I'm unconvinced as to the notability of this fashion designer. The piss-poor level of writing and dreadful formatting within the article itself does little to help. However, I'm not personally sure of what the WP:N standard is for fashion designers, hence an AfD instead of an A7. The references at the bottom of the article are all either blogs, self-published, or brief "press release" blurbs. If a major department store (or Harrods, for that matter - muah!) carries a particular label, it may (or may not) confer some level of base notability for the label itself - but for the designer, I'm not so sure.

 * Comment Being sold by Harrods would confer a certain degree of notability to me (not that I'd know fashion wear if I fell over it...), but apart from the GQ (I've heard of that but don't read it) article there is little reliable evidence given. I would think that where the label and designer are the same (or the designer is half a partnership), there is notability for the designer. Where someone is a back-room unknown (as even Yves St Laurent was once), there is probably no notability until the nest is abandoned. Peridon (talk) 19:36, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. Notability is asserted based on the future growth and fame on her line, Baartmans and Siegel. The company website gives scant proof of any significant accomplishments in the field, other than products that will be sold at Harrods. Note also that both partners (Siegel and Baartmans) just graduated from design school in 2010, so it's not surprising they have done little with their careers.  Simply having products sold at Harrods (which has not even happened yet), is not enough to establish notability. --Crunch (talk) 01:52, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete While this individual may be notable, there's no evidence to support it in the article. Until reliable sources are referenced, the policy is to delete. I would change my mind if someone would properly source the article. HeartSWild (talk) 14:47, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
