[edit] DJ Sassy

Text of the article is advertising; a complete rewrite would be required to make the article encyclopedic. Appears to be an adult entertainer, and does not meet notability requirements for adult entertainers. Leoniceno (talk) 07:15, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete Although many of the nom's concerns are cleanup issues, it still fails the notability test and does not cite references, only link is to her own website. Beeblbrox (talk) 08:19, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. She's mostly known as a DJ, and there is ample assertation of notability in the article. This is a cleanup issue, not a deletion issue. PC78 (talk) 12:30, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep and cleanup The regular international DJing is equivalent to the international touring part of WP:MUSIC. DJs don't tend to tour in the same way bands do, it's generally one off gigs here and there. Residency at Ibiza club confirmed here, there's plenty more coverage in "The Sun/Scum", and doubtless there's ample coverage in more specialist music magazines. She's played with Eminem and 50 Cent on global tours according to this, which I've no doubt can be sourced slightly more reliably. One Night In Hackney303 16:22, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Nonstop promotional advertisement, full of claims of "one of the sexiest women in the world" etc. The link to the Sun aricle doesn't work when it does work, is just promotional fluff. The "femalefirst" link talks about her but what is it? The online version of some print media, or someone's fanblog? We need to know that the refs count as reliable sources. If kept it would need references and basically a complete rewrite to remove the blathery promotional POV tone. Failing that it would have to be stubbed to referenced facts. The chatty article does not even give her actual name. Edison (talk) 20:48, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

    • Delete. Even if she's notable, there's no useful content in the current version of the article, so what's the point in keeping it?P4k (talk) 07:09, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - spam, could nearly have been speedied. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:27, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment. It certainly is spam. I'm going to have a go at it and see if I can strip it to something usable given the sources located by User:One Night In Hackney. If it doesn't disappear before I'm finished, I'll weigh in with my opinion on its salvageability then. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:33, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. At this point, I have no doubt that this woman meets our notability guidelines however spammy the last incarnation of her article may have been. (And no wonder, since it was a straight up a copyvio from her website; wouldn't have been speediable as spam or copyvio, though, as its history has not always been problematic with these regards) I hope the closing admin will take note that I have rewritten it entirely (adding bolding), so concerns about promotion expressed do not apply to the article in its current form. :) I will probably poke a bit more to see what else I can come up with. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:42, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
