The result was keep. Nomination withdrawn and closing based on WP:SNOW, as WP:SK notes that an AfD cannot be closed as speedy keep if there is a delete !vote. The outcome is effectively the same. Kurykh (talk) 05:55, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article is an example of Wikipedia:BIO1E. Although her plane crash has been covered by New York Times and Los Angeles Times, I cannot find any articles that describe her works prior to her death. Yoshiman6464 ^♫🥚 02:04, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn by nominator - After doing a bit more digging, I finally found some reviews of her first work, "Circling the Drain", dating 1999. These include sources from "Los Angeles Times", "New York Times", and "Salon". Furthermore, in an article posted on Sun-Sentinel, Davis appeared in many magazines, including "Esquire" and "Seventeen". Finally, Davis appeared in a 2003 interview for Indy Week prior to her death, as seen here. Yoshiman6464 ^♫🥚 03:30, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete- It's not BLP1E because she isn't alive. However, WP:BIO1E is definitely in case here. If this plane crash has its own article, perhaps this could be added there. MereTechnicality ⚙ 02:14, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@MereTechnicality: I fixed the category from BLP1E to BIO1E. Also, the incident was mentioned in the Asheville Regional Airport page since she and her family died 18 miles from the airport. Yoshiman6464 ^♫🥚 02:27, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep with kudos to User:Yoshiman6464. This appears to have been a good faith nomination of a poorly sourced article that gave the appearance of BIO1E, but Nom double-checked and has now sourced the article strongly, showing that Davis had drawn sufficient critical attention to pass WP:AUTHOR before her tragic, early death.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:36, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
