A bit tenuous, especially the claim to be notable for being a passenger in a shopping cart! Another editor has also raised notability concerns. Though Wild was a finallist in the Britain's Kindest Kid competition, the other awards are only from a local charity. Being only very local in nature, I don't think the news coverage is substantial enough to meet WP:GNG. Sionk (talk) 20:04, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Did she take part in designing the cart in any way or was she just a passenger? If she was just chosen to be the passenger then I think that sort of downplays her part in the record. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 23:45, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not finding much, but this article from a local paper seems to suggest that she didn't actually do anything than get chosen at somewhat random to ride in the cart. The people who look to have gotten the actual award from Guinness seem to be the store owners. I don't think she's actually listed as the record holder on Guiness, but I'll check there as well.

Delete. The awards are all local and the world record isn't actually held by her, but by the Tesco company itself. The official Guinness page doesn't even mention her, just the Tesco company. I don't mean to make her sound like her local achievements aren't wonderful, especially for a teen her age, but she hasn't done anything that would really make her pass notability guidelines at this time. She won a contest to be a passenger. She didn't design the cart itself and that's really the only thing here that would really count towards notability guidelines- although I don't think being a Guinness record holder is something that we keep an article for on that basis alone. I look forward to her future achievements and I hope that one day she does pass notability guidelines so she can be re-added. Until that point though, this is a delete from my end.

Delete' - Seems to be fine upstanding teen; the type that may find a way to make a significant impact in the future. Her accomplishments to date a laudable, but not sufficient to meet inclusion criteria. -- Whpq (talk) 13:44, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
