Ruth McDonald[edit]

dismally fails WP:BIO and WP:ENT, gets zero coverage for her supposed acting career, only coverage is for being the wife of Andrew Strauss under her married name Ruth Strauss. [1], WP:NOTINHERITED applies here. LibStar (talk) 14:16, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and move to Ruth Strauss. Meets WP:N. Why is coverage under her married name (and the name she uses in her profession now) somehow not worthy of supporting her independent notability? Using words like "dismally" "supposed" and "zero" when discussing a BLP article probably isn't necessary either. -- Mattinbgn\^talk 02:13, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

there is close to no coverage for her acting career, being married to someone notable is not automatically notable. WP:NOTINHERITED, can you provide evidence of notability that doesn't make reference to Andrew Strauss? LibStar (talk) 02:18, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

From a new Google news search of Ruth Strauss [2], all I've found is 3 articles that mention this Ruth Strauss [3], [4], [5], all of them in the context of being married to Andrew Strauss the cricketer, can you tell me honestly she would get a mention if she was not married to Andrew? She may have an acting career but it's far from notable by Wikipedia standards. I see no way she meets WP:ENT, WP:BIO LibStar (talk) 12:33, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
