Fails WP:ENT. Spammy article on a "video vixen" w/o sources and no GNews hits, with no demonstration of notability.  Mbinebri  talk &larr; 02:03, 23 September 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Tony Fox (arf!) 19:01, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment But what if we WP:LIKE "video vixens?" Edison (talk) 05:32, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: She's mentioned in this article, can anyone access to see if its non-trivial? (excerpt: "Nicole Ricca. Ricca, a native of Jamaica, is presently in New York City working, says she is working enough through Ethnicity that she does not...")  Article needs rewrite, but not sure she is actually non-notable. --Milowent (talk) 06:03, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. As per Mbinebri, fails WP:ENT. An attractive young woman, of course, but see no evidence of notability here. Ohiostandard (talk) 08:08, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep: In followup to my above comment (hopefully someone can pull that article?). I did some rewriting and expanding of the article, I think she just crosses over into notability to me.  Though I have little knowledge of black-focused american media (which is not a small niche), clearly she was/is a popular niche "ethnicity" model.  And apparently a "video vixen" is typically a black female model who appears in rap music videos, though the term seems a bit informal.  A boatload of video appearances listed in the article, and lots of informal discussion that can be found about her online; she's not just some unknown model like those that rightfully go to AfD regularly. (Aside: I had added a youtube link from a morning talk show to support the belly casting claim, but Mbinebri removed because, as I see, probably is a copyright viol issue) --Milowent (talk) 14:19, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Featured on numerous notable magazines, and in notable music videos.  D r e a m Focus  15:01, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, clearly fails WP:ENT. Random appearances in music videos aside, of the new sources added, most are not significant coverage about Nicole herself, just her name mentioned in passing. Two are focused on Mario, not her (and the later does not appear to be a reliable source, but a gossip blog). The article from "The King" is about Hype Williams, and you have to hunt to find Nicole's mention. And Global Grind is basically a gallery of "Eye candy" with a bio of Nicole taken word from word from her own MySpace. -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 13:55, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. Passing media mentions are not enough to satisfy WP:ENT. Kevin (talk) 23:56, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - reading WP:ENT she clearly does not qualify. Peter Ballard (talk) 02:01, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Appearing in music videos and getting a few small mentions does not satisfy WP:ENT. Glass  Cobra  17:23, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
