 * Comment: "Can a groupie ever merit an article in an encyclopaedia?"... Cynthia Plaster Caster? Richard3120 (talk) 02:30, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
 * @Richard3120 -- Thanks for reprinting my comment, by which I still stand. Cynthia Plaster Caster "who creates plaster casts of famous persons' breasts and erect penises" is (at least nominally, IMHO) is also an "artist" by today's standards anyway so it seems to me that it is kind of like comparing apples and oranges.

 * Comment The current article doesn't actually say why the subject is notable. Please expand it to explain that and it may have a chance of not being deleted.Accesscrawl (talk) 11:15, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Weak keep This is an odd one, someone who is only famous for being a groupie (and a reference in a song). But as there appear to be a number of reliable sources on her, she probably just about pass WP:BASIC. Hzh (talk) 16:39, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep "Can a groupie ever merit an article in an encyclopaedia?" Yes, as long as there are reliable and verifiable sources about the individual to establish notability. That standard is met. Alansohn (talk) 18:17, 10 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep Multiple reliable sources independent of the subject: it passes GNG. There are tons of bios in here about people whose lives don't inspire or even interest me, but bio subjects don't need to interest anybody here if they inspired enough interest in WP:RS to pass GNG. HouseOfChange (talk) 11:58, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - enough coverage by reliable and independent sources to meet the general notability guidelines in my opinion. Million_Moments (talk) 19:44, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. The ten inline cites are sufficient to indicate notability and those cites, including the obituaries, describe how earned her own specialized claim to fame.   Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 03:34, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
