I am unconvinced that being mentioned in a couple of national media stories circa 2007-2008 is sufficient grounds for notability according to our policies and guidelines. (She is not really the subject of the articles concerned, so I think "mentions" is a fairer description.) TheGrappler (talk) 02:59, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete - coverage in national news sources, but as you say, not particularly substantially so. Probably fails WP:BIO. AdventurousSquirrel (talk) 03:17, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Lack of general coverage, there is also no substantial evidence that she did anything relevant to the feminist movement context. Even though she is a member of a notable company or organization, notability is not inherit spirally downwards or upwards, twice a mention in the Daily Telegraph is also NOT notable enough to pass GNG, she needs more coverage, also the articles are only mention, not about her.

Keep - We've been through this before, anybody who has come to the attention of the national media on a number of occasions over a number of years is notable. Unknown Unknowns (talk) 08:53, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete I don't think there are enough sources to be notable. The first Telegraph article has a few quotes, but interviews aren't considered reliable sources where people are quoted without evidence of fact-checking. The second Telegraph article only has a small section which largely repeats the first article. Possibly Shoreditch WI could be mentioned in a more general article on Women's Institutes or knitting, but Mellor herself wouldn't be getting coverage if it wasn't for her father's identity, and notability isn't inherited. Unknown Unknowns mentions coverage over a number of years, but I'd expect that to mean more than 24 April 2008-16 May 2009, and the coverage still has to be substantial. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:13, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
