Sorry, just not a notable designer, no references etc. This article is a marketing placement. Modern.Jewelry.Historian (talk) 04:31, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Do not delete. Agreed that article needed citations.  I just went through and added them.   Forero appears to be a figure in the Chicago jewelry design scene.   There is press on her shows and work in that region.  She seems to have had an ongoing business since 2003 - that is nine years in the business.   Not much presence in NY based on google so probably not on the radar of someone at FIT :) Jytdog (talk) 12:24, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

Oops, reading the AfD procedure again, I'll simply change my opinion to Keep, and hope for an admin to determine --Modern.Jewelry.Historian (talk) 21:17, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep especially after Jytdog's reference sourcing and edits. Is notable enough. Mabalu (talk) 13:11, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Nice work Jytdog, and thx Mabalu. You are a credit to WP. I'll un-AfD --Modern.Jewelry.Historian (talk) 21:13, 16 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your kind words. You can apparently withdraw your nomination:  WP:WITHDRAWN   This is one of the "special circumstances" under which an AfD can be closed early:  WP:CLOSEAFD.   Since there is no fierce debate here I think you can signal that you are withdrawing and close it and remove the tag.  I think. Jytdog (talk) 22:20, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

WP:WITHDRAWN seems the proper guide, AfD removed, thanks! --Modern.Jewelry.Historian (talk) 22:55, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

Note for an administrator. As the original nominator for AfD, per the comments and edits above, I tried to end the AfD by removing the template on the article's page under WP:WITHDRAWN, which backfired, because now all the bots think I'm trying to circumvent the process. I'm not an administrator I so cannot close the debate here. --Modern.Jewelry.Historian (talk) 15:57, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
