Speedy deletion of Amanda gore

We need information from impartial, reliable sources as to her notability. Neither speakers' bureaus listings nor press releases remotely qualify, since they are both basically advertising tools. Has she been written about in venues like the Wall Street Journal or Newsweek? --Orange Mike | Talk 18:45, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
