I find very little coverage of this person that would establish notability, and I don't think a Young Entrepreneurs of the Year Award from the Small Business Administration suffices to get her over the fence in terms of notability as an artist. Largoplazo (talk) 22:30, 25 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment Just a note for context - this is a new article created 20 minutes ago, as part of an editathon that I'm helping with. I'm working with the author on developing and improving the article today. Dreamyshade (talk) 22:44, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
 * OK, here are the sources of notability we found: a student grant from CMU, SBA award, MTV interview, a few newspaper articles. I fleshed out the article a bit to make sure they're visible. It's something, but I'm also not sure if it's enough to get the article over the notability fence. Dreamyshade (talk) 18:28, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment The main contributor to the article appears to have a COI. It is unfortunate that this wasn't brought up during the edit-a-thon. Perhaps this article could be userfied until more sources are added, then sent to Draft to let other users write the article, and minimize the COI. Mduvekot (talk) 14:00, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Good point, I wasn't looking for COI during the busy editathon, and I should have. I don't think the article suffers much from it though, other than that it probably wouldn't have been created without a personal connection of some kind. After the deletion nomination, we put a copy in User:Claudinezapfriedberg/sandbox so it can be further developed if other sources turn up later. Dreamyshade (talk) 04:40, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete references do not establish notability. The achievements here, and the reporting that proves them, are routine and non-notable. someone should also nominate the linked aritcle Andi Irwin for the same reasons. 198.58.162.200 (talk) 01:40, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
