All references are to the subject's personal website. No claims or editorial support for notability, other than designing jewelry for a living, sponsoring some events, and having MS. Fails WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO Nixie9 (talk) 03:48, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Article smacks of self promotion, no coverage outside of her own work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.17.102.92 (talk) 06:35, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - We seem to be looking at different articles. The one I see does have sources other than her website. Perhaps both of you can explain this? - SummerPhD (talk) 15:23, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Of the 12 references, 7 are to her site, one is to the top level of a bust.com (not even a specific entry), one is a blog mention of her showing a swimsuit collection, one is to a page of photos, not mentioning the subject, one is a press release stating that she has MS, and the last is a blog posting that she sponsored a salon event. Not one editorial comment in the bunch. I'm sure she is a wonderful person and designer, but there is no editorial coverage to even discuss WP:GNG--Nixie9 (talk) 17:42, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm cleaning up the refs as much as I can. The "press" section of her website has piles of links, but I haven't found anything truly substantial about her yet.[1] I'm not sure if there's anything here or not (though the article is clearly COI.) - SummerPhD (talk) 19:22, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

She seems to find her way into a lot of "blurbs" in smaller sources. Drum Magazine, Alternative Press and such. I'm not seeing anything substantial. - SummerPhD (talk) 19:33, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete - She has numerous short blurbs in smaller sources and an occasional mention in something larger, but I don't see substantial coverage anywhere by her own site. I don't see it passing GNG or any biography guidelines. If there are substantial sources out there, whoever handles her website should be looking for work. - SummerPhD (talk) 19:33, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete/comment - Certainly seems to be a weak delete not least as she has no Google News notability, BUT doing some creative searching, she has received quite a bit of attention as a higher-profile MS person. Nice link from the National MS Society ALTHOUGH no author/date. Article on famous MS sufferers published by the Disabled World in 2008 with a minimal bio, predating creation of WP entry - there is a lot of cross-referencing going on though. Also looking up the names of artworks she has created, such as the "Meningitis Dress", brings up a number of interesting links although none are enough for individual notability. However, there is a strong drip-drip-drip mentality here, and my experience with disability/conditions is that those with issues who would not normally pass notability otherwise, tend to receive more attention because of the "hook" that attracts reporters/activists/people looking for role models to hold up. I will have another look later as I suspect some of the sources might be NSFW, but I concur that a weak delete seems to be appropriate based on what can be found at moment.

OK, so THAT'S what the M16 vibrator was about. The Hustler reference is slight but I still doubt it is sufficent, so weak delete vote from before stands. Mabalu (talk) 02:51, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per all the reasons provided above. If some reliable sources can have some meaningful editorial content I would be open to changing my !vote. Tiggerjay (talk) 00:47, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
