This article was tagged BLPPROD, and I added a source, making it ineligible for that criterion. There has been some edit warring at The Weather Channel about whether Cass is notable, so I'm posting this seeking a wider consensus.

There seem to be few reliable sources about her and other TWC hosts, so we might not be able to expand this beyond a summary of her on-air positions and awards. As for my !vote, it's neutral. —Guanaco 02:12, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. She's notable and it has a reliable source. Diako «  Talk » 08:20, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Diako1971: The notability guidelines state "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.". What significant coverage has Kelly Cass garnered in multiple sources? 331dot (talk) 08:57, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm thinking the article should be changed back to a redirect until she is written about more in more sources(which she isn't now from at least what I have seen). The article also seems to have been created by her husband [1] [2] who seems to feel that it is sexist and unfair to have an article about Kelly Cass' co-host and not her- but if she isn't written about as much, she wouldn't necessarily merit an article yet(WP:TOOSOON) even if her co-host(who does seem to have more things written about him) does. Her name can and probably should be placed in The Weather Channel just not as a link. 331dot (talk) 09:04, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not to throw him under the bus, but she has over five times as many real, authenticated followers on Social Media as he does (30x times as many on Facebook), so the statement above about who is "written about" more is not true. Keybeeny (talk) 15:04, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That may be true, but that's completely irrelevant because social media is not a reliable source, nor is our (WP editors') counting or other analysis thereof. DMacks (talk) 15:07, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In the Year 2017 it is almost quaint to see the editors of Wikipedia trying to determine if someone is "noteworthy enough" using metrics which have passed into a bygone age. This question would not have even been raised without your unnecessary deletion of an entry which merely stated the fact that she is a host of AMHQ Weekend. We have easily established that fact, but now you feel it is necessary to determine if there is some other reason for mentioning or not mentioning it? Here she was on NBC Nightly News, seen by a far larger audience than CNN and TWC combined:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSJXV77w6XA See if you can find a clip of her co-host ever doing the NBC Nightly News.

Here she is hosting AMHQ. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaXzncDo_nE and here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZBzzLyR398 and here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ftP6JTeMi8 and here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKuKcthHnr8 and here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yme4d6oBrVo and here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAMceMjgCuo and here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nB0HkRAhTSA But there still needs to be a long drawn out discussion of whether or not it is accurate to state that she is host of AMHQ?? That's absurd.

The question was not whether there has been a lot of articles written about her which may be linked to on a PC, it was whether or not it is accurate to state on Wikipedia that she is the host of AMHQ. So you really need to just let it go and leave it to people who watch that channel, which apparently nobody here does. Which is fine, but if you did, you would also realize what a no-brainer it is to include Alexandra Wilson as host of Weather Underground as well. Keybeeny (talk) 15:53, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
