Proposed merge with Angela Nagle

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result of this discussion was to not merge. Akrasia25 (talk) 00:59, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The article Kill All Normies was recently created. While this book is not the only thing Nagle has written (though it is her only book) it appears to be the only thing she is known for by the world at large, invoking WP:BIO1E. Her freelance columns here and there are mere footnotes to her author blurb, and every interview I've seen is directly related to, and in response to, Kill All Normies. This biography already gives more coverage to the book and its impacts than the author herself, and so I propose the biographical content be merged into a paragraph or two of Kill All Normies (per WP:MERGEREASONs #2 & #3) until the point when sufficient biographical coverage independent of the book exists, otherwise this biography may never expand beyond a stub without needlessly repeating coverage of the book or dredging up unencyclopedic trivia. --Animalparty!

Oppose . After this proposal started, Nagle published an article in American Affairs that is causing a bit of an intellectual firestorm, The Left Case against Open Borders. E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:25, 23 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@E.M.Gregory: We need more than a primary source by Nagle to demonstrate she is independently notable for this. Where is this intellectual firestorm mentioned? A biography worth writing (and reading) shouldn't be a mere repository of primary sources and passing mentions. --Animalparty! (talk) 19:48, 23 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

an article that this editor removed from the article before proposing a merge. Queen-washington (talk) 20:08, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

oppose no reason to merge. notable in own right per wp:NAUTHOR, and Wikipedia:Notability (books). Queen-washington (talk) 19:49, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
oppose No reason to merge. I came here having read "The Left Case against Open Borders", and have become aware of "Kill all Normies" as a result. The "intellectual firestorm" on the left led to an interview on Fox News with Tucker Carlson, which, of course, has given the controversy global attention. She is certainly notable.

Oppose - while this might have made sense initially, clearly her notability has increased in the intervening months. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 15:03, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
OpposeThere is no doubt that there is more to come from here.Haemmerli (talk) 08:26, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Nagle is relevant for more than Kill All Normies, so her own article is not an instance of WP:BLP1E. Irishpolitical (talk) 08:45, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
