The result was keep Charlene, no action on Barbara. No prejudice against re-nomination of Barbara Jackson (model), as that article was not discussed to any degree in the nomination or the subsequent debate. A Train^talk 07:34, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable model. Only trivial mentions can be found in sources but no significant coverage. — Za wl 15:37, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with The Battle of Versailles Fashion Show, which seems to be the claim to notability(that she was associated with a notable event). WP:BLP1E would seem to be relevant here. 331dot (talk) 16:23, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it's the norm to merge the biography of a random model to a fashion show article. It's not like the other model biographies are there. — Za wl 17:28, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps it would be more accurate for me to say the page should just be a redirect. 331dot (talk) 17:32, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Apparently I A3d this several months ago, so it was on my watchlist. But I'm seeing:

An extensive interview in TIME
Pretty decent coverage here, which appears to be a fashion site of some sort
At least honorable mention in WaPo, and HuffPo
Admittedly brief mention in Ebony, but specifically calling her "one of the top black models in the nation"
Probably more than a dozen passing mentions with folks rattling off names of people who were important for some particular reason

Specifically the Ebony and Fashion bomb pieces (and finding things like this) make me expect there is likely to be substantial 60s and 70s era print coverage not available online. Overall, there's probably enough available for someone knowledgeable about fashion to write at least a decent few-paragraphs-long article. GMG ^talk 13:57, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: this person became famous in the pre-google age but there are enough sources to establish notability. Someone needs to do more work here, but the Ebony source and WAPO both are significant. Montanabw^(talk) 02:37, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Note that two articles are nominated for deletion herein. Commentary appears to only be about Charlene Dash thus far, and does not appear to include analysis of Barbara Jackson (model).
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 12:33, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
