List of models who died during their careers in the 21st century

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The issue with this list is that it is a vague and indiscriminate list consisting of people who are described in Wikipedia as having worked as a model regardless if they have modeled once, temporarily or are no longer active because there are no evidence of such. This list is like listing any celebrities who took part in the Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race into a list of racing drivers who died in racing crashes except with a greater ratio.

Although some of them are obviously notable, some are outside of modelling or not as models themselves (Peaches Geldof); dethroned beauty contestant (Nafisa Joseph and Eva Ekvall), which make them ineligible for listing unless entering in another competition which they do not appear to be, reality show contestants related to modelling (Anna Maria Moström and Mirjana Puhar) but there are solely notable but for other things (Sally Anne Bowman, as a murder victim). The sources does not indicate whether some of them were active at their time of death neither are there any evidence of some being notable as such (Jiah Khan), not to forget there is a section for those who has no Wikipedia page, which some have no chance of getting their own page. In effect, this list betrays the heading stating they had "notable career as models".

Lastly, being murdered or OD'ed as a model is no different to being such for a musician or an actor and I do not see a list for such unless for the former, they were aged 27. Donnie Park (talk) 23:07, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - I agree with Donnie's reasons above. An indiscriminate list which appears to be of very limited, very dubious value, and the inclusion of non-notables pushes it into Original Research Territory. Mabalu (talk) 18:45, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. In addition to the above arguments, dying happens to everyone. Unless the cause has some strong connection to modeling (e.g. anorexia), there's no real point to this list. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:02, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, among the other valid reasons for deletion detailed above. Philg88 ♦talk 13:48, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - seems to pretty much personify (or would that be listify?) the concept of WP:INDISCRIMINATE.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:53, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
