Relationships do not confer notability. Ex-wife of a notable person. No achievements of her own, awards, fame, nada.S. M. Sullivan (talk) 09:38, 2 June 2009 (UTC)......(fixing for original nominator [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Spirit_Spine&diff=prev&oldid=293910078], no opinion implied by me Drawn Some)

  • Keep, amply satisfies WP:NOTE: has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. See results in [http://books.google.com/books?q=%22Sara+Northrup%22&btnG=Search+Books 40 books], [http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=%22Sara+Northrup%22&hl=en&ned=us&sa=N&lnav=m&scoring=a 23 news articles], [http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&lr=&q=%22Sara+Northrup%22+scientology&btnG=Search 7 scholarly sources], as well as additional sources in other archival news databases.

  • Keep more than satisfies notability. I have also started an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#User_S._M._Sullivan_making_a_number_of_suspicious_edits_to_Scientology_articles ANI] discussion about this user. Considering the recent CoS ARBcom I find this nomination in bad faith. Ridernyc (talk) 11:04, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep Plenty of non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources to establish notability per WP:BIO independent of infamous hubby. Drawn Some (talk) 11:08, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep. No valid reason for deletion. Hairhorn (talk) 12:28, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep. S. M. Sullivan appears to be confused about what notability actually means on Wikipedia - it's not about who a person is, per se, it's about how much coverage the person has had in independent secondary reliable sources. Cirt's citations above demonstrate that Sara Northrup does indeed qualify. She was not only L. Ron Hubbard's second wife, she was also the girlfriend of the occultist Jack Parsons and a significant figure in the occult movement in southern California in the mid-1940s (to the point that Aleister Crowley felt moved to denounce her). I'll have a go at expanding the article - there is certainly a lot that could be added. -- ChrisO (talk) 19:55, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

::I have completely rewritten and expanded the article, which is now at Sara Northrup Hollister. Notability should certainly not be an issue now! -- ChrisO (talk) 23:47, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

  • Keep I am rescinding my delete as non-notable vote. Great job, ChrisO! S. M. Sullivan (talk) 23:59, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
