Sherrie Lea

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Whatever this article is about it does not appear to be about Sherrie Lea. Almost all of the article is given over to an advert for one Adrian Finkelstein. It looks to me very much like WP:COATRACK and WP:VANISPAMCRUFTISEMENT and thus has no place here. Is Sherrie Lea even notable in her own right? Fiddle  Faddle  21:49, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Not a notable musician.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:15, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Upon further investigation, sources indicate some notability for the book (Marilyn Monroe Returns: The Healing of a Soul) but not enough for an article about Sherrie Lea Laird herself. Reluctant Keep and remove the unreliably sourced Finkelstein stuff. Searching "Sherrie Lea Laird" turns up enough notability for a stub about the singer, but not much more. - LuckyLouie (talk) 00:08, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Question Not my field, but what is it that shows her notability as a singer if none of her recordings are notable?  DGG ( talk ) 15:16, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
 * You're right, turns out all of the coverage regarding her focuses on the "Marilyn reincarnation" claims, , . - LuckyLouie (talk) 15:30, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
 * ? For me, were I closing this discussion, I would now read your opinion as neutral at best, tending to deletion. Does that match your own thoughts? Fiddle   Faddle  15:33, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Her notability seems borderline at this point with only those 3 sources I found, so I'll wait a bit to see if others dig up more reliable sources that would support a standalone article. If not, there may be a target article her claims fit into, although nothing comes to mind at the moment. - LuckyLouie (talk) 15:46, 16 September 2013 (UTC)


 * The book Marilyn Monroe Returns: The Healing of a Soul is notable. Maybe this should be moved there and rewritten as about the book. duffbeerforme (talk) 00:25, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Either delete or restructure as an article on the book. I regard the reincarnation claims as a load of rubbish, but that is my POV.  My view tends to be that she is an academic's case study.  The study may be notable, but that does not mean that the subject is.  Peterkingiron (talk) 14:31, 17 September 2013 (UTC)


 * As far as I can tell this person is not dead and BLP still applies. Can people bear that in mind please before making grand claims against this person in the article. I've seen zero evidence of legitimate academic study, but rather someone making money through a book written for the general public. Self-published and unreliable sources should not be used to make claims about a BLP. IRWolfie- (talk) 20:32, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
