This is a very poorly sourced BLP of a non-notable professional athlete's wife, and model's mother. Notability is not inheritend, and the three references currently cited provide nothing more than brief mentions of the article subject. In fact, one is little more than a divorce decree from her famous husband. Others provide either brief quotes from, or brief mentions of, the article subject. This simply fails our notability requirements on multiple levels. UnitAnode 18:19, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
- Delete There are numerous athletes' spouses who are notable enough for an article of their own, but this isn't one of them. Blueboy96 19:04, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
- Keep - clearly notable. She is sourced as being the star of a network reality show, which handily satisfies WP:ENT. The TV show and surrounding publicity are about an event that would not normally be notable, being the (ex) wife of a famous person. But that's what reality shows do, they make a public event out of everyday life. The article is, and should be, about her prominence in that regard and not an in-universe account of her private life as revealed by the show. We cover reality shows just like we cover everything else, we report on what the sources have to say about things. For comparison's sake the situation is analogous to Sharon Osbourne's. - Wikidemon (talk) 20:22, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
- Delete and redirect to The Gastineau Girls. True, notability is not inherited, nor does there appear to be any non-inherited notability abound either. JBsupreme (talk) 00:15, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
- Keep: This article as originally deleted in the Jan 20 mass deletion, and I requested its restoration and sourced what currently appears in the article. There is additional information in the prior history that I haven't gotten around to adding back yet, as we triage the mass of articles which have been deleted and prodded with little care. Unfortunately, the nominator has apparently not followed WP:BEFORE in making this nomination. The subject of this article has been subject to press coverage for most of the past 25 years, to varying degrees; she actually is also a quite successful businesswoman though that hasn't been added back to the article yet. FYI, for what its worth, this was also a fairly popular article before its deletion, e.g., it got 4330 hits in Nov. 09.--Milowent (talk) 15:19, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
