Divine Brown

POV, non-notable DEL Who 06:46, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

This seems to have been VfDed without actually ending up on the VfD page. I've added it now, although I'm neutral as to the article itself. -- Vardion 05:00, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• I've rewritten it to be more NPOV, but I don't know whether it should be kept. -- Vardion 01:56, 15 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, verifiable, NPOV, of interest to large numbers of people, better as a separate article from Hugh Grant. Failing keep, merge with Hugh Grant. Kappa 06:26, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Good cleanup. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 07:00, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge with Hugh Grant. Not notable outside of that particular incident. Megan1967 07:04, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • I thought that had happened already... [/rimshot] Kinitawowi 15:51, May 19, 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect -- some people will remember her name when Mr.Grant is merely a footnote in fringe Brit-entertainment. --Simon Cursitor 07:47, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • I suspect that for most people, however, it will be the other way around. Uncle G 17:32, 2005 May 23 (UTC)

• Redirect: Attendant fame redirects to the source of the fame. He had $50 hanging out the window, and she came to the car. (shrug) So far as I know, she made one attempted porn afterward and was so bad in it that there was no more career for her. Geogre 11:10, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Well-known incident in the 1990's. Capitalistroadster 11:28, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - she managed to work the incident into more than her 15 minutes. -- BD2412 ^talk 15:19, 2005 May 19 (UTC)
• Keep - even the Germans know her name.I have a question: Is it allowed to upload her mugshot? [1] MutterErde 15:31, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'd say that would be a fair use of the image. -- BD2412 ^talk 18:40, 2005 May 19 (UTC)
    • OK, Thank you. I did it. Let´s wait and see :-) Greetings MutterErde 19:12, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge and redirect to Hugh Grant. Not notable on her own. RickK 21:25, May 19, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect. -Sean Curtin 01:24, May 20, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge per the above. Radiant_* 11:03, May 20, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep***. Divine Brown is a part of history now and should stand as her own article. People may want to research people like her and there isn't any other information available anywhere about her. Just leave the article and allow updates. You never know if she could become a government official or anything (everybody else does despite their pasts). She also may become a vital part of Black History in the future. PLEASE DON'T MERGE or DELETE!!! User:pauldavies
  • The above is in reality User:209.240.205.62. RickK 20:47, May 20, 2005 (UTC)
  • 209.240.205.62, everything past your first sentence is a reason for deletion. If there "isn't any other information available anywhere about her", then this article would be unverifiable. (Your claim is false, however.) If she "could become a government official" or "a vital part of Black History", but hasn't done so yet, then she doesn't belong belong because Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Uncle G 17:32, 2005 May 23 (UTC)
• Keep, she may not go down in history like Jezebel, but there will be people curious about her who want a little more information than can fairly be diverted on Hugh's page--Sherurcij 17:57, May 21, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Merger counterindicated because, in the Hugh Grant article, this level of detail about Brown would be clutter. JamesMLane 09:25, 22 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge and redirect to Hugh Grant. Leanne 05:04, 25 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
