The result was keep. Sr13 03:32, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Non-notable person. No coverage in secondary sources, no evidence of satisfying WP:BIO. Valrith 13:20, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Delete Correspondent for a national television network confers a small degree of notability, but not enough to satisfy guidelines without further assertion and sources to back it up. This article has neither. DarkAudit 14:54, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Non-notable. Useight 16:31, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
*Weak Delete as per DarkAudit. She's not notable, but she is close. Lankiveil 01:58, 20 May 2007 (UTC).[reply]
- Keep, on second thought, journalistic prizes plus appearing on a national TV network probably pushes her over the notability line. Lankiveil 04:08, 21 May 2007 (UTC).[reply]
- Comment. Reasonably senior journalist but sources that I could find on Google News Archive are her reports for the ABC. [1]
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- Capitalistroadster 02:03, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, presenter of a TV series and long recognised career in journalism. John Vandenberg 03:56, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - not quite notable in the sense of independent published works about her, but at the same time I'd be loath to delete it given her national presence. Orderinchaos 07:23, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment The whole issue of biographies for TV presenters particually in AU has heated up of late, particually evidenced through the recent discussion on Frank Colletta. Despite the aforementioned article being closed as delete, the debate did not reach a reasonable consensus for delete and there were the usual number of issues being raised regarding these both in support of keep and delete. Frankly, I can't choose between delete or keep for this article because frankly the nomination for deletion is at best lacking a reasonable argument for it's deletion, and the subject in question has had a long history of news reporting, particually on national issues relating to Australia's primary industries.

- Keep Looks like someone added a few moderately reasonable sources today. Scrapes through, I think. Adrian M. H. 14:55, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, John Douglas Pringle Award would imply her work has won significant critical attention, as would SA Young Journalist of the Year and the Dalgety Awards.Garrie 02:33, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Whilst no secondary sources independent of her employment, I would suggest that she has "demonstrable wide name recognition" in television and comes within the other tests of notablility. Assize 10:52, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Nationally reputable journalist and the ABC's Africa correspondent. With the profile of stories on AIDS, Sudan, DR Congo and Zimbabwe, she is on ABC Radio National and ABC NewsRadio almost daily. Is of sufficient profile to directly interview the Prime Minister of Australia - very few ABC journalists get this opportunity - and was a Walkley finalist (Walkleys are the highest journalism award in Australia).
