It is never easy to close such a contested discussion, especially when closing towards an unfavored outcome. I close this discussion not to make enemies, but because I believe it is in the best interest of this encyclopedia. On that I may be wrong, but I will qualify my decision to the best of my ability.
When a living person is tied so closely to one single event, that neutral and encyclopedic content cannot be generated from reliable sources, such a person is not fit for inclusion. Reciprocally, a subject who is recognized for mainly one, well-documented event, but has also been covered by reliable sources in one or more unrelated events, is fit for inclusion. Such a person may not be notable for their involvement in one major event, or for their involvement in a number of minor events. However, if the sum of all such events equates to reliable sourcing that allows for verifiable and neutral coverage, then the subject is notable and an independent article is justified.
Such is the case, by my furthest consideration, of Michaele Salahi. The existence of dependable sourcing outside of 2009 White House gatecrash incident thus serves to undermine arguments of WP:BLP1E. Therefore, Michaele Salahi, as a major participant in a historical event, and as a person with adequate coverage outside of that event, is, by my most earnest conclusion, notable. The result was keep. My best regards to all, Arbitrarily0 (talk) 22:59, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
