No indication that this living person meets Wikipedia:Notability (people). Qwfp (talk) 12:50, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

  • Unsure. I've never heard of her, but then I don't read the Daily Telegraph. Likewise, there are countless articles in Wikipedia about journalists who seem equally obscure to me. In defence of this article, she does write for a leading national newspaper and, in addition to being a columnist, is also a novelist. That makes her more than just a run-of-the-mill journo.

:WP:Other stuff exists, but that's not relevant here. Her one novel is yet to be published, so doesn't help towards meeting WP:AUTHOR. Qwfp (talk) 15:06, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

  • Comment. I'd have thought that someone who has been contributing articles since 2006 would be notable by now, but it's difficult to tell because GNews is dominated by articles by her, when we're looking for articles about her. Any clues? Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 11:33, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

:She's worked mainly for the Telegraph, so the hits there are not independent, and it's possible to [http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=%22Ceri+Radford%22+source%3A%22-telegraph%22+source%3A%22-newswire%22+source%3A%22-wire%22+source%3A%22-presswire%22+source%3A%22-PR%22+source%3A%22-release%22+source%3A%22-wikipedia%22+&btnG=Search+Archives&scoring=a remove articles in the Telegraph from GNews Archive], leaving 9 hits that (to my eyes) provide no evidence that she meets WP:BIO. --Qwfp (talk) 12:19, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

  • Delete. Not yet notable. Fails WP:AUTHOR. Her book, not yet published, fails WP:BK per WP:CRYSTAL. If the book is published and wins notoriety, then we can recreate the article. Qworty (talk) 19:52, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
