TV presenter of little notability and prominence. Subject has no international recognition, if any. —James ^{(Talk • Contribs)} • 11:02am • 01:02, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as there is coverage in reliable sources under current name and also her maiden name "Gorgi Quill", and she has been a significant part of several notable TV and radio shows. "International recognition" is not required for a Wikipedia article, and its lack is not a convincing argument for deletion. Cullen328 (talk) 01:25, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment She's one of the hosts of a little know/barely notable TV program and has appeared on radio and other TV programs of notability, big deal so have other people, why don't we just create an article for every single one of them? Also, how is she of significance/importance, just having major Australian newspaper articles written on a person does not equal instant notability. —James ^{(Talk • Contribs)} • 12:27pm • 02:27, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Response I suggest that the nominator review our notability guidelines. "Barely notable" as the nominator concedes is still notable, and this encyclopedia would be better, not worse, if it had referenced articles about every notable Australian TV personality, as well as every notable person on the planet.

Keep "International recognition" is not a rationale for deletion at all. If it were there would be so many national news personalities who would be deleted just because somebody in Tajikistan never heard of Contessa Brewer or Moira Stuart. A host for a national Australian morning program with broadcast distribution easily meets notability. Nate • (chatter) 04:19, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The nomination fails to mention which criterion of Wikipedia:Notability (people) the subject fails. "no international recognition, if any" is clearly not a valid reason to delete. Neither can I parse "hosts of a little know/barely notable TV program and has appeared on radio and other TV programs of notability" for a valid reason. "having major Australian newspaper articles written on a person" seems to contradict the nomination. I suggest User:Ancient Apparition withdraw the nomination lest it snows. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 10:00, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
