Delete - Notable or not, the references and available online sources do not assert notability for Wikipedia. Some of the IP edits in 2007 are clearly by the subject herself. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:29, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Online sources such as Wired.Com confirm notability for being a fashion model tech-geek[1], and she is apparently has a huge following in China.[2][3] Rednevog (talk) 19:32, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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

Keep per WP:NMODEL for having a cult following in China. Stuartyeates (talk) 07:26, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: regarding the cult following, the article reads, "She has a huge following in China," supported by: 1) this passing statement "Anina – a Paris-based American model who, with her cartoonish dress and love of all things tech, is apparently building a huge following in China." 2) this Q&A with the subject. The language ("is apparently building") of the first cite doesn't entirely support the contention, and the Q&A with a Chinese reporter talking about China doesn't have anything about her following there. If notability will rest in any part on a huge cult following, are there other sources to show it? I googled a bit in English and Chinese (阿妮娜) and didn't find much about her huge following.

Comment: Just having a 'cult following' does not satisfy the rigour of Wikipedia policies for inclusion and verifiable reliable sources.. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:21, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Apparently she is a top model in China according to this article by China Daily which featured her [4]. I've added that source to the article, as well as another reliable source citation from an article that featured her in the French language on Clubic here [5]. The article itself still needs to be trimmed to remove promotional materials and uncited claims, but she does appear to pass WP:GNG. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 16:01, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: A lot of the claims in this article are not referenced. 'Cult following' by who and I checked and it did not fulfill the criteria of verifiable reliable sources and some of the sources do not meet WP:BLP because they are not referenced, therefore Not notable.
