Fails WP:GNG. The article is about a university activist. It seems the only source which discusses the subject in a bit of detail is a university/campus newspaper (which cannot be used for proving notability). The other sources I found are DailyMail (questionable source, 2 line mention), The Independent (references previous source), Breitbart 1 (single line mention), Breitbart 2 (references DailyMail and Breitbart 1). I'm not sure how reliable DailyMail and Breitbart are for proving notability and in any case, the coverage it really less. At the moment, I don't see enough significant coverage in reliable and independent sources to merit a separate article. Lemongirl942 ( talk) 07:56, 29 May 2016 (UTC) reply

  • A google docs file outlining media coverage of Ashley Reed, unfortunately I did not have time to update the article to reflect all of these due to exams and campaigns happening at my university. I attend university with the person who first brought up grounds for a COI, themselves not declaring that they have a COI against the subject of the article.

  • Delete insufficient support for claims of notability. JustLucas' list does not convince me; that he or she seems to be a SPA rings alarm bells along the 'using wikipedia to promote self, partner or colleague' lines. -- Tagishsimon (talk) 15:16, 30 May 2016 (UTC) reply
