The result of the debate was KEEP. —Korath (Talk) 04:39, Mar 2, 2005 (UTC)
Article fails to sufficient notability. Possible vanity. Radiant! 10:37, Feb 23, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep I'd say she's right on the line. She's a political commentator who appears on national TV a lot, which would be a good argument for keeping, but her Google rank (679 web hits, only 5 groups hits) is lower than mine, and this article is just a substub, so deleting wouldn't be out of the question either. Overall I'd prefer to err on the side of caution and keep those who tread the borderline. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:13, Feb 23, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. "Vanity" means she or an associate wrote it - from Fox News? I don't think so - David Gerard 14:42, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Good point, keep then. Radiant! 09:06, Feb 25, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep and expand. She's a political commentator who appears on national TV. Zzyzx11 22:28, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, and expand. Megan1967 00:43, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Keep Notability established. How about giving the benefit of the doubt more often to give Wikipedia a chance to grow? it seems that most people are more likely to add to an existing article than to start a new one, so it is counterproductive to delete stubs or otherwise unfinished articles.

- That's not necessarily true. The category 'substub' was added because the category 'stub' was overcrowded, and now 'substub' is also getting far too long. People are likely to add to articles they find (e.g. a Spaniard checking spain-stub) but stubs about things or people nobody much knows about tend to stay stubby forever. That said, this article should be kept now that it's established as a media presence. Radiant! 09:06, Feb 25, 2005 (UTC)
