Erin Everly

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Subject fails WP:ENTERTAINER. Also, subject doesn't appear to be notable outside of being the subject of a popular song and her marriage to Axl Rose which is already documented Rose's article and needlessly repeated in Everly's article.  Pinkadelica ♣  22:46, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - I only saw one notable source on both Google and Yahoo here, I didn't see other sources that could help a biography. SwisterTwister   talk  19:21, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Content the nom removed as a copyvio (I'll take his word for it) suggests she may have some independent notability as a model, having been signed by a major agency in the early 1980s, featured in major brand ad campaigns, etc. Given that all of this would predate the WWW, we shouldn't expect to find anything about this without some digging in some 1980s magazine archives which may not be online.  Regardless of whether that can be verified (I don't know) or would establish notability, the subject at minimum poses a problem in that she's relevant to several separate notable subjects (her father was one of The Everly Brothers, her mother Venetia Stevenson apparently merits an article too, she was married to Axl Rose, and the song Sweet Child o' Mine was written about her), which means that there's no one single redirect target.  That's not a "WP:INHERITED" argument (though I would expect coverage about her in any Axl Rose/Guns N Roses or Don Everly biography), it's just that readers should be able to find all of this out about her from any of the references to her in those articles, and I don't think it makes much sense to repeat the same things about her everywhere she is mentioned instead of maintaining this as a "hub".  Maybe someone can come up with a clean solution that doesn't require a standalone article, but outright deletion would seem to just cause an informational gap or discontinuity.  postdlf (talk) 23:02, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
 * You don't have to take my word that the content I removed was copy-vio'ed. The content that was in the article was almost a direct copy from the subject's biography featured on her official website: official biography versus content I removed.
