This article is highly promotional; many claims contained in it do not appear in the source material, and there are no inline references. I do not believe the subject passes WP:N. AlexTiefling (talk) 23:49, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Girl Scout Cookies#Sales as she's obviously best known for her time with the Girl Scouts with my searches finding multitude links here and here but nothing to suggest solid independent notability. SwisterTwister talk 04:37, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Is this a Merge proposal? AlexTiefling (talk) 21:26, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not, it's probably better as a simple redirect as the current info at Girl Scout Cookies suffices, I think. SwisterTwister talk 00:37, 20 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Numerous sources here but I agree article seems WAY too long, please trim 90% of the fat; basically should only be a few lines saying EB holds record. If article is not trimmed maybe it should be merged as above.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 22:41, 21 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep Has good coverage, as above, but a lot of work needs to be done to use these in the article matching sources to unsourced statements and removal of information that goes into too much depth without reliable sources, which I have started. If it comes down to it I also support merging to Girl Scout Cookies#Sales but more than a few sentences as some information relates to her record being beaten. — Jordan Mussi ^Talk 16:36, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or merge -sourcing is great. Bearian (talk) 20:05, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Girl Scout Cookies#Sales, as that is what she is chiefly known for. If kept, the article needs a complete rewrite because it reads more or less as hagiography at the moment. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 03:42, 4 July 2015 (UTC).[reply]
Keep or Merge. There's no doubt the sources are sufficient, but this is written more like a promotional essay than an encyclopedia article. If kept as a stand-alone article, needs a lot of editing for style and trimmed to a fraction of the current size. But, a merge to Girl Scout Cookies isn't out of the question either. -- RoySmith (talk) 12:00, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
