Dominique Aurientis

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Jewelry designer of questionable notability, article started out as a pile of steaming spam for her company, after the spam was removed, there's not much left except the steam. Wuh Wuz  Dat  19:57, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Marking for speedy No indication of significance, promotional only. EEng (talk) 20:03, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep She is mentioned by Nate Berkus in the promo for his show. She is linked to from the Nate Berkus article. She designs for many exclusive brands. Obviously the article needs editing but it doesn't deserve deletion. Have stopped the speedy deletion and have flagged for rescue.  Nipson anomhmata   (Talk) 20:33, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Being mentioned as a guest on an interior designer's TV show hardly demonstrates notability. Nor does being linked from another WP article, nor designing for various brands.  What matters is independent reliable sources giving substantial coverage.  EEng (talk) 21:39, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * She wasn't a guest on the show. Nate Berkus was one of her internship students in Paris. Have added a couple of useful references including the New York Times. There should be enough there to keep the article.  Nipson anomhmata   (Talk) 22:48, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * That works against Berkus being a reliable source independent of the subject. It's a student endorsing his teacher, as it were. EEng (talk) 22:55, 27 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep. Notable sources given on article talk page. Subject appears to meet WP:N criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia. ~Amatulić (talk) 23:17, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep This article from The New York Times (titled "Style Makers; Dominique Aurientis, Accessories Designer") establishes beyond a doubt that Dominique Aurientis is notable. Cunard (talk) 10:55, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - Articles in the New York Times and LA Times which feature Aurientis as the primary subject establish notability with significant coverage in reliable sources. -- Whpq (talk) 14:29, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep Click Google news archive search at the top of this AFD. Plenty of places mentioning the designer, so they are notable.  The very first result is from the New York Times, it an article about her.  Always search BEFORE you nominate.   D r e a m Focus  17:32, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
