Contested deletion
editThis page should not be speedy deleted as pure vandalism or a blatant hoax, because it is a BLP with verifiable references by reputable sources. There is no reason given for speedy deletion. This is an actual person in the real world who has accomplished notable things in her law enforcement career, so it's unclear why it would be considered a hoax. --Radom event gen (talk) 17:18, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
Hi, as I already mentioned in my comment I have checked all references and none of them referring to a person named "Vicki King" , she is not the main subject of the article. Please correct me if I am wrong? I also checked Google News and no sources are referring to "Vicki King". I have removed deletion/unreviewed tag, so now up to admins to keep it or delete it.

- Thank you for removing the tag. I see that you did that while I was typing this response, so some of this may not apply, but I need to mention it here since you are misusing the CSD G3 tag. You've been warned about this before, and I would recommend that you are much more considerate before tagging articles for speedy deletion in the future. Wikipedians certainly respect diligent commitment to standards of excellence, but the AfD process has guidelines for a reason. The very first article has her name in the title of the article as well as her picture.[1] The Lee article[2] in the Houston Chronicle mentions her by name and title as does the Final Call article,[3] Houston Press article,[4] the ABC News article,[5] and the ATAP article.[6] You said "she is not the main subject of the article." In some, but not all instances that is true, but she does not have to be the main topic of the article for the article to establish her credibility. That's not a reasonable argument. She is the main topic in some articles, and independent of that, she has established notability. Articles can be about a wide range of topics. As long as the articles are good sources and provide information about the subject in question, they should be referenced and can establish notability. Other articles serve to support facts that are included in the article such as the lack of female representation in patrol cars in the Houston Police Department in the mid-1980's.[7][8] Next time, please go through the appropriate methods for improving and deleting articles. Again, thank you for removing the tag. Radom event gen (talk) 18:35, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
