Delete essentially a vanity article for a person whose notability is marginal at best, created by a SPA in one edit and without sources; the text smells of COPYVIO or COI or ADVERT, best to delete this and if she's really notable perhaps someone will create a NPOV bio of her.

 * Can you make your mind up? Unless you can positively identify this editor as being the person in question or someone working for them, it's WP:BITEy to expect someone else than this editor to create the article. Also, NPOV can usually be edited out. For this to be deleteable you need to prove it can't be fixed (for example show it's a copyvio) or that no reliable sources exist. You only say the article smelt, but you haven't actually provided any proof it's beyond rescue. - Mgm|(talk) 09:12, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete G12, and I'm off to so tag. Well, either the editor is "the person in question," or s/he has created an article that's a blatant copyvio of this page. If the former is the case, Ms. James will need to contact OTRS to establish her right to use the material—and then we can delete it as spam. (Oh, and the image in the article appears to be a copyvio as well, since on James's site it's credited to a photographer.) Deor (talk) 12:40, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
