[edit] Elyse Sewell

• Keep- Easily the most entertaining and captivating character on the first season of a successful show. Many fans of the show favored her over the winner and her modeling career is steadily growing, whereas the winner has all but given up on modeling.
• Loser of a game show. Non notable. Alphax ^τεχ 14:30, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Not notable for anything. Copyrighted images need to be deleted as well. Ashibaka (tock) 14:49, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete nonnotable. "third to next top model" is not fame. mikka (t)
• Abstain. Potentially she could be notable as a model (i.e. for work done after her appearance on America's Next Top Model), although more evidence would need to be provided. --Metropolitan90 04:51, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Change my vote to Keep per information provided by User:Pictureadder and User:Schreck37; the Harper's Bazaar cover is verifiable. --Metropolitan90 01:49, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)
• Weak Keep marginal notability. JamesBurns 05:54, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, come back when you win something. Radiant_>|< 09:04, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep--Flagger commented that Elyse is non-notable. This person is starting to be very very well known. In fact, the E channel took note of her this year. E placed Elyse as 16th in their All Time Most Outrageous Moments. Please note that all other placers on the show are noteworthy. Elyse is also burning the internet wires. Statistics on internet searches this weekend showed that searches for Elyse zoomed more than 500% where as the actual winner's searches zoomed only 250%. Elyse has been on covers of magazines. The winner has not. We know that runners up often achieve more than actual winners do. With all the other stupid stuff I have seen on Wikipedia in doing my pre-writing work, I cannot believe you would consider deleting her. Please go to the referenced blog and read thru more than the current entry. If there is a problem with the pictures, I'll switch them out. I see you used pictures from the show Elyse was on at the America's Next Top Model page. If there are no problems with those, there should be no problems with these. Also, Elyse Sewell's name has been listed on America's Next Top Model page as a contestant because writers of that page, not me, felt the listed contestants are what the show is focusing on each week for more than a couple of months. She did not appear for just one show and that was it. She was narrating sections each week for months. Now the show is being broadcasted over and over again on VH-1.

  • Comments regarding sockpuppets, honor, any other subsequent allegations and this process I will write on my personal page. ADMINISTRATORS PLEASE GO TO MY PERSONAL PAGE Pictureadder 16 June 6:33am

• Delete The fact that Pictureadder is a professor somehow makes Elyse Sewell more notable? Could rename it to the "next to the next to the next top model". --Xcali 17:57, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Keepish Someday, somebody's going to need to look her name up. Gzuckier 13:50, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Keep The entry on Elyse should be kept, because she is the only contestant on any season of Top Model to amount to anything in the modeling world that wasn't simply given to her by Top Model's producers. Elyse has appeared on the cover of an Asian edition of Harper's Bazaar in addition to working steadily in Hong Kong and other locations around the world. Keeping her entry provides a useful contrast to the sadly lacking modeling careers of the so-called "winners" of this increasingly laughable reality TV show and highlights its haphazard judging.--Schreck37 21:57, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Keep Whether she's making a big name as a model is irrelevant; the point is that she has a good sized fan base and is going to be of ongoing interest to them, and to those who hear them mentioning her. She may not have won the TV contest, but she was by most reports the main reason the show was a hit -- such a significant hit that the UPN network remade their entire schedule to try to appeal to young female viewers, discarding boy shows like Star Trek: Enterprise. Since she has been published more than once as a humor writer (which ought to be mentioned in the entry), and her blog audience is growing exponentially due to her wit as a raconteur, this is not someone who is going to drop out of the public eye just because of not being a superstar in modeling. --Paul Kienitz 00:27, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
