  • Delete – The subject has received news coverage only for one event; qualifies for deletion per WP:BLP1E. Upon source searches, the subject also does not appear to meet WP:BASIC at this time. North America 00:40, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
    • Is the continued criticism/harassment this person received not sustained coverage? How's this article on Vice? What about this? sst 05:06, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
      • Are those brief mentions sufficient to write a biography of Binx, something more than the tiny and highly-slanted stub we have now? Can those sources allow us to expand the article beyond "Binx made some people mad, and those people harassed her"? If not, that's not a biography and it should probably be merged and redirected.

  • Comment - The HuffPost link is a textbook example of a opinion blog, not a news story, and all statements sourced to it must be attributed to the writer. It cannot be used as a source for facts. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 05:25, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
    • (edit conflict) These are WP:SURMOUNTABLE concerns. The most important thing is that notability is established, not whether the text in the sources can be mentioned in the article. Do you want me to 5x expand this article and nominate this for DYK? sst 05:30, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
