| - I know this will be a controversial nomination, but here it goes anyway. Fails WP:NOTNEWS, WP:BLP1E, and WP:CRYSTAL (for those who argue that she will become an important figure in anti-bullying efforts). This news broke less than 24 hours ago. Wikipedia is not a news site. Give it some time, people. SheepNotGoats (talk) 16:51, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
* Keep, I didn't add this article because it's news. I added it because she's notable and the event that happened to her is notable. Just because it's covered all over the news doesn't mean Klein doesn't deserve her own article. She's just like Rudy Eugene and other notable people that have been covered in the news recently, only she's in the news for a different reason.

* Delete — fails WP:BLP1E. Yes, this might be covered by many news agencies, however the biography are not notable enough to have an article. -- Luke (Talk) 17:02, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
* Maybe renaming would be better because it is likely that event will likely become notable in the future. Maybe renaming the article and adding a section to discuss the subject of the event would be good. -- Luke (Talk) 23:06, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
* Note - maybe not the bio, but the event is certainly notable as it's been covered by NBC, CNN, CBS, etc. Soulboost (talk) 17:03, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
* Maybe move the page to Making The Bus Monitor Cry, but I would still keep the page Soulboost (talk) 17:24, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
* Keep Informative and nicely referenced article linked from the front page of Google News. No other place has such a good summary of events. --Pmsyyz (talk) 17:17, 21 June 2012 (UTC) To avoid wasting more of your fellow editors' time, please read WP:ITSUSEFUL before commenting further.

* Keep Although it's true that she is only notable for a single event, the amount of coverage and the number of people viewing the video, and the amount of money raised online, make it clear that this is likely to be one of those events that will be discussed for a long time, and will likely become the basis for new suggested policies, educational programs, and perhaps even legislation. In that sense, it's a bit like the Rodney King case, which was indisputably worthy of an article, or the Phoebe Prince case.

* Wait Normally I just feel like these should be deleted right away, but people did take the time to dig up information for a knee-jerk deletion to take it all away. I recommend waiting a week or two to see if she's just the flavor of the week, or if this actually has long term merit. I don't feel that getting picked up by the mainstream media is necessarily grounds for permanent enshrinement into the Wikipedian consciousness either. (which was my argument for deletion for what's-her-name in that contraception debate) Sarysa (talk) 17:51, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

* Delete textbook WP:BLP1E. If we're still talking about this a year from now, create an article for.the event.
* I note that there is only one sentence in this article that contains actual biographical information about the woman. Isn't there some other "List of ..." article this can be merged to? <a href="/mediawiki/User:Zad68" title="User:Zad68"><span style="color:#D2691E"><b>Zad</b></span></a><a href="/mediawiki/User_Talk:Zad68" title="User Talk:Zad68"><span style="color:#206060"><i>68</i></span></a> 22:25, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
* How about a 1-sentence entry for the event at: List_of_Internet_phenomena#Videos <a href="/mediawiki/User:Zad68" title="User:Zad68"><span style="color:#D2691E"><b>Zad</b></span></a><a href="/mediawiki/User_Talk:Zad68" title="User Talk:Zad68"><span style="color:#206060"><i>68</i></span></a> 14:23, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
* Keep Its not about the person but the event, and the internet phenomenon of a viral video that got ample news coverage, and resulted in a large amount of money raised for the woman. If necessary you can rename the article. Dream Focus 22:53, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Except Tank Man doesn't fit BLP1E's don't-have-an-article criteria, so your statement is meaningless. Have any comments that match the subject at hand to actual policy and guidelines?

* Delete. This is only temporarily notable, and Wikipedia is not a news site. For example, it's already off the front of Google's news page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.192.120.102 (talk) 00:08, 22 June 2012 (UTC) Still linked from Google News when not logged in, first story in U.S. section. --Pmsyyz (talk) 06:26, 22 June 2012 (UTC) So is Help!

* Strong Delete. Not notable at all. NorthernThunder (talk) 01:21, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
* Not notable at all? I guess CNN, CBS, MSNBC, People Magazine, Fox News, Huff Post, Washington Post, USA Today and over $400k raised in less than 48 hours just don't establish notability anymore.

* Strong keep, if at least for the moment. Very notable. Currently being covered by thousands of sources internationally. Very viral story. Also noteworthy is the amount of money raised for her in a single day. Sources are making it clear that the half-million USD fund is substantial, notable, and newsworthy. As the story itself seems more notable than the person, a renaming seems logical. Dmarquard (talk) To avoid wasting more of your fellow editors' time, please read WP:BLP1E before commenting further.

* Keep, This event is perhaps the most publicised and clear example of a larger cultural issue. Karen Klein is not Rosa Parks, but her bus incident has opened the eyes of millions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrearlyadopter (talk • contribs) 15:26, 22 June 2012 (UTC) — Mrearlyadopter (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
* Delete, easily fails WP:BLP1E. Athene cunicularia (talk) 15:29, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
* Keep but rename and refocus. Although the person clearly fails WP:BLP1E, the viral video easily meets notability. I suggest renaming the article to Bus monitoring bullying video or Making The Bus Monitor Cry or something and refocusing the article from being about the person to be about the video and the public's reaction to it.

* Keep and Rename There is not enough biography about Karen Klein herself. In-Correct (talk) 22:10, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
* Keep and Rename based upon the event, per WP:PRESERVE and WP:BIO1E. The topic of the event and viral video has received significant coverage in reliable sources. See also WP:NTEMP, "Notability is not temporary..." Northamerica1000(talk) 08:59, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
