The result was delete. Since all delete !votes are based on the missing sources to establish notability, there is no prejudice against recreation if notability can be demonstrated using reliable, third-party sources. Regards So Why 13:33, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article fails Wikipedia:Notability (people) by not containing references from third-party, secondary sources (all BBC refs are firmly connected to the subject). The JPS ^{talk to me} 00:29, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Along with dozens of these pitifully thin, rarely maintained single issue stub articles. Leaky Caldron 10:27, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. She is a significant broadcaster on a national radio station. Since she has always worked for the BBC, (BBC Ipswich, BBC Bristol, BBC Five Live and on TV Working Lunch), it is not surprising that most ot the refs are from the BBC. The article now has a ref from The Independent newspaper and the university details which were recently removed are verified by her agent's website. Cjc13 (talk) 12:18, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Although primary sources can provide references, notability is established through independent sources. As there are no independent sources, the article fails this basic notability threshold. The JPS ^{talk to me} 19:22, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
