I was going to do a Good Article review of this article, but I'm afraid that the subject may not be notable. Beyond primary sources and local news, there isn't much more in-depth coverage of her. And local news reporting is sparse, such as when she won the Philadelphia Bar Association's Sandra Day O’Connor Award or when she was elected to serve as the President Judge. I think she is not notable enough for a separate article from the Superior Court of Pennsylvania article, so a redirect to Superior Court of Pennsylvania would suffice for now until there is enough coverage to recreate the article.

- Strong Keep: First of all, she is on the Superior Court of Pennsylvania. She is NOT on the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. The majority of judges on the Superior Court have their own articles, and Anne is the actual President Judge. So, out of all of the people that already have articles for the Superior Court (and also, literally look at any other Superior or Supreme Court article for states, the majority of the articles about state judges are WAY less sourced than this one). Please read over WP:JUDGE. DocZach (talk) 13:08, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- I understand you have strong emotions over this, and yes, I did made a typo that I have fixed. However, part of what you're saying falls under WP:WHATABOUT. Also, if the article does end up as a keep, I do not think it would be a Good article unless more sourcing is found, since it would fail WP:GACR 2 and 3, as some of the sources that this article heavily relies on are primary and there is not much info on what she did in her roles.

- First of all, I do not have strong feelings about this. I have never met this person, and am not very fond of her decisions. Yet, since I am interested in the Superior Court, I have created a fair article for its President. So stop assuming things out of nowhere.
- Second of all, you can remove my good article nomination. I want it retracted, but I don't know how to do that. DocZach (talk) 16:04, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- You can just remove the Good article banner on the talk page. Spinixster (chat!) 01:41, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

- Keep Being the President of the court passes WP:JUDGE and was reliable cited by [1] and [2] from Altoona Mirror & Pennsylvania Bar Association respectively. The election results was cited well here by Ballotpedia. Furthermore, the subject was a recipient of two awards covered here and here which are local sources in Pennsylvania. There was also a citation here from The Philadelphia Inquirer. I literally can find more than three sources per WP:THREE satisfying reliable sources and citation. I will say the subject have appeared in local sources mainly perhaps based in Pennsylvania. May not attain GA status per finding multiple sources but just three as stub is enough. All the Best!

- Keep per sources found. Also passes my tests for lawyers easily. Bearian (talk) 20:13, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
