Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Megan Smolenyak
Whether this article was written by a paid contributor or not should be of no consequence to whether the subject is notable and passes inclusion criteria. While paid contributor created articles are not necessarily encouraged they are also not expressly forbidden. I get that some editors here are adamantly and staunchly against paid contributions. I actually believe some are just anti-everything they don't care about but that's another topic in and of itself. If that's the case then get the policy changed. The article is adequately cited by reliable sources and Megan is discussed significantly as the primary subject of these independent pieces. She passes . Nothing says a subject must pass a specific SNG to be included. Only GNG is needed to establish notability
