don't care how many sources you have, this person is only notable for an eating disorder, and offers nothing positive to any community except fetishists, and I fail to understand how fetishes have come to be standard fare for choosing who in the world is notable anymore. If that is the standard, then all the people who work in real jobs, who have real accomplishments, but who are lesser known, who have asked me for assistance getting Knowledge (XXG) entries, and to whom I have said, "No, I'm sorry, but you are not notable enough to justify a Knowledge (XXG) entry," have just as much a right to be here. Her presence here just makes Knowledge (XXG) a bigger joke than it already is.

particular week? It's probably an original research thing yes, but if this woman of all people is notable, then surely the gluttony in which she engages every waking moment of her disgusting life should be quantified: not just to say how much food she ate, but how many people that food COULD HAVE fed.

As I said, this is for an administrator to decide. If they rule its not CSDable, then all they have to do is click "undo" where I added the CSD tag. What I saw, and my initial reaction was: "attack" page, based on the title and contents. If it weren't for the "(Obese)" in the title, I probably

It is my understanding that not EVERY "notable" person should be on Knowledge (XXG). How are you NOT contributing to the obesity epidemic by allowing this person to be someone worthy of note on Knowledge (XXG)? This is just ridiculous. Just because someone is in the news, they are now notable? I

An anonymous user added some snarky comments to the article such as "The procedure lasted three days due to difficulty finding the womb" and "...the hornier I get", etc. These comments went uncaught for quite a while, but now I've removed them (I had to do so manually due to the large number of

posted a level 4im vandalism warning on my talk page, falsely accusing me of "vandalism". That could in itself be considered a personal attack; at the very least, it was a bad mistake, as this page was in no way vandalism. So I removed the vandalism warning template; please do not repost it.
1271:
Is there any way we can calculate the amount of food she needlessly consumes and quantify it another way? For example, could someone calculate it and demonstrate that the amount of food, which she didn't need that week, could've provided 30 underpriviledged kids with their 21 meals for that

I created this article and, as I explained above, I only gave it the title it currently has because I couldn't think of any better ones at the time. I think Ukexpat's suggestion is the best one offered so far, so I

never would have pulled it up. The category which was added could be considered rude. While I do see your justification of her "notability," I don't think it meets Knowledge (XXG)'s definition of "notability."
1461: 304: 1456: 610:
In fact, if you look at the categories selected, "fat fetishism" just reinforces my original decision to mark this as an attack page. Regardless, the page either qualifies for CSD as marked, or under A7.
299: 207: 42: 630:
The sources mention that Donna Simpson makes money off guys who pay to watch videos of her eating and measuring her waistline. Thus the category was only added because of the sources.

The only reason for the stones is because one of the sources used stones. If you want, you can convert it to just using pounds.
1014: 177: 722:
Once again, she's received quite a bit of coverage in many sources, so I don't see how she could not be considered notable.

the other day and the radio DJ's were interviewing her; she's been doing a national radio tour. So A7 won't work either.
