Advert written by this 16 year old's father. -- RHaworth 15:41, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. 15 year olds are rarely notable (there is not enough TIME since 1991 for her to be 16), and this is not one of the times when they are. 171 ghits, none of which are actually about THIS person. -Amarkov ^babble 15:50, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - Might qualify for a speedy, but I guess the advertising is not blatent enough. As the nom pointed out, there is also reason to be concerned with the page's author. Check the history to find out why! (teasers on AfD never work that well) →Bobby← 16:14, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

NO they don't -- I suggest that if you have perjorative accusations to make, you do it openly, rather than by innuendo. Having looked at the page history, it does appear that the author may know the article's subject in a more than incidental way. Would you prefer it (I can almost believe you would) if any article about a person was required to be written by someone from a country at least half the globe away ? -- Simon Cursitor 14:25, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

I doubt it, but it IS much preferable for it not to be written by the person's family members. However, note that a conflict of interest can only bolster other deletion arguments, it is not a rationale in itself. -Amarkov ^babble 14:28, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete Clearly non notable scope_creep 19:42, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Appears to violate WP:COI. Ohconfucius 08:36, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as a non-notable singer. But she can return when she establishes a career that doesn't involve just backing up her father.Montco 21:11, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
