Julie Scardina[edit]

Another one of these CV/resumé-tinged possible vanity biographies of a living person. Here there is assertion of notability (appearances on Tonight Show). {{nn-bio}} and {{prod}} tags both removed. Personally vote weak keep, but something of a revamping of the article is needed if that is the outcome of the debate. Hynca-Hooley 01:51, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I removed the prod, but I agree that the article could use some NPOV work and she does scrape notability. IMDB lists eight appearances on the Tonight Show and three on Rosie O'Donnell, plus one more appearance elsewhere. (And that may not be a complete list, of course.) Google has 786 hits with her name in quotes. JRP 01:58, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Obvious Keep. Appears over and over on California-based TV talk shows, particularly Tonight/Leno as ringmaster for animal acts. Monicasdude 03:19, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not everyone on Tonight Show is notable, so if I appear on a guest show, then am I notable?? --Ter e nc e Ong 05:49, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A single appearance on a guest show, perhaps not, but this person has many appearances and on different shows, which seems to me indicates notability, so keep.Bondegezou 14:51, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as non-notable. Also, Wikipedia is not a search engine for occasional TV personalties. Brian G. Crawford 03:22, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
weak delete she was on the tv shows because of the animals rather than her being notable herself (im assuming) -- Astrokey44|talk 04:31, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Shes notable, appears on many TV shows as a special guest. Mike _{(T C)} 04:49, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If everyone that appears on guest shows, then we will have more articles. They must assert some notability. --Ter e nc e Ong 05:49, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as nn-bio. --Ter e nc e Ong 05:49, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep borderline notability, but not vanity. Moe Aboulkheir 15:15, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Appearing on talk shows implies being interesting, not notable. Kuzaar 15:47, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Those appearances put her in the public eye. -- JJay 02:55, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep; not vanity, certainly notable per her Leno appearances (after all, they don't just have anyone on The Tonight Show); perhaps not as well known as Jack Hanna but definitely in the same vein. --Kinu ^t/_c 05:10, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - 733 Google hits is not notable. -- infinity0 15:54, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep She has been on a number of shows. However Astrokey44 makes a good point. Nigelthefish 20:45, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: As an aside, from a random sampling, I'm noting that a majority of the delete votes are coming from non-American editors, and the keeps are likewise coming from American editors. Just an observation, and I'm not sure of the pervasiveness or popularity of The Tonight Show in other countries, but systemic bias might need to be taken into account here, as it might be akin to me voting to delete someone who appears on a UK talk show that I don't watch regularly, about whose notability I might not have a full grasp. (Not an accusation toward anyone, of course, but simply an observation.) --Kinu ^t/_c 21:07, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
