Completing nomination for Fivestarfluff, whose rationale was posted at the original AFD (here), and is included verbatim below. This appears to be the second AFD on this subject. On the merits, I have no opinion. Note that I'm transcluding this on 22 April, so I'd ask the closing admin to proceed accordingly (and ignore the 20 April date on the nomination below). Thanks.

Fails wp:bio has been nominated several times before but nothing seemed to happen. Advertising as others have mentioned. WP:BASIC has not been met and sources include blogs that lack fact checking. Stevies only possible reference but not enough for "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded" Fivestarfluff (talk) 16:18, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

New to this editing thing so forgive me if I'm flunking protocols by posting this, but found this delete notice when I looked Clarke up after hearing her on CBC radio today, and I was rather shocked by the thought it would be removed. I think she's at least as notable if not more than say, Olav Klokk, who came up in my random article link press! Even if the Americans on here don't know the Canadian media outlets noted are a big deal, surely the webby honour counts for something? - Bob — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.162.75.254 (talk) 23:46, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, MBisanz ^talk 00:24, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's very difficult for me to understand how this page could be listed for deletion. This woman has been nominated for a very large number of awards, won several, been profiled in many places, the company she founded employs over 100 people and has been characterized as a "massively successful international business", and a quick web search demonstrates she's considered an expert in her field because she's been interviewed and profiled in so many places (e.g. here, here, here, and here). Just because someone's been nominated for and won a ton of awards doesn't mean that a page that documents them is promotional. When I did some looking around on the web I quickly found (and added) two more.Ckyba (talk) 19:59, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to edit the article as much as you are able, particularly to add as many references as you can. Do be careful, however - one of the main concerns that I took from the nomination was that the sources already in the article were lacking - and, when I see websites like flickr and PR Newswire, I tend to agree. Some of the sources you list here are blogs, which don't qualify as reliable sources. News coverage would be preferable, if you can find some. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 20:53, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Note that the flickr link is actually a scan of a magazine article, which I presume is a reliable source. Since I don't have a copy of the actual publication I can't cite it directly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ckyba (talk • contribs) 20:18, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
