The subject seems to fail basic notability tests. The sources to do not seem to show she's noteworthy. Moreover, this seems to be a potentially significant BLP problem because of the sensitive, arguably lurid subject matter and allegations (e.g. that she was involved in a "sex cult") Bad edits r dumb (talk) 09:17, 26 September 2010 (UTC)


 * NOTE: The author of the article claims to be Spiegel herself.  Not sure how or whether we would verify something like this, but if it's true, this poses COI and NPOV issues.  If false, this makes the BLP violations all the worse.--Bad edits r dumb (talk) 09:44, 26 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Speedy G10 - the article is clearly being used to publicize highly controversial and potentially derogatory material, and includes inappropriate private material, apparently with a singular purpose of highlighting the experiences of the author. As there is a clear BLP issue, I have nominated it for CSD:G10 and blanked the page. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:19, 26 September 2010 (UTC) (updated 11:06, 26 September 2010 (UTC))
