I am concerned about the ability of this article to meet WP:BLP. The sources present in the article are mostly tabloids or controversial works including the Daily Mail and the Daily Express, and a search for sources brings back similar hits. I would suggest some of the claims in the "Private life" section do not meet WP:BLPSOURCES and should be removed. That leaves us with the reliably sourced claim of being married to Martina Navratilova, which is fine for a redirect / merge. I did this, and was reverted with a summary of "don't delete articles". Well, BLP says we sometimes have to, so here's a discussion. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  10:32, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep. Cleanup, remove tabloids, OK, but a source like this is completely about her and only mentions Navratilova in passing. this may help as well. She is notable for things apart from her marriage to Navratilova (the beauty pageant, the Edouard Stern affair, her own business) and while not the most notable person, I think she passes GNG by a fair margin.

 * I thought Le Parisien was a tabloid, favouring pictures over content, but I'm happy to stand corrected on that. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  07:41, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
 * "Le Parisien" is intended to be relatively low-brow and has more pictures than, say, The Times, but it is not a "tabloid" in the sense of a sensationalist, gossip-riddled paper. According to the French Wikipedia article, "Le journaliste Edwy Plenel juge que Le Parisien relève « d’une presse populaire plus exigeante qui n’exclut ni la rigueur ni le sérieux »35. Pour Gloria Awad, Le Parisien adopte plutôt une approche « rigoureusement factuelle, jusqu'à l'élémentaire »36." So independent opinions proclaim that the newspaper is rigorously factual and serious (in its approach to the news), which makes it in general perfectly acceptable as a RS for us (individual articles may of course always present problems).

 * Good sources exist If they exist, add them to the article - they won't add themselves you know! Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  07:32, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep. Winning the Soviet Union's foremost national level beauty pageant seems to be at the upper end of the pageant winner nobility scale.-Kiwipat (talk) 01:55, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
