Maria de Guzman (designer)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-notable fashion designer. Fails WP:CREATIVE and WP:BIO. No evidence of notability: a fashion designer; has founded a company. Has picture. Appears to have one brief article in the specialised Australian Filipina Magazine. I imagine the only reason she got this coverage was because of her combining X and Y, a group with few members. Unable to find anything else. Article is simply a vanity and promotional piece created by the subject. A previous version Maria de Guzman Fashion Designer was speedied for advertising and this one could have as well if someone hadn't removed all the spam and cruft. The creator also blanked her talkpage and removed the prod without addressing the concerns nor giving an explanation. Christopher Connor (talk) 15:34, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
 * The creator also vandalised the redirect Maria de Guzman (to someone else) and converted it into a second vanity piece along this one, which almost lead to it being deleted. Christopher Connor (talk) 15:40, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - Lacks coverage about her. The only sourcing in the article is from www.australianfilipina.com describing her as "an upcoming fashion designer" and breathlessly leads the article with "Three months ago, a new fashion designer burst onto the Sydney scene. Her name is Maria de Guzman and she’s a proud Australian-Filipina!".  The Fashion Forward festival decribes her as "an emerging fashion designer whose first collection is being launched at this years forward fashion festival."  In other words, she may become notable in the future and seems to have got off to a good start, but that's not sufficient for inclusion now. - Whpq (talk) 18:14, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
