April Masini

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Author of non-notable website and books. All citations in the article are from her website, AskApril.com. Many of the claims in the article, such as "catalyst" behind Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, The Miss Universe pageant and the Hawaiian Governors Gala are actually attributed to Alfred Masini, as noted in independent sources.

 * Weak delete. There are some articles that brush upon her claims, although many of them vary as far as how certain they are of how involved she really was. Most of them put far more emphasis on her husband being the deciding factor., I also want to note that she seems to be a mostly self-published author. The claims of notability are sort of vague, to be honest and probably could just be added to the Baywatch article. Most of her notability really seems to have stemmed from her being married to Mancini. After her divorce that notability sort of dried up, so I don't know how notable she is as far as she herself goes. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 09:12, 23 October 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79
 * If someone can find information to show that she's notable I'm persuadable, but other than her possible influence over Baywatch I can't see where she's really notable. Just about everything about her on the web is either her website or a promotional blurb. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 09:15, 23 October 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79


 * Keep – There are sources that show that this person is notable. Inter rest (talk) 20:41, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Please show sources to back up your claims! All I've really found are articles that only mention her briefly, focus more on her husband, and/or are puff pieces. If you've got sources then you should post them. Just saying that a person is notable and that there's articles doesn't really make your case.

 * Delete per Tokyogirl. It's a borderline article, but I think it falls on the delete side of the border.  &mdash;SW&mdash; gab 18:37, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - Tokyogirl is right here - while there are good-looking references such as USA Today, they actually only contain weak tangential mentions or small quotations, without doing much to confer notability. It's a bit of a borderline case because these are certainly sources, and she must have been notable enough to be quoted or interviewed, but it's all pretty flaky. If a single *good* source turns up, I'll be happy to change my mind. Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:19, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. General notability guideline - No significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. MisterRichValentine (talk) 21:51, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
