Katherine Beck

"doesn't seem very notable" Ben-w 00:29, 16 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep. She writes for the New Yorker. Zoe 00:31, August 16, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, writing for a paper doesn't do it for me, and her academic role is an adjunct teaching position so she probably fails

    • The New Yorker is a national literary magazine, well-known for years. It's a major publication. Zoe 01:04, August 16, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - It is not verifiable she contributes regularly to The New Yorker[1][2]. In a Google test the only notable author found is K. K. Beck aka "Katherine Kristine Beck Marris"[3] who is an unrelated author, sometimes just called "Katherine Beck", who deserves has an article. Another "Katherine Beck" who is probably a different person, is a non-notable photographer and and writer for the student paper Daily Trojan in Southern California. --rob 21:35, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • This nom never seems to have been added to a main page, at least not that I can see. Adding now. Keep. JYolkowski // talk 20:53, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Notable enough. Delete -- appears to be alternately unverifiable and false in all respects. Good research guys. Sdedeo 21:12, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as per Splash.Roodog2k (talk) 22:57, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. This article namedrops some famous people, but the subject isn't quite notable enough yet. Gamaliel 23:18, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • WP:Bio specifies that we may include biographies of "Published authors, editors, and photographers who have written books with an audience of 5,000 or more or in periodicals with a circulation of 5,000 or more." Ms Beck appears to meet this criteria so this article should be kept. However, given that there is another Katherine Beck who meets the same criteria, this article should be moved to Katherine Beck (poet)
    and a disambiguation article created in this space referring to her and to the novellist. I therefore vote to Keep, move and disambiguate.     Delete as per user Rob until her existence is verified.
