Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kate McCann
To paraphrase nom, "a classic case" of a Merge proposal being brought unnecessarily to AfD.  has been cited as requiring a merge due to notability solely for one event. Let's read #Articles about living people notable only for one event carefully: ''The bare fact that someone has been in the news does not in itself imply that they should be the subject of an encyclopedia entry.'' - OK does not necessarily imply. ''Where a person is mentioned by name in a Wikipedia article about a larger subject, but remains of essentially low profile themselves, we should generally avoid having an article on them.'' Generally avoid -- if they are of low profile. Surely, we can all agree that Mrs. McCann is no longer low-profile. ''If reliable sources only cover the person in the context of a particular event, then a separate biography is unlikely to be warranted.'' Note the use of unlikely. A carefully sourced bio on her seems appropriate. On the other hand, I'm not saying this is a licence to libel. I agree that we must careful to consider: ''Marginal biographies on people with no independent notability can give undue weight to the events in the context of the individual''  —Preceding Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned comment added by
