Doesn't appear to be notable. There are a few sources out there, but they're more about the funeral home than her. Most sources are social media. Black Kite (talk) 17:54, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I understand she hasn't been covered much in regular press, but her image is so popular and so widely circulated on social media I think it is important to have a page with accurate information about her that people can turn to, because there is so much misinformation about who she is on TikTok. It's suprising that she doesn't have more press coverage given she is a huge celebrity on TikTok. 2607:F470:6:3001:8034:C1DA:3E6F:33E0 (talk) 18:29, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep One source in the Houston Chronicle [1] and Narcity [2]. Seems to be notable. Oaktree b (talk) 23:16, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Mmm - two local sources, one written by "Brittany Cristiano, a Staff Writer for Narcity’s USA Desk focused on viral TikToks, based in Houston". Black Kite (talk) 12:07, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The Houston Chronicle source seems good (the page won't load completely for me). But essentially this is someone who has hit on a specific advertising method, and to me that makes her a one-trick pony, or a kind of a BLP1E even though it isn't a single "event" but a single "thing" that isn't (yet) generally significant. Presumably if she begins to get more publicity, especially outside of her immediate geographic area, she could meet GNG. Lamona (talk) 02:53, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - the November 2022 Houston Chronicle source is a profile with some inteview and context; the brief September 2022 Narcity Houston source reports Tiktok stats, comments generally, and some specific comments on the TikTok account; the December 2022 Houston Chronicle coverage is a blurb in "Meet the 31 most fascinating and viral Houstonians of 2022." I have not found secondary coverage of the reality show on The Wynn Network. More sustained coverage in independent and reliable sources is needed to support WP:BASIC notability.

those articles came out before she blew up on tiktok, she became viral in january 2023. More coverage is likely coming soon, the media is often a little delayed from when things or people actually go trending. 2607:F470:6:3001:2051:BF66:E732:AA7C (talk) 04:25, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unless further sourcing found. Only The Houston Chronicle seems reliable. Checked Reliable Sources Noticeboard search for "Narcity" but nothing came up, so I'm putting it down as 'Questionable' hence article doesn't satisfy GNG. In any case, two sources don't make it; need more. Rupples (talk) 01:36, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
