Sam Cooke (Glamour Model)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

The subject of this very short stub article is verifiably a published model who has appeared in numerous mass-market magazines, and in "top 100" lists of models. Various published interviews exist, eg.. Is this sufficient to meet the WP:BIO criteria? The Anome (talk) 12:52, 16 November 2008 (UTC) --Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 14:28, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment: the middle two cites given above only mention the article's subject in passing, and the first is from a specialty website; only the last seems to me to count as a mainstream reliable source, and it's the same interview I've already cited above. This web page (warning: nudity) is certainly from a mainstream source -- it's published by News Corp. -- but it's more of a listing than an article. Is winning The Sun's Page 3 Idol competition sufficient to confer notability? -- The Anome (talk) 09:47, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
 * OK: on re-reading the above, I think the combination of the Sun blurb and Maxim interview just scrapes through as meeting the WP:BIO standard of significant coverage from multiple reliable sources, so, in spite of the negligible content of the article, this falls just on the "keep" side of the borderline, so I'm going to close this AfD as "withdrawn by nominator". -- The Anome (talk) 10:08, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
