[edit] Gricel mamery

Not notable -- only 425 ghits. hello,gadren 01:21, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Whoa. I'd like me a slice of that. Delete unless someone can provide reasonable evidence of notability ... please someone find evidence. Aplomado talk 01:32, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as NN. The article reads as if it was put together by copy-paste, too, but I don't care enough to do the research to find out since she's NN anyway. Devotchka 01:51, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete clearly unverifiable as there are no sources. Gwernol 02:04, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
    Keep per CrazyRussian, as long as the article is rewritten and properly sourced. Gwernol 04:58, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Clear Keep what sources? How about this: Anda Pa'l Cara? The article is awful, of course, but we can and should rewrite it into a decent stub. Hope the pics are not copyvios :) - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 02:19, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete no verification and little evidence of notability Kevin 02:40, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per CrazyRussian. Former host of a notable Puerto Rican TV show. This article obviously needs to be re-written, but deleting it would reflect a terrible bias against non-English speakers and cultures. --Cheapestcostavoider 03:24, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per CrazyRussian. She is a notable personality. The article is just horrible in its current incarnation. GassyGuy 04:47, 24 May 2006 (UTC) (sorry, re-signing this, didn't realize I wasn't logged on)
  • She's pretty. Keep, slap on clean-up notice. Vizjim 09:01, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, rewrite, rename (capitalise)(not sure if I should move it while its at AFD), and fix overlapping text and pic. Chuck(척뉴넘) 09:02, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, notable celebrity, the article is just messy, needs some cleanup. --Terence Ong 10:37, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak move, wrong surname case. Anyway a lot of improvement is it needed. -- Cate 11:23, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, to fight against ignorance-based assertions of non-notability. - Keith D. Tyler (AMA) 21:10, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Move to correct name, and cleanup. — ßottesiηi (talk) 23:49, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

As the author of this article, I did not intend it to be a Pulitzer winning biography, but this artist has been in Puerto Rican spotlight for many years, she is not a full scale celebrity even by Puerto Rican standarts ( those standarts are very high at the moment with artists like, Daddy Yankee, Ricky Martin, Jennifer Lopez, Benicio Del Toro, Roselyn Sanches ect. ). My primary language is not english pardon my inproper usage of some words and syntax mistakes. The image is a scan from a weekly magazine this current issue is out of regulation and is about 7 years old, if another image is needed I can provide an original photography, which is purely free of any comercial attachment. Deciding if this artist is notable seems purely subjective, I had the impression this was frowned upon in this project. I did not copy paste this, most of this information I gather from magazines I currently own. My writing is being harshly scrutinized and there are many grammar errors in the posts critizising mine, I do expect we are all adults, and I can take critizism of my grammar, and syntax but there are better ways to come across without making mockering of my composition. Thank you for your time.

  • Keep and improve the article, notable figure. The image looks like a mis-licensed collage of copyrighted shots, though, and as such should probably be Deleted. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 21:44, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Per nom. ILovePlankton ( L) 22:57, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Conditional Keep per Gwernol M1ss1ontomars2k4 | T | C | @ 00:34, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and fix; appears to meet notability guidelines. I have noted the image on Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images, however, and will post to the uploader's talk page. MCB 05:29, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

The image I provided is not a collage it is a scan of a page inside a magazine, that current magazine is out of print, it is not available comercialy, I found the scan in the internet, sorry if I misunderstood the image policy, I have original photography a photographer friend of mine took, that I can upload if necessary. - sorry for misunderstanding - --zetback 06:27, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep I don't really see any problem with the notability (except that it seems local to Puerto Rico). And there's really no need to discuss that it needs to be cleaned up since the Wikipedia is a constant work in progress, and /most/ of it's articles need cleaning. Keep it. No point in destorying a valuable article. - Tomodachigai
