• Delete Well, there is a great deal more about her than you'd expect from this article which is highly recentist. However, I suspect for subjects who remain well known it is better to have no article at all than such a poor one. This will give someone the opportunity to create a balanced article without being burdened by what we have at present. Thincat (talk) 08:48, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep' The rationale given for the deletion ( Being a newsreader on BBC is insufficient for an article) smacks of elitism. Ottawahitech (talk) 19:07, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In what way:the meaning was being a newsreader even on BBC ... . Some jobs in any profession require more creativity than others, and the description here sounds like the bootom of the pyramid. And, more important as WP traditionally sees it, there's no evidence that the world thinks otherwise. DGG ( talk ) 05:17, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Some jobs in any profession require more creativity than others: Does a News presenter require less creativity? Is this wp:verifiable? 14:31, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

• Delete. Existing source isn't independent of the subject, and I can't find any significant coverage in independent reliable sources to satisfy WP:BASIC from Google searches. Qwfp (talk) 16:17, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
