[edit] Heather Young (model)

Heather Young (model) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Author of a self-published book and the only other assertion of notability is an unverifiable assertion from an unnamed magazine. Accounting4Taste:talk 03:23, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment. Unless the article is a pack of lies, she is notable. Sources are required, however, for a keep.
  • Keep poorly sourced but bio. page at the book's link seems to establish WP:N. JJL 04:06, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
    • Reading the profile closely, I don't see the notability. "[F]eatured Heather in one of its articles profiling ten of Canada's top models" (she wasn't one of the ten), doesn't establish notability. --Brewcrewer 04:15, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete: I cannot find any references for the claims present in the article. We need "verifiability, not truth". -- Rjd0060 04:34, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete unless WP:V is somewhat satisfied. --Brewcrewer 04:39, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Smells like original research (ahem), and a decided lack of independent sources. Even with references, claims of notability would probably be dubious, at best. Epthorn 09:12, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Neutral. Certainly some claims to notability, but reads more like a resume/CV than an encyclopedia article, and may need cleanup per WP:NPOV.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 06:27, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Her own web site says "Ms. Young was listed as one of the top ten Canadian up and coming models in Clin d'oeil fashion magazine". The all-important words "up and coming" seem to have been left out of the article in an effort to claim notability. Phil Bridger 15:34, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Possibly notable if any reliable secondary sources of any standing are found but for now, searching Google's News archive for "heather young" + "more than a pretty face" yielded zero press coverage. I did find this "Canadian Review of Materials" review, but I'm not sure this magazine published by the Manitoba Library Association is sufficiently notable itself to establish Ms. Young's notability. (Any Canadian librarians out there care to comment?)--A. B. (talk) 18:50, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
