Overly promotional. After I went through and did some cleanup, it dawned on me that the language did not seem natural... When I plugged in some of the the phrases I came up with. When looking at the text I discovered an almost 100% copy While the original Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Rebecca Lindsey was created before the Wikia page, the fact that both of these use the same wording and promotional detail including very minor and non-notable interactions in prose to draw interest. I would assert that this is either a poorly written PR bio or a self bio. With the intention to get this submitted (and the external Wikia site authored by RLindsey) I suspect that there is some external communication hapening and therefore per WP:WEBHOST this should be deleted and let the Wikia site be the Biography's location Hasteur (talk) 04:59, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
 * The subject contacted the OTRS team (see ticket #2013060410012426) seeking information on the status of the AFC submission and guidance on uploading images. I let her know that Samantha removed the article from the AFC queue. I then instructed her to work on the draft in a subpage of her user space and forgo uploading images until notability and sourcing issues are addressed. This is a good faith effort to contribute to the encyclopedia, with the editor seeking assistance to learn policies and guidelines. As stated at the top of this userpage, "It is an individual user's work in progress page, and may be incomplete and/or unreliable." Honestly, nominating this draft 2.5 hours after the editor began working on it is a bit heavy handed. Again, this is a good faith effort to contribute. Let's allow the editor to continue drafting this article, permitting a learning curve, rather than just outright deleting because a new editor's work just isn't quite there yet.

 * I agree with Cindamuse. Deleting this now is too soon. I hope she gets good advice from someone familiar with this sort of article, because the present version of the bio needs considerable work, particular about the advantage of brevity and avoidance of name-dropping.
