[edit] Celeste (VelvetGeisha)

ATTENTION! If you came here because someone asked you to, or you read a message on a forum, please note that this is not a majority vote, but rather a discussion to establish a consensus among Wikipedia editors on whether a page is suitable for this encyclopedia. Wikipedia has policies and guidelines to help us decide this, and deletion decisions are made on the merits of the arguments, not by counting votes. Nonetheless, you are welcome to participate and express your opinions. Remember to assume good faith on the part of others and to sign your posts on this page by adding ~~~~ at the end.

Tagged db-bio but contested. No assertion of notability is made in the article as written. Just zis Guy you know? 15:35, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete It is WP:VAIN article, also google has 4 hits for this persons name, two linking back to her homepage. --Porqin 15:38, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
• How come you nominated this page for deletion? The author of the site hasn't even been given time to write his case of why it shouldn't be deleted. Also I have also found more sites on Wikipedia that is of the same type that has been there for ages without getting deleted (like Masuimi Max) so what makes this article any different? Please respond as I would greatly like to hear your thoughts on this matter. I run the official fan club of that actress btw.. She may not be up to Masuimi Max's status yet but she has a fan base and we don't understand why the article on her has to be deleted. — Possible single purpose account: Velvetgeisha (talk • contribs) has made little or no other contributions outside this topic.

• Any page can be nominated for deletion by anyone. This process takes 5 days of a community-based discussion, so the author of the page can come and discuss the reasons why the article shouldn't be deleted (as you appeared to have already done). Maxuimi Max is listed on the imdb along with having thousands of google hits (You can always nominate this page for deletion of you feel so inclined). Also, as running the "offical fan club" of VelvetGeisha, you go against the vanity guidelines as outlined by Wikipedia. --Porqin 16:03, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Well most of the aricles on Wikipedia are written by fans of their subject to begin with. I mean.. who would write about something they don't even care about? Some maybe but most have some interrest in their subject. Also just because someone runs and official fanclyb doesn't mean they are die-hard fans... I know of people who work for the managment/agent of bands/actors etc. that get paid to run the fan club. --— Possible single purpose account: Animgoth (talk • contribs) has made little or no other contributions outside this topic. 16:40, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Vanity is one of the problems with the aforementioned article, but notability is the bigger concern. You haven't (so far) stated why VelvetGeisha is notable. Note: The use of multiple accounts in a discussion arena is against Wikipedia policy. --Porqin 20:55, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Delete per nom. Also, delete redirect VelvetGeisha. The article contains several factual errors. Swedish, Norwegian and Danish are mutually intelligible. Also, what relevance does it have what languages she speaks? The article completely fails to state why she would be notable. Mackan 16:24, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

What languages she speaks is under trivia for a reason... and altho danish, swedish and norwegian are on the same language tree they are still 3 different languages (with their own vocabulary etc.) and most norwegians don't speak or even understand swedish and vice versa. --— Possible single purpose account: Animgoth (talk • contribs) has made little or no other contributions outside this topic. 16:40, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Not that it's all that relevant, but that's not true. See for example [[1]]. Also, I have yet to meet a Norwegian who doesn't understand Swedish. And I went to Norway. Mackan 16:57, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Well I am norwegian and I know many norwegians who don't speak swedish (or understand it) and I know even less that understands danish..we do however have no problem reading danish due to the fact that Bokmål is very similar to the written danish and is in fact related to it.--Animgoth 00:56, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Non-notable - lots of people would love to learn Cantonese, Korean and Mandarin. Dlyons493 Talk 16:35, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

and loads of people collect blades but does that mean that the trivia part of angeling jolie's article should be deleted? --— Possible single purpose account: Animgoth (talk • contribs) has made little or no other contributions outside this topic. 16:40, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Probably, yes. Why? Just zis Guy you know? 16:48, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. Gothic Beauty appears to be an actual print magazine, so if she's really been featured there (rather than just mentioned) that might make her notable. But someone would have to find the article. --Allen 16:53, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

It is the issue 12 spring 2004. SHe is one of the WIcked Talent Girls (UK).--Animgoth 00:56, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
