I do not see notability. Neither the news reader career northe university career is notable, and the references are all local. The point of not relying of such local refs for notability of local people under the GNG is thatthey tend to be indiscriminate. DGG ( talk ) 18:59, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
I disagree with
DGG. This individual has numerous noteworthy accomplishment. 1 Rattray was a local newsreader, 2) she starred in a made for TV film on the TNN network, and 3) she is the first (yes first) Associate Vice President of Indigenous, Government, and Community Affairs. I am sure this position is relatively unique among universities in Canada, and possibly the world. It would be a shame if the world was not made aware of her contributions to news reading, TV acting, and university governing. Do not silence the voice of this strong first nations women, I beg you, please keep the Wikipedia entry alive!

::Awards Yes, indeed she did win many fine and noteworthy awards: a Manitoba Motion Picture Blizzard Award, two Gracie Allen Awards from the Foundation of American Women in Radio and Television, New York City, and several Radio and Television News Directors Association and Can-Pro awards.

DGG and
Bali88. She is a Canadian legend, a journalist, has starred in a movie with Rob Lowe, and is a pioneer in her community. She is likely the first indigenous VP in a Canadian university, which is very notable. Deleting the page is an affront to her people and is neo-colonial.

:::Indeed
Bali88 Rattrey is a bit of a local celebrity in Manitoba, and her profile is well known across First Nations and Indigenous communities in Canada. She is a pioneer who speaks across the country on issue facing her people. On top of this, she is married to a well-known Football coach, is a local film actress who has starred alongside Rob Lowe and was the first Female Aboriginal News Anchor in Canada, as well as a TV host on the Canadian national Women's Televison Network (WTN) in the mid-1990s. She truly is notable.

Bali88 I am confused? I thought this was a discussion, not a vote? Can we not be part of an inclusive dialogue?

Please don't silence the voice of this pathbreaking Aboriginal Woman. Deleting this article would be confirmation of neocolonial practices at Wikipedia. I pray to the Creator that you will not carry out such an act of cultural genocide. Haven't our First Nations people suffered enough? Miigwech!

Is there any argument that local notability for underrepresented minorities could constitute notability? valereee ( talk) 13:08, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
Ok, if the rules are the rules and Canadian TV news readers are not "notable" according to Wiki Policy, why are the following entries not also removed:
Camilla Di Giuseppe,
Denelle Balfour,
Nathalie Chung,
Kris Reyes,
Janet Stewart just to name a few? Why single this entry out? Fairness?

::::okay, fair enough. But what about my point above regarding other pages of non-notable TV readers? Are these all due to be deleted? Did you check any of the above pages? Just curious.
