Fails WP:ACADEMIC and WP:CREATIVE. Online sources are few and largely self-published or social media-orientated. LS1979 (talk) 18:24, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete: A WP:SPA biography. Multiple searches are not turning up the independent 3rd party sources that are required to demonstrate WP:CREATIVE notability; nor does the subject's working life meet the WP:NACADEMICS criteria. AllyD (talk) 20:13, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

 * The photography is very different, but are some aspects of Leonardi's "Borderlands" perhaps inspired by Luca Nizzoli Toetti's "Almost Europe"? (Oddly, Google doesn't show them mentioned together. All it has is a page that includes one blog entry mentioning the one photographer and another blog entry mentioning the other.) Toetti doesn't seem to have an article in any Wikipedia; if he did and if it were up for AfD here, I'd defend it vigorously: there've been exhibitions, there's a book, there's been reaction to these. For Leonardi, there's much less, so far. If she's an "emerging" photographer, then give her time to emerge. And after emergence, we might consider an article for her that, please, would not list her claimed technical skills. As for this article, now: delete. -- Hoary (talk) 10:58, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
