Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kristin sloan

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Delete. The notability arguments put forward by those proposing deletion are much stronger than those !voting "Keep". There also seems to be consensus that being in an iPhone advert does not warrant Notability, as well as the fact that injury seems to be an indication of non-Notability.

A pretty, possibly talented but otherwise nonnotable young ballerina. the only claim of glory is a "Bartholin Award", mentioned nowhere else on web (possibly confused with the international Bartholin Seminar). `'Míkka 01:53, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

• I would absolutely leave her in. I looked her up because I saw her on the iphone commercial and was intrigued. She may have a bigger future in store as a public figure. I certainly hope so. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.223.53.235 (talk) 01:25, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep. Reliable sources exist--a couple of mentions in The New York Times, a more significant one in Dance Magazine from back in 2000. The consensus seems to be that a promising career has been curtailed by significant injuries. Chick Bowen 01:28, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. "Promicing career" does not mean notability. 2-3 mentions not enough. Achievents are unknown. Mukadderat 01:19, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• Delete - Wikipedia is NOT a crystal ball. "promising career curtailed by injuries" is still curtailed to what one presumes is something short of notability. --Richard 07:46, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep per Chick Bowen. Rob T Firefly 16:35, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per Mukadderat. I see no assertion of notability in the article. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 16:47, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
• Weak Keep She is doomed to be remembered as the iPhone ballarina, much as Clara Peller is for Where's the Beef. The article should be rewritten (It doesn't even mention her pre-accident stage career.) A "Bartholin Award" appears to be a scholarship given to five talented students each year at teh Bartholin International Dance Seminar.jonathon 22:21, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
  • This is a reasonable argument but it's too early to know whether she will attain the same iconic status as Clara Peller. There's no reason we can't delete the article now and re-create it once it becomes clear that hers is not a fleeting notability. Besides, the Wikipedia guideline is document the event, not the person so if her major claim to fame is being the iPhone ballerina, then we should move the article to iPhone ballerina. --Richard 01:43, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
    • Actually, I don't see the ad as very notable ("Where's the Beef" was a huge deal--this was just one ad of many in the iPhone campaign). If she's notable as a dancer, keep it. If not, delete it. Chick Bowen 05:19, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, per mukadderat. Doctorfluffy 22:29, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per Chick Bowen & jonathon. She is also a model that has appeared in European magazines and is listed as a cast member in the movie Center Stage. --Evb-wiki 12:46, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
  • CommentShe's not listed in the Wikipedia article Center Stage because it's a bit part. She's one of the ABA dancers. --Richard 14:53, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
• Comment. I added a bit about her dance career, with NYT citations. My "keep" above is still weak. Chick Bowen 00:41, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
