[edit] Shelley Yates

Shelley Yates (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Person who claims to have had a psychic experience after almost drowning. Marked for speedy deletion, but had a couple of news sources. My feeling is that she's not notable, see WP:BLP1E. NawlinWiki 14:23, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. I searched Google News looking for news stories, and there were only three hits. One was a press release about Fire the Grid, and the other two were minor stories about local meditation centers participating in Fire The Grid. Hardly sounds like an notable international movement.

  • Don't Delete. There's clearly a real movement going on here, and her story checks out as a legitimate news story.Preceding unsigned comment was posted by User:LeeChesnut at 16:55, 18 July 2007
  • Delete The subject in question is not notable at all. A google searh is also unclear abou the subject. Moreover, one must take note that the bare fact that someone has been in the news does not in itself imply that they should be the subject of an encyclopedia entry --Siva1979Talk to me 14:56, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, not noteworthy. Wasn't there an article by the same name that was speedy deleted very recently? Useight 15:01, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
    • A previous version was speedy deleted under A7. IMO this was improper, as the article does (and did) make assertions of significance. That of course says nothing about what the result should be here. DES (talk) 15:25, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per Siva. --ROGER TALK 15:18, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
  • This is marginal, IMO. There are very few published news stories linked by google. But there does seem to be a lot of online discussion, and that fact may be worth noting, pareticuarlly if it reflects a degree of word-of-mouth notability in the real world. Given that shee is activly seeking publicity, BLP issues really don't apply, except as a question of notability. very weak keep. DES (talk) 15:38, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Sources only touch on the notability of the subject.--Ispy1981 15:47, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - notability is not measured in how many hits you get on youtube. She is but one of many people that profess an experience with "beings of light". Maybe she can be added to another article that focues on this phenomenon. --Storm Rider (talk) 18:49, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete -- FTA: "Shelley Yates became a somewhat notable figure..." That tells you all you need to know. Cap'n Walker 20:39, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:BLP1E, and that newsworthy is not noteworthy. Resolute 04:22, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
