Jacqueline Keeler

A prolific writer and activist, but all sources seem to be by her, not about her. No independent sources to be found. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 19:47, 14 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I changed some sources, so problem should be remedied. Chahtaohoyo (talk) 20:44, 14 May 2014 (UTC)ChahtaOhoyo[reply]

Comment Not significantly. The article by Schroeder at The Good Men Project appears to be the only independent source that mentions Keeler, but as Keeler is a contributor to that outlet, this is only somewhat independent. The only truly independent reliable source (Al Jazeera) fails to mention either Keeler or her EONM organization. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 21:02, 14 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm not sure why you say the Good Men Project article is the only independent source that mentions her. The CBS article speaks directly about her & the Nike protest and the Daily Kos article directly mention Keeler and EONM, tying in the connection to the other coverage.

Keep I added 5 more sources establishing notability. I am One of Many (talk) 05:18, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Pretty borderline but this does seem to be one of the leading public faces of the "anti-racial stereotype sports mascot" movement (Washington Redskins, Cleveland Indians, etc.) which is an important public issue in the United States. As the founder of an advocacy group and a person extensively quoted in the media, I feel the burden of proof for this close-call notability-wise should fall upon those seeking deletion. Wikipedia is better off with than without this bio. Carrite (talk) 16:01, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep While I don't agree that mascots are an important public issue in the United States and I'm not very sympathetic to her cause, her name does pop up here and there in connection with the issue. These references are not limited to various blog posts. [1][2][3][4][5]Eudemis (talk) 09:01, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep. Subject now has ample sourcing to meet WP:BIO. gobonobo ⁺ ^c 18:12, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - The Native American mascot controversy is in fact an important issue, which Keeler is working to bring to greater public awareness and has generated news in reliable sources.FriendlyFred (talk) 20:27, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
