Deletion of Brandi Hawbaker

Comment: Notability 'within the poker community' is quite irrelevant as is mostly not  and/or not mainstream publications.  I thought she might pass per google news hits which are reliable, such as the Guardian, but that only has 2 sentences about her, and the rest of the 9 articles about her are passing mentions.   Having said that, if this article survives, we owe it to her memory and family for the article to mention more about whatever accomplishments she had, and not only her health problems and death as at present

Comment: per  as 'significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded.' Weak because her notability comes from the controversy she caused in the poker world, and from the unfortunate manner of her death; she was not a professional poker player

Comment: If she had not committed suicide it would probably be a delete, but she clearly meets the  and .  The article has three reliable sources, with one unquestionable.  Additionally nominator incorrectly posits that "infamy" is not notability.  This is false.  Policy has nothing against Paris Hilton-like infamy.

Comment: WP:INTERESTING is not a valid "keep" argument. A one-time participant in the World Series of Poker falls short in the notability department. Her suicide or her boyfriend's description of her behavior and/or mental illness doesn't add to it. Apparently the article has been "sanitized" since the beginning of this discussion, thus eliminating some potential evidence for keeping (if it were indeed supported with |reliable sources
