Amanda Fraser

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Notability challenged in 2008. Current article still (in my opinion) fails to establish notability. Could not find articles in References section to corroborate, and if the M Magazine is as described, it appears to constitute a brief mention, not a full article. Other "reviews" at galleries are gallery-generated, and therefore do not appear to be reliable sources. An in-depth Ebsco database search for "Amanda Fraser" yielded no results (for the artist; there's also an Australian paralympian named Amanda Fraser who apparently was part of quite the to-do) Some jerk on the Internet (talk) 17:46, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete; adding on to what the nominator said, the mention in the Melbourne newspaper article, based on the description in the mainspace (the link doesn't go to the actual page), seems to mention Fraser in passing more than actually featuring her. (Even if it did feature her, I still don't think that would meet the threshold of notability.) Kansan (talk) 18:55, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Weak delete subject to re-creation or serious improvement. Getting into the Sunday Magzazine of a major paper is one piece of evidence of notability -- but a WP:BLP needs at least two per WP:GNG. Bearian (talk) 17:59, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete: I did a search on Google Australia excluding the paralympic angle, and the search results are overwhelmingly Wikipedia and Wiki mirrors, the artist's webpage, the artist's Linkedin page and the like. No evidence of notability.   Ravenswing  20:32, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - I was only able to find one reference supporting notability (which I have added to the article). Fails WP:GNG. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 10:26, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
