Aaron and Austin Rhodes

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The relative notability guideline for articles of this type is WP:NMODEL. Per said guideline, three criteria must be met:


 * 1. "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions." The only non-chat show that the pair have appeared on (they've appeared on two chat shows), was Scream Queens, they appeared in less than half of the episodes, and had less lines between them than that of a short children's book.


 * 2. "Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following." In terms of social media, neither of the brothers twitter pages (Aaron, Austin) are verified. As for followers, they have roughly 50,000 each. Compared to me, they're superstars, but compared to other models on twitter such as Kim Kardashian who boasts 38,801,000 followers, Cara Delevingne who has 4,408,000, or Gigi Hadid with 1,081,000, they have a very minute fanbase.


 * 3. "Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment." Another of the criteria that the brothers fail. They're your usual models, except they happen to be identical twin brothers, and are both gay. That's the entire reason that they're 'famous', and were brought in to the public eye, not for bringing anything significant to the field of modelling whatsoever.

A direct quote from the article sums up the rational for this nomination; "So far they have appeared on one magazine cover". Non-notable models.  Azealia 911  talk  17:59, 22 December 2015 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete - Some sources and coverage apparently but perhaps nothing for a better article. SwisterTwister   talk  01:37, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
