The result was delete. There is an argument that the topic is notable via GNG, but this is disputed by several editors. Overall consensus is that the topic is not currently notable, and that should the topic become notable it would be better to start from scratch. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 20:40, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a vanity publisher or a means of promotion. Sourcing is inadequate for notability. The girls own site, them talking about themselves, alumni publication, indiscriminate puff piece. A search found nothing better. After creation was taken over by spam SPAccounts such as Thebakertwins, Bakertwinedits, Bakertwin and Nativegirl21. See previous afd Articles for deletion/The Baker Twins (created by User:Bearcat).

 * To my memory I created both of the articles and it was never for their promotion. It was because of their advocacy for Native Americans and First Nations in Hollywood and the Modeling world that had to deal with racism and stereotyping.  Yes both are famous models doing different things, but their modeling careers wasn't the main point for the articles' creation.  I've been multitasking so much that I lose track of keeping unnecessary info out of them, and for that I apologize.  I don't want to see their articles destroyed because of that they are activists for Native and First Nation portrayals in Hollywood.Mcelite (talk) 15:47, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete Seems to be a prolific but non-notable actress and social activist. Her numerous minor roles are backed with citations, but said citations do not convince me the subject meets WP:NACTRESS. In addition, the subject's activism has only accrued minor coverage (seemingly centered around the years 2007-2008), but said coverage is not in-depth and is centered around information from quotes provided by the Baker twins and as such the sources are not independent of the subject, a key part of WP:SIGCOV and WP:BIO. This leads me to believe the article subject is not notable enough an actress nor an activist to be included in an encyclopedia.--SamHolt6 (talk) 00:39, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep I agree 100% the articles need to be fixed but I do not believe that merits for them to be deleted.
 * True, AfD is not cleanup, but notability requirements should always be met.--SamHolt6 (talk) 09:44, 22 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep - A GNG pass through the "Baker Twins" connection. Carrite (talk) 15:51, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
 * A single appearance on a notable show does not confer undue notability on the subject, unless of course a RS makes the case that it does.--SamHolt6 (talk) 09:44, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete - would change my mind if article was based on WP:RS and the first reference wasn't a WP:SPS. - Scarpy (talk) 20:32, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - Both have no evidence of any notability - Both fail NACTOR & GNG. – Davey 2010 Talk 21:18, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - I thought I might be able to salvage this, but couldn't find any sources to start doing so. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  10:00, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete – Purely promotional. I'm in favor of WP:TNT if more sources could be found, but this can't really be fixed as is. Redditaddict69 13:47, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
