Donna D'Allison[edit]

This person may not meet WP:BIO standards, and even WP:V, but if people can verify this, then it won't be deleted. Hence the nomination. Gloyne 10:53, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. A small time theif is not worthy of an article. - SpLoT / (talk) 10:54, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. She got attention on radio and TV in the UK, even the press - she's notable. --SimonTheFox 10:57, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Where, exactly? Gloyne mentions our Wikipedia:Verifiability policy. The article cites no sources and I for one cannot find any mention of this person. So please cite these press articles that you say exist. They don't turn up in any of the usual searches. BBC News has never heard of this person, for example. In fact, this person garners the magic zero hits on all Google searches. Uncle G 14:23, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I think Donna's fifteen minutes ran out some time ago. Also, the picture is a blatant copyvio.BTLizard 11:47, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Delete "National attention"? I missed that 15 minutes. But consider this. According to the article she was under 18 when convicted. This means she would have been tried in a Youth Court. Restrictions on reporting from Youth Courts mean that the press may not report details including the name of a juvenile who is a defendant or witness in any proceedings before the youth court or any other details including the printing of a photograph which would identify him or her. (Information from the Magistrates' Court Guide). So this article is either a lie or a criminal offence. Emeraude 12:03, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - the birthdate is fixed, she was born in 1980 not 1986. --SimonTheFox 12:12, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Donna was born in 1980, not 1986 as stated - this error is fixed. She is notable, visit 96 Trent FM's website. --Pajnax 12:26, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • See my earlier note above. I have just received this in my talk box: "The birthdate of her has been fixed, so your comments on the AFD while worthwhile, were slightly off-the-point. --Pajnax 12:26, 24 October 2006 (UTC)" Now then, User:pajnax, according to his user page is "Range High school student.... 16 yrs old! /Briefsism" That's it in full. I vaguelt remember briefsism being deleted a week or so ago. I leave others to decide, but I think we are dealing with adolescent angst here, not encyclopaedic integrity.

  • Strong delete - this appears to be hoax vandalism; at best it is unverifiable and non-notable and could be speedied as A7. Note that the picture added to the article is sourced from here [1] and is actually of a Canadian model named Sabrina D'Amour. -Big Smooth 15:15, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
