Alexis Dent

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable author lacking in-depth, non-trivial support. References are examples of subjects work and some fail to mention article subject. Won a local award, but don't see that as enough to establish notability. red dogsix (talk) 11:56, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete – At this time. I have to say Ms. Dent is a prolific writer with articles in the Huffington Post – Washington Post and BET to name a few.  However, cannot fine any 3 party – Independent – Reliable sources dealing with Ms. Dent specifically.  I am sure, one day I will see an article here on Wikipedia with Ms. Dent as the subject.  But sorry to say, she has not obtained the Notability yet to be included in an encyclopedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shoessss (talk • contribs)
 * Delete – appears to clever bit of native advertising with corresponding lack of WP:COI if not WP:PAID disclosure by article creator. FlamesElite (talk) 19:43, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete Contrary to what some believe, Wikipedia is not a platform for advertising. We really need to enforce this rule better.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:40, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:GNG and possible COI/Paid issues as outlined above. Snowycats (talk) 16:28, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment ... and at long last we have a ... disclosure. Allow me to apologize for wasting everyone's time by contesting the speedy. I should have smelled this for what it was. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 01:12, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
 * has now disclosed the paid editing and apologized to me by email. I was the one who originally contested the WP:CSD tagging, and I was feeling a bit taken advantage of when I wrote that snarky comment. I'm still not a fan of paid editing, disclosed or not, but of course is now taking steps in the right direction. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 02:28, 18 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment – The subject does meet WP:GNG criteria. She received significant coverage by reliable sources, independent of the subject in BRIDES magazine, WeddingBee, The Business Journals and WKBW-TV as well as in MTV.com, NY Daily News, Gawker and Hollywood Life for her blog Bieber Heiress. The article satisfies WP:NOTPROMOTION because it does not state any opinions and provides only sourced information; it does not self-promote because Dent did not write the article and it maintains a neutral point of view; and it does not advertise because mentions of companies are written objectively and sourced by reliable sources independent of the subject. I have now disclosed WP:PAID. This is my first paid contribution. I'm sorry for the omission; I did not understand the process for disclosure and have corrected my mistake. Though I have a WP:COI, I genuinely believe that Dent meets the notability requirements to warrant a Wikipedia page. The page has been edited and improved by other contributors since its nomination for deletion. If there are any concerns I have not addressed, please let me know how to improve the page.

 * Delete on account of subject not meeting notability criteria. Aside from a few guest-posts in the WPost, we have primary sources, Justin Bieber websites, and unreliable sources in abundance, such as this. Well, it's just not there. (Apologies if my humble suggestion causes loss of income for anyone.) -The Gnome (talk) 08:59, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
