Amelia Aye

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Fails WP:ENTERTAINER; non-notable. Only credit of possible notability mentioned in the article is a Levi's ad, but the Fashion Model Directory's entry for her is blank, Google Images brings up mostly personal photos, and a Google search only supports that her closest claim to notability is having dated a Jonas Brother.

Passes WP:ENTERTAINER; Amelia Aye's official FMD page lists her details and provides many of her professional photos including magazine spreads and commercial campaigns.

This article on Wikipedia about Amelia Aye also delivers an official link to one of her agencies she is represented by - Models 1 (one of the top Modeling angencies in the world) website including Amelia Aye's specific Models 1 profile. Many of Models 1's other models like Agyness Deyn and Alex Evans have been allowed a page/article on Wikipedia, Amelia Aye is no different. She has had two major campaigns with Levi jeans and Canon cameras as well as many clothing ones.

When the name 'Amelia Aye' is typed in to Google professional work photos do appear.

All these links justify her being a professional working, successful model and prove her notability.

People come onto Wikipedia to look up people, topics, places etc that they are interested in. As Wikipedia's Notability page states entertainers must have a large fan following. Amelia has a large fan base and many people are interested in her. If the article is allowed to remain on Wikipedia the website will benefit greatly from the number of people looking the model up and reading about her as well as give the fans great pleasure. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gabby C (talk • contribs) 16:18, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Passes WP:ENTERTAINER; - Notable model. Amelia Aye passes each condition Wikipedia's Notability page states: 1. There are numerous links to back up that she has had a number significant product/modeling endorsements - Levi Strauss & Co., Canon Digital IXUS etc; and had a significant role in popular culture with a song having been written and released about her (Jonas Brother's "Australia" song) 2. Amelia does have a proven large fan base- Thousands of Youtube videos and fan websites have been created using her professional modeling photos. Also, the Jonas Brothers play a huge role in today's popular culture - anything about them from religious beliefs to girlfriends is of valid interest to the public and they have the right to read about Amelia Aye and her personal life and professional career. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Krissy86 (talk • contribs)

 * Comment: Both your rationales are deeply flawed. Being signed to an agency that represents models with Wiki entries does not entitle other models to their own articles, and neither does the mere existence of professional photos.  For example, how does this photo from the FMD gallery demonstrate Wiki-level notability?  It's just an unmarked photo.  Notability is dependent on reliable secondary sources, and I see none; including words like "Levi's" or "Canon" does not help, and Models.com has no entry for her - there is nothing at all to corroborate the article's claims or prove her notability.  As for the fansite and Youtube claims (neither of which amount to much anyway), Youtube returns all of 18 hits - not thousands - and if she has so many fansites, they're certainly difficult to find.  The only thing that's easy to find are trivial hits on her relationship with whichever Jonas brother, because that's the only reason anyone has ever heard of her, and relationships don't confer notability, which is a vital tidbit for you both to know now that you've registered on Wikipedia (within a few minutes of each other earlier today, coincidentally).

Thank you for your response and giving your opinion on some of the arguements that were addressed. It is clear you have never heard of this model but many people in and outside of the industry have and know her work. Amelia Aye passes all the criteria listed on Wikipedia's Notability Page and has had an impact on society, especially in America. However, if the article gets deleted it's not the end of the world! It's good to see there are people who care enough about the article to leave comments. Thank you for taking the time to do so. Well, I'm sure Miley Cyrus, one of the world's most famous popstars, would back up Amelia's justification to keep her page and fashion industry people a-like!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Krissy86 (talk • contribs) 18:31, 29 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - There is no doubt she is a working model. However, there are no reliable sources covering her to establish notability as defined by wikipedia.-- Whpq (talk) 18:44, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Does not pass notability requirements. I'm sure she is a model, but the only secondary sources I can find are blogs, live journal and facebook posts, and gossip forums. This entry also seems to be full of BLP violations. Wperdue (talk) 19:51, 29 March 2009 (UTC)wperdue

 * Delete. As a model, notability is assessed against WP:ENTERTAINER. Insufficient independent evidence that notability has been achieved. WWGB (talk) 01:25, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
