Not notable. Assertion of notability founded on establishment of "WINGS". Refs fail to establish that notability. Other refs are very peripheral or, in some case, make no mention of the article subject. Velella ^{Velella Talk} 13:36, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Non-notable advertising. Claret Ash 13:56, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Weak refs and tenuous claims unfortunately seem to be typical of the work of this sockfarm. EyeSerene^talk 22:17, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Per nom and above related article. Doc talk 06:11, 9 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note - I see that she has been mentioned in newspapers and such, so she may be notable enough for an article, in which case I would change my vote. Doc talk 00:15, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I lean to delete, but the article does include some claims that, if verified, might suggest a case for notability. In particular I note the mentions of the Jefferson Awards for Public Service and the Order of the Palmetto. I haven't been able to confirm the fact or the circumstances of the Jefferson Award: some of those awards are quite significant, others in the local categories maybe not so much. (I did find a source indicating she was one of several dozen nominated for a local award in 2007.[1] If that's all there is, it's clearly not enough.) There are a number of sources to confirm the Palmetto, but I haven't found a list of recent recipients so I am not sure just how many of these the governor currently hands out each year.--Arxiloxos (talk) 17:31, 9 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Dunno if this article helps, maybe? It says, "Ginny Deerin was honored with the Order of the Palmetto at a special celebratory luncheon this past Tuesday, December 7, at High Cotton restaurant in downtown Charleston." And has a picture of the woman receiving some type of award. [2] Hope that helps.

Keep. You might see from my comments above here that I've been watching this article for some time now. In my opinion, the subject easily satisfies the WP:N for people. She has been mentioned in multiple, verifiable secondary sources like Skirt! magazine, The Charleston Gazette, Edutopia.org, Island Eye News (an article written entirely about Ginny Deerin receiving the Palmetto award). If this person doesn't meet WP:N, who does? — Preceding unsigned comment added by OldGeorgie (talk • contribs) 14:40, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, so what? If the subject was truly notable she would not have had to put out a classified ad for someone to write an article about her.--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 15:11, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
