fails WP:BIO. She is an art history student who participated in a reality show. I quote Articles for deletion/Sarah Knappik (participant of the same reality show but not just a student) "reality show participants are not considered inherantly notable here even if they garner some press as BLP1E kicks" Petr Ferreira (talk) 17:13, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep as article creator, as the subject clearly meets WP:GNG. Of course I thought it through before I took the time to create this article, I wouldn't spend my time on it otherwise.   But I noted the recent creation of the subject article on de.wikipedia and it being listed among the most popular articles on that wikipedia in this last week (68,000 views in days).  The nomination is simply incorrect that "she participated in a reality show."  She has participated in at least four "reality shows" in Germany over the past few years (and will soon appear in one more), with so much German media coverage that Stern has noted she is the "German Paris Hilton."  Of course, not every (nor many) run of the mill single-show reality contestant merits an article.  Sarah Knappik is a different person who received less coverage, even if the delete close at Articles for deletion/Sarah Knappik was iffy (and it was kept at de.wiki despite their penchant for deletion over there).--Milowent • hasspoken  17:44, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep She meets WP:GNG, as shown by refs in article and in German version. The rules excluding reality TV stars are for those who're not famous beyond their participation in one show. She has been on multiple reality shows, and done other things attracting press interest. She could be compared to British celeb Jade Goody, who had a similar career based largely on reality TV. --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:18, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
 * A comparison with Jade Goody is even as absurd as a comparison with Paris Hilton. Their entries on the Internet Movie Database have the hundredfold size. The deletion discussion in German Wikipedia still runs and it seems that they do not think that she is as notable as Sarah Knappik. I also count just two reality shows which have an entry in the Internet movie database or Wikipedia and not four. --89.187.142.72 (talk) 16:14, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
 * The German press compare her to Paris Hilton, not us. The de.wiki deletion discussion is a mess because its filled with commenters disgruntled that she is so popular in Germany (one of whom likely joined en.wiki just to start this deletion discussion, as he probably did for the Knappik discussion).  But even there, there are many "behalten" (keep) votes.  Her appearances include the German Bachelor, German Get Me Out of Here, I'm a Celebrity, and at least 2 proseiben channel appearances prior to that (Teen Cruise season 2 being one). It also includes Celebrity Dinner and Celebrity Boxing  (IMDB is not a reliable source for such things., always.)  But this is not a counting exercise, you can't discount the continuing pervasive coverage of her in German media.--Milowent • hasspoken  22:23, 30 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep - based on the coverage in reliable sources. Personally, I don't understand the fascination with these pseudo-celebs who are famous for being famous, but there's much in this world I don't fathom. -- Whpq (talk) 17:46, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
 * The German deletion discussion closed in a keep, de:Wikipedia:Löschkandidaten/21._Januar_2013, along the same grounds as Whpq's comment.--Milowent • hasspoken 18:08, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
