Fails WP:BIO. Subject of article notable only because of suicide and events surrounding it. ScottyBerg (talk) 18:36, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Note: This is the first AfD for this article. Previous AfD was for a fictional character of the same name. ScottyBerg (talk) 18:37, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

• Delete I originally put a prod2 with "sad as this story is, it's a classical case of BLP1E. In addition, the article reads more like an attack piece on the Savages and The Communications Clinic". This still holds. --Guillaume2303 (talk) 18:56, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
• Keep. Not only did the subject of this article play an important, and cited, role in Ireland during the US Election but she was also active in Irish political life. I have just added citations confirming this. I've looked at this article and if anything it's being far too kind about the role of The Communications Clinic. There are many places on the internet which are far more straightforward. 89.101.59.188 (talk) 19:41, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

• Keep - This young woman had a promising future in Irish public life. In addition, the manner in which the paper has handled her article has become a matter of public discussion in itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nodin (talk • contribs) 21:01, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

• If that is true, then there could conceivably be an article on the handling of the article, it doesn't make Fitzgerald notable, though. --Guillaume2303 (talk) 22:16, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

• Keep Clearly notable, but the article can be improved. Night of the Big Wind _talk 21:19, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

• Would you mind explaining why you think that this does not fall under WP:BLP1E? --Guillaume2303 (talk) 22:16, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
• Closing administrator should note that User:Night of the Big Wind has been following my deletion nominations, and has been to desist. His "keep" is not a good-faith contribution. ScottyBerg (talk) 23:29, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

• Delete. The page feels a little bit like a memorial page, and there are the issues compounded by WP:BLP1E. As an aside, I recognize that BLP1E notes living persons (which, regretfully, Ms. Fitzgerald is no longer), but the situation that remains is that she is only notable for one event. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 22:52, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
• Keep I really hate the idea that she's been branded a liar with no evidence to support that. Maybe it's true, but the IT should not apologise to the employer without telling us exactly why. — Preceding

• Keep - for next few weeks subject of multiple national newspaper articles. subject of prime time national TV interview (RTE 1, 3 Dec) and of national radio interviews (Newstalk). Subject of this article is linked with senior national figures in public life in Ireland, possibly leading to a much larger story revolving around the behaviour and ethical conflicts of a dominant PR company that both advises many national politicians from all parties and also runs the national broadcaster.
