[edit] Leesa Fogarty

Leesa Fogarty (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

The subject of this article is a fashion designer who attracted some press attention when she she insisted on using "normal-sized" women to model some of her swimwear. (And good for her.) None of the press reports included much biographical information, however, and its difficult to see how the article could be written as anything other than autobiography. Plus, it reads like a CV rather than an encyclopedia article. So, it did not surprise me that the article was started by Bluepedal (talk · contribs), which is also the name of one of her companies. Moreover, all of the substantive edits have come from IP addresses that have few or no edits outside of this article. This article could not be rewritten by a third party editor because there are insufficient reliable sources; thus it should be deleted.

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

  • Keep with conditions, she seems to have some notability, but that article is a POVfest and full of link spam, if that cannot be rectified with good sources about her other achievements *Delete.  Atyndall93 | talk  07:48, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete as spammity spam spam spam. WillOakland (talk) 08:09, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete if it needs a massive rewrite then delete it and someone can write it later if she is still notable, but are encyclopedias really about 15min fame? 65.11.23.219 (talk) 08:37, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete linkspamfest and promotional essay, but allow for the possibility of an objectively-written and -sourced article on the subject at a later time. Sorry, but this one has to go because it would be better to start anew than to try to modify this to maintain Wikipedia standards. B.Wind (talk) 02:49, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
