Article was deleted at AfD, recreated, speedy re-deleted, and brought to deletion review. Bringing it back to AfD now as an administrative action, per Misplaced Pages:Deletion review/Log/2014 April 28. I offer no opinion on the outcome. -- RoySmith (talk) 02:39, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
- Keep I am the editor who wrote the original article on 4 April 2014, which was deleted on or around 14 April 2014. At that time the objection was to her notability, based on articles about her online. In my view there was then and there is now enough online material about her to grant her notability status. The other argument by those who supported the deletion was that she was borrowing her notability from George Clooney. However, looking at the bigger picture, she is worthy of our attention even if she broke up with Clooney tonight. Finally, her notability (online media coverage) is only going to increase from today going forward. We, the Misplaced Pages editors, have nothing to lose by taking the time to look for the online sources that support her notability and adding them to the article. Thank you.

- Ms Alamuddin is not notable in her own right. her legal work is not notable. I count one TV appearance before she got engaged to Clooney. The only notability you are conferring upon her is because she is engaged to a movie star, so mention her in brief on his page. Her future notability is not a consideration. If that were the case, why don't you add everyone on the planet just in case they become notable one day? Also when you have to look for sources to confirm someone's notability that means that she is not notable. Misplaced Pages is not a newspaper, and should not be a place where editors regurgitate any old information from a newspaper. -- Sparkzilla talk! 02:00, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

- Keep For whatever reason, she has enough interest from the public to have many secondary and tertiary sources from reputable publishers. She has represented a few high-profile cases as well. — Hasdi Bravo • 16:06, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

- Keep -- well sourced already with credible claims of notability, and it's not WP:CRYSTAL to note that more sources are bound to appear very shortly. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 19:12, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
- Keep Like it or not (and it's not for us to be judging the so-called "celebrity" side of things), there are sufficient secondary reliable sources, and more will be coming along very soon. Edwardx (talk) 19:35, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
- Keep Dont want to beat a dead horse, she is notable prior to the engagement. Kanatonian (talk) 19:56, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

- Delete While Ms Alamuddin has generated some news, she is not notable for an entry in an encyclopedia. Misplaced Pages is not just a repository of facts culled from newspapers. I specifically address this page and this problem in this article: http://newslines.org/blog/wikipedia-is-not-a-newspaper/ -- Sparkzilla talk! 01:22, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
