  • Weak keep - seems borderline notable as a minor celebrity, but i'm not going to shed any tears if the article gets deleted - PocklingtonDan 10:37, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, regional Emmys are not sufficient for notability (hundreds are handed out each year). The Edward R. Murrow award -- not this one -- is given to a station, not an individual reporter.[1] --Dhartung | Talk 16:48, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep - I don't think editors should make judgments on which major awards are really major awards. It's not an honorary plaque from a high school or Rotary Club, it's an Emmy. Just because hundreds are handed out doesn't make it so much less notable. --Dmz5*Edits**Talk* 06:23, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - Can't agree with Dhartung: a verifiable award (and a source - as provided here - is most useful) is an indicator of notability. Three regional Emmy awards is sufficient evidence that a subject has made a notable contribution in their field. (I would suggest two may suffice.) Eludium-q36 18:55, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Nomination for deletion is lacking, as this person does appear to meet WP:BIO as a minor celeb. RFerreira 19:44, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep: in addition, she was a correspondent to a nationally broadcast program. Calwatch 10:54, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
