities such as ESPN, Fox Sports, Oxygen Magazine or The 700 Club, to name a few. She also has her own weekly segment on the Christian HIS Radio. I believe this more than qualifies her as an important figure.

The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique. Kim Dolan Leto created the F.I.T. concept, which stands for Faith Inspired Transformation. It's a novel concept in the fitness and weight loss industry as it introduces the element of faith to an otherwise superficial field. Domitracy (talk) 22:03, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
