Deletion of Tracy Van Slyke

Comment: a true paucity of |reliable sources.  She seems to have gotten a bit of press some time ago, for an editorial or blog criticizing a children's animated TV show, but that's more of a |one-event situation

Comment: Article is borderline or worse, but subject isn't. I agree the current article is not in the best shape, poorly referenced, one-sided, but these problems can be fixed. The general notability guideline requires |significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject and these conditions are met. True, she is a left-leaning progressive advocate, and while Wikipedia is a mainstream information source, it is a ''big tent'' in that we can cover people on the left and right as well as the center, and she is an important voice on the left. Further, she gets sufficient attention from mainstream sources (Guardian, CBS News, PBS) as well as elsewhere to qualify. http://www.pbs.org/mediashift/2010/07/media-consortium-pushes-collaboration-to-increase-innovation-197/ PBS addresses Van Slyke in detail. She is discussed http://heebmagazine.com/tracy-van-slyke/362 here. She was http://www.cbsnews.com/news/obama-nominates-watt-to-head-housing-agency-wheeler-to-fcc/ quoted by CBS News and http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-02-07/obama-urged-by-house-democrats-to-replace-fannie-mae-s-regulator.html quoted by Bloomberg News. She is discussed http://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/mother-jones-know-best-foundation-funding-and-collaboration-news/Content?oid=1241772 extensively in this article. Her http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jul/22/thomas-the-tank-engine-children-parents provocative piece published in 'The Guardian' about the kids cartoon show Thomas the Tank Engine set off much battling between left and right leaning viewpoints, such as http://www.nationalreview.com/article/383541/defense-thomas-tank-engine-charles-c-w-cooke here in the National Review and http://conservativewoman.co.uk/matthew-walsh-guardian-surpasses-now-thomas-tank-engine-racist/ here and elsewhere. She criticized US president Obama http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0412/75436.html here so while she is left-leaning, she can criticize left-leaning politicians as well. Overall notable person, although she is not as prominent as someone like Betty Friedan. If the article stays, I will try to fix it up when I have time
