From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I don't believe this page should be deleted. Kelly Close is a leading diabetes patient advocate. She fulfills all of the wikipedia guidelines for people deserving of a wiki page. Her columns are read by thousands of diabetes patients such as myself. She is a figurehead in diabtes - any famous diabetes researcher or involved patient knows her name. Please help make this page better so that it does not become deleted

The article has no sources. If she has not received coverage in secondary sources, then she does not meet wikipedia guidelines. Beach drifter (talk) 02:34, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

She is quoted in numerous secondary sources. She has a correspondence in the NEJM, is profiled in the WSJ, etc. She's moderated panels at major diabetes meetings. Somebody should probably start a page for her patient newsletter diaTribe —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.231.154.151 (talk) 18:24, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

I've removed the speedy tag to give you a chance to find some good sources. If you can find some links to her being quoted as the article states, then it will help her to meet notability guidelines. Beach drifter (talk) 02:42, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
