IPhone Girl

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Notability concerns: This is an article about an anonymous girl who works at a factory in China, who gained extremely brief notoriety because a few pictures of her apparently appeared on someone's iPhone. This may merit a couple of sentences, tops, in the IPhone article itself but is hardly worthy of an entire article. WP:RECENTISM and WP:NOTNEWS reflect my concerns here: there was a flurry of activity from anons and newcomers for a couple of days, then activity dropped off almost completely.

 * Move to Wikinews, that's where news belongs. Tohd8BohaithuGh1 (talk) 21:49, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm 99% sure that they only allow creation of recent news, so something that occurred over a month ago wouldn't qualify as current. Pie is good   (Apple is the best)  22:13, 22 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete Deserves a brief mention in the iPhone article, at most. Tempodivalse (talk) 18:50, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Strong Delete - My friend also works in a factory and I took his picture on my phone. Why doesn't he have his own article? Jay Gatsby(talk) 07:12, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
