Testwiki:Articles for deletion/Alexis Jones

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Delete remembering this isn't a vote counting exercise and weighing the votes accordingly, this article doesn't measure up to notability guidelines. It's quite possible one day the subject will meet standards for inclusion in an encylcopedia but at this point it just isn't there. Delete and if her notability takes off after Survivor, the article can be restored. Sarah 09:36, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Alexis Jones

Template:La (delete) – (View log)

It looks like a vanity page and was started by Template:User. Either way, Jones fails WP:BIO and doesn't seem to have done anything of note other than Survivor and precedent shows that that usually isn't enough. A lot of the stuff on this page is rather trivial, starting a fansite, being a contestant on the Price is Right, and starting a small NN company really don't help her pass WP:N. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 20:14, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

• Disempower, aside from the TV stint, just another motivational speaker. --Dhartung | Talk 09:24, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
• Redirect to Survivor: Micronesia -- Whpq (talk) 19:58, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
• Do not delete. This page does not fail the WP:BIO, rather it exceeds it. In fact, the assertion that it fails is a mere declaration that makes no effort to explain its reasoning. The original author cites to himself as precedent, which is clever but unavailing. The criterion for whether an article is publishable is that the person is "notable"; that is, that "she has been the subject of published, secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject". One of the examples specifically described is television personalities. The subject of this article has countless devotees from previous far-reaching and popular broadcasts and she will continue to acquire more as her following grows and as the current season gains popularity. There is well-documented sources dedicated to her ambition to empower young women that is not conveyed by the rather cynical description of her as "just another motivational speaker." This is a cutting-edge quality to a young, popular TV star on which many Wikipedia reader rely. For that reason, I hope that we can agree that this young woman deserves the credit she is due. I vote she stays." -- Clamorformore (talk) 03:24, 21 February 2008 (UTC)— Clamorformore (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
  • If there are "well-documented sources", how come they aren't in the article? -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 03:31, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
• Delete unsourced vanity piece Mayalld (talk) 16:39, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
• Delete for now. If she wins or is a runner-up then it can be recreated Survivorfan101 (talk) 03:14, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
• Delete If it turns out she's actually notable we can make the page again. As it says on the page, "details are unknown". -- THE DARK LORD TROMBONATOR 04:24, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

DO NOT DELETE - She was voted one of the top three college newscasters in the country when she hosted Trojan Vision's most popular show for an unheard of three years. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Uscrob (talk • contribs) 05:21, 26 February 2008 (UTC) — Uscrob (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

• Delete. Nothing that demonstrates she has achieved notability yet. —C.Fred (talk) 05:29, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

DO NOT DELETE because an entire dorm of students at USC was so dedicated to Alexis' sportcast that they petitioned to make her the honorary mascot for USC's 2006 football home opener. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nikfranklehrer (talk • contribs) 06:09, 26 February 2008 (UTC) — Nikfranklehrer (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

• Do not delete.She has done many things before Survivor, including writing a book, sportscasting, and most importantly working on empowerment of young girls all over the country. DO NOT DELETE! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nataliyam (talk • contribs) 06:14, 26 February 2008 (UTC) — Nataliyam (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
• Do NOT Delete because Alexis has been a large part of internet sports broadcasting, college broadcasting, and otherwise. She has had a following since before survivor, and also has many notable attributes that can be expanded upon on this wiki page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by KM2studios (talk • contribs) 06:30, 26 February 2008 (UTC) — KM2studios (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

DO NOT DELETE because Alexis is the best host Trojan Vision has ever seen and is probly the most popular 20 something to come out of USC in the last decade. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sharvimj (talk • contribs) 06:41, 26 February 2008 (UTC) — Sharvimj (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

• Delete: fails WP:BIO, OBVIOUS (and almost laughable) sockpuppet help. Somebody should run a check user, block the puppeteer and ban the socks.--Sallicio^$\oplus$ 06:44, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
