None of these are reliable sources, and appearing in buzzfeed videos does not indicate notability. Natureium (talk) 01:13, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - she's an actor but not what we'd call professional or notable. All of her work is online, which anybody can create. Bearian (talk) 13:46, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep her bio meets WP:BASIC, while some of the citations are from the video postings at the sources themselves--this is natural seeing as she rose to fame via those internet sources. All of the combined sources and additional outside coverage clearly indicate that Brittany Ashley is a Internet celebrity, she is also the main subject in pieces that appear in the Washington Post, Bustle, The Wrap, Variety, Newsweek, La Weekly, Huffington Post, among others. Most of her videos have over 1 million views (such as "Dating Problems Every Lesbian Will Recognize" -- 6.4 million views. While Youtube may be a public platform, BuzzFeed Video is not--not anyone can create these videos and not anyone can amass the amount of views, shares, and followers as her work does. She was also interviewed by Carson Daly for her performances.

In addition, other YouTube/Buzzfeed shows/personalities also have their own pages: The Try Guys Tyler Oakley Michelle Phan Broke (web series) PewDiePie Ryan Higa Onision Like these aforementioned Youtubers, Ashley also has a large fan base and thus meets WP:Entertainer cbratbyrudd (talk) 13:46, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep (but trim) - there are enough third party reliable sources to establish notability, but also appears that there's some web citations that are unnecessary. Content based on sources not representing periodicals should be removed. - Scarpy (talk) 19:15, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Agreeing that there are sufficient sources for notability, but the article does need some cleanup. I've done a little bit to try to help out. LovelyLillith (talk) 22:40, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:NACTOR#1 and 2 and GNG. I added another source about her dismissal from BuzzFeed. Thsmi002 (talk) 13:05, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP, Sources online and in the article confirms her notability, Meets NACTOR & GNG. –Davey2010^Talk 15:51, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
