The result was keep. Although people can discuss a move/repurposing of the page if they feel that the coverage is more about the security clearance aspect than about her personally. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 07:56, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:BLP1E and WP:PAGEDECIDE. Newbold appears only to be notable for blowing the whistle on the Trump administration's security clearance practices in early 2019. Even if her whistleblowing results in her losing her "low profile" status under our BLP policy, as a matter of pragmatism her involvement in that controversy is better explained in a comprehensive article about the controversy itself rather than in a biography. That article could be called, for instance, Security clearances during the presidency of Donald Trump. Please note, I'm starting a related AfD for Carl Kline (White House official).

Comment I think the related AfD you mean is Carl Kline (White House official) StarM 01:10, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, thanks, fixed. R2 (bleep) 19:10, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Note that Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Carl Kline (White House official) closed as "Keep".E.M.Gregory (talk) 09:48, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep the event in which Newbold was involved is so significant, her role in the event is so substantive, and coverage is extensive and in such depth that we can confidently keep this page despite noms concerns.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:30, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This page could be usefully linked from an article about Security clearances during the presidency of Donald Trump.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:34, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

note that coverage has been continuous for 4 months [1], this is NOT your garden variety WP:BLP1E.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:39, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

With all due respect I don't think one story in January, none whatsoever for two months, then all the other stories being in April amounts to any kind of "continuous" coverage over that entire period. IntoThinAir (talk) 16:31, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

the simplest gNew search [2] shows coverage in January, February, March and April. Only a few of these stories are on the page, many will be echos, but, as I said, coverage has been continuous and it continues as Trump officials clash with Congress over hearing demands.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:06, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I find it very hard to believe that the WP:LOWPROFILE reference isn’t an inappropriate and discriminatory joke about the subject. Horse Eye Jack (talk) 02:45, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ha. No. Please assume good faith. R2 (bleep) 16:21, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And FWIW I made a very similar WP:LOWPROFILE argument at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Carl Kline (White House official). R2 (bleep) 16:27, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

note that According to The Atlantic, "Newbold set an important mark when she became the first official currently serving in Donald Trump’s White House to take accusations of wrongdoing to Congress—and to put her name publicly behind them."E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:16, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
