Kristina Howells (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Supply teacher who brought the teaching profession and her school into ill repute by being one of 14 women who showed her tits on Cosmo article " are your breasts normal?". Some papers decided to carry the story of her sacking 15 hits on Google news archives over the one incident, which hardly puts her on the road to WP:BIO. Ohconfucius 02:48, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, simply because her story is so unusual. Perhaps not conventionally notable per WP BIO, but still, I think, worthy of inclusion. -Toptomcat 04:10, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete unless there is evidence of more than an "unusual news story of the day" angle, e.g. some sort of pushback activism. --Dhartung | Talk 06:43, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete don't see anything that outside of that incident ghit wise. SkierRMH,07:20, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, subject doesn't meet WP:BIO guidelines.--Isotope23 14:48, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - Certainly borderline notability, but the details are unusual enough to warrant inclusion. Doc Tropics 18:37, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Not much article there without a good illustration of why she was in the news. Edison 20:13, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I agree with Edison's reasoning on this. There have also been many reported cases of college co-eds being expelled from college for showing up in porno mags/movies or even just men's mag, so I don't see how her firing is any more worthy a wikipedia article than these women being expelled from college --23:39, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Comment I also want to note that her showing her breasts in a magazine does not 'bring the teaching profession into ill repute'. Sleeping with underage students? Yes! Show your breasts in a woman's magazine (not even a porno mag)? No.

• Delete One day's news story in multiple publications counts as one source of coverage for WP:BIO, so she doesn't meet it on the evidence available to me. (And what is a supply teacher anyway? The talk page gave more info than the article, but not enough that I know.) GRBerry 05:03, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, not so much for the toplessness episode as for her authorship of multiple published books. JamesMLane t c 08:48, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete another example of conflating media coverage with larger notability. Eusebeus 11:39, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
