Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marlie Casseus
I wrote most of the prose of this article. Simon Pulsifer is a human-interest story article, which tells us something about whether the community deletes articles on those grounds. Instead, |notability is the standard, as measured by multiple stories by news organizations. Casseus isn't a media one-off, but has gotten press coverage during various time periods, in December '05, early October and late November '06 (all in this article) and again in http://www.nbc6.net/health/10567090/detail.html December '06. I almost nommed this for deletion myself on BLP grounds, but she's even been the subject of a http://bittenandbound.com/2008/08/03/a-new-face-for-marlie-casseus-photos-and-video/ Discovery Health program http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071101075848AAVwcTt apparently shown in late 2007. Looking at the video in the second external link, it's apparent she or her family is cooperating with the press instead of shying away from them. Finally, she's notable as the most famous case of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia. It may not be Christopher Reeve and paralysis, but it's still significant. In the event I ever get a deletion request from her family or someone associated with them, I'll delete this article myself on BLP grounds
