 * Delete per WP:BLP1E. Cloudz 679 07:38, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - In addition to the three sources in the article, there's more reliable-source coverage available, which qualifies this topic per WP:GNG:
 * News.com.au article (subject's name appears to be misspelled in parts of the article, with the middle name "Lee")
 * Billboard article
 * Newsday article

 * Comment This is a good example of why WP:BIO1E was created: "If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event, and if that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having an article on them." As cute as this little girl is, this is just yet another YouTube video that received some attention and there is no indication that we'll hear from her again.--RadioFan (talk) 01:14, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete The existence of reliable sources is completely outweighed by WP:BLP1E. Magister Scienta talk 01:44, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - There probably needs to be an RfC at some point about how to handle coverage of viral videos with respect to their encyclopedia-worthiness. I think we've got a pretty low bar for pop culture, and that's not necessarily a bad thing — Wikipedia is both a serious encyclopedia AND a compendium of pop culture. I expect this will close a keep under current standards calling for multiple instances of significant coverage. I'm not entirely sure that it should. No opinion.

 * Delete as a 1 event BLP. Doubly so as a little kid.--Yaksar (let's chat) 00:01, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
