The result was delete. Although it saddens me to delete an article that included a citation for "Baker is considered curvaceous" under the "Career" heading. Peak unintentional COI comedy. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 13:09, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

I guess this discussion hinges around whether we consider a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model to be de facto notable and meeting WP:NMODEL. I don't, but am not well versed in the field. I found no coverage to suggest that WP:GNG is met, and consensus is divided as to whether SI meets notability by itself. See 1 2 and 3, all from around ten or more years ago. I propose a redirect to List of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover models. Eddie891 Talk Work 00:03, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete: No evidence of enduring notability here. Needs to have significant coverage unrelated to her single association with SI. - hako9 (talk) 04:52, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment No. Neither Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, Victoria’s Secret, nor Playboy are de facto claims of notability for a model on Wikipedia. Trillfendi (talk) 13:51, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete having a photograph of her appearing in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition is not a default sign of notability. When I came across this article a few days ago I considered nominating it for deletion, but had not gotten around to it yet.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:32, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
