This article is about Noel Fielding's partner. She has presented a few radio shows, and appeared in a few plays, and been a guest on a few TV newscasts, and writes for a blog or two, but there's nothing in this article or its references to suggest that she has any particular notability. Suggest a merge to Choose Love, the charity founded by the subject. Flip Format (talk) 16:30, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Redirect to the charity seems like a fine option, otherwise coverage is celebrity fluff articles. Oaktree b (talk) 20:19, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi Oaktree, this is Lliana...s i prepare for the publication of my second book and have been asked by various publications interviewing me to share my wikipedia page and i was a little saddened to see that my page had been deleted, and that all i had worked so hard for had been seemingly erased and reduced to "celebrity fluff". I have to defend this, but what was discussed felt reductive of my achievements and life's work...
 * I hold the honour of being the longest standing female DJ on Xfm/ Radio X (one of the most known/loved stations in the UK). I was on air on this station every week, twice weekly, nationally for over 16 years. I was the first female DJ to hold the post for longer than a decade. I was the last ever DJ to close the much beloved Xfm, as it ended before its relaunch as Radio X.
 * I have published a science book (under Little Brown/ Hatchet) and am now preparing my second book to be published under Rocket Bird (part of Harper Collins) this Autumn.
 * I co-founded Choose Love, which is today the largest grassroots charity working with refugees. Through this work i have been the recipient of numerous prestigious awards, including Liberty's Jo Cox Award.
 * I was named as Foreign Policy's top 100 thinkers. I was named as one of NESTA's New Radicals.
 * I was invited to host the London Peace talks as a result of my work, and have toured the country speaking out about my work, both in activism and in film.
 * I have written and directed my own short films, including 'Snapshots' which one 6 awards at film festivals.
 * I created and hosted two podcasts, one of which won several awards.
 * I have been interviewed across the press about my work, and appeared on the front cover of The Observer magazine (The New Review).
 * It is fine if you think this work does not make me notable enough for a wikipedia page, however i find the insinuation that my life's work is "celebrity fluff" hard to accept. 82.3.12.222 (talk) 11:31, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Choose Love. The merge could be a problem because of the lack of IS RS in this article. If any new content can be properly sourced, no objection to merging that, but improperly sourced BLP content should not be merged.  // Timothy :: talk  03:32, 20 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi Flip Format, as i prepare for the publication of my second book and have been asked by various publications interviewing me to share my wikipedia page i was a little saddened to see that you had requested my page be deleted. More so that the reason you suggest is that i as just the partner of someone famous, and have not done much myself. I did not set up my wikipedia page, and so feel sad i have to defend this, but what you have stated feels somewhat reductive of my achievements...

 * It is fine if you think this work does not make me notable enough for a wikipedia page, however i find the implication that i am just someone's partner, and that i have done "a few radio shows" quite insulting, and even a little misogynistic.
 * I would ask that perhaps you reconsider. Llianabird (talk) 13:40, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
