Samantha Sleeper

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

In a rare instance of bringing an article here instead of first going through PROD or CSD-G11 etc., I am concerned that this article, posted in only 3 edits, has all the hallmarks of a commissioned work. It's quite obviously (to me at least) artspam - advertorial for a fashion firm masquerading as a Wikipedia BLP. All the sources appear to be about her company and her products.

 * The article is sourced by tabloid newspapers, specialized fashion magazines/websites, and by "general" sources such as CNN. To me, they seem to be independent and quite substantial. Yes, they are about "her company and her products", maybe that's because Samantha Sleeper creates interesting and noteworthy products, is that possible? In my opinion, we shouldn't discuss motives of the creator, the way an article was created or habits of the nominator, but instead of it we should discuss real notability of the subject and the sources available. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 11:52, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep and edit This entire article is clearly not written from a neutral point of view; there needs to be some editing done on this article to ensure it reads without any promotional slant. This should've been corrected before the article was put to AfD, however. The subject passes notability easily with WP:GNG so I don't see this as a contender for deletion. st170e talk 00:27, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
