I agree that notoriety, as opposed to notability, is not a good precedent for Wikipedia, whether the subject is man or woman.

I've had a look at the article, and I can't believe that this hasn't yet undergone AfD.
As it says on the talk page, being a feminist and having a blog and youtube channel doesn't make one notable.
There are no reliable sources in the article which discuss Sarkeesian in-depth -- there is an interview on a blog, but this can't be used to base notability on.
As it stands now, Anita (who is hardly notable) had the misfortune to meet some trolls on the internet (welcome to Internet peoples), and now she is basically notable, because her un-notable Wikipedia biography was trolled with a pr0n imagem, and someone reported on it.
Anyone wishing to get their bio onto WP should use this case as an example of how to go about it.
The article should be at AfD, because as it stands now, it is everything that WP is not.

Well, I've taken a look at the history and have identified "BLP"

going back to October 2011; as such, I've extended the existing semi-protection for a full year. Some extensive cleanup has already

place, as well as some useful article expansion.

Hi All, The Community is aware of this and is discussing it. However, it's worthwhile bringing to the attention of this list that one woman's efforts at studying gender stereotyping (reported in The New
