 * Keep - I dont see why the article should be closed. The girl is a former internet celebrity, a runner up on a major television show, (as well as seemingly being one of the most popular contestants) and a model who has already recieved offers of a contract within days of the programme ending. Furthermore, the article is well written, and has sources for essentially everything in it. I think there are thousands of articles that should be deleted before this one.
 * Keep - her "internet celeb status" is somewhat debatable, but she's definitely received MAJOR national attention via ANTM, and people are looking for a reliable information source about her (which this page is) --Jamiew (talk) 18:21, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. As per above, she was a previous internet "celebrity" of sorts before she even appeared on America's Next Top Model as a contestant. ExRat (talk) 21:09, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. She was the runner up on ANTM. All runner ups have a wiki page. The internet celeb part can maybe be merged into early life or Pre-ANTM. I DONT think it should be deleted.
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Living people-related deletion discussions. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 00:01, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 14:37, 20 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. Should we be linking to her personal social networking sites, and relying on sources like these:? No. Her "internet fame" was because kids on 4chan found her photos; that's not notable, and it's not sourced. I'm removing all the cruft. Once that is done, all that is left is her appearing on America's Next Top Model, and that's BLP1E. Fences and windows (talk) 18:44, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Whilst you might find it irrelevant, its still importany to mention to some degree. It may not be as important as her stint on Top Model, but ultimately it is still worth mentioning, especially considering it was a few years before Top Model. If the pictures had emereged now, then fair enough, but people knew of her before she was on a major show.
 * Keep. Please see the recently resolved AFD for contestant Celia Ammerman, which ended in a keep result, for relevant arguments and, in particular, why this article does not fit the WP:NOT criteria. In fact, if anything, Alison Harvard seems to be more relevant than Ammerman, it's just a matter of her article needing improvement, and to be reinforced with more reliable sources. Since there is no deadline, the article should not be deleted for this reason; the article should be allowed to be improved at its own pace. (In fact, I was approached before this AFD to help improve the article and I agreed to do so. Given that there's already an active plan to improve the article in place, that's just another reason this article should not be deleted.) —  Hunter  Kahn  ( contribs )  20:30, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
