Beri Smither

New PROD was declined after previously being PRODed in 2006. Rationale was “ Inadequately sourced since creation in 2006. No indication individual passes WP:GNG.” TonyBallioni (talk) 11:48, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete unsurprisingly. I WP:IAR accepted the recent prod on this—this is a BLP that's been unsourced for fourteen years (the single alleged "source" is just a link to a long-dead user-generated site)—but the deletion was overturned so here we are. The number of Google hits is deceptive; as far as I can ascertain there's nothing that's actually about her, just "and Beri Smither was also there" type mentions on coverage of other people. &#8209; Iridescent 11:59, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. TB beat me too it. A shame about the process-for-process-sakism of course. Even if anyone wanted to source this (and there doesn't seem to be any urgency about that), there is a complete dearth of coverage of the subject in third-party, independent reliable sources, in either the literature  or news outlets  which ranges from zero at worse to passing, WP:MILL-type, diectory mentions. This is the only thing that appears to have been written on them: Perfect People, unsurprisingly, is not a good source. Fails to meet the most basic requirements of WP:ANYBIO.  ——  SN  54129  12:23, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete Hardly notable. Bkatcher (talk) 14:24, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per the initial prod I started (without realizing it had been prod'd before). Loksmythe (talk) 15:22, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete It just might (maybe sorta) have been WP:TOOSOON when it was created but the decade+ that has passed since then shows that it does not meet WP:GNG. MarnetteD&#124;Talk 05:49, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per all of the above. SarahSV (talk) 06:00, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete That such a sub-standard article has survived for 14 years is a reflection on our very poor oversight here at Wikipedia. Not quite as bad as the 16 years of the article on Barahir, but not much better.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:18, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Everything seems to check out. The subject was clearly a top-tier model during the 1990s, being featured on the cover of all the major fashion magazines and so passes WP:NMODEL.  The TV show didn't last but her role in that checks out too.  Andrew🐉(talk) 00:34, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
