The result was delete. Numerically this si even, however, the keep votes are particularly weak. The IP claims all local news anchors are notable- not the case, and AlandOrland's vote is, just that, just a vote. MelanieN's is the only keep argument that is grounded in policy. (To be fair, Bearian's !vote to delete based on past outcomes isn't a good argument, either) but the consensus is still that this is not enough sourcing or notability to justify a BLP, hence, I'm closing this as a delete.

Local news reporter lacking GHits of substance and with no GNEWS. Has won one local award for best anchor; however, it does not appear this is enough to provide Wikipedia notability. ttonyb (talk) 15:38, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete' per past outcomes. She is a "nightside reporter", not an anchor. Bearian (talk) 20:58, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep She is a local news anchor, and local news anchors are notable. Just because one person on Wikipedia hasn't heard of her is no reason to delete. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.88.57.146 (talk) 16:05, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – Please show us where in WP:BIO it states "local news anchors are notable." ttonyb (talk) 16:09, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep She did win a statewide award as cited in the article. --MelanieN (talk) 17:55, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Delete The subject lacks the type of coverage for notability. There is weak coverage even at the local level. Stormbay (talk) 15:16, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Unnotable local news reporter. Fails WP:N and WP:BIO. The single state award does not make her notable, and without actual significant coverage, cannot meet WP:BLP. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 18:23, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep an obvious keeper, has reached level of notability.--ÅlandÖland (talk) 23:55, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – Please demonstrate how this person has reached notability using the Wikipedia definition of notability. ttonyb (talk) 00:14, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
