Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Malia Obama (2009)

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 Speed close. First of all this was created with the required header making the page unlisted on the current AfD page and it appeared as part of a Cisco AfD. Second this page says that it is for the Malia Obama (2009), which was created and deleted 25 OCtober 2009, and the redirect Malia Obama. I am unsure how an AfD can be used to change a redirect to an article. I suggest that Wikipedia:Deletion review or some of the venues that User:Marcusmax suggests be used instead.

Malia Obama (2009)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Malia Obama was an article that was made into a redirect in spring, 2008. More than one year later, she has become notable or, even by those favoring deletion, a "marginally notable" person.

She has articles written in very reliable sources about her specifically. She is now a public figure rather than an obscure figure before the election. Name McCain's children and most people have a hard time naming them. Name Obama's children, and the Malia's name snaps into people's minds, even more than her little sister (who doesn't have articles about her).

This is a deletion debate about the redirect, which should be changed to an article. There's already one in the history. SRMach5B (talk) 18:13, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Change redirect to the article previously written We must also watch the article to prevent vandals if re-created. We don't need to ask permission from the White House, who hasn't protested the Wikipedia article, but actually releases press photos of the family (unlike the Spanish government which informally prohibits release of photos of the Spanish prime minister's children) SRMach5B (talk) 18:14, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - SRMach5B I believe you posted this in the wrong place I recommend perhaps trying WP:RFC or try WP:BLP/N to start a discussion on the notability of Malia. -Marcusmax(speak) 18:41, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
