Delete. I cannot see any criteria for notability to pass WP:Prof or WP:GNG. I also support the subject's alleged request to delete. Xxanthippe (talk) 03:14, 22 November 2023 (UTC).[reply]

Delete. Agree 100%. Please delete. MaskedSinger (talk) 07:50, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as requested, and probably doesn't meet notability guidelines in any event. --Mvqr (talk) 12:36, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and Salt. Subject Julie Young is not likely to want this recreated. Any future article about a similarly-named person should require more than "Julie Young" for a title. — Maile (talk) 23:49, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This is not how article titling on Wikipedia works. Jahaza (talk) 00:30, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I am sorry this BLP was ever created. There was never a pass of notability, the subject did not consent to it and was sufficiently distressed by it to ask for it to be deleted. Xxanthippe (talk) 21:33, 23 November 2023 (UTC).[reply]
Delete. In addition to the subject requesting deletion, the subject does not appear to meet any of the notability guidelines and lacking in significant coverage. nf utvol (talk) 21:39, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Florida Virtual School, the topic for which Young is notable. She's often mentioned in coverage of the school during the time that she was principal (and founder) including in the New York Times[1] I'm not saying the NY Times coverage makes her notable, I'm suggesting that we should cover her in the article about the school so that people looking for more info about her can find it). The school was large and attracted significant media attention under her leadership.

I found a profile of her specifically in a magazine. Vogel, Mike (September 2011). "Principal entrepreneur: how a restless assistant principal built the nation's leading online public school". Florida Trend. 54 (6): 64–70. Retrieved 22 November 2023. and another Reason (magazine) article where she gets four paragraphs: Mangu-Ward, Katherine (2010). "Teachers Unions vs. Online Education". Reason. 42 (4): 44–50. Retrieved 22 November 2023. Jahaza (talk) 00:43, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I forgot two other sources I found the other day. First, in the book Saving Schools: From Horace Mann to Virtual Learning by Paul Peterson there's a chapter titled "Julie Young and the Promise of Technology" although I haven't been able to access the chapter itself[2]. Additionally, looking at an archived version of Sherri Ackerman's article "Julie Young, longtime Florida Virtual School leader, is stepping down" in its original format on what was then an online periodical called redefinED about education in Florida, it looks like a piece of substantial journalistic coverage to me [3]. I think a case could be made towards keep (and I suspect if we had better Florida newspaper access from the time she was the principal that would help), but I'm happy with merge.

Delete Doesn't meet BLP GNG ~~~~ Cgallagher2121 (talk) 04:56, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. BUT I will say requesting page takedown sounds like reverse COI, buy noworries, nom sent.
