WP:BLP of a television presenter, not properly referenced as passing our notability criteria for television presenters. The notability claims on offer here are that she (a) exists, and (b) won an award at a festival, neither of which are automatic notability freebies in the absence of adequate evidence that she would pass WP:GNG on third-party media coverage -- but the "referencing" here is entirely to primary sourcing that isn't support for notability at all, such as a job footnoted to a mere repetition of the names of her colleagues rather than a third-party source, and a Q&A interview in which she's talking about herself in the first person rather than having the significance of her work externally analyzed by other people in the third. Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to be referenced quite a bit better than this. Bearcat (talk) 17:52, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete I arrived here after a brief look at the author's Talk after finding another poorly-referenced (new) article, Allen Millyard - not as bad as this one, though. Disappointed to find (as I expected) an autopatrolled editor slipping-in articles through the back door (and holding NPP rights) when these articles do not comply. Considering a 2006 registration, the failure to correctly-format citations (and mis-use of ref tags) is also remarkable.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 23:50, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Considering the latter two points, I should've mentioned WP:SAYWHEREYOUGOTIT, but looking at the linked text, it itself is of not much help.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 12:47, 22 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Comment Seems notable as there are plenty of sources in Gsearch. Most are tabloid/celeb gossip magazines, one hit in the Independent. Seems to be on the path to notability. BADLY needs a rewrite. TNT anyone? Oaktree b (talk) 20:22, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. "won an award at a festival" is a little underplaying the Chelsea Flower Show, which is the premier venue for garden design in Britain by a country light year. Google News & Google show lots of hits for the subject, probably because a black woman presenting a show of the class of Gardeners' World in Britain is still a bit of a novelty; see for eg, Guardian.
