Are they about her specifically, or the party? Me-123567-Me (talk) 16:42, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The first and the third are about her potentially getting a $75 fine for illegally having chickens in Whitehorse, the second is an older one more about the party, I just found them and figured I would add them here so I didn't forget them if an article were to be created in the future. Not suggesting this is enough to revert back to an article, just didn't want to lose the links.--kelapstick^(bainuu) 16:49, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's a good idea for us to have a place to collaborate sources we find s down the road it makes it easier. Me-123567-Me (talk) 19:40, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sources I found:

Norm Hamilton's Blog though I know it's not reliable?
GPC announcement Me-123567-Me (talk) 19:40, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder if there's a way to interview her via Wikinews or NowPublic that would help. Me-123567-Me (talk) 20:06, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Neither one of those options would help with notability.--kelapstick^(bainuu) 20:23, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sure it would. She's already notable as leader. The biggest complaint is that there wasn't enough info for an article on it's own. If she wasn't notable, there wouldn't even be a re-direct. Me-123567-Me (talk) 20:28, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The closure of the AfD was because it was deemed that she was not notable enough to have an article, because being a party leader does not come with inherited notability in Wikipedia terms. There is no minimum requirement for lenght for an article, and the length at redirect was longer than several thousand Wikipedia articles currently in existance. Wikinews and NowPublic can not be used as sources because they are user generated content, and therefore do not meet the requriements at WP:RS. Redirects have nothing to do with notability, it is about where someone should be directed if a search is raised, so if someone comes to Wikipedia looking for information on Kristina Calhoun, and there is no article, it is best to link the page to her party, rather than have nothing.--kelapstick^(bainuu) 20:40, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I figure if we do a great job, then we can go back to afd if necessary and re-argue it, but by convention, she is notable as leader. The problem with the first afd is those people who support "leaders in general" didn't speak up. I would have preferred nothing to a re-direct.

All that aside, an interview with her telling people about her, would help a lot down the road. Me-123567-Me (talk) 20:46, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
