Elyse Sewell

 * KEEP - Active working model, author, noted blogger, and a personality to boot. Those who say that this should be deleted because she was just the "loser of a game show" and other similar comments obviously do not know enough about her to be able to have any valued opinion on this.
 * KEEP- Elyse is a Top model of Hong Kong, she published a book, she has a famous blog, she appeared on a reality television show, she has 3 modeling agencies, she was named one of Wired's 10 sexiest geeks, Hong Kong's Cover Magazine named her the face of 2005, she has been in countless advertisements and on many magazine covers, she was in a 'Shins' music video, etc. She is overqualified to be on Wikipedia, this is ridiculous!
 * Keep- Easily the most entertaining and captivating character on the first season of a successful show. Many fans of the show favored her over the winner and her modeling career is steadily growing, whereas the winner has all but given up on modeling.
 * Loser of a game show. Non notable. Alphax &tau;&epsilon;&chi; 14:30, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Not notable for anything. Copyrighted images need to be deleted as well. Ashibaka (tock) 14:49, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete nonnotable. "third to next top model" is not fame. mikka (t)
 * Abstain. Potentially she could be notable as a model (i.e. for work done after her appearance on America's Next Top Model), although more evidence would need to be provided. --Metropolitan90 04:51, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * Change my vote to Keep per information provided by User:Pictureadder and User:Schreck37; the Harper's Bazaar cover is verifiable. --Metropolitan90 01:49, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)
 *  Weak Keep marginal notability. JamesBurns 05:54, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, come back when you win something. Radiant_ &gt;|&lt; 09:04, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep-- Elyse is absolutly notable. She is a role model. She is one of the most successful girls Top Model has ever produced. She was in a nationally-airing television comercial and has appeared on several magazine covers. One of her confessionals was rated number 16 on E!'s Most Outrageous Reality TV Moments. She was one of the most notorious girls from her cycle of ANTM. "How non-notable!!!!!!!!!!"
 * Keep--Flagger commented that Elyse is non-notable. This person is starting to be very very well known.  In fact, the E channel took note of her this year. E placed Elyse as 16th in their All Time Most Outrageous Moments.  Please note that all other placers on the show are noteworthy.  Elyse is also burning the internet wires.  Statistics on internet searches this weekend showed that searches for Elyse zoomed more than 500% where as the actual winner's searches zoomed only 250%.  Elyse has been on covers of magazines.  The winner has not.  We know that runners up often achieve more than actual winners do.  With all the other stupid stuff I have seen on Wikipedia in doing my pre-writing work, I cannot believe you would consider deleting her.  Please go to the referenced blog and read thru more than the current entry.  If there is a problem with the pictures, I'll switch them out.  I see you used pictures from the show Elyse was on at the America's Next Top Model page.  If there are no problems with those, there should be no problems with these.  Also, Elyse Sewell's name has been listed on America's Next Top Model page as a contestant because writers of that page, not me, felt the listed contestants are what the show is focusing on each week for more than a couple of months.  She did not appear for just one show and that was it.  She was narrating sections each week for months.  Now the show is being broadcasted over and over again on VH-1.

 *  Comments regarding sockpuppets, honor, any other subsequent allegations and this process I will write on my personal page. ADMINISTRATORS PLEASE GO TO MY PERSONAL PAGE  Pictureadder 16 June 6:33am


 * Delete The fact that Pictureadder is a professor somehow makes Elyse Sewell more notable? Could rename it to the "next to the next to the next top model". --Xcali 17:57, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Keepish Someday, somebody's going to need to look her name up. Gzuckier 13:50, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep The entry on Elyse should be kept, because she is the only contestant on any season of Top Model to amount to anything in the modeling world that wasn't simply given to her by Top Model's producers. Elyse has appeared on the cover of an Asian edition of Harper's Bazaar in addition to working steadily in Hong Kong and other locations around the world. Keeping her entry provides a useful contrast to the sadly lacking modeling careers of the so-called "winners" of this increasingly laughable reality TV show and highlights its haphazard judging.--Schreck37 21:57, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * First contribution from Schreck3 (talk &bull; contribs). Suspected sockpuppet. Alphax &tau;&epsilon;&chi; 04:59, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Whether she's making a big name as a model is irrelevant; the point is that she has a good sized fan base and is going to be of ongoing interest to them, and to those who hear them mentioning her. She may not have won the TV contest, but she was by most reports the main reason the show was a hit -- such a significant hit that the UPN network remade their entire schedule to try to appeal to young female viewers, discarding boy shows like Star Trek: Enterprise.  Since she has been published more than once as a humor writer (which ought to be mentioned in the entry), and her blog audience is growing exponentially due to her wit as a raconteur, this is not someone who is going to drop out of the public eye just because of not being a superstar in modeling. --Paul Kienitz 00:27, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Non-referenced, pure advertising, and non-notable person. She was on a reality show 5 years ago. Delete! 71.199.240.158 21:16, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Again- This article was put up for deletion two years ago as the dates here indicate. Since then, the article was kept and has undergone a high volume of edits over the years.  Many people keep track of what she is doing.  As the history indicates, she was named "Face of the Year" by a major magazine in Hong Kong.  She appeared in a commercial with Chow Yun Fat.  She has written a popular book.  Most of the information in her entry could be sourced by the book she wrote.  I don't make a lot of Wikipedia entries or updates so I didn't write a cite myself.  In Wikipedia, models have their cover and campaign credits listed so readers know what the people are famous for.  Elyse has a multitude of credits.    ThanksUser:Pictureadder July 3, 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep She is the most notable of the models (especially as an American in China), and the only model from the show I know of that is working in that field as a result of her appearance of said show. With a book too, that should solidify her article's status as a keeper. Jimcripps 04:24, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep She is the most notable model from the show, and has written a book. She appears in a lot of decent magazines in HK, and has appeared in a TV commercial with Chow Yun-Fat.  That's notable enough for me.kju 07:09, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - Aside from her notoriety as a reality TV star and her notoriety as an international model, she is also a blogger of note. Her livejournal blog is an interesting look at the world of modeling from the inside, but also a humorous commentary by an American living and working abroad. She has a clean, quick, modern writing style; her viewpoint is open and curious; and she is passionate about the diversity around her. She's a great role-model for the future-- the new global citizen. Mary919 July 9, 2007
 * Keep - She is a published author, a printed model, and a face recognized by America's Next Top Model fans internationally.
 * Keep - Elyse is a internationally recognized blogger, book publisher, model, and cult icon to millions watching ANTM all over the world.
 * KEEP- Not notable? She is an author not only of a published book but an internationally famed blog which is read by thousands every month (if not more). She is one of the ONLY contestants of "America's Next Top Model" to actually have and sustain a successful modeling career - perhaps the only one to do so at an international level.  How she is not a notable figure is beyond me...
