Delete - Violates WP:GA, WP:CITE, and WP:NOTE. Most citations are tabloid articles that do not provide any certifiable notability outside of sensationalism. Most citations are either repeats or are just poorly written. 2dFx (talk) 22:56, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Much as I would like to remove this woman from the planet, never mind Wikipedia, I cannot but recognise the fact that she is a fairly regular and high-profile commentator on several national television programmes. I am no expert on bio notability guidelines here on wiki, I'd be the first to admit, but I would've thought that this in itself is sufficient. She has also had a presence in politics if that article's sources are anything to go by. The article may need a re-word but outside of that, this article should stay.

Keep – as there are 389 ghits on the bbc site alone, ranging from 2007 to 2013, her notability seems beyond question. Oculi (talk) 00:14, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep The large number of refs immediately show widespread presence. Yes, most of them are from tabloids but that's just a reflection of her tabloid-type, populist persona.--A bit iffy (talk) 04:51, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - as per Pigduck Atlas-maker (talk) 12:46, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I came across the article as I was looking for some background on her as she's had significant news coverage today (Google News [1]). Given this, I think she is notable enough to merit an article. davidprior ^t/_c 14:56, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
