This article is about a girl whose only claim to fame was winning a charity promotional contest, the prize for which was to announce the time of day on a speaking clock. I don't doubt that this girl exists and that she has been mentioned in the press, but I have a hard time seeing how she is encyclopedic. Will anyone care about Miss Roland and her publicity stunt in 50 years? Does anyone care today? —Psychonaut 10:12, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. Not notable enough.--Targeman 10:59, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:NOT#NEWS - no historic notability Corpx 14:42, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge with Speaking clock. Keep considerations: notability is permanent, not temporary, and she is only one of 4 people to record this for BBC. Overriding Delete consideration: Notable for single event, can be easily incorporated in main article. Canuckle 21:19, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
  • WP:NOTE is a guideline, while WP:NOT is policy, so policy should supercede a guideline. Corpx 06:37, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge to Speaking clock#United Kingdom. The Speaking Clock is a bit of an institution in the UK, and the identity of the voices is a matter of historical interest - to those interested in that kind of thing... Gordonofcartoon 21:22, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge a brief blurb into speaking clock as above. Per WP:BLP1E we should be careful when giving out articles based on minor and limited notability, doubly so for minors. --Dhartung | Talk 06:36, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge into Speaking clock#United Kingdom- and to be honest, the other articles on people who were/are voices of the speaking clock could probably be merged as well. Nigel Ish 21:13, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
