- Nadya Suleman (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
Article is about a person famous for only one event, see WP:BLP1E SDY (talk) 07:31, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
- Keep - I undersand the "famous for one event" principle, but it is only a principle. This lady seems interesting enough, notable enough, and is covered by a wide variety of reliable sources. The article is of a healthy length and depth of detail, and deleting it seems a bit extreme! ╟─TreasuryTag►contribs─╢ 09:52, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
- Keep - Ms. Suleman has gained international notoriety. There are literally dozens of articles written about and interviews of Ms. Suleman in the mainstream media which clearly qualify her as a notable subject for a Misplaced Pages article. There are many thousands of less notable biographies on WP that are unopposed. It seems those who want this article deleted may have an agenda of preventing additional attention to her, however the Misplaced Pages notability standard relies on coverage by reliable sources and is not agenda driven. Numerous reliable sources have covered Nadya Suleman, therefore the existance of an article about her should not be controversial. Toounstable (talk) 10:13, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
- Additional comment: the editor who requested deletion did so based upon a variable principle that biographies of living people who are notable for one event should be covered in the article on the event. However Nadya Suleman is certainly NOT notable for only one "EVENT" -- the birth of historic octuplets. The literally hundreds of news and opinion articles about her demonstrate that her notability includes myriad other issues that have been documented and discussed in/by qualified reliable sources.

- Keep She was initially just notable for the birth of octuplets, but with the growing controversy and laws being enacted to prevent this from happening again I think shes surpassed the "one event" clause as the nominator has proposed this article violates. There has been over 17,000 news articles indexed by Google news referencing her name in the past month alone. — raeky 12:29, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
- Keep: Raeky makes a very valid point I think. Even if it was WP:ONEEVENT, this is a perfect example where WP:IAR is appropriate. This is something that a lot of people would be interested in, and if we don't have an article on a subject that has such a huge controversy surrounding it, that would be really weird.
