Talk:Lauren Luke

Article is now out of date. Should it be updated or deleted?
I have just checked Ms Luke's YouTube page. She has only uploaded three videos in the last two years, none of which feature her doing make-up tutorials. Her latest video indicates that her YouTube channel is no longer her primary occupation. She appears to have a conventional 40 hour/week job, and she also sounds uncertain as to whether she will continue with her channel - and what direction it might take.

The reasons for her hiatus are unclear. However, she does allude to personal problems/a breakdown. It is also notable that her last make-up videos only gained between 30,000 and 50,000 views. This is significantly lower than what she was getting in her heyday from 2008-2010, and nowhere near enough to compete with other YouTube make-up artists, who typically gain several million views for their (very professionally edited) videos. Ms Luke's make-up line also appears to have been discontinued and she no longer writes for the Guardian. I could make an effort to clean up this page, but given the circumstances/lack of clarification, is it really worth it? Or should this article ultimately be deleted?

Conflict of interest
There may be that editor 69.60.2.142 has a conflict of interest (Perhaps working for the Anomoly Agency?) Regardless, they need to read WP:LINKSTOAVOID describing specifically why external links to social sites such as MySpace and Facebook are usually not allowed.
