Jazz Mellor

Does not seem to be notable. First (and only) major editor gave reasons for notability on the discussion page only, which are not convincing. Being president of a sub-organisation with an unknown number of members whose notability is not established should not be enough to claim an entry at Wikipedia.

Delete, no evidence that she's really done enough and been covered enough to be notable. Nyttend (talk) 18:28, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, Mellor is the founding member and President of an organization that's come to national attention. The Daily Telegraph does not report trivial events. Mellor is also a trustee of the Strummerville charity which is notable in its own right. Unknown Unknowns (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 08:59, 10 November 2009 (UTC).[reply]
Keep per Unknown Unknowns. –pjoef (talk • contribs) 15:31, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Being covered by the Daily Telegraph twice is enough to pass the WP:GNG, Lord Spongefrog, (I am the Czar of all Russias!) 17:20, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as the subject's notability has been established. The article does need to be fleshed out some as there's a dearth of text on the page.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:23, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete — absolutely not notable at all. (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 21:00, 11 November 2009 (UTC))[reply]
Delete - only notable for the single thing; maybe make an article on the Shoreditch WI & redirect this there, which answers Spongefrog's point. Cheers, Lindsay^Hi 05:14, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per Spongefrog. Shoreditch WI are only notable for Jazz Mellor's activities. Bamber Clarte (talk) 05:50, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Abstain - I struggle to see any noticeable notability criteria being established. Otherwise we list the presidents of every WI, do we?! However, as an inclusionist ..... Derek R Bullamore (talk) 13:47, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Otherwise we list the presidents of every WI, do we?

No - Just those WI presidents who have two or more Daily Telegraph articles written about them. Unknown Unknowns (talk) 19:59, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Are there some Telegraph articles other than those in the article, then? Because the two quoted are not about Mellow; yes, she is mentioned in each, but neither is about her, even in the greatest stretch of those words, and mere mention in the Telegraph is not enough to prove notability. Cheers, Lindsay^Hi 04:29, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Sorry, I should have said two mentions in the national press. Unknown Unknowns (talk) 12:28, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
