Alexa Curtis (lifestyle blogger)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

So, after a little WP:BEFORE I thought maybe she was notable but nearly every source is a passing mention or quoting her about her name being Alexa and Amazon's Alexa ruining the lives of women named Alexa. Simply, fails GNG at this time and all sources are primary/fluff pieces and many claims in this article are greatly exaggerated. CHRISSY MAD ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  20:29, 9 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete, the given sources look impressive at first glance but in part are not independent and in part do not cover Curtis in any detail; many of those I checked are blatantly misrepresented, having little or nothing to do with the content they're cited for. Unsalvageable without rewriting it from scratch (if better sources can be found), and written with a clear intent to promote Curtis. Borderline G11 speedy deletion candidate.

 * Not a single one of those links cover *her* in-depth and they are greatly misrepresented in the article, as and I both pointed out. Additionally, google hits are meaningless, it could be anything from a mention to social media, neither of which establish notability.  CHRISSY MAD  ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  21:20, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete lacks the indepth coverage in reliable sources needed to show notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:48, 13 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete The article is not well sourced and fails WP:GNG due to lack of in depth coverage. Lacypaperclip (talk) 04:49, 14 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment/Observation
 * To the admin that will  judge this.  I'm  quite discouraged  about what I see  the nominator  and  other editors  post on their DELETE votes.
 * Perhaps, they are very much in a haste when looking at the topic.
 * I keep crying as a lone voice here!
 * I spent some time reading the notability guidelines here
 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability
 * I strongly believe that Alexa Curtis passes the  WP:GNG. One of the lines there says
 * ""Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material."
 * Alexa Curtis is featured in-depth in the following news-related references that were used.
 * These are 3rd party news-related references..

 * Check it, the topic is fully referenced and scores  high mark  in notability than thousands of pages I see being created by many editors here.
 * Let the  Admin take a look before  taking the final decision.
 * I rest my caseAlbaubamkpo (talk) 18:42, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Rest away. None of these establish notability, they're all passing mentions, fluff pieces or primary sources. CHRISSY MAD  ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  21:25, 14 January 2018 (UTC)


 * "CHRISSYMAD"
 * "Rest away" is an offensive and discouraging word. I only  stated facts.
 * My thesis is addressed to the wiki admin not you pls.
 * You nominated the page for AFD and you've been watching and commenting on the "Keeps" vote. Are you the only one who has the right to comment?
 * Is this how the AFD process work on WP Eng. That's  discouraging ....Albaubamkpo (talk) 03:23, 15 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep The topic passes the notability guidelines stated in WP:GNG and also in line with WP:BLP.
 * I just read the piece on written by CNN corresponded, Jacqueline Howard here. To be candid, the writer Howard featured  Miss Alexa Curtis  very richly. He address her mostly as "Curtis".  It's a rare privilege  to be featured on CNN.
 * I also read through those other references as listed by the article creator. for eg,  this, Miss Curtis is well featured.  Curtis as a lifestyle or fashion blogger also scores several hits on GoogleNews.
 * However, I agree, some of the references  especially the ones on  interviews look primary and some only mentioned her  in passing.  for eg this That notwithstanding,  the refs that featured her richly are far more greater in number that those that  merely mentioned her.  Hence, I guess, the topic should be kept.Canadihot (talk) 09:01, 15 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep Notability is established in accordance with [|WP General notability guideline] although the page has too many references both secondary and primary.  But yet the page needs more improvement. Fluffy and primary sources that are not fit can be removed by a more experience wiki editor.Ghanalelem (talk) 07:30, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
 * What portion of GNG does this meet? CHRISSY MAD  ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  16:18, 16 January 2018 (UTC)


 * comment I checked all the references, and had to remove plenty, sadly. Other parts contained blp information that were only sourced to blogs. Still other refs were there, but Alexix was not mentioned in them. She does not pass WP:GNG and this article will likely get deleted. Lacypaperclip (talk) 10:18, 16 January 2018 (UTC)¡


 * Clarification
 * Thanks "Lacypaperclip" for cleaning up the page and removing non-suitable refs as one of the editors suggested above.
 * Just to clarify u. Her name in those refs is not "Alexix". Her name is " Alexa Curtis". In most of the refs, the writers  used mostly "Curtis" her surname. The CNN ref is a good example. So, I guess she passed the Notability requirements as some editors already pointed out.Albaubamkpo (talk) 12:17, 16 January 2018 (UTC)


 * comment - I just miss typed Alexa. I know her name. She does not pass notability because many refs left are just brief mentions which cannot be used toward notability, Neither can interviews which do not support the article text. Short videos where she is promoting companies and their merchandise do not give any notability. Lacypaperclip (talk) 13:02, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep because the given sources are reliable like CNN, FOX etc. but not in very detail but bit rewriting can make it better as per references so I would suggest Strongly  KEEP  the articale :)
 * A source can be reliable but not WP:COVERAGE. That's the case here - this isn't coverage of her, it's not independent and at best, are passing mentions or primary. An interview doesn't equate to notability. CHRISSY MAD  ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  16:16, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
