Talk:Mitzi Jonelle Tan

Notability

In the deletion discussion for Disha Ravi user desmay threw down a challenge. "For a name, you can also create article about Mitzi Jonelle Tan and say that notability exists. But what requires is significant coverage in independent sources." I have taken up the challenge. Here are some sources for the notability of Mitzi Jonelle Tan.

According to WP:BASIC:

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.

• If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not [my emphasis] be sufficient to establish notability.

Tan is mentioned in multiple independent sources. In most of the sources below Mitzi Jonelle Tan is one of a few activists who's views are quoted, which establishes that she is notable because her views matter (at least in the minds of the journalists who quote her). Half of the last article in the list below is a short biography of Mitzi Jonelle Tan. Tango Mike Bravo (talk) 11:15, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
