Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anneke Lucas
either as a biography or reframed as Liberation Prison Yoga. Passes . Problematic content and sources ''currently'' in the article is not relevant to AfD unless the ''entire'' article would need to be deleted and rewritten from scratch in order to be acceptable (i.e. ), and it doesn't look like that's the case. We have an article in http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/02/bringing-yoga-to-prison/283490/ The Atlantic, about a third to half of which is about Lucas/her work (i.e. significant coverage). We have an article in https://mic.com/articles/111976/meet-the-woman-changing-the-prison-experience-one-yoga-mat-at-a-time Mic about her and her work (the title is "Meet the woman who...", so I don't understand those writing this off as being about yoga in prisons rather than about her and ''her work'' bringing yoga into prisons). Additional coverage in http://www.theepochtimes.com/n3/1958639-prison-yoga-is-meditation-the-cure-for-recidivism/?photo=3 Epoch Times. Published interview in http://www.sutrajournal.com/interview-anneke-lucas-prison-yoga-by-vikram-sutshi Sutra Journal. Small bit of press in http://www.villagevoice.com/best-of/2016/civic-life/best-yoga-for-an-underserved-community-9237311 Village Voice. She was also the subject of an interview on http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rob-schware/yoga-prisons_b_3051948.html Huffington Post. On that subject, I want to address a couple things that come up at AfD from time to time. First, an interview is a primary source in the sense that it came from the subject and so can't be viewed as neutral; since it was an interview conducted by and published by an entity with no connection to the subject, it is nonetheless helpful for establishing notability. Second, the Huffington Post is a hugely popular source that absolutely contributes to notability. It has a blog format, but it's one with editors (the extent to which they exercise editorial oversight is spotty, of course, but it's not a personal blog). There are indeed ''many'' contexts in which it's not a reliable source, to be sure, and the ideal would be not to use it in most cases, but for notability purposes it works. There are plenty of sources which aren't known for rigorous, accurate reporting, and yet support notability (think about someone being the cover story in People or Entertainment Weekly or something) because notability is about what's worthy of note, so mainstream sources (assuming we're not talking about a venue that promotes fringe views, etc.) certainly helps notability. Then there are some other not-bottom-of-the-barrel-but-not-great blogs like https://esme.com/resources/content/incarceration/anneke-lucas-liberation-prison-yoga ESME. This seems like GNG to me. &mdash
