Lack of relevance. Other queens on the show have also had their pages deleted for lack of relevance. See Articles for deletion/Acid Betty, Articles for deletion/Tatianna (drag queen), Articles for deletion/Derrick Barry (2nd nomination), and Articles for deletion/Derrick Barry. Most of the points still hold up. It's a minimally sourced WP:BLP of a person whose primary claim to notability is having been a contestant on a reality show. I'd understand if she won the season, the winners tend to have more claims to notability but in this case, she hasn't won.

Given the name of the user who first created the page (User:Sashavelour), I'm wondering if it's a promotional thing created by the person themselves. Oath2order (talk) 20:52, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete - There is no evidence of notability. The season did not finish yet, and they do not have any significance other than being on the season. Omar Azrak (talk) 23:04, 9 May 2017 (UTC) — Omar Azrak (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Redirect to RuPaul's Drag Race (season 9) which seems to be standard policy for reality TV show contestants not notable outside of their show. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:32, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to RuPaul's Drag Race (season 9) given lack of notability outside of the context of the show. Aoba47 (talk) 22:27, 13 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Colapeninsula and Aoba74. And yes, it's pretty clearly an autobio. I cleaned it up and added the WP:RS I could find on him, and now there's​ not much left to show independent notability. Uncle Roy (talk) 12:49, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
