Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tonya Rouse
As always, single-market local television journalists are not automatically guaranteed Wikipedia articles just because they exist — nothing stated here is "inherently" notable at all, and the article is completely unsourced for the purposes of even getting her over . Rather, this is following that depressingly standard template for generating bad articles about local television and radio personalities — take her staff profile on the |self-published website of her own employer, rephrase it just enough to avoid  issues, reference it to itself with no evidence whatsoever of any outside coverage about her in any other sources ''independent'' of her employer, and voilà. That's not how it works, however, and never has been — for one thing, even the staff profile itself is gone from the article now, because she doesn't work there anymore, and that's exactly one of the ''reasons'' why the existence of a staff profile was never an instant notability clincher all by itself in the first place. And we're much stricter on both notability and sourcing issues today than we were 12 years ago, because we've learned a lot of very hard and painful lessons about why we ''have'' to be
