Melissa Mermaid

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Although there are several links for various topics covered in the article to which the subject may be related to, there are no reliable sources that cover "Melissa Mermaid." Thus the article does not satisfy WP:BIO. Oore (talk) 02:06, 18 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete – Article fails to establish notability. Individual lacks GHITs and GNEWS of substance.  ttonyb  (talk) 04:15, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom and COI concerns.--NortyNort (Holla) 12:25, 18 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete. I do not see any evidence that the subject is a notable person. Wikipedia is not a webhost for Mermaid to write her autobiography. —C.Fred (talk) 14:03, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:BIO as non-notable, lacking reliable sources. DARTH SIDIOUS 2 (Contact) 14:26, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment There appears to be one reliable source--the article in Obesity Help. Admittedly it was written by the subject (as was much of the Wikipedia article) but that's okay since the publisher is independent.  Probably a delete, but not without hope if additional reference, preferably truly independent, can be found.Matchups 18:43, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't think that article contributes to her notability at all though, as it's still a primary source. I should have specified that I meant no reliable secondary sources in my nomination. Oore (talk) 22:40, 18 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete. Blatant vanity page - almost every article under "Published articles" is self-published (all you need to do to "publish" on newsvine is sign up), no secondary sources attest notability, and, oh yeah, the article was written almost entirely by "Mpthemermaid."
