Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Haliey Welch

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep‎ but move to Hawk Tuah Girl and make it primarily about the meme rather than the person. This is one of those strange discussions where everybody essentially agrees (or at least doesn't disagree) on that facts but reaches different conclusions about the outcome. There's agreement that there is enough sourcing. There's agreement that this source concerns an otherwise low-profile living person who is only known for one event. There's agreement that this doesn't mean that the event itself (the 'Hawk Tuah' meme) can't be notable even if the subject isn't. The !votes are pretty much equally split and pretty much equally policy-based, so that doesn't get us anywhere. The only path I can chart through this is to base the outcome on the following observations:

  1. There is no consensus for outright deletion
  2. There is a consensus that if the current subject is notable, she is only notable for one event
  3. Editing the article to adjust its scope would address this and is therefore preferred to deletion
