Notability

I'd been poised to delete this as failing WP:GNG, but Webb has put out a book that seems to just push her past notability guidelines. I'd debated making an article for the book and redirecting there, but the coverage is fairly light so far and this would be best served as a section in this article. If the book gains more publicity with Valentine's Day coming up, we can create a separate article or debate redirecting Webb's article there.Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 10:42, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'd agree with that assessment. I originally put up the notability tag, because if every Digital Media consultant or "Future Thinker" had a page, Wikipedia would have forty thousand resumes. Just graduating Ivy League and starting a business does not rate an article. Likewise, not every author should have a page; there are millions of authors with out-of-print books who don't get a page. If this book has legs after two years, I'd say keep. --Bridgecross (talk) 16:01, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

She's gained some coverage so far, but most of it is more about her commenting about how to game the dating website system rather than about her or her book. I'm still somewhat ambivalent about whether it should be kept or not. It's kind of right at the cusp of pass/fail. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 17:53, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the persona she portrays in her essays on Slate certainly is. If there is some reaction to her style in reliable third-party sources, that may be of interest. Jonathunder (talk) 03:34, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Revisiting this. For me it's still on the cusp. Perhaps it wouldn't be so problematic if the article didn't read like a LinkedIn profile. How many author pages have a headshot and so much professional detail? Even a hint of self-serving intent in an article should raise red flags. --Bridgecross (talk) 15:08, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to send this to AfD, go ahead. If it survives, the promotional tone should go. It's a puff piece now. Jonathunder (talk) 13:28, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Birthday

Can her tweet on her birthday be a source/proof of the exact date she was born? - October 17th https://mobile.twitter.com/amywebb/status/788228617193005056 Nadamisad (talk) 10:49, 11 October 2019 (UTC) The tweet makes it clear it is October 18th. In addition she broadcasted in a live stream the same date of birth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.240.212.220 (talk) 00:50, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
