 * Soft keep. The sources currently in article are good enough for me, although not perfect/ideal. No real presence on Google News, but she is a relative newcomer. We have kept other articles with less sourcing/references, and I believe that even if deleted now, at risk of sounding WP:CRYSTALBALL, she should pass notability this time next year at this rate.

 * Comment Then this is a case of WP:TOOSOON and the article can be created when and if that notability threshold is passed. My !vote is Delete. § FreeRangeFrog 21:14, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete Agree with FreeRangeFrog, this is a case of WP:TOOSOON. Google News Archive finds almost nothing. --MelanieN (talk) 19:02, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep I am this articles creator. The article meets all WP:NOTABILITY requirements. WP:TOOSOON states that if WP:BASIC is met that the notability standard takes precedence. WP:TOOSOON specifically states that it is only to be used if the sources quoted DO NOT YET EXIST but all of the sources do exist. Really? Womens Wear Daily isn't enough for a designer to be considered notable? It's essentially the fashion bible. Chatterboxer (talk) 14:10, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
 * The Women's Wear Daily article is behind a paywall, so it isn't possible to tell whether that is actually significant coverage or a passing mention. The lede talks about "a pack of" female designers, which suggests that she gets maybe a paragraph in an article about many designers. In any case, a single reliable-source reference is not enough to establish notability; the guideline says "multiple". --MelanieN (talk) 14:32, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - Nothing in the article or sources I saw indicate that the subject is notable for a standalone article. Is she one of the most famous designers who is widely recognized? Nope. So what exactly is the claim to notability here? Holyfield1998 (talk) 14:40, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
