With all due respect to the departed soul. I do not find the subject meeting WP:ANYBIO or WP:GNG. All of the coverage available online are about her recent death. WP:BIO1E and WP:NOTNEWS also apply. Hitro talk 19:04, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I'm not finding any coverage other than of the suicide, and some of those articles are really about the risks of lasik. Honestly I hope we delete before her family discovers she's got a Wikipedia page, and then discovers that it's been deleted. They don't need that. valereee (talk) 19:26, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete — Out of respect more than anything else. This is an easy one event violation and Wikipedia is not a newspaper.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 21:15, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not notable, and her death, while tragic, doesn't change that. sixtynine ^{• whaddya want? •} 08:15, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge or something Makes sense as an example in LASIK#Risks (which currently doesn't mention suicide at all), but less so as a standalone meterologist bio. Then again, Dick Fletcher's reference list looks a lot like hers (two morbid, one independent), which shouldn't matter per WP:OTHERSTUFF, but kind of does. Maybe delete them both?

Comment The incident is notable, but the person is not. I propose that the pertinent details about the incident be transferred to a new article about the incident while this article is deleted. NoCOBOL (talk) 08:30, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I like @InedibleHulk:'s suggestion; despite the non-notability of the subject itself (meteorologist articles on Wikipedia already corner the market in peacock content), this is the first time I've ever heard of suicide being a potential factor of LASIK side effects. However, a standalone article about the incident, regardless of subject notability, would fall under WP:NOTNEWS. sixtynine ^{• whaddya want? •} 19:21, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This whole incident violates the not news guidelines. Her death was covered as a news event, although only that because of navel gazing in the news industry. I had never heard of her until she died, and as a Detroit resident have a good sense of major figures in our area. She was not such by any stretch of the imagination.John Pack Lambert (talk) 07:05, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to WJBK or delete - not independently notability, but could be pointed to the channel she was working at at the time of coverage about her --DannyS712 (talk) 04:17, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
