The result was delete. This is a BLP and sourcing is insufficient. If folks think a redirect to EcoLatinos is helpful, that can be done editorially. Star Mississippi 00:30, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

- Keep and help improve. I tend to disagree with the above rather harsh expression of the sources. The article has been created during the Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/Wikipedia Edit-a-thon: Women in Environmental Justice today. None of us landed on our feet with perfect knowledge and sourcing when we started. This is the user's first time ever trying to create a Wikipedia article. It would be more helpful to Wikipedia if editors would help clean this up a little. — Maile (talk) 23:33, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

- That argument you have made isn't a criteria for evaluation of notability. Instead it seems to be an appeal to emotion as opposed the corect criteria, which is a rational examination of it quality and construction and how it relates to notabilty policy. That is in mainspace article, so it will evaluated as a mainspace article. I'll will have a look at the sources. scope_creepTalk 22:59, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
- I was going to vote draftify because I strongly agree with your point about supporting new editors, but unfortunately, there don't seem to be RSes. voorts (talk/contributions) 02:34, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

- Weak keep as the sources demonstrate notability, though some more would be great. The article needs expansion but the sources about her show that she passes GNG. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 00:28, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Could she be a section of an "EcoLatinos" article, as her organisation seems more notable ? DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 00:28, 12 October 2023 (UTC)7
- Comment Its states in WP:BLPthat "Wikipedia must get the article right. Be very firm about the use of high-quality sources". Lets look at the sources:
- Ref 1 [1] This is a 6 line profile in a blog. It is not significant source. It is a WP:SPSnon-rs source.
- Ref 2 [2] This is a single word mention. It is not significant source.
- Ref 3 [3] This a 4-line profile. Its another WP:SPSsource. It is not significant.
- Ref 4 [4] This doesn't mention her at all.
- Ref 5 [5] This is PR, and while it is covering here organisation, it is PR. It is written as a PR piece. It is plain as day.

- Delete: I also conducted a search and found no articles that establish notability; specifically, while Stemmle is mentioned in several sources, there is nothing that contains significant coverage about the subject. I agree with Scope_creep's source review after reviewing the sources myself. voorts (talk/contributions) 02:31, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. Fails WP:BASIC. Sadly there just't isn't enough sourcing on the subject to pass GNG. I was able to locate two newspaper articles where she was mentioned in passing and a third where she was interviewed briefly as the Latino liaison for Prince George's County State Attorney's Office to comment on a new Maryland bill on immigration enforcement in 2003. None of the articles were about her, and wouldn't constitute "in-depth coverage". The source analysis above is also persuasive.4meter4 (talk) 15:40, 13 October 2023 (UTC)]
- Delete per nom. Commendable community leadership does not automatically translate to encyclopedic notability. BD2412 T 00:23, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
