Maria Gunnoe

The subject is a non-notable environmentalist. The citations given are about the mining practice not her, and therefore can not be used to establish notability.-- Kelapstick (talk) 21:36, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~Merge. The article doesn't have a lot of content and the individual doesn't seem particularly notable by herself. I'd suggest folding her information along with that in some of the wikilinked articles from the Maria Gunnoe entry into an article on environmental activism related to mountaintop removal mining.

Merge (maybe to Mountaintop removal mining#Criticism). There are a fair few reliable sources ([1], [2], [3], [4],[5],[6]) that mention her but they are all very much in the context of discussing a broader topic (mountaintop removal mining) - there are no articles or sources specifically about her or her campaigning. Should she become more prominent as an activist (and independent notability is established) the information could be split off into a separate article.

Merge or delete. Everybody believes in stuff. Also, Joe A. Callaway Award for Civic Courage (whose article doesn't really establish its own notability either) says that award recipients have taken "some personal risk", but the Maria Gunnoe article doesn't describe anything even unusual for a community activist, let alone notable. --Closeapple (talk) 10:26, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge. It would do well merged. It doesn't stand up on its own and it would be a shame to delete it, as there some good facts in it that shouldn't be lost. TopGearFreak ^Talk 16:14, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
