Saskia de Brauw

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The problem is, she is a notable model in that she is considered an "industry icon" (not exactly a supermodel, but someone who has had longevity in the industry. Or The industry icons are models who have built stellar careers, they've snagged every cover, walked every show, booked every campaign, and lived to tell the tale. Before you can be a true supermodel, you have to become one of the industry's preferred stars and these girls are all bonafide favorites. In her case, campaigns for Armani, Chanel, Givenchy, Versace, etc.), and is seen as notable for having a great career “over 25” (Christ.) but it’s hard to find enough significant coverage to keep the actual article out of. I’ve seen things in Vogue and what not, but sadly it’s not sufficient here. Trillfendi (talk) 14:56, 22 September 2020 (UTC) They seem to believe these sources do the job, so here is withdrawn.

 * Keep I had no trouble finding in-depth coverage. Example, example. The article needs a cleanup. I'm not sure how much of an art career she really has, but as a model there is a lot of coverage. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 17:24, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
 * These sources barely substantiate the contents of the article (which had about 5 issue notices before I removed 3 of them). Net-a-porter, at the end of the day, is a clothing website. Trillfendi (talk) 17:31, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Then I guess we will need to have a shorter article. There are many, many sources out there. GNG is clearly established. Example, example, example, example, example.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 17:34, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Nytimes article: "When the Dutch artist and fashion model Saskia de Brauw first started traveling to New York for work, eight or so years ago, she found the city “a really overwhelming place.” NYtimes article: "A Walk Through Manhattan With Saskia de Brauw" Vogue article: "Saskia de Brauw and Vincent van de Wijngaard Go Off the Grid With a Multimedia Project, Ghosts Don’t Walk in Straight Lines".ThatMontrealIP (talk) 17:42, 22 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep - based on the multiple reliable sources found by . Netherzone (talk) 19:13, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep the many sources from, she meets WP:BASIC and citing just one source found by , she is clearly a notable model. . AfD is not cleanup, and clearly the inability of to find RS is not the same as failing GNG. HouseOfChange (talk) 21:16, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I didn’t ask you if AfD was cleanup. One of the many issue templates said that the article‘s only attribution was a primary source. I considered whether or not general notability was met. This was all but useless. Trillfendi (talk) 22:07, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Like many others, I watchlist WikiProject_Deletion_sorting/Women, where clearly notable women are sometimes AfDed, as for example you recently also did at Articles_for_deletion/Judith_Exner. There is enough SIGCOV to show SdB is notable, as everyone else but you so far agrees. HouseOfChange (talk) 22:43, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
 * did you do a WP:BEFORE on this? ThatMontrealIP (talk) 22:47, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Did I not just say that? Trillfendi (talk) 23:10, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Yet so much SIGCOV remained invisible. HouseOfChange (talk) 14:33, 23 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep per the sources found. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 20:58, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
