===[[Tracy Davidson]]===

'''Delete''' Person of very little importance [[User:Spotteddogsdotorg|Spotteddogsdotorg]] 18:40, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' Do we need every damn airhead anchor from podunk's bio here? No! [[User:Hohokus|Hohokus]] 23:19, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

**Account created 9 Jun 2005 and mostly used for VfD votes. [[User:Kaibabsquirrel|Kaibabsquirrel]] 00:15, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' Local TV gal in small market - not notable! [[User:Melvis|Melvis]] 17:30, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

**Account created 31 May 2005 and mostly used for VfD votes. [[User:Kaibabsquirrel|Kaibabsquirrel]] 00:15, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' WHO? Not notable! Next! [[User:ShureMicGuy|ShureMicGuy]] 19:07, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

**Account created today, all edits are to VfD. [[User:RickK|Rick]][[User talk:RickK|K]] 23:00, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)

Line 9 ⟶ 13:

*'''Keep''', passes [[WP:BIO]]. [[User:Kappa|Kappa]] 04:58, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

**'''Delete'''. '''''Does not''''' pass [[WP:BIO]]. [[User:RickK|Rick]][[User talk:RickK|K]] 22:27, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)

***'''Keep''', passes [[WP:BIO]]. Has "a total audience of 5,000 or more" as an anchor for an NBC affiliate in a city with a metropolitan population of nearly 6,000,000. -- [[User:Jonel|Jonel]] 23:36, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

*'''Keep''', significant enough. [[User:Bastique|'''<font size=+1>{{unicode|&#08492;}}</font>astique''']]<font size=+1 style="color:#FF72E3;">{{unicode|&#09660;}}</font>[[User talk:Bastique|'''<sup>talk</sup>''']] 05:21, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)▼

***Comment: The person is the consumer alert reporter and is '''an''' anchor, not '''the''' anchor. At local stations, just about everyone anchors for some amount of time (the weekend anchor, the weekend daytime anchor, etc.). [[User:Geogre|Geogre]] 02:29, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

****Comment: This person is '''the''' anchor of the weekday 5 p.m. newscast. -- [[User:Jonel|Jonel]] 03:21, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

▲*'''Keep''', significant enough. [[User:Bastique|'''<fontspan sizestyle=+1"font-size:large;">{{unicode|&#08492;}}</fontspan>astique''']]<font size=+1span style="font-size:large; color:#FF72E3;">{{unicode|&#09660;}}</fontspan>[[User talk:Bastique|'''<sup>talk</sup>''']] 05:21, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

*'''Delete''', does not pass [[WP:BIO]]. She's neither a "widely recognized entertainment personality" nor a "well-known entertainment figure". Nobody outside Philadelphia is likely to have heard of her, and I'd guess that many residents of the city wouldn't recognize her name. --[[User:Smack|Smack]] ([[User talk:Smack|talk]]) 05:33, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

*'''Keep'''. Television personalities from major cities are notable enough for mine. [[User:Capitalistroadster|Capitalistroadster]] 05:35, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Line 16 ⟶ 23:

*'''Keep''' Seems to be notable enough for me. And she would be "widely recognised" and "well known" in Philadelphia. [[User:Leithp|Leithp]] 10:24, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

** Just because someone is on TV in one city on one station doesn't mean that they are "widely recognised" and "well known" even in their own city, let alone their own country. They have done no national TV work, so they are still not notable, which is why I still say '''Delete'''! [[User:Spotteddogsdotorg|Spotteddogsdotorg]] 14:53, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

*'''Keep''' as Kappa [[User:Celestianpower|<fontspan style="background: #fec51e">Celestianpower</fontspan>]] [[User talk:Celestianpower|'''<sup>talk</sup>''']]{{CURRENTTIME}}, {{CURRENTDAYNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}th {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}, [[{{CURRENTYEAR}}]] (UTC)

*'''Keep''' [[User:SchmuckyTheCat|SchmuckyTheCat]] 16:16, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' Asa Aarons wannabe in a small city big deal. [[User:ConeyCyclone|ConeyCyclone]] 17:24, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

**Account created earlier today and mostly used for VfD votes. [[User:Kaibabsquirrel|Kaibabsquirrel]] 00:15, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

*'''Keep''' This is from the same user who writes about many New York City-based tv news personalities and executives, but derides those from "lesser" stations in major markets. And by looking at the nominator's reasoning, I suppose everyone knows who [[Diane Doctor]] is. [[User:ErikNY|ErikNY]] 18:58, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

**'''COMMENT''' The whatWhat the above user calls "New York City-based tv news personalities and executives" are nationally known people who meet many of the [[WP:BIO]] criteria or are seen nationally on programs. If we use ErikNY's reasoning we should just ignore people like [[Peter Jennings]] and [[Roone Arledge]] would fall into that category. The broadcasts of the various New York televison stations are seen through much of the United States, the Carribean and Latin America, unlike Ms. Davidson, who is only seen in a very small area by comparison. Also, in the case of say [[Jim Vance]] or [[Sue Simmons]] who are pioneering African-American news anchors, so they would warrant entries, but Ms. Davidson a thirty something airhead blonde cookie cutter anchorette. She doesn't need one until she becomes more notable or moves on to a national broadcast. [[User:Spotteddogsdotorg|Spotteddogsdotorg]] 23:04, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' doesn't meet [[WP:BIO]] guidelines. You may argue that she is a "Well known entertainment figure", but being known in one city doesn't seem to do that. [[User:Toasthaven|Toasthaven]] 22:47, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

***'''Keep''', passes [[WP:BIO]]. It's the Internet! Keeping this item costs nothing and may be helpful

*'''Keep'''. Philly is a big market; notable. [[User:Kaibabsquirrel|Kaibabsquirrel]] 00:15, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

*'''Keep.''' [[User:TheCustomOfLife|Mike H]] 02:07, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)

*'''Comment''' - Added information about her Mid-Atlantic region Emmy Awards. Maintain my keep vote. -- [[User:Jonel|Jonel]] 03:43, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

*'''Keep'''. Anchor and host in a large city. Notable enough. [[User:Sjakkalle|Sjakkalle]] [[User talk:Sjakkalle|<small>(Check!)</small>]] 06:54, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

*'''Delete'''. Article does not establish sufficent notability. [[User:Gamaliel|Gamaliel]] 06:57, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

*'''Keep'''. This article is still a stub, so it does serve its purpose. [[User:AdamTheHun|AdamTheHun]] 15:44, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

*'''Keep''' The Philadelphia broadcast area is large enough that "notable there" is "notable enough". --[[User:Unfocused|<span style="color:#006699;">Un</span>]][[User talk:Unfocused|focused]] 16:33, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

*'''Delete'''. Pressure to dilute [[WP:BIO]] is sad, but perhaps inevitable. The size of the Philadelphia market is irrelevant as local TV news hacks are generally not notable. They change jobs frequently and have no cultural significance. Typically they are entirely interchangable. [[User:Quale|Quale]] 21:05, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

'''Delete''' I am fairly new here and just stumbled on to these deletion pages but she doesn't seem that noteworthy, as most local TV personalities are - not noteworthy that is. They are like tires, very easly swapped and basically identical! [[User:UncleFloyd|UncleFloyd]] 19:31, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
