Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jocelyne Couture-Nowak (second nomination)
Several people have expressed their *personal* opinion on whether *they* think this person is notable.  Those opinions are essentially worthless and irrelevant.  The question is whether she's been found notable by *external* reliable sources.  This is indicated by those sources writing about (.e.g. "noting") the subject non-trivial.  This has been done.  Whether she "earned" it, or had it while she was alive, or what the reasoning behind it, is not important.  Please, leave you personal opinions at home, and follow the sources.  For a long time, notability was used despite the complete lack of an agreed working definition.  But, since we have an actuall working definition for it in , we aught to actually use it. Also, this "redirect to list" nonsense is utter rubbish., and violates OT.  We're not a source of lists of people killed.  If there wasn't sufficient non-trivial coverage, then nothing should exist under the article title, not even a redirect.  Also, please read , before mentioning it.  That's for people known just to family and friends.  If people can just put aside their personal bias, and look and independent sources, and their coverage, this is pretty straightforward.  We can not function effectively if if AFD is about subjective tests.  That would mean, we delete articles based on whoever happens to show for AFD
