Contested prod. While Jackie Mercer is found via a Google Book search, the mentions there are trivial and do not go to establish notability. The only "claim to fame" this person has is that the were used as this basis of a character in a book by Jack Kerouac. NW (Talk) 01:11, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep besides the one I listed to start with, she';s in all the bios of Kerouac, & his published letters, in extensive discussions. Girl friend and inspiration for a major character, People significant in the life of a major writer are notable. DGG ( talk ) 05:24, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the real person per WP:N, or perhaps redirect to the article on Keroac. Interestingly, the character appears more notable; perhaps enough to have its own article. Them From Space 03:06, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. If she was that influential on Kerouac, where are her mentions in the scholarly literature? I tried searching without the Gibson, nothing. Abductive (reasoning) 01:53, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You find lots of book mentions if you just use Jackie Gibson.[1] --Milowent (talk) 21:22, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
