One article in the Wall Street Journal does not make someone notable, and I could find no other mention of her. I also searched for sources about her place of work, 77th Shoe Repair, and I also could not find sources. Fences&Windows 00:02, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Speedy delete an article on a shoe shiner!? Come on. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 00:43, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete A bootblack can be notable, especially if he or she is humble and lovable. As for Ms. Gomez, when she gets an animated TV series, then she'll be notable. EEng (talk) 01:03, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment. I've worked on lots of biographies here at Wikipedia, always people who are rich, famous, well-connected, driving in fancy limousines and attending lavish parties. Gomez is different because she's, well, one of us: hardworking, underpaid (in Wikipedia, nonpaid). And I thought it was cool she got recognized in the Wall Street Journal. But I'll leave it up to the community's judgment about whether to keep her in. I'm hoping she stays, but I'm not voting here, but it's really up to you fine people.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 02:01, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy delete mostly looks like a copy of the good parts of the W.S.J. article on her. Sumsum2010·T·C 05:27, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete She sounds like a wonderful person. But we can't have an article on every wonderful person who gets a human interest story written about them. When I was 12, I had an article written about me because of a poem I wrote. My sister had a piece on CNN a number of years ago because she was a bone-marrow donor. I bet I could open any random paper and find a similar "feel good" story about a nice guy doing his job and flying under the radar. That's not enough for inclusion in an encyclopedia.

- Delete Nice person, but fails WP:BIO. Lacks multiple reliable sources with significant coverage. Not everyone with one heart warming article needs to be permanently included in an encyclopedia. Edison (talk) 19:33, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
