 * Keep. There are lots of hits on Google News Archive going back some 10 years for this designer. She has multiple celebrity clients and has had high profile exposure, such as her work being featured on the red carpet at the Oscars, and has designed headdresses for celebrity weddings. The sources are out there. Mabalu (talk) 13:26, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Clearly she has sold some jewelry to people, but there are no references to establish WP:CREATIVE. Regarding references on google, I can only find links to her own press releases or listings for products. But I'm sure she is a very nice and creative person.--Modern.Jewelry.Historian (talk) 03:58, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep I have expanded the article considerably, and added several independent references which had been lacking. She has plenty of coverage in both the English-language and Italian-language press. --MelanieN (talk) 18:38, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Nice work, big improvement, WSJ article is clear support for notability. However I believe the article is overly promotional. My main complaint is her work is often worn by high-profile celebrities in the lede. Even if that was cited, I feel it is inappropriate there. Thanks for your great work!--Modern.Jewelry.Historian (talk) 20:28, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. I was the one who added that material, and I have no interest in this woman or her company at all - never heard of her in fact. The reason I added those two quotes to the lead paragraph was to "explain why the topic is notable" and "establish the notability of the article's subject in the first few sentences," as per WP:LEDE. But I'm open to moving them elsewhere in the article. In any case, we should probably discuss editing questions at the article talk page, rather than here at the AfD. --MelanieN (talk) 21:48, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
 * P.S. I don't know how to interpret this diff, do you? It looks as if the article might have been part of a group AfD nomination, back in June, with the result "keep", but there doesn't seem to be any record of that at the article. --MelanieN (talk) 00:48, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Weird, seems to have been saved by a reputable editor. Agree re moving to talk, but at this stage I'm ready to propose closure to Keep as per WP:WITHDRAWN if you want to deemphasize the celeb stuff. Really every jewelry designer article legitimately on WP could propose to add that sentence to their lede. The inevitable next step is that they want to add a long list of names! Reference supporting the statement!--Modern.Jewelry.Historian (talk) 01:08, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, the reference cited names half a dozen celebrities, but I deliberately didn't include any of the names. (WP:NOTINHERIT). If you want to delete that half-sentence about celebrities from the lede, it's OK with me. --MelanieN (talk) 03:46, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
 * There, I took it out. --MelanieN (talk) 16:56, 19 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Note for an administrator per the discussion above and apparent consensus, my AfD is WP:WITHDRAWN please Speedy Keep--Modern.Jewelry.Historian (talk) 17:01, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
