Run-of-the-mill WP:BLP1E, woman gets news buzz for dating multiple men to get free dinners. An otherwise private person, non-celebrity, news coverage has completely fallen off the map, so no enduring notability. Just like the woman who walked into a pool while texting or a billion other 1E examples, there is no justification for the retention of this type of article.

  • Strong Keep Otherwise private except for the interview she gave with Good Morning America. CallawayRox (talk) 19:19, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Giving interviews does not overcome 1E guidelines. In many cases, multiple interviews or even book tours are not enough. Show us why this person is notable beyond the one event. Tarc (talk) 22:28, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • I agree that she seems to be a classic case of BLP1E, but this content could perhaps be usefully merged to an appropriate section of Match.com. --Arxiloxos (talk) 23:38, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment I WP:PRESERVED the article by merging it as proposed. CallawayRox (talk) 17:25, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • And I have removed that nonsense from the match.com article. This was the action of an individual person who simply picked this particular dating website to do what she did. The match.com proprietors are not in any way responsible for this situation, and to my knowledge no reliable sources lay blame on them either. Tarc (talk) 18:27, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete WP:NOTNEWS is an understatement; going out on multiple dates to get free food and beverages isn't newsworthy in the least. And so she got interviewed on GMA; alot of people get an interview on that show, but it doesn't lock up Wiki-notability. Nate • (chatter) 04:17, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Yep, this is pretty much a textbook case of NOTNEWS, plain and simple.--Yaksar (let's chat) 03:18, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
