Came upon this after a person claiming to be her publicist made this post at the help desk. The person then added the content we advised against posting, which I reverted (I have also blocked). After looking at the article and finding it sourced through blogs and other questionable sources, some of which I've removed, I began to look for reliable sources. All I have found are newspaper stories in which she is passingly mentioned as a player for UC Irvine's women's basketball team (News Archive search). A search with "next top model" returns nothing. There are many pages of web results, as is to be expected for a next top model contestant, but I have found nothing reliable to support an article as to notability or for verification. I propose deletion, then redirection to America's Next Top Model: College Edition and protection of the redirect.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 03:26, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - a quick scan of List of America's Next Top Model contestants suggests that at some stage, someone decided that (in general) winners and runners-up of America's Next Top Model and a selected few others were considered notable. Most of the other names are unlinked so I assume they don't have articles (I've checked a couple and that seems to be the case). Is there any particular reason we would arbitrarily consider winners and runners-up to be notable? Winners I understand, but runners-up? On the basis of WP:GNG (per Fuhghettaboutit's analysis above) the subject would seem to not meet our inclusion criteria. I supposed I'm inclined to delete unless someone can provide some sort of explanation or consensus determination for the rationale behind the haves/have nots of that list.

- Delete per nom. I just removed an entire section that had no references at all - a definite no-no per WP:BLP. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 19:03, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - no credible assertion of notability; just one step above Jeopardy! winners of the day. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:55, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
