The result was delete. Sourcing is borderline, coupled with the subject's request. Coffman has done wonderful work for which they have been recognized, but this does not appear to merit an encyclopedia article. NB in the event it matters, I don't believe I've interacted with the subject. Star Mississippi 00:40, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not convinced this meets the notability standards required by WP:BIO - aside from the few news articles referenced mentioning their Wikipedia editing, all of the searching I've done talks about the professional career of this person (or someone with the same name), and majority of those are primary sources so not able to save the article easily with a rewrite.

  • Keep, the article can be written to include a lot of other information from more independent reliable sources as per WP:BLP, though it is certainly Coffman's choice to whether retain this article or not. —CrafterNova [ TALK ]  [ CONT ] 10:16, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Source Independent? Reliable? Significant coverage? Count source toward GNG?

https://boingboing.net/2021/09/12/how-one-woman-took-on-wikipedias-nazi-fancruft.html Yes Yes Website has multiple editors and contributors ~ Despite the title, the article is more based on Wikipedia itself than Coffman ~ Partial
https://www.aish.com/ci/s/The-One-Woman-Battle-Against-Pro-Nazi-Bias-on-Wikipedia.html Yes Yes Established, professional-looking website Yes Lengthy article focusing on the subject ✔ Yes

  • Delete It is way too much navel gazing to have an article in Wikipedia on someone known only for their actions in editing Wikipedia. We should at least require a slightly larger amount of sources before we create such an article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:13, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: the only real source is WIRED, but that's insufficient. Boing Boing is based off the WIRED article, while aish.com is an interview. --K.e.coffman (talk) 18:28, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Most of the aish.com is edited, rather than quotes, so I think it can still count towards establishing notability. NemesisAT (talk) 18:43, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - except when clearly notable, when an article subject supports deletion, it's typically a good idea to err on that side. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 19:07, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, both because the subject prefers it and because it's not really about her but about Wikipedia. See WP:SELF. Bishonen | tålk 20:26, 15 February 2022 (UTC).[reply]
  • Keep: Per reasons above. Article is good enough to pass WP:BIO. ASTIG️🎉 (HAPPY 2022) 14:35, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The sources are not the worst I've seen, but given that notability is borderline at best, WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE would apply. Vanamonde (Talk) 17:20, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
