Promotional article on non-notable person. Article on this person previosly deleted: see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sarah-Jayne Gratton. I'd speedy this, but being unable to view original article am not sure it meets the strict criteria. TheLongTone (talk) 15:06, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

: This article is a considerable improvement over the deleted article. It's no longer a promotional piece as suggested and has been deemed to be within the scope of WikiProject Biography, as indicated on the article's talk page. {{WikiProject Biography|living=yes}} — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.140.96.21 (talkcontribs) 18:04, 17 January 2014‎ (UTC)

:: Yes, the new article is significantly better than the previous one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Davidbaniston (talkcontribs) 09:08, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

:::CommentAbove added by article creator, a SPA. Article has unfounded claims and relies on flaky sources.TheLongTone (talk) 09:34, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

:::: I would regard Cambridge Business magazine, In Spire magazine and Glyndŵr University as credible secondary sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Davidbaniston (talkcontribs) 23:45, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

:::::You might. The university I'll buy: it's used to support the claim of an MBA. The Cambridge Business magazine is a useless cite, since the url just dumps you at the head of a 100plus page pdf document. As to the last, I beg to differ.TheLongTone (talk) 00:20, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

::::::Would it be possible to directly link to the article in Cambridge Business magazine. The article is on page 69? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.140.96.21 (talkcontribs) 10:30, 28 January 2014

::::The interview with Gratton in the Cambridge magazine is comprehensive and confirms her notability, along with her early career as an actress. There are other articles, which are referenced too; again, establishing notability and validates the Wiki article — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.140.96.21 (talk) 11:20, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

  • Weak Keep, the interview in Cambridge Business is pretty fluffy, but it is substantial and independent as far as I can tell. She's borderline, but I think just squeaks over the WP:GNG bar. Lankiveil (speak to me) 12:05, 5 February 2014 (UTC).

  • keep The Cambridge magazine piece (which starts on page 67, {{U|TheLongTone}}, as I have added to the cite) is enough, aand there is significantly more. The In Spire piece also looks quite useful as a cite. DES (talk) 01:23, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

::The In Spire piece is useless as a cite, since it principally selfmade assertions. It's not exactly a heavyweight source, and the Cambridge magazine is little better. The woman is a relentless self-promoter: it would be remarkable if there was zero coverageTheLongTone (talk) 01:31, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
