The following is an archived debate of the deletion review of the page above. Please do not modify it.
Ginny Deerin (talk||history|logs|links|watch) (XfD|restore)

As far as I can tell, the subject easily meets WP:BIO and WP:GNG with at least four in-depth, verifiable, secondary sources (including Skirt! magazine, the Charleston Gazette, Edutopia.org, and Island Eye News). One of the sources is a Newspaper article devoted to Ginny Deerin receiving the Palmetto award, which is apparently a very high civilian honor. She is also a creative professional who founded a significant social monument (the WINGS foundation). Further, two of the discussion contributors suggested they would change their votes if more reliable sources were presented -- and they were, but I don't think those contributors had a chance to change their votes. I think this article deserves another chance -- either through a temporary undeletion or a userfication/revision and submission to AfC. OldGeorgie (talk) 16:48, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, the subject paid an editor to write an article about them. Major COI violation.--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 17:04, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
If so, she deserves her money back; he did a terrible job, with an article that was so promotional as to attract negative attention. If an article can be written, it would have to be started over from scratch. I am not necessarily opposed to paid editing; I am opposed to promotional low quality editing from whatever source. In the circumstances, I am not going to undelete the article for inspection as I usually do/ As for the Palmetto award, recent governors have been awarding several dozens a year.I urge a SNOW SUPPORT on this deletion.
