The result was no consensus. However, as iridescent has found valid sources, I'm closing as keep with cleanup rather than relisting. Bearcat (talk) 06:29, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Amy Lau

Amy Lau (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Interior designer. First article by this author. Reads suspiciously like an advert. Is she notable? -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 07:55, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete and note that this appears to be a WP:COI/self-promotion case. An even worse version (now deleted) was created by User:Amylaudesign a couple days ago. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 11:39, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete I tried to CSD it as G11 a few days ago, but the request was declined. ArcAngel (talk) 13:49, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
    If the article can be improved by taking out the unneccesary links, and adding in more references that establish notabiltiy, that could persuade me to change my opinion. ArcAngel (talk) 14:55, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep as the admin who declined the speedy delete request. Unreferenced does not equal unreferencable and this one does seem pretty easily fixed, and apparently a bona fide notable figure in her field; on a 30-second Google skim I can find features on her in House Beautiful, BlinkDecor and Elle, hardly two-guys-in-a-shed fanzines. — iridescent 13:58, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep per Iridescent, who I'm sure will find time to expand and reference this article accordingly. Coccyx Bloccyx (talk) 18:29, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
    • It's on my ever-growing to do list but can't say when it'll happen. — iridescent 15:37, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep, considered a "rising star" in her profession (though probably not a notable award in itself). She's an organizer of Design Miami[1] Ah, here we are: One of America's Top Designers (HB, 2004). Just needs non-primary sources and a whisk broom for the language. --Dhartung | Talk 22:11, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep per Iridescent and Dhartung. Jakew (talk) 19:56, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. The lack of citations from reliable sources indicates to me that the article fails to comply with the verifiability policy. Stifle (talk) 21:17, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
