• Delete Nope, not notable. - Richfife 00:32, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete up-and-coming model until she ups and comes. --Dhartung | Talk 00:49, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - her most 'notable' thing thus far seems to be that she's 'close friends' with one person who has their own article... --Mnemeson 01:07, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Non-notable. Vanity --† Ðy§ep§ion † ^{Speak your mind} 01:28, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
• Do Not Delete She is UP and Coming! I made this article to pay homage to someone who is up and coming. She was on the cover of Spanish Vogue too! That's a big deal! She's signed with several MAJOR modeling agencies and she's on their websites! You guys need to calm down! Also, she is related to one of the world's most classically famous actresses, Merle Oberon.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.174.160.135 (talk • contribs)
  • Reply Here's the thing: Wikipedia is absolutely, positively, 100%, do not pass go, do not collect $200 NOT for "up and coming" anything. If you're not notable right now, then the article needs to wait until you are. Wikipedia is not for raising someone's profile. It's for documenting people that already have a high profile. And Julia Oberon does not. - Richfife 04:40, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

• Addition Be it good or ill, I tracked down a link to a scan of the cover of the August 2004 Vogue. Is this her:[2] I have no idea. Does it mean she meet notability requirements? Probably not. The picture doesn't mention a name (as far as I can tell) and is more about the clothes and makeup than the model. - Richfife 04:31, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Reply Yes, that is her, and the fact that she was on the cover of a very prominent magazine, regardless of content -IS- important. She is up and coming in the USA, she is well known in many other countries as well. She has a huge fan base in Japan. Also, the fact that she is distantly related to the famous actress Merle Oberon should be enough to qualify her as notable. People are interested in these types of things, even though you don't seem to think so. Why would anyone use Wikipedia as an outlet to boost their notority? This isn't exactly People Magazine. And please, don't refer to *me* as if I was her. That's pretty presumptious and inncorrect.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.174.160.135 (talk • contribs)
    • Reply A couple of things. 1) The Merle Oberon connection is meaningless. I'm the second cousin once removed of the inspiration for the title character of Rain Main, the grand nephew of the junior Senator from Utah and the son of the head of the math department of University of Utah (these three facts are all true). Being someone's relative isn't meaningful. Even if she was, Merle Oberon isn't all that famous. Sorry. 2) If she was well known, there would be google chatter about her. The internet loves models. No fansites, nothing. Google is worldwide, but there are no matches for her name in any Japanese website. Wikipedia entries have to verifiable and notable. Julia Oberon is not. Why would someone use Wikipedia to boost their notability? The same reason they write their name on walls. - Richfife 07:00, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Reply Then just delete it and get it over with. The nerds are obviously the majority here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.174.160.135 (talk • contribs)
