 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I've nominated this simply because it's not only so blatant business job listing (WP:SPAM and WP:NOT), but there's no actual claims of significance, hence this could use immediate deletion if possible, because (1) the one award listed is entirely trivial and unconvincing, being a trivial "citizen" award, regardless of where it comes from, and (2) she's only a finalist for a TV show, that's not at all a confirmation of actual notability or substance let alone a convincing article. Everything else simply goes to be exact business listing materials such as "She's a health advocate and plans to start a nonprofit). The fact this also then, next, goes to such specifics about her schools and education, it can only be either a self-advertised biography and it is, by User:Paigemobley.

Delete clearly a self-promo job created by the subject,. I guess she could become notable if she wins America's Next Top Model, but I see little out there yet beyond YouTube, Social Media etc and minor mentions as a finalist in PerezHilton.com and Parent Herald.

Argument- Id like to make an argument against both Iadmc (Jubileeclipman) and SwisterTwister   talk   talk. Allow me to reference to the wiki articles of Michael Heverly, Cory Wade Hindorff, Jane Randall, Celia Ammerman, and Anchal Joseph. All of these former Top Model contestants have articles WITHOUT winning Top Model. They also ALL have far less "out there" or credits then that of Paige Mobley. To delete Paige Mobley without deleting all these other Top Model contestant articles would not make sense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paigemobley (talk • contribs) 21:04, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
 * They all seem to be established beyond the competition. What I mean by "little out there" is Reliable sources establishing notabilty for the subjects of Wikipedia articles. However, they may also fail the notabilty guidlines, too. I'll have to have a look. Thanks, Paige. Iadmc (Jubileeclipman) (talk) 21:14, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

ArgumentIadmc (Jubileeclipman) Im sorry, but I have to disagree. Cory Wade Hindorff "currently lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania." and Jane Randall " is engaged to a Canadian oil tycoon."... I don't see how these are notable or worthy establishments beyond the competition. As far as reliable sources go.. Ive read the article and I understand that collaboratively created websites (such as IMDB, personal site and Youtube) are not encouraged. However, the rest of the cited resources come from 3rd party acceptable articles. I will state again, to delete Paige Mobley while keeping the MANY other Top Model contestant articles does not make sense. Especially when MANY have significantly less accomplishments and experience than Paige Mobley. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paigemobley (talk • contribs) 21:31, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for adding some US sources which I didn't find initially (I'm in the UK). I will look more closely at those other articles: I only glanced at them before. IMDB and YouTube probably belong in External links with your Resumé (which is not a third party source since presumably either you or your agent wrote it...). Note: if your article is deleted, this is not a reflection on you, simply an enforcement on Wikipedia policy. You may yet become "notable" enough to be included so hang in there! Good luck with your career and the show! Iadmc (Jubileeclipman) (talk) 22:12, 18 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Comment to closer - Since the time I nominated this article, it has now changed to what's seen currently, but everything listed is simply trivial, regardless of whatever changes, because the one thing that summarizes this is: She's simply a TV show finalist. We have past AfDs as it is, and the WP:OSE articles listed above, can easily be nominated as TV show contestants are rarely ever independently notable, especially if solely as a finalist or beginning contestant.

 * Agree Iadmc (Jubileeclipman) (talk) 22:12, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

OK. I've flagged Cory Wade Hindorff for deletion I can only find social media etc for him. He's certainly an important role model for gay men and boys but little is written about him in third party sources. At least in the UK. The others have successful modelling careers though whether they are genuinely notable is also disputable. Iadmc (Jubileeclipman) (talk) 01:33, 19 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete: The self-promotion is embarrassing. Trafalk09 (talk) 10:21, 22 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete: Self-promotion - may receive notable coverage if she wins but it is currently Too soon, whilst other stuff exists is not a valid argument - Arjayay (talk) 12:10, 23 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete: I do agree with the arguments above though. Not that many contestants made a name for themselves after the show as Wikipedia seems to make it. Melia97 (talk) 21:38, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
