AfD nomination of Stevanna Jackson
I have nominated Stevanna Jackson, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stevanna Jackson (2nd nomination). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

I oppose this deletion. It may need some HTML adjustments, but beyond that, all of the information inthis article are true and correct.
- Veracity isn't the issue, notability is. However, you'll make more headway if you make your argument at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stevanna Jackson (2nd nomination).--Fabrictramp | talk to me 20:22, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
Dear Fabrictramp,
Although, your point is well taken, I feel compelled to point out that notability is open to many different interpetations ... what you may consider notable, I may not consider notable or remarkable, thus Notability is and can be construed as subjective. Under the articles for deletion, one should not base their opinion on their own personal biases or preferences ... which undoubtedly makes a tremendous amount of other articles on Wikipedia trivial & indiscriminate.
She may not be notable enough for your disposition, however, Stevanna Jackson may inspire a whole generation of young African American teens to strive to be the best they can be. Not just in the arts but in striving to achieve personal excellence in education. Aside from being related to one of the most famous entertainment families in the world, she has made amazing accomplishments on her own through hard work and tenacity. If you can tell me why the other hosts from The Disney movie surfers are notable enough to have their own wiki article then I will let this issue go. But, if Notability is the only basis of proposed deletion, then I must say, all the wikipedia amins have their work cut for them on deletions.
Stevanna has been working as an actress since she is four years old. Beyond being a current host of Disney's Movie Surfers, she has worked with some of the biggest industry producers like Lorne Michaels, Tom Warner & Marcy Carsy. She was also in a live Fox special with Santana. Stevanna also has been in Seventh Heaven as a guest star as Marie, featured on The Tracy Morgan Show as Simone, and a couple of episodes of Zoey 101 as Tasha. There is still lot of other body of work which was not included in the Wikipedia page, however, you had some very basic information. She actually has had quite a facinating story in her young life, but we all have to wait for the book to come out, when it is time.
You may not be one of her fans, but she has a fan base, and a few of them have even started a few myspaces for her. She is just an artist who is under the radar, who will undoubltly make a much greater mark, but Wikipedia should have enough foresight and prudence to be able to recognize the good ones from the great ones.
Currently, Stevanna Jackson is attending Harvard University, and when you inevitably will redo her wikipage, lets hope that Wikipedia will continue to stay relevent and notable.
I am sincerely,
Yours,
Lola
