Lack of significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. ProQuest only turns up one news article that can be considered significant coverage in the course of a 25+ year career. Only significant coverage from Google is interviews with blogs and biography pages from employers. Hirolovesswords (talk) 13:17, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have to disagree with the need for reliable, independent sources when discussing a public figure who has been on television for, as you mentioned, 25+ years. She exists, even if there is little external coverage about it. Milchama (talk) 13:39, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It depends on what kind of coverage the other subjects have. Certainly some YES on-air staff has received more coverage than Nancy Newman. 14:12, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
No, it depends on their notability. Let me give you an example. The Abrahamic God is attested in only a single source considered by some to be dubious, and all other works are purely derivative and hence not independently reliable. However, on Wikipedia, a large number of articles are dedicated to him, and rightly so. Why? Because in spite of the meagre coverage, he (or she, if you wish to go that road) is highly notable. Coverage and notability are not the same thing. Moreover, two or three source articles more about one subject than another is not even a statistically significant difference. I'll repeat: source-counting does not give a definitive answer to the question of notability. Samsara 21:10, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
