Deletion of Lynette Sweet (2nd nomination)

Comment: Notable based on the large number of http://news.google.com/archivesearch?&as_src=-newswire+-wire+-presswire+-PR+-release+-wikipedia&q=%22Lynette+Sweet%22news stories which mention or quote her. In response to the various sneers about "dog-catchers" and "bus companies", nobody is claiming that her position as a BART director makes her automatically notable; it does not. She is judged as an individual, and she is notable as an individual. The relevant |guideline is the amount of news coverage the subject has received, and she has received plenty - far more than what is cited in the article

Comment: there appears to be sufficient impact to meet  and the article is of benefit to the encyclopaedia. I have to agree that there is more to meeting  than suspecting that an article might not meet the notability criteria and it most certainly is the problem of new page patrollers to make good faith attempts to check if there is a reasonable expectation that the article might be improved in the near future with better sources. This is not a good nomination and the nominator should have spotted that the last AFD was a speedy keep less than 3 weeks ago which, even though it was problematic, is an indicator that any new nomination should be carefully written and would have benefited from an explanation of whatever efforts that were made to address the BEFORE guidance. An improvement notice on the article would have been sufficient to encourage discussion and improvement, an AFD in this situation is unhelpful and appears heavy handed

Comment: A One of a series of hasty AFD noms by this editor, with no indication he followed . Please check Google News Archive, at least, before presenting a bio for deletion. She gets http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=%22Lynette+Sweet%22+&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&btnG=Search+Archives 258 hits at Google News archive, many of which are behind paywall, but which show her to be frequently quoted in nationally carried AP and UPI stories about Bay Area transit. To survive AFD it is not required that the refs be posted in the article; they just have to exist. A nominator owes other editors the courtesy of checking for refs and not leaving it to the others who follow AFD
