Puff piece article about minor event planner that fails WP:BIO. Simply not notable enough for WP scope_creep (talk) 13:16, 15 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This woman’s preservation of New York City’s historical architecture is noteworthy even if achieved by the arcane enterprises of a small business event planning operation, which is otherwise not noteworthy and where her opportunity to engage even at this is because of a privileged upper class upbringing. This article could easily be edited to remove any promotion of the event planning. A compromise would be to incubate the article until other Wikipedia editors have an opportunity to edit out any promotion of the underlying business. 64.134.102.201 (talk) 02:48, 26 August 2013 (UTC)Tammytoons[reply]

  • Delete. Blumin is listed on page xvii of the book Power Sleep as one of a handful of research assistants, so her role in writing the book is not notable. Her career as a meeting planner is even less notable. Fails WP:GNG and WP:BASIC. Binksternet (talk) 19:24, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • The book Power Sleep has Blumin's name on the cover along with the names of other contributing research assistants. Their names are very small while the name of James Maas is very large. Maas is the writer, the others are not co-writers but contributing writers. This is a much smaller role than co-writer.
  • I am not the book industry, so take this with a grain of salt. I was disproving your assumption that she must had a small role because she was on page "xvii" with a "handful" of other assistants. I looked at the picture of the cover, it didn't seem like a handful of assistants on the cover. There is no basis for saying someone didn't have an important role based on title alone.
  • Your link to "Setting Stages Fit for Bond" from WSJ April 2013 is good. There are three paragraphs devoted to Blumin. We need another source like that to satisfy WP:GNG. I could not view your second WSJ article link, so I have no idea how much coverage is dedicated to Blumin. Perhaps you can quote the article's relevant parts.

  • I think you need to be member of WSJ to read. Bloomberg was quoted on same issue.

Jennifer Blumin, president at the Skylight Group, which renovates industrial spaces for high-end events and photo shoots, said clients are drawn to an ambiance of New York's history they don't find in spaces such as Lincoln Center."It gives a little bit of a sense of timelessness," she said. "When you're showing next spring's collection six months before, there's still a connection to times past, and the history of New York. That's something that the tents at Lincoln Center will never be able to do." Mayor Michael Bloomberg praised both parts of his city, noting that Lincoln Center is a "fantastic home for Fashion Week." He also said: "Downtown has always been synonymous with cool, so it's no surprise that people are looking to those neighborhoods."
