This article, while purportedly about a court case, seems to in fact be a bio of one of the participants in the court case. Either way, neither she nor the case itself are notable.

For the case, it received some news coverage in 2023 when it was first filed and when it was dismissed, but only one story has been written about it this year, despite the fact that it went to the 10th Circuit. It was later dismissed by the 10th Circuit under procedural grounds, which was not covered at all. As the case was dismissed in both venues it appeared in, it is very unlikely it will have any relevance going forward, whether to the parties themselves or to the status of case law on transgender people as a whole.

For Artemis Langford, BLP1E applies as she is not notable for anything outside of this case. She's not even a party to the lawsuit as it currently stands. As neither the case nor Langford seem to be notable, I propose deletion. Pinguinn 🐧 03:26, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Kappa Kappa Gamma where this is rightly already covered.—S Marshall T/C 08:07, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Not going to !vote as I created the article and still believe the subject to be a notable one. I do see continued sourcing including last month as the future state of the lawsuit remains unsettled. Would prefer redirection suggested by S Marshall to outright deletion should consensus land that it isn't a notable lawsuit. Star Mississippi 13:18, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Kappa Kappa Gamma. Current article seems to largely fit under the umbrella of the section in Kappa Kappa Gamma . I'm not sure what articles would be similar to this, the closest that I see from Wikipedia:WikiProject_Fraternities_and_Sororities/Watchlist is probably DePauw University Delta Zeta discrimination controversy which I'm not sure this has reached the level of. As a note, this article wasn't on the WP Watchlist so I'll mention it at the Wikiproject to make sure others there see. I don't think this counts as canvassing, I fully expect one or more people there to want to keep it and/or add to the article. :) (Couldn't find any other articles on Lawsuits on membership, the closest that I found is the info in Iron Arrow about their anti-title IX lawsuit, most lawsuit mentions that I can find are part of the aftermath of a hazing incident) Naraht (talk) 13:57, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect: This article has adequate sources to meet notability because of its national coverage. However, because the court case didn't lead to anything significant, this content is best suited for the Controversies section of the Kappa Kappa Gamma article. There is already a subsection on this case in the Kappa Kappa Gamma article; it would be a good idea to see if any of the content from this article should be merged prior to its deletion.
