Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Catherine Lynch (2nd nomination)
This is a difficult case and I am torn. I can understand the arguments put forward by a number of those !voting to delete, specifically that "anyone could be an example of something" or "this is just a collection of newspaper reports". But then the point here is that someone ''has'' written about Lynch et al and ''not'' you and me – Belcham (the newspapers thus become 'filler' information and are not necessary to establish notabilitym which potentially resolves the second issue). WP:PERP is trumped by GNG. Wikipedia is supposed to be a tertiary resource and hence it is not up to us to decide that one book or subject is not sufficient to establish notability just because it's not what individual editors consider "notability" (the word) to mean. otability, the Wikipedia concept, depends on coverage in reliable secondary sources, and we should not be selective in using these to form articles on Wikipedia even if we don't think the subject matter is particularly notable in a subjective sense. Hence I want to lean keep in this case. I want to see this article kept and I applaud the intent behind and the prose and research which form it. The only thing that is stopping me is that I am not convinced Belcham is actually a reliable source, and that to me is important in maintaining the integrity of WP as a source of knowledge
