Article is about a non-notable cosplayer. There is no chance of building a balanced biography on this person, as the only media coverage in reliable sources is about her appearance at a Penny Arcade Expo. This should be deleted under both WP:BLP and WP:BIO1E. Kaldari (talk) 02:04, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep. The focus should be on the fact that there is media coverage from reliable sources, which makes her notable.  That the coverage is about her wearing skimpy costumes shouldn't be used to argue against notability.  She's a Guest of Honor at the upcoming Anime Expo, which should be a good indicator of notability.  She is known for more than one event, so I don't think WP:BIO1E applies here.  I also don't see any balance issues, the article seems to have an NPOV. -- Norvy (talk) 16:42, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
 * The focus of my argument is the fact there there isn't adequate coverage in reliable sources. I don't care so much what the coverage is about. I've revised my wording to make this more clear. The gossipgamers citation isn't a reliable source as it's an obscure community blog that doesn't seem to have any professional writers (See WP:USERG). The other sources seem to be more established news blogs, but they only cover one event. The new Anime Expo source that you found does cover an additional event, so WP:BIO1E may not apply. It's questionable, however, whether the Anime Expo source would qualify as "3rd party", since they are merely covering their own event. Kaldari (talk) 18:39, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. She's borderline notable and I'd rather err on the side of caution and keep the page for now. There has been some coverage at UK Official Playstation Magazine website (Cosplay gallery). Also she is popping up in other places, such as a kickstarter project (not funded yet, but quite likely to be funded) as a guest card in a zombies-versus-survivors downloadable trading card game called Z (link). She is the face of Lollipop Chainsaw (a video game, which reached #1 in various game charts). CodeTheorist (talk) 22:10, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
