Lynn Fitch[edit]

Contested PROD: Essentially a campaign CV for a non-notable would-be candidate for state office, sourced only to her campaign website Eeekster (talk) 03:40, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not notable by Wikipedia's standards. Not only does she fail WP:POLITICIAN but language such as "Lynn has been recognized for her professionalism and leadership abilities by several organizations. She has been named one of the 50 Leading Business Women in Mississippi and to the inaugural class of Leadership in Law by the Mississippi Business Journal. In addition to these accolades, Lynn has also served as counsel for the Mississippi House of Representatives and as a special assistant attorney general in the Attorney General’s office" shows that the article as now written is entirely promotional and reeks of POV issues.

CommentIf she is one of the "50 Leading Business Women" in Mississippi, this suggests that she may be notable as a businessperson even if she isn't notable as a politician. Of course, the article would still need to be rewritten for tone. --Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 08:34, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails WP:BLP being sourced to pages closely related to the subject. You cannot get such a biography right. The remote claim to notability is allegedly from Mississippi Business Journal, but that's too local&topical of a newspaper. I suspect that if you do track that article down, 99% of the women on that list don't have a Wikipedia article, so this is not a compelling WP:ANYBIO argument.

Delete. Primary notability is as the newly-nominated GOP candidate for State Treasurer of Mississippi, but she won't be independently notable until she's elected this fall. If Mississippi general election, 2011 actually existed, we could redirect the article there, but it doesn't. -LtNOWIS (talk) 04:26, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
