Chanty Binx

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

BLP sourced only to a negative Huffington Post opinion column. Doesn't meet WP:BIO. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 23:47, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Keep Lack of sources in article is not a reasonable argument for deletion. Highly famous and influential feminist. Alex (talk) 23:48, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
Keep. A quick Google search revealed many more reliable sources. I am not sure if WP:BEFORE has been done. sst ✈ 23:57, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
Which? A Google News search finds virtually nothing - three of them are nothing but user comments on otherwise-entirely-unrelated articles which show up in the search. There are a number of random blogs which pop up in a regular Google search, but those aren't suitable sources for biographies. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 00:01, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Politics-related deletion discussions. sst ✈ 23:57, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Sexuality and gender-related deletion discussions. sst ✈ 23:57, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Canada-related deletion discussions. sst ✈ 23:57, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

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. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 05:20, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
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)
  - If that results in a well-sourced biographical article, absolutely, and you'll deserve a barnstar or two to boot. If there are sources you've found which can give us an actual biography rather than a throwaway line, kudos. I have not seen any sources that would allow us to write her biography. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 05:33, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
I have now expanded the article to more than 2000 characters of prose, and the requirement for DYK is 1500. An article by The Daily Dot + an article by Jezebel + a piece by a HuffPost writer is enough significant coverage for this to meet WP:GNG. Also, the incident at the University of Toronto plus the harassment and threats she has received means that this is a WP:BLP2E. sst ✈ 12:23, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
