Sara Benincasa

Delete - does not appear to pass WP:BIO as an actress or entertainer. Cites are largely to youtube and other similarly unreliable sources, Otto4711 (talk) 23:18, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The Newsweek and ABC sources in the article, along with others such as [1], [2] and [3] get her through WP:BIO. Phil Bridger (talk) 11:13, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The coverage in those sources is not substantively about Benincasa as required by WP:BIO. None of them appear to contain more than a paragraph or two that are about her, including two that are the same material from ABC about moose jokes. Otto4711 (talk) 07:48, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Notability supported by reliable sources like this and this. See also these.--Evb-wiki (talk) 17:38, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

None of the Google News hits appear to be reliable. The others, as noted, are not substantively about Benincasa. Otto4711 (talk) 07:48, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep coverage in reliable and verifiable sources, included in the article, establish notability. Alansohn (talk) 20:47, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Parodies of Sarah Palin, all the reliably sourced information about her seems to be part of the broader topic of parodies/comedic takes of the political figure. There is little biographical information about the person or their comedy outside of this context. Guest9999 (talk) 19:35, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as, aside from Palin, she's a cited political pundit. And there's WP:HOTTIE, and it's not just me who thinks this; see the Palin-irrelevant "Bloggers we want to see in bikinis: Sara Benincasa." Plus, bikini, monokini, mankini, nokini or burka, I like her: she's what Tina Fey might hope to be like if Fey wasn't working for a tired TV program that's nervous about advertising revenue. Uh, ILIKEIT isn't a reason? OK then, WP:HOTTIE. Tama1988 (talk) 06:36, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, just. She seems to have very recently received enough coverage (see various links above) to satisfy WP:BIO. It's worth bearing in mind that this is early in her career and she seems likely to satisfy the criteria much more easily as time goes on.Paxse (talk) 17:46, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
