Unfortunately the young lady lacks notability in the Wikipedia sense, despite being immensely notable and important to those who came into contact with her and who loved her. I understand why an article has been placed here, but Wikipedia is not a memorial site. It is with regret that I submit this article for discussion regarding retention or deletion.

 * Delete - subject cannot be notable for being a cancer sufferer alone, and is not the only victim of illness who has created a YouTube account or started up a blog or vlog - these are fairly easy to set up. A crucial point might be the number of subscribers, followers or internet "hits" on either her Instagram or YouTube accounts. However, the maximum quoted in the article is 35,000, which, to me, appears unremarkable. Her stated "bonding" with fellow "internet celebrity" Talia Castellano should be discounted 1) as there is no case for a 'reflected notability', and 2) it is questionable whether Castellano's page should exist anyway, in similar fashion to this subject's article. While we should have the utmost sympathy for the subject, there is no discernible notability evident here. Ref (chew) (do) 23:56, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete -- An article on a child who died aged 11, created a week after her death, from cancer, which she had suffered from for several years. Being active on the Internet is hardly notable.  I am naturally sorry fro her family, but she was non-notable, except to her family and friends, who will no doubt miss her.  Peterkingiron (talk) 09:08, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. A sad death, but a terminal illness plus access to the Internet does not equate to notability. WP:NOTMEMORIAL. WWGB (talk) 09:52, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
