The result was redirect to Cultural impact of the Chernobyl disaster. I don't know that there's that much to merge, but anyone wanting to incorporate it is free to do so. Stifle (talk) 10:42, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge and redirect'
  WP:SINGLEEVENT, as far as I can tell, only discusses whether to merge individuals with notable ebents. In this case, the event itself (her hoax trip) is not notable. Which takes us back to generic WP:BIO. Which is borderline - few RS, focusing primary on her trip, not her person. Which leads me to conclude that she is not notable. Her hoax trip may deserve a mention on some list of hoaxes, and/or in the Chernobyl#In popular culture, where I recommend a one-two sentence summary with best refs is merged and redirected to. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 16:11, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply

  Well, WP:SINGLEEVENT addresses "whether an article should be written about the individual, the event or both". In our case

• Delete per nominator. No real notability. If the

• Merge and redirect as per User:Piotrus. There is nothing notable about this person , but when a hoax makes news worldwide, it is useful to have a one-sentence summary, in this case, at Chernobyl#In popular culture.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:59, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete (revised; see below) per
  WP:SINGLEEVENT is the right guideline here - neither the person nor the event are notable. There seems to be only one source that is actually about her hoax motorcycle trip. Ivanvector (talk) 02:49, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply

• Merge and redirect There are a few reliable sources that mention her after the one event. However, it's all about the hoax, and after weighing it, it probably doesn't constitute significant coverage. Nwlaw63 (talk) 14:52, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge and redirect to where? There is no "popular culture" section at
  Chernobyl Exclusion Zone#Access and tourism where a very brief mention of the hoax could be appropriate. Ivanvector (talk) 15:40, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply
