Lack of Notability The sources referenced in the article give the impression of notability but, upon checking them out, one finds that they're about the subject's profession in general, rather than the subject herself. For example, the links to NPR and CNN articles (see here and here) are about the need for corporations, especially big ones, to have properly trained, professional PR persons - which is the field the article's subject is working in. Moreover, the article has been created by a contributor whose sole contribution in Wikipedia concerns the article in question and that alone. It's written like a dedicated fan's page: For example, the subject's alleged nickname, "Muse of Marketing," is a very strong term, yet it does not seem to appear in any major media.

- Delete. Although there are plenty of citations, none of them support the notability of the subject. Created by a possible Single-Purpose Account. Most of the references do not even support the article itself. Feels like a very elaborately-crafted vanity page, which is unsurprising given the subject of the article. Vectro ( talk) 16:48, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
- Delete with extreme prejudice. The heavily promotional text and misleading use of references (many of which fail to mention the subject and others of which quote her briefly but are not about her) makes it hard to assume good faith about its author and makes this into a borderline case for a G11 speedy deletion. Even if the subject has some notability (hard to tell from all the puffery here) WP:TNT applies. — David Eppstein ( talk) 20:11, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
- Delete as promotional dross. More formally, notability not found in sources. Xxanthippe ( talk) 21:41, 30 March 2014 (UTC).
- Delete with prejudice per the above. I get a strong whiff of paid/promotional editing... -- Randykitty ( talk) 22:58, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
- Delete looks like promo. The only thing I could confirm about her was that she is married to Nottingham North MP Graham Allen. Strangely, this isn't mentioned in the article. Barney the barney barney ( talk) 10:06, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

- Delete and check user - I was unable to find Allyson Stewart-Allen in most of the sources given here which are not solid secondary references anyway. Blocked User:Allyson Stewart-Allen added the wife and personal information to the Graham Allen, see diff here and blocked on October 29, 2008 by Kimchi with an expiry time of indefinite. User:PegB, who arrived April 4, 2010, seems to have a similar set of interests to the blocked user. On February 14, 2010, PegB removed the prior personal information edit to Mr. Allen's page, see here. PegB has edited four pages, but the bulk of her edits occur on two: Allyson Stewart-Allen and Graham Allen. I first became aware of User PegB from two images uploaded to Wikimedia Commons as own work. Both were subsequently deleted. Please see (a) my nomination here and (b) a nomination by another Commons admin for the deletion discussions. I see a pattern of not reading the instructions on the project, and not understanding - or failing to care - that Wikipedia isn't a social media platform or a place for self-promotion. While maintaining my WP:AGF on all users of the project, when I add my lifetime reality filters, I see a pattern of WP:COI editing between the two pages as well as the possibility of WP:SOCK between a previously blocked user and PegB. Incidentally the pages John Quelch and Glocalization could be checked for additional COI or advocacy; Mr. Quelch's entry is very light on references. Ellin Beltz ( talk) 16:39, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
