Article was hastily added after incorrect reporting of an on air incident. Proposing for deletion as a non notable reporter. Safiel (talk) 00:38, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

  • Delete This is a just a local reporting flubbing about 10 seconds of speech, which is pretty minor. --Rob (talk) 00:43, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
  • Delete – A minor case of Paraphasia. ttonyb (talk) 00:57, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
  • Weak delete. She may well be non-notable under the applicable Misplaced Pages standards, but in fairness, it should be noted that last night's incident has been reported in hundreds of reliable sources, nationally and internationally, in addition to hundreds of unsavory gossip sites. She has been around as a reporter for quite a while and might have a scintilla of notability apart from last night's scare. However, I haven't been able to track down independent confirmation of the Emmy nominations mentioned at her station bio, and it appears to me that the "Frank Shakespeare Award" mentioned there is a student award given by the Institute on Political Journalism of the Fund for American Studies, and thus probably not anything that conveys notability. WP:BLP1E and some level of discretion here may suggest that deletion is the best course.--Arxiloxos (talk) 01:00, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
    • Even if we get 3rd party verification of the emmy nom, it probably wouldn't show notability, since it's probably a regional emmy, given for local news coverage. --Rob (talk) 01:32, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
  • Do not delete There is no basis for deleting this article. Case in point: Caitlin Upton. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.102.220.252 (talk) 01:03, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
  • KEEP Don't you just love the way that Safiel determines that this beautiful reporter's prize is "not notable". And what have you won, Safiel? What national prizes have you won, you lazy armchair prat? This is a classic example of the talentless morons who dictate their biased and unfair views on Misplaced Pages. If you weren't posting on Misplaced Pages and if the internet didn't exist, you would never even have a platform to voice your worthless rubbish. No one would listen to your rubbish; just another smelly college student getting ready to join a workforce of sheep. Serene Branson is a beautiful young lady who has achieved a wonderful prize and deserves to be recognized for that honor. She also has a wonderful career in front of her, despite you nasty talentless male pigs wishing her ill. FACT: None of YOU could win the Frank Shakespeare award. Deleting her article is totally against the spirit of Misplaced Pages that Jimbo Wales professes to encourage while asking the public with his begging bowl to donate money. Please do NOT delete this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fairnessprevails (talkcontribs) 01:19, 15 February 2011 (UTC) This template must be substituted.
