[edit] Petra Kvapilová

Petra Kvapilová (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

It seems it fails WP:BIO and WP:NOTE, lacks of sources, notice about her best friend is irrelevant. ≈Tulkolahten≈^≈talk≈ 21:29, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Delete per above. ≈Tulkolahten≈^≈talk≈ 21:28, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Split Infinity ^(talk) 22:34, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - does indeed fail WP:BIO and doesn't appear notable, besides appearing on several magazine covers Jayden54 22:38, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, NN model in the West but not in Eastern Europe, but expand and clean up Alf photoman 23:43, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Delete, I should have looked at Vogue and Cosmo, sorry out of the biz for too long...Alf photoman 14:14, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Please provide some reliable sources about this model and verification why she is notable. ≈Tulkolahten≈^≈talk≈ 06:45, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

lets see, Vogue Cosmo front page, 3000 Ghits mostly in Czech, sorry Babelfish doesn't help. Bookings for Armani Jeans/Beatrice as front girl and according to Look International: At this year's New York Fashion Week Petra was on the catwalk for Peter Som, and at the Milan Fashion Week she can be seen at the shows of Emporio Armani, Marni, Philosophy by Alberta Ferretti and Trussardi. Pretty good if she is not notable.... Alf photoman 14:02, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

But I agree that the article is of abysmal quality Alf photoman 14:06, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

As TruthGal said there are lots and lots of models. I think that the fact of work for some company is not enough for notability. ≈Tulkolahten≈^≈talk≈ 10:52, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. There are lots and lots of catwalking models, most of them - like this one - not famous enough to be listed in an encyclopedia.TruthGal 02:24, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. In addition to the reasons listed above, this article fails WP:V. Specifically, "Articles should contain only material that has been published by reliable sources." Charlie 12:16, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. MER-C 12:58, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep delete The covers of Vogue and Cosmopolitan (assuming we're not just talking about regional issues) and the New York and Milan Fashion Weeks are about as prestigious as it gets for a fashion model. If we can verify what Alf stated, then I'll upgrade my vote further. Caknuck 17:55, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
  • A Google search of "Tyra Banks" Vogue cover gets over 100,000 hits; a Google search of "Petra Kvapilová" Vogue cover gets 11 original pages. That enough to delete this entry? Okay... how about looking up her Vogue cover at http://www.vogue.co.uk/CoverArchive/ ? Oops, ya can't because Vogue has no listing for her. Nuff said.TruthGal 18:25, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
    • How bout if you try Google again? I find more than 4 pages.... Alf photoman 20:55, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
      • I've changed my vote. I could only evidence of cover shoots for the Czech editions of "Style" and "Cosmo Girl". I checked all of the covers for the UK and German editions of Vogue for the last two years, as well as many of the US, French and Italian editions. She may have enough regional celebrity to warrant an article on the Czech WP, but not here. Caknuck 04:49, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, here in the Czech Republic she has already a celebrity status (see e.g. here http://www.stratosfera.cz/celebrity/clb.osobnost.php?osID=542), and celebs are notable.--Ioannes Pragensis 22:11, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

I disagree, she is not notable even in Czech Republic. ≈Tulkolahten≈^≈talk≈ 23:18, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Here's another test - type in "Paulina Porizkova was born" into Google, and you get bio pages; type in ""Petra Kvapilová was born" into Google, and you get nothing. Paulina is a famous supermodel, Petra Kvapilová is not notable much less a "supermodel" as the article claims.TruthGal 23:51, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. She is not notable in the Czech Republic. Stratosfera is a tabloids publishing house and they they frequently generate articles like the one mentioned above (throw it on the wall, see if it sticks). Pavel Vozenilek 18:25, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
