Minor student union leader , of no particular note. - primary reports from the not notable National Campaign for fees and cuts - a minor student activist group also of no note, WP:NOTNEWS and WP:ONEEVENT seem to apply in regards to this person, the created biography was redirected to the University of London which is the best place for it, at least for the time being unless additional notability arises.

Keep (as main author). I accept the article is not perfect, but I have found plenty of references for it, and could quite easily find more. She is clearly notable as a student leader, a protester and a widely-quoted source on the protests. I urge people to help the article rather than simply removing the content. To counter some of the arguments above. She is not a "minor" leader, she's the president of the UK's largest students union. AfD when I was still editing, so doesn't reflect the current secondary-sourced version. -mattbuck (Talk) 21:15, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, the sources already on the article are sufficient to demonstrate notability by the relevant standards, and there are more available. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 21:41, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Being in the news over a single event is not what wikipedia is about, we will be stuck with it forever. She is a minor player in a newsworthy event. Off2riorob (talk) 21:46, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
At what point does it stop being a single event? There were I think 4 mass protests in London over the course of a few months, with more planned this week. By that standard you could group, say, the entire 2010 F1 season as a single event. -mattbuck (Talk) 21:57, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, well, in regards to living people, a single event in this subjects life, I mean perhaps a couple of lines in one of the articles - 2010 UK student protests would be best, if there is no content there about her already, people of minimum temporary note don't need or qualify for a wikipedia BLP, if there are on-going reports about this person or she is involved in another notable incident then ok, but imo its NOTNEWS and ONEEVENT notability - redirect to a couple of sentences at the protests article, which on investigation are already there.

Merge (minimally) to 2010 UK student protests-- I have grave doubts as to the notability of the subject. Being president of chairman of a university students' union is clearly NN. Being one of a dozen people invited to meet a minister is also NN. On the other hand, leading a protest movement (as opposed to a single protest event) might be. However, it would probably be better for her to be dealt with in a general article on the protests, at least until she can establish her notability by doing rather more.
