This page does not meet the basic guidelines for notability. Parent has no significant coverage in secondary sources that are reliable and independent of the topic. Most references provided are to promotional blogs & websites and to her own website. The coverage of Parent is not in-depth, and she is mostly known for her appearance on the The Lang and O’Leary Exchange in 2013, which makes her very close to being known for one event. Some citations point to dead or updated links that are have no relevance to the material being cited. Most sources quoted in the previous AfD refer to the Lang Exchange interview and provide no significant or in-depth coverage of Parent. One of the articles is about Kevin Folta, with some reference to Parent. The article has not been improved since the previous AfD 8==8 Boneso (talk) 22:27, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as I said in AfD1, "possibly speedy delete G11 as promotionalism. A report of a non notable activist's series of minor interviews.". DGG ( talk ) 22:59, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Same as the first AFD, entirely unnotable and feels promotional in nature. PureRED | talk to me | 01:06, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – Continues to meet WP:BASIC per a review of available online sources. Concerns with promotional tone can be addressed by copy editing. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 03:23, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I don't see what has changed since the "keep" result of last time, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rachel Parent. I think deletion would be a pro-Monsanto move which breaches NPOV. --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 04:05, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - She seems to have sufficient media coverage to meet WP:NBIO. In fact O'Leary stated "You’re young, you’re articulate, you’re getting lots of media" in a CBC interview. So there you are, "lots of media" equals notability. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:51, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Numerous secondary sources.--Ipigott (talk) 12:02, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. First, the first AfD was a Keep, we don't just keep trying. Second, since the previous AFD, we have Rachel Parent to Receive 2018 Rob Stewart Youth Eco-Hero from Planet in Focus, May 25th, 2018, T.O.'s most inspiring women of 2017: Rachel Parent, Growing appetite to see food security as a women’s issue April 29, 2018, and probably others, these were just the first three I found. She's not getting less notable, she's getting more notable. --GRuban (talk) 12:14, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I noticed her getting used as an example in a Win-Win negotiating book, Step-by-Step Guide to Win-Win Negotiating Every Day. She is still turning up in news items about her (not references in passing) in major Canadian publications. ☕ Antiqueight ^chatter 14:24, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - As far as I'm aware, hippie-cringe isn't a valid deletion rationale (yet). Friendly reminder that notability is about the sources that exist and not the sources in the Wikipedia article. GMG ^talk 15:56, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep BUT Rachel is not just some random kid though. This article is written as if she just "happened" upon GMO and took on the big wigs. Several, well researched articles have pointed out that her father (Wayne Parent) is the CEO of https://www.nutritionhouse.com/ a family run business. It's fairly clear that rather than being what she's sold to the public as, she's a "shill" for her parent's business. I have tried to explain this on the talk page but clearly I don't understand WP etiquette sufficiently. A more experience (and unbiased) editor should take a very close look at this since I have deep social media connections to the Pro-GM lobby and could be accused of bias.
