Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jerilyn Lee Brandelius
I'm not really a fan of "Weak keep" or "Weak delete" :WP:!VOTEs since I tend to think you have to fall on either one side of the fence or the other and "weak" anything seems more of a "Comment" than not; so, I think that the ''S.F. Chronicle'' obituary plus  is enough to keep this (at least for now). The article appears (at least in my opinion) to have been primarily created as a fluff piece (perhaps by a fan) and wasn't regularly edited over the years; so, it's not surprising that it ended up here. Due to a recent :Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions/Archive 1074#My notable friend Jerilyn Lee Brandelius is probably dying. How can I recruit editors to improve her article?|question about the article posted at the Teahouse and then her subsequent death, however, it started to attract more attention, and this AFD probably further caused it to appear on the radar of editors generally interested in trying to improve it (even if that means trimming out inappropriate content). When I posted at :Talk:Jerilyn Lee Brandelius#Notability on September 3, it was probably still too soon real world time wise for |reliable sources to have caught up and published things like the aforementioned obituary; after all, Brandelius is sort of a niche figure who doesn't really seem to generate lots of wide-spread reliable source coverage while they are alive, but people seem to recollect and write about after the person has died. As sad as it may seem, sometimes such persons have to die before more people decide to assess their overall impact ("legacy") and start to write about them. For this reason, I expect that as more time passes that there's a pretty good chance that more stuff about Brandelius (not only about her connection to the band, but also about her in her own right) is likely to be published. I'm not talking fan page type of  stuff, but actual reliable source types of stuff.{{pb}}Excluding the   !votes left above since they are not going to help resolve anything, I'd be interested in hearing as to how some of those who commented early on now feel about the article. I'm not asking anyone to change their !vote, but asking how they assess the ''S.F. Chronicles'' obituary. FWIW, I tried a different Google search and came up with https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/10/obituaries/katie-lee-folk-singer-who-fought-to-protect-a-canyon-dies-at-98.html this ''NYT'' obituary about :Katie Lee (singer) which claims that Lee was Brandelius stepmom. That's not in and of itself a justification for notability per , but it might further indicate NEXIST.{{pb}}As for redirecting this to the book's article, that seems counter-intuitive to me because if the book is notable than the author should be notable per item 3 of . I understand that might not seem entirely logical to some in a Wikipedia sense, but it would be preferable (in my opinion) to keep the bio about the author and redirect/merge the content about the book into it as opposed to trying to do the opposite if it comes down to a choice of keeping one article or the other
