The article contains minimal content. The subject does not pass notability. The References only make passing mention of the article subject and do not infer notability directly upon the article subject. It is unclear how the references 1 & 2 relate to the article subject at all. isfutile:P (talk) 15:30, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep subject is notable, awarded major national award - viz: Queen's Award for Enterprise Promotion.

...and WP:TROUT nominator for creating 8 similar AfD's in 7 minutes, clearly without applying WP:BEFORE.

Comment The Keep comment does not respond to the lack of significant third party coverage raised in the AfD. Also, the comment above breaches WP:NPA and is not constructive. The articles submitted to AfD were detailed in another AfD https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Nicholas_Bowen&oldid=686191498, by user User:NewYorkActuary due to the similarities in terms of lack of significant third party coverage. Perhaps the article author could attach sources which demonstrate significant third party coverage to satisfy notability. isfutile:P (talk) 17:45, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

~~delete~~. because my search on Proquest Newspapers found only 4 articles, all in the Leicester Mercury, the newspaper she worked for.E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:46, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
What are the dates? Though the article gives her start date, it seems that she moved on to other things pretty quickly. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 13:41, 11 November 2015 (UTC).[reply]

I can't find a start date at the newspaper. She moved form Canada to Leicester in the "late 1980s" and became active in charity work. I see no indication of what she did during the first 3 decades of adult life. Here's some text from her Leicester Mercury obit "She returned to the UK in the late 1980s. She then worked in a variety of roles and was instrumental in the setting up of the Brit School for Performing Arts and Technology, in London.In the late 1990s she was artistic director and chief executive of the Brewhouse Arts Centre in Burton upon Trent. She was also a founder of the Leicestershire environmental charity the Ken Chamberlain Trust, a director of children's charity Toys on the Table Trust and regional director of the Prince's Trust East Midlands." Apparently a philanthropist, as well as a social activist. Not clear. If the award suffices, then I'm not objecting. But it's odd how minor and local the coverage is.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:52, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for that reference. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 14:11, 13 November 2015 (UTC).[reply]
Keep if she's won a notable award, she's notable. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 15:11, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - she awarded Queen's Award for Enterprise Promotion - if the latter is notable enough for an article, then it makes sense that the award recipients are equally as notable. Atsme^📞📧 22:35, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
