BLP1E: bio of a minor child (and younger sibling) notable for one event, and inevitably containing embarrassing details. Can be covered with a referenced mention in one or more relevant articles. Yngvadottir (talk) 16:13, 11 October 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Comment I'm in two minds about deleting this. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 16:26, 11 October 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Weak keep - I thought about AfD initially when article was created, but the subject seems to be medically significant, and has received appropriate validation through reliable sources. Undoubtedly she will continue to be studied and/or receive coverage throughout her lifetime. It is unfortunate she is a minor and if kept would suggest that the article be pending change protected (WP:PCPP)--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(talk) 17:01, 11 October 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Keep - coverage in RS and potential for eventual expansion make this worth keeping (and protecting). And since mental health no longer has the same stigma, I don't see how any of this could be said to be "embarrassing", especially with such coverage.--Auric talk 18:03, 11 October 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Keep: There are reliable sources (I was interrupted while adding some when this was nominated for deletion) This "one event" is surely a misreading of the article and lack of research into her story. She has been diagnosed with a life-long devastating severe mental illness. There has been and will continue to be news in reliable sources about her, her family life, her prognosis and about the controversy of how her parents have decided to care for her. Her parents have decided to expose January to the world on television, talk shows and in newsprint, so it is way too late for us to worry about embassasing details.

Delete per BLP1E as well as decency. That her parents have put her on a TV show doesn't mean we need to put her in an encyclopedia. So now she's fodder for all those media, but at best this leads to NOTNEWS; I see no indication that this person is doing something, or that something has been done to her, that has lasting encyclopedic value.

Keep: Numerous reliable secondary sources. Personal opinions don't matter. Zambelo; talk 11:22, 14 October 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Delete Besides BLP1E, there's the mention of her brother with his diagnosis, which seems like a serious BLP violation to me, and I don't think anybody can argue that her brother is notable. In any case, this looks like a textbook example of 1E. --Randykitty (talk) 12:20, 14 October 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Delete, essentially per rationale by Drmies, above. Cheers, — Cirt (talk) 00:07, 16 October 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Delete per nom and per Drmies. --John (talk) 22:18, 18 October 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Delete per nom and rationale by Drmies. --Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 14:54, 19 October 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Delete per nom, Drmies, basic common decency, and because being "considered one of the youngest children to be treated for schizophrenia" isn't notable (though the copy-pasting of this exact phrase from the source may possibly be a copyright violation).
