Contested deletion

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... person meets WP:GNG, evidence with all main national media sources in the article. If it should be deleted it should be done via AfD, not via speedy deletion. --SportsOlympic (talk) 19:06, 23 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Being a leukemia patient is not in itself notable. If she was an established writer of broad experience and depth, she might be considered notable in that respect, but her writing credentials are sadly slim and focus on her battle with the disease. Blanket coverage by the media is not automatic notability. Ref (chew)(do) 19:29, 23 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
Being a leukemia patient does not preclude from being notable either. Lots of WP:RS and WP:V coverage does contribute towards notability. Kremer was a creative individual who wrote and spoke about her disease and thus gained national (not local!) recognition and put a disease on the national agenda. Unfortunately, folks often discount the role of women in society. gidonb (talk) 18:20, 27 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
