Another journalist, not notable outside of her company. It is a perfect example how you can twist things by writing Scripps Howard Award and hyperlinking to Scripps Howard Foundation for a non-notable award. She has won an award from Alfred I. duPont–Columbia University. but again it is not a criteria for notability, these one of the common awards given to all journalists and nothing substantial. Most of the news are either have COI or passing mention/routine coverage that we expect for any journalist. The page has been edited by several COI editors and added her linkedin profile too as a reference. Headshot has been added upon request, About me from VickyNguyen.com as ref, "Vicky Nguyen" from NBC Bay Area as COI ref added, no major independent source available for her that shows that why she is notable for a Wikipedia page. As a responsible Wiki editor, I will continue to delete them. I am expecting a lot of COI editor with a keep vote for her, NBC is hiring people to create pages for journalists, making them big.

• Keep A television journalist for NBC News' national newscast-that alone makes her notable. Also, do you have proof that "NBC is hiring people to create pages for journalists"? One should be careful when commenting such things on Wikipedia. Antonio Sugar Free Beer Person Martin (aqui) 07:32, 21 March, 2022 (UTC)
• Keep. On national major network. Has in-depth coverage such as this and profiled in variety. Pikavoom ^Talk 08:06, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - there is support for WP:BASIC notability available, e.g. 'I had to fight for what I deserved': Vicky Nguyen's Know Your Value moment (MSNBC, Jan. 29, 2019, confirms she won an Emmy award), Bay Area journalist Vicky Nguyen leaving KNTV (Mercury News, Apr. 9, 2019), Vicky Nguyen: ‘I’m Constantly Reporting On Novel Coronavirus. Here’s How I Stay Sane.’ (Women's Health Magazine, Apr. 13, 2020, mostly an interview), NBC News’ Vicky Nguyen on Staying Healthy & Avoiding Scams During the Coronavirus Pandemic (VIDEO) (TV Insider, Apr. 20, 2020), Variety’s 2020 New York Women’s Impact Report, (Variety, Jun. 9, 2020), ‘The Racism Virus’: NBC’s Vicky Nguyen explores hate against Asian Americans (Mercury News, Mar. 10, 2021), NBC's Vicky Nguyen: Here's How We Can Combat Anti-Asian Racism Together (People/Yahoo, Mar. 10, 2021), What NBC News Anchor Vicky Nguyen Wants You to Understand About the Experience of Asian Americans In the US Right Now (Parade, Mar. 10, 2021), Conservative Thought Leaders Freak Out Over Today Show Explainer on Masks: ‘Evil Propaganda’ (Mediaite, Jan. 4, 2022). These sources and others, e.g. Saigon to Silicon Valley: Investigative Reporter Vicky Nguyen's Personal Story (NBC Bay Area, Apr. 30, 2015, updated May 22, 2017 (she is a co-author)), 'Blinking back tears': NBC's Vicky Nguyen on reporting in a time of anti-Asian violence (Today, Mar. 19, 2021), can be used to further develop the article.

• Keep As someone who has been sending articles on one-time local TV journalists to AfD seemingly in connection with every page I improve for GA status, this one meets the GNG for a few reasons:

• She currently works for national NBC News, and some of her stories have been the subject of discussion in reliable sources.
• One of her stories at KNTV won a national Alfred I. duPont–Columbia University Award (credit). Unlike a regional Emmy, which in my estimation does not fulfill the award criteria of ANYBIO, a duPont–Columbia, Peabody, national Emmy, or a national Edward R. Murrow Award will do the trick. In each case, only a handful of organizations are honored each year, and even fewer are local TV newsrooms.

I do suspect there could be some COI editing in the mix, particularly User:Fromano024, who has only ever edited three pages including Nguyen's and did so in 2020. While the use of "About Me" pages should mostly be relegated to claims about the subject, Nguyen clearly passes GNG. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 00:29, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - passes GNG, as shown by sources identified by Beccaynr. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 23:35, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
