Urban legends
It's an interesting urban legend, but it had several issues with it. First is that there were no sources to show how this particular urban legend is notable. We're not looking for it to be true, but we do need coverage in WP:RS to show that this urban legend has been discussed somewhere except forums and other places that don't count as reliable sources. Secondly, the tone in the article did not fit what we expect from a neutral and encyclopedic entry per WP:NPOV. Thirdly, I did a search and I can't find anything to show that this urban legend actually exists. We're not a place to spark off or propogate urban legends, especially when you're trying to link a celebrity into said urban legend. Finally and most importantly, it bothers me that you uploaded seemingly unrelated photos to add to an article about an urban legend concerning a little girl that takes shoes from various people before they die. Not only would that be considered original research (WP:OR), but it is likely also a violation of their personal rights that you're uploading images of them seemingly without their permission in relation to an urban legend. You may have had their permission to take their pictures, but I don't know that they'd be fine with you uploading them for something like this. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   03:03, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Note: I cut/pasted this from the WP:REFUND page. I also want to note that I did find an image you uploaded on Commons that was an edited version of an image from another site, meaning that you don't own the rights to that particular image. That makes me wonder if the other images are yours or not. Please be aware that saying that you hold the rights to an image does not automatically give you the rights to that image, so please exercise caution as doing this can eventually lead to you getting blocked from editing or uploading images.
