If I'm looking for information on "Madelyne Woods", who I am familiar with from my viewing of Black Entertainment Television, why would this article be marked for "speedy deletion" when it was just created today? Is there existing statistics to determine how often this person is searched for on Wikipedia? Silkysoul 03:01, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was mistaken to nominate this article for speedy deletion since the article text discusses why Madelyne Woods might be notable. However, the original reason for my nomination still stands: I don't believe that being a host was on BET many years ago is sufficient to meet Wikipedia's requirements for a WP:BIO article, but I'll hold off on asking for a AfD review in hopes that you (or someone else) can find some (or any) third-party references of the following:

The person has received significant recognized awards or honors
The person has demonstrable wide name recognition
The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field
With significant roles in notable films, television, stage performances, and other productions
Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following
Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment
The person is widely cited or regarded as an important figure by their peers or successors
The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory or technique

... which would help justify keeping the article. —Mrand ^T-C 13:42, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your concern is certainly valid--however, being a host and on-air personality on one of the flagship shows on BET, a major cable channel (even several years ago) is certainly sufficient to meet Wikipedia's requirements for a WP:BIO article: With significant roles in notable films, television, stage performances, and other productions.-RoBoTam^ice 19:09, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
